A fortnight in Delhi

Hey all.

This post is related to the Workshop for which I was selected at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. I met some amazing new friends and had a great time there, I thought a post about is must!

The first day I landed there-- it was all chaos!!! students were sitting with their baggage in the Bharti Building (CSE Department), while the organizers had no clue that we were even coming!!! Slowly and steadily the room filled up n i kept on seeing one geeky face after another. Then when finally the rooms were allotted, we had a sigh of relief in this terribly hot climate. But past the first hectic day, it has all been a nice journey!Some simple lectures in the mornings, some higly complex ones too---the whole class slept in one of those(OHT)!!! and all these coupled with fun filled evenings and awesome nights (Don't start imagining things!!!--hvnt been to any pub:( ).

But this post is not about the workshop... Its about the people who made it awesome!
The things I will never ever forget are
1.the 'paranthas', 'kulfis' and 'lassi' of the famous 'Paranthe wali Gali'@ 11 pm
2.the trip to 'Garden of five senses'---(can write a whole blog on that trip!!!)
3.the late night Pizza, which we all ate sitting on (almost)road---courtsey NIDHI
4.the truth and dare games @ 2 am
5.the 'taash' with sangeet,pulkit and abhishek bahiyya!!!

Whom to start with--?... Well I guess 'Ladies First'..!!!
Malvika--- The most talkative of the group, but sure kept the enthu levels of others up all the time, a bindaas girl with whom time will pass very fast!
Nidhi--- This one can kill you with her thoughtful comments coupled with that cute smile..!Always game for roaming around and her speciality---'Bando ki BAND bajana!!!'
Joyeeta--- Not very reserved, not very outgoing, always wants to be part of things, sadly didnt get to know much about her!
Didnt have much interaction with others!

Now about the Guys:
Pulkit--- my roomy,loves to sing songs(romantic), loves to play cards and a fan of the word 'CHOWKUS'
Sangeet---A guy who just knows one thing--- we need to have fun! great at keeping accounts and was our cashier for almost all outings
Vijeet--- The most serious character of our group, absolutely in love and committed (To Newspapers, i believe!!!), a die hard fan of the Legendary 'Byomkesh Bakshi'.
Dumesh--- this guy from chandigarh is always ready with solutions to your problems, truly optimistic and has a huge urge for practicals which even surpasses his urge for lunch many times!
Ankit--- Renamed as Ankita by the girls, the most sincere and 'achcha bachcha', a member of our enthu group
'Chotu'--- this second yearite always found himself n the wrong places among us, always silent and serious...!
Me--- welll u guys can write the comments of what u felt about me!

All this was just a humourous attempt to describe u ppl--- no hard feelings!

What we did during the workshop apart from classes were playing cards till 2-3am in morning, unless guard would come and ask us stupid questions, watch movies(which i always do neways!) and roam around in delhitill late in nights. The most memorable was the paranthas we ate @ 11pm in chandni chowk.
On the day I was about to leave, many things kept on happening and finally there I was at 3.45 pm all set to leave happily for my home, but I dunno why the thoughts of not going so early kept haunting my mind! Then when I was about to leave the main gate, Nidhi, Joyeeta and Sangeet showed me the video they had developed for me, that moved me too much!!!Just the thought of how strong bonds you can make in such less a time as 15 days kept boggling my mind as I was watching the video. As the video ended---I was speechless!!!The feeling cant be expressed in words--- but guys really I cant thank you enough for making my stay so wonderful. After seeing the video, it was the first time I ever wished that my internship in United States started 15-20 days after, and I so didnt want to go back..., but sadly had to...! Its all I can say to all of you:
"To meet and part is DESTINY, to part and meet is the HOPE", and I really hope to see you all soon!
