Bye Bye Delhi

The day began on a very positive note. A no of friends from FSS ( formerly HSS) called up to inform me abt smthng they hv been waiting fr a year now - appraisals n salary hike. let me not disclose the figures but the hike hv been pretty substantial n all of them looked quite happy over this. fr last one yr most of them hv been cribbing abt money they hv been getting, but it has all changed now. i simply wonder how a salary hike can do wonders to the employee morale.... congratulations to all of them.


meanwhile i hv packed my bags to head fr my destination - IIM Ahmedabad. this packing thing took sum time. actually this is the first time i wud be staying away frm my family fr such a long duration of time. did my schooling here, got admitted to one of the premier engg colleges in india( yeah NSIT RULEZ ) , got a decent job in gurgaon... i never had to move away frm delhi. my world has been limited to delhi n ncr region...... so i never had to this packing thing . but now i was forced to do the same. another interesting thing was a lot of people giving plethora of advices.

' beta take 2 alarm clocks . in case if one goes bust, u still hv a backup'

' take ur own nail cutter. dont hv to run to the neighbours asking fr sharing this stuff'

' take this press with u. but dont try to use it,otherwise u wud burn ur clothes. u may become a fashion statement in ur college if u give it a try.....:) . '


a lot of gyan came fr washing cloths. from the type of detergent to right combination of detergent n water - the gyan included everything. i seem to hv become a more learned person now.


the journey was a peaceful affair....apart frm 2 small kids on the adjacent seat continously fighting n crying n their mother trying to pacify them. well its certainly difficult to manage young kids. no wonder a lot of govt compaigns say -' bachhe, do hi achhe'. but their antics kept me amused throughout the journey.


My registration is on 23rd. so till then i wud hv some time to explore this city, meet a lot of fachhas n tuchhas ( iim a lingo fr seniors) n hv a feel of the campus. i intend to buy a new PC here. wud be getting the new PC by the end of this month. so wud be dependent on computer centre of college fr net access.

So fr next 3 months- Bye Bye Delhi. Ahmedabad- here i come....

i guess that the no. of posts will decrease as the days goes by:

hope ya get ur own comp soooooon :
"hum palke geeli na kar sake
aur unhe lagga ki hum roye nahi
vo kehte hain ki khwaboon mein hame dekhte hain
aur ek hum hai hi kitne dino se unki yaad me soye nahi"
