Summer of '10

All summers till date, I have spent either traveling or getting back to my village. This summer was different. This summer I haven't traveled. I spent all of it in one place - Mumbai.

Before it all had started, I know I was heading to yet another rat race with in the CAT race. The internship saga that happens in all the IIMs. I was waiting for it. I was ready to take it head on. It had been a wonderful experience. Learning about Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds wasn't something I was prepared for. But what the heck.. It was interesting. Following it up with farming, It couldn't have got any better.

The whole of two months just passed in a flurry. 2 of my main activities - Work or come back home and sleep. Weekly parties, monthly outing and movies set the tone. I have been to some of the best eateries of Mumbai. I have had the most exotic food. I interacted with the best of the best. To sum it up.. It was an 'experience'.

I got a chance to visit Goa for the first time.. Loved it so much that I went back again towards the end. While the first visit was a serene two day holiday amidst the coconut trees, the second was a wild casino party. Goa is one place I will remember for the time to come.

Now that I have come back to the campus, It feels empty. It feels free and liberated.
