Path!
1pm,month of June.Scorching heat,thirsty lips,and legs numb with pain.I stood there fifteen minute sharp before I was let in through the winding staircases and beautiful landscape.I was scared.Exams are definitely scary,isnt it?Room 10,that way,said the guard standing stone cold at the entrance.The faint breeze tossed my hair.I let out a sigh of relief.For the first time I was at the prestigious Hindu college,Delhi University.I had a mixed feeling of pride and terror!
So,the bell.Death bell?For some funny reason it reminded me of Shakespeare's death bell in Macbeth!
I chuckled.A look at the question paper and I went blank.It was absolutely the opposite of what I expected it to be.I hurried to complete my paper but alas!the "bell" had rung.I met a group of sad,moist eyed mates upset over the exams.I remained quiet.I lost hopes.I was enchanted by the red brick landscape of Delhi University and I secretly longed to be there.Who wouldnt?
Well!it was time for me to leave. I packed my bags half heartedly,wanting to cry.A week passed.The results.I felt I lost the game.The game to a bright future.Day 2.My happiness knew no bounds!It was like a dream born out of ashes like the phoenix.I rang my dad up.I set out for another journey,with rebuilt hopes.
Yes!I made it.I was selected.A new journey.Promising as it seemed.Who knew then life had some other plans.
Delhi:I was so ignorant of the glitz and glamour of a metro like this.I was new,suddenly pushed amongst the "well dressed" masses.The colourful metro lines were altogether confusing.A new place,and definitely a culture shock.
\A new place to live in,and new varieties of food.Place!yes,that place brought tears of repent in my eyes over choosing Delhi.I spent a week,feeding on mineral water and definitely the misery of an unwanted dirty living condition.
Struggle had begun.There was no looking back.I was scared by my psuedo intellectual classmates!
Were they really well read?or was it mere pretense.Well,a coin definitely has two sides!Aha!
No doubt,I had brilliant classmates and well ,excellent teachers.
Four beautiful months,and as I said life gives you unexpected turns!I was selected once again for my studies abroad.New hopes?built form the ashes of desires?Yes!life it is.Unexpected trysts.I feel like a traveller,travelling places,meeting people,constant struggle to survive,fighting my own vulnerabities and adjusting to vulagrities!My unexpected,exciting life.Yet I am content.
Come what may,I will stand and brave thee!
