Hi everyone,
Just to keep in touch with my writing, I was searching for a topic to write. Then I bumped over one of the blogs written by some Shenoy. To tell you the truth, there were blogs which meant absolute sense and a few others which had no relevance to me but still found interesting. Maybe, this blog would be of no relevance to you or not even interesting. Still..
I was supposed to write the CAT(not the Administrative Tribunal) and IIFT in Hyderabad. The centers were somewhere in Abids and Koti. My roommate accompanied me to search them so that I need not roam around on the D days. I had the centers located on the Google maps (So thoughtful of me isn't it?). We took a road to reach the first destination and came back to the main road taking another one. The route to and fro second centre was a bit more confusing. Lady Luck guided us through the correct lefts and rights and brought us to the place where we had to catch the bus.
So what happened in the meanwhile? It was a sheer irony. I had great dreams of roaming in the cities of some part of Europe taking a map with me, struggling to ask the route to the passers-by, enjoying every inch of my walk and the sceneries, doing a great deal of window-shopping. And the reality was I was roaming with the map in the crowded city of Hyderabad, struggling to walk on the road, cursing the city and the weather, couldn't even find the windows. Then I gave a self-consoling monologue- “This is just the starting. Mera Number bhi aayega!!” .
But then I realized, this is the charm and spirit of any Indian city, this is the reality, this is the place where I can be happy the rest of my life. It would actually be strange with no people around, no buzzing streets. I can of course enjoy Europe for so many days but how long can I stay in the fairy-land? I should return home. So we decided to board the bus back to the hostel. The long stroll though not as dreamt of, was still beautiful and refreshing.
