journey to my first seminar for IAS
Deciding the objectives in life are obviously easier than setting out a pursuit for them;by far i had figured it by now.
the first seminar for the same was held at Vile Parle recently at some Harvard Hotel which probably reminds me of one of the organized places i have been to.Now,being a resident of Dombivli everything seems quite far to me,like our class tutor used to quote,"people beyond Thane stay on the other side of the mountain."i believe it was quite true.
The lecture was supposed to start at 10:30am,an appropriate time for the people to start making moves for their career,i suppose.i got up at as early as 7:30am,washed my bowels,had a light breakfast and was out of the house by 8:30,if the clocks were to be believed.The train's journey was the most obviously chosen one and i would be too inane to deny it.the voyage from Dombivli to Dadar was a peaceful one,quite unusual from what it is used to.Of course,what else would one expect on a perfectly deserved national holiday but the people from Western Railway,i fear are meekly contrasting from their cousin.the trains were packed and i had a hard time getting inside the boogie with my adrenaline pumping,stating clearly if the first seminar would prove too costly for me.Somehow with diffidence i boarded the Vile Parle station from a running train which had become a ritual by now,after four years oof reckless travel in trains.period.
Now,asking for directions is quite a funny problem for me.Somehow the people seeking for direction are answered with so much jest,especially in my case that i always feel connected with them.Now it most obviously doesn't mean that my forefathers had something to do with it but if the existence of Adam and Eve are to be believed then its truly endearing to note our relationship with one another.
The destination was achieved with a crisp 10rs. note to Rickshaw-Wallah.I had taken my first step,waiting for the next,hoping for the best!cheers!
p.s-{i was the first one to reach there.i topped!chuck man,such childish achievements!}
