Stepping into a new Bubble-world


Describing this place is not easy.
I felt like an alien dropped from another world, having no idea what was happening around me. I walked around the campus on the first day of my MBA college to find out the happening places, if any. But Alas! There were none!
Struggling hard to mingle and jingle, finally I found my kind of comfort zone, but still not so comfortable. I preferred to stay aloof from the people of this new planet.
In short, there was no motivation for dead aspirations. Alice was totally lost in the wilderness.

As weeks passed by, followed by a few confusions, rumours, happiness, and home sickness, I figured out people who may fit in my frame.
When I look around this beautiful place, I find myself at peace. I look out of the big glass window of my hostel room and fall asleep. Everyone is so different here. A bunch of nice, strange, and mysterious people. Geniuses, Flirts, Down to Earth, Sweet, Manipulative, Super Mean, Diplomatic, Confused, Lost, and No-Dumb People are the categories they fall into. 

We have Porcupines, Pinky, Noddy, Bunny, and all sorts of live cartoons. A place where the 377 Act is legal (not literally:. A place where you get funny counselling sessions. All pretentious grown-up people who are still kids. With the discovery of the Romeo-Juliet and Filler stories, we have DDLJ here. But "Chal koi naa,"  this is how life moves on fast yet gently. Far from the hustle and bustle, we discover a serene place that seems like a live painting with brown hills, green plains, and dark black clouds raining somewhere. Moving over your head is the cool breeze that makes you forget all the worries and traps you in its beauty. You walk and walk and walk along the 5D painting, and it becomes your "Walk to Remember." It has been only 2 months, and a few relationships have emerged, swapped, changed, merged, exchanged, and dissolved already! 

No doubt we are on a roller coaster ride here that will end soon, though it is just the beginning. At times you feel disheartened, thinking there is no one for you, but eventually there are people to make this place a liveable one. Alice is in a strange wonderland, but it was always meant to be. In a matter of months, the place and its inhabitants will have vanished. Some stay in the frame, and some fall apart, but none stay with you forever. But that is okay. The memories matter, and we are just at the starting line of the race.

Some original pirated sticky notes that make the write-up complete: 


Hiding your smiles is neither pleasure nor 
the love and joy no one can measure. 
I am pennyless yet own a treasure... 
of friends and pals with whom I leisurely 
live each and every moment without any pressure."


"It's really sweet.
that we meet...
Life's a paper sheet.
with a lot of marks.
and seldom neat."

"Strangers come to make their place.
Owning an empty space...
Friendship brings us to Bloomy Lane.
where we shared some joy and pain.
Load the moments in memory train."
