On the way back home me and Jij spoke extensively for about four minutes and for the rest of the way I just kept staring at the busy night life of Delhi while at the back of my head I began to compare it with the stand-still life of rural India that I had witnessed in the past 36 hours of the journey. Delhi is a very charming city and although I haven’t seen any other capital of any other country I still felt that this city is very special in many of its ways and I have always had a special affinity towards it. I reached Didi’s place and found my sister more happy and jubilant than she ever could be to see me and thought of the very unlikely kind of a farewell I had back home but anyways everyone seemed happy on both shores and I was just happy to get some home made food. I found that my didi had kept a couple of girls as PG in her flat, both of them students of Amity studying microbiology or was it biotechnology who cares, which meant I wouldn’t get my usual room but I was just too tired to feel bad about it …..I could have slept on the dining table. The next morning I woke up late, real late, so much so that I joined everyone for lunch. My Didi lived in Noida and since her marriage I have been here more than half a dozen times but still I find Noida a very lifeless place that is very different from Delhi and it may be because here everything seems so planned and perfect whereas Delhi with its imperfections is just perfect. I still had few more days before my college started and I thought of making the best utilization of it by …..well watching TV, sleeping and eating a lot. I also made a call, somewhere in between all that hard work, to my college to make sure that the day of commencement of the classes were still the same as said and that’s because when you have been living in India for almost quarter of a century you get used to these unscheduled delays!!!
