In a few weeks, I shall be absorbed as permanent employee. In other words, the beginning of the end of college life lies just two weeks into the future. The general interpretation of such a situation as I have gathered from fellow trainees is that we have two weeks to have the fun that we’ve had this far. After this, corporate life will destroy free spirit, free thinking, and free holidays. I’m lucky I don’t share the viewpoint completely – free thinking and free leave will most definitely be put an end to; but considering the probability (about 70%) that I shall be posted in virgin territory, a place I’ve never heard of let alone seen, free spirit may keep me going for a few more months.
The place is called Rudrapur, 60 km South-East of Nainital, Uttarakhand. Some people I’ve spoken to, paint a very habitable picture of the little town and that has greatly affected my mental state. I now look forward to being absorbed, packed up and dispatched to the countryside.
Recall the watermelon juices I’ve written about last month. They were diabolical and lethal as I’ve learned after being more than just under the weather for close to two weeks.
A rule has been created – Never risk fruit juices out here in Madras, unless you are fond of falling violently ill.
And oh!! I still managed to sketch something, its up on Photographites. Ciao!
I am glad that Rudhrapur is not the place given to you ’cause now you are just 300km away from me. But the fact of the matter is it makes hardly any difference. I haven’t met most of my pals from college since semester end.
Keep writing…
