Life @ the hillock

Its hard to believe that i've been here for over 6 months now. Seems silly now... but my biggest worry was " how the hell am i gonna wake up to an alarm clock!!!! " Typical maybe for someone leaving home to live in a hostel for the first time.

My first time away from home... Scary... what was even more scary... "i'm heading to IIM.. ME!" 'ME' to whom bears n bulls were greek and latin... "but hey.. its not all about that... u'll learn.. " i told myself... and oh boy... did I !!!

Ever since i stepped on to the hillock.. it's never failed to surprise me... be it seniors who receive you like old friends, console ur parents with warm smiles saying "Don't worry ma'am/sir... she'll be just fine" or my friends (ya... friends within hours of meeting each other)

Starting then, i've learnt to survive on 4 hours of sleep a day, eat Maggi @ 2 in the morning trying to keep awake to finish assignments, run around to different meetings...

But its not all that drab :) Basketball in the rain.. Badminton at 1am in the morning... singing out loud in the hostel corridors during unearthly hours... and of course taking those long long walks to the gate n back watching the sunset....

If your wondering why there's nothing remotely related to 'studying' here... :) well... its not all about the grades.. is it?? have always been top of ma class... u know what.. its so much more fun being the average student.. :)

The hillock has truly enchanted me... it makes me feel like i belong... it truly does.. for it doesnt matter where you are from... or what you look like.. or how accented your Hindi (believe me.. my Hindi's ridiculously funny)... this is a place where u can be who you are... and a place that i know will help everyone here become what they wanna be...
