Summerrrrr

I am really experiencing what Summer means ... North India is killing me ... I am so thankful to God that in two months he is shifting to the West :)

Super excited actually .. My first job, my first pay, and my first visit to the City of Dreams. No, I have been there for something like 50 hours precisely when I went for my SJMSOM interview. And the only place I have been to is IIT B and Hiranandani Gardens. As faith has it ... I am going to work at the same place.

Delhi heat is really getting into my head ... I actually take bath at least 4 times a day. The water is so warm even at the night that I have to keep it for 1 hour to be less than my body temperature. The slight pink cheeks (yes, I did have that) that came during winter all down the drain. Yesterday, Delhi recorded something like 43.xx degree ... the hottest April after 50 years. And yes, I am here to witness the historic moment.

I don't know why I start writing blogs when I have this tight schedule where I need more than 24 hours a day. Sem ending as usual kinda hectic. I will be bidding adieu to Delhi in another 1 month. I would have said its nothing but tragic events after I came here except my final placement. God has made up for all what I went through 2 years.
"dene wala jab bhi deta deta chappar phaad ke
kiti kiti kitna kiti kiti kitna
dik taana dik taana tikna tikna"

Yup, this seems like my theme music these days :)

So ... studies are taking a back seat. I have no clue where my time goes.

First week of April, I was on a 'hectic holiday' to Jaipur and Agra. I have been there before. But Taj Mahal was stunning as usual. We just spent 1 day at Jaipur and Rajasthan was burning. Just a small tour to the usual places plus loads of shopping.

I am beginning to like photography. I took some decent snaps during that trip. Not the scenic ones. Natural people in the frame. I must find out how people become Anne Geddes, always had a weakness towards those works. Maybe she knows that I might leave banking and go after photography if I get some encouragement, so mum keeps quiet about the snaps I take however good it is. I think she isn't interested too.

I will miss Delhi ... thats for sure. I will miss my life as an IITian, the campus, the peacocks, the cycling, the 7 storied hostel, the hostel mess, the potato and paneer here, my local guardians, Indira Gandhi Airport, Select City Mall, Green Park, DMS of course and my Mallu gang. They have all been kind to me.



I will miss all those days ... In one of my earlier posts, I had written that I hope Delhi will be as good as Cochin. Though I had to go through real tough times, I am sure that Delhi and my campus leaves a smile on my face. God's grace !!!
