STARTING NEW LIFE AT BHU..

BHU gate Lanka

Finally after a hectic 10 day period in which I moved from Delhi to Varanasi twice and ran here and there continuously throughout,I am finally at peace.Getting admitted to BHU was like a dream come true for me.I have aspired to be a part of this prestigious institution ever since my childhood and the satisfaction I feel these days is hard to express by words.

 The results were out in the first week of July and ever since then,I have been restless.I clearly remember how I spent two entire weeks,losing my sleep and being restless throughout.The restlessness is taking a toll on my body and I feel a little tired but as almost everything is settled now,there is no issue as such with regard to tiredness.Moreover,the excitement of living in a place like Varanasi is too much to overcome.It always had a very special part in my heart and now as I have got the full two years to live here,it is satisfying indeed!

 Leaving the family  is never a happy affair and it is saddest when you leave for the very first time.My parents came to the station to see me off,which was necessary kind of,as I was leaving for such a long time for the very first time.When the train started,there were tears in their eyes as well as mine.As my train started to pass,I was waving hands and they were reciprocating in the same way,I felt like jumping down and running back to them.No matter how much we pretend to be tough,these moment bring tears in the eyes of almost every individual.I realized how strong the attachment is between a person and his parents.For some time,I stood at the gate waving hands,the station passed soon and with that the sight of my parents waving hands at me.....I don't display much emotions usually but at that moment tears were pouring down my eyes...

 As I moved past,there was certain sense of joy.I was leaving my family for a good purpose,and my parents must have realized that their hard work in raising me was certain to be paid off.Arriving here in Varanasi for the second time in a week,I was full of joy and satisfaction.Last time I was in confusion,there was a lot of uncertainty regarding the admission and then there was a lot of nervousness too.But this time,there was pure joy!I went to the Vishwanath temple here at BHU.I have made it customary to visit the temple whenever I arrive.The hostels were allotted on the very same day but not before we had to be tired of requesting the authorities to do their jobs properly!

 In the night being too tired we slept immediately so that the body returns to normal the next day.I am proud to be a part of this prestigious institution and being a student,I'll do my best to do justice to my position here.Being far away from home it is expected of me to excel for my own benefit as well as for everyone else surrounding me!

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This...

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri...

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com...
