Nithya put it perfectly in her comment on my previous post.....after all the drama I did get to go to Delhi. Coelho`s statement is so true....did want to go back home very badly....and wallah...godsend....college decided to dend me to Delhi for 10 days for some official work.
The trip itself was amazing....Bombay-Pune expressway, Mumbai (all first time)....the train trip...enjoyed every bit.
In Delhi...went to each and every hangout that I had been missing for the last 5 months....had to work in b/w the enjoyment....guess its ok...caught up with friends..narrated MBA stories (already have many of them)....mom was just obliging with all my fav dishes :-).....Delhi metro rockssssss.....
10 days just passed in a flash....
There are a few things that sturuck me in this trip....one is that there is a palpable sense of fear back in Delhi....ppl are thinking twice about going to crowded markets....guess the bomb blasts have done their job....really hope the city gets its spirit back..
One thing that disgusted me is the state of out news channels....while some like NDTV, CNBC are doing a fantastic job....others , the hindi ones, have just become cheap television versions of the UK papparazzi and tabloids....every petty incident anywhere in the country becomes breaking news and the kind of news they are focussing on is sickening. There was hardly any coverage given to the Bihar elections...come on guys its a state election....instead that sick police guy who is acting like a gal and his petty family issues were hogging national airtime....
even if this is what sells....guess media should stand up and regulate itself.
Am back in Pune now....second sem is on....missed a few classes but thats ok....:-)
