This day that age

It seems like just yesterday…Feb 28th 2005

Shattered parents’ dreams. Disappointment with self. Decision to make that journey to Mumbai. Co-passengers. The disillusioned brother with renal problems. The advice. Symbiosis. Philip Kotler. Early morning wait. The punjabi taxiwala at Dadar. Chithappa’s house after 2 years. Zilch preparation. Next day morning. Chiththi’s uppuma. Struggle with autowala. IIT Delhi. Maggi at canteen. Presentation. Slide show. Group Discussion. Interview. Foot in one place, heart in another. SMS from Joseph. Karthik Sankar’s success. Tense moments. Back to Chithappa’s place. Tired. Call to Chennai. Disappointment in Mom’s voice. Browsing rediff. Empty inbox. 3 new mails in bulk folder. Happiness after reading the mails. The handshake. Another call to Chennai. Call to friends. Dad’s narration of events back home. Chat with brother-in-law. Journey back home. Central Station (my temporary home again?). MTC bus. Quarrel with drivers. Decision on what/how I’ll tell colleagues. Talk with manager. Happiness all round.

Such moments come once in a life time. Cherish it whenever possible.
