" Hurry up... else..we will miss the Bus"
Varun, a Raghu in making, yelled at me as i had steeped out to buy a water bottle & some snacks.
Where to ??? Namma Bengaluru...:)
Well the journey to Bengaluru as part of 2nd Phase of CWS had begun. To spice it up we were sitting right in the front seat of A luxury bus which would drop us at the destination 15 hours later.Cold breeze of uncertainity was washing the converged expectancy. The honky horns, dim shady head lights of vehicles, and many little chats were enough to keep our pulse ticking... it was long before we fell asleep.
" Wake up kid... Majestic is here"... He yelled 2nd time... Startled i looked at my watch.. 11pm. Mystic dusk was at its peak. We decided to show some mercy to our grumbling tummys and call it a day... Waow... Here i come.
Next day early in the morning, travelling through the slim paths, i took varun to my college and placed our luggage there. We had to set up the venue by 2 pm.... As my prev college was in festival mood, We had a lot to be happy about. Firstly...some coolant to eyes, fresh faces, loads of music and FOOD. :) Ha Ha... what a way to start the day.
4 pm: The event started with many students entering with puzzled looks. Guess they were wondering , why on this earth 2 handsome looking guys from SIBM, Pune were there to ENLIGHTEN them for the next 3 hours.. Hmm.. Price to fill SNAP form Baby... :P I am sure they attained "Self actualization" right on top of Mr Maslow..
Day 2...
I am already sweating.. where else can i be? Chennai....Filter coffee,Heart thumping music which i was lucky to pick some beats, white revolution in form of Dhoti's and Brilliant ciaos... Edging off the Loyola college wasn a difficult task. Thanks to Varun(fact that he is a unofficial Tambi...) my conversation was easy. Learnt to talk in terms of 1,5 and 10 rs ... :)
We had to run around to accommodate extra chairs as the enthusiasm of chennai crowd was never better. Crisis handling( expected to know in a B School).. was put to execution . We decided make 2 teams and explain them About CWS... "Hello Chennai....Good evening.. I am Sandeep.."
Standing by the super fast train, chugging its way through silver waterways, golden beaches and fresh Cheese Aapam...i looked around me. My heart was satisfied... traveling Thousands of km and conducting an event successfully, was amazing feeling...
" Tambi..... Coffee??????" asked a Coffee wala...
Sipping aromatic filter coffee, calm breeze tickling my face, the horizon faded in to violet calm evening.... turning crimson...
I will be back..
