And finally it's all about Mom.

4.30 AM - 5AM (thereabouts) when I finally get home, I will have Mutton Biryani, no matter what I do I am sure she will be wide awake to welcome me and that pretty much sums up everything and anything.

Oh btw, my Mom lives in Pune.

The place is opposite Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan.
The place is where we crashed countless times.
The place has become our "goto" place.
The place has graffiti on top, jhula down, awesome people inside.
The place quite literally defines the essence of Pune.
The place is MJ's place.

That place is gonna be hounded again.

So its about 7 PM. Done with the football match. We are all dead tired. If its Pune university then that means a trip to the univ canteens for a good cold neembu pani, samosa-chutney, sabudana khichadi. If its MIT ground then a quick trip to Durga for the good old cold-coffee followed by Pav Bhaji at Jijai and kulfi at chandni chowk. If its Pune camp then the sandwiches at Marzorin or the King Burgers and Thumbs Up at Burger King.

One thing common to all would be the long, pointless, lukkha conversations with no relevance to nothing. Just pure laughter and fun.

5-8.30 PM's in Pune were probably the most unproductive and best times of my life.

4 more days to go

10.22 AM. Darn! Late again. Quick shower, put my jeans on and off on my bike.

11.10 AM. College campus. I walk by the lecture hall. I shrug, its pointless having to hear the professor's rant again. Turn around and aah!! There is my fellow lukkha friend Amey. It doesn't take much to convince him the futility of siting for the 10.45 lecture. Cold Coffee is enticing enough and off we head to Durga promising ourselves that we would be back in time for the next one.

11.45 AM. 2 Cold Coffee' down, anda bhurji (1 by 2) has lured us.

11.50 AM. Whoops!! What the heck! It doesn't make sense to go back now. We continue our extended breakfast into lunch when are dear batchmates join us.

It's a cloudy day. Good chance it's gonna rain today. Ahem! Ahem!
Amey: "Sinhagad or Khadakwasla?"
Me: "Sinhagad. Bhajias and chai, don't you think?"
Geek: "What about practicals guys?"
Satchit: "Practicals!! What Practicals?" (chuckles)
Me: "Done! Sinhagad it is."
I call up Akshay. "Akshay!!! Wassup? Dude can you copy down the practical notes for me please. Thanks mate"

That pretty much summed up the 4 years of engineering.

Just Another Post

Turning a few pages back wasn't really in my list of things to do but it happened. A little bit of pain crept in, I wouldn't deny the freshness of its intensity. The time passed by didn't seem to matter. I wrapped it up once again, never again to let it get out, atleast that remains the intention.

Is this always gonna remain with me? The only answer I get is not the answer to the question but the fact that I have a home to think of. I have a go to place at the end of the day. I've seen Americans building a home wherever they end up, but thankfully for me, I will have something that will always belong to me. I am gonna get to see it once again. I am gonna get to see home.

I have a greater happiness to live for than the pain. I thank God for that favor.
