dussehra

Hey its been a long time since i wrote the last post in this blog....Its not that nothing interesting happened in my life but was too lazy to write it....

Walking down the memory lanes the first thing that comes to my mind of recent times is the small trip to a waterfall just 7-8 km's away from home with 2 of my friends....it was a perfect weather for outing, so took off with my friends on my sisters car for a small trip uphill just for a drive and nothing else....being persuaded to go further up, we reached a beautiful waterfall which was brimming with water thanks to loads of rain that took place just few days back of the incident....it is surely one of those activities you just imagine to do in college life as school kid....

The elections of PU took place in September, but i like to stay away from all this politics and stuff....loads of canvassing took place with people from various parties coming to our class rooms to tell us about their past achievements ,but after a while it became boring and irksome...well a funny incident took place just the day before the elections...i was waiting for a friend of mine near a tent of some party...getting bored, i took out my camera and started snapping the hoardings and party campaigns...while the camera was still in my hand a group of people came to me  following conversation took place-

them -"excuse me, from which newspaper are you ?"

me-"what?"

them-"from which paper are you?"

me-"arre am a first year student."

them-"OK....actually our parents dont know that we are campaigning ,so we dont want them to see us in newspapers.".....LOL

Finally came Dussehra....its one of the festivals i used to impatiently wait for in the school days cause we used to get a long session of holidays for it(but with loads of holiday homework which i still think is nothing but trash.). Anyhow we still got holidays this time also but that too just for 2 meager days after which we had a sessional...well after a long time, i guess after 4  years, went to attend the much hyped dussehra mela and noticed how different i had it pictured in my mind.....basically i was accustomed to see  loads of known faces earlier,greeting everyone with vigour and happiness and getting the same comment year and year again-"kitna bada ho gaya hai....i have known you since you were this much! "....and all those games that we used too play like throwing the ball at bottles, and card games(which i guess were still there but didnt get a chance to see due to the lack of space in front of the stalls), we specially used to get pocket money just to spend on this kind of stuff....but all was gone now....with thousands of unknown faces and no one to recognize you, i came back home with just few pics of it in my cellphone instead of the goodies like gada we used to have earlier.....
