After a terror struck month of examination (that’s why had to stay away from all of you), everything seemed to change…The nippy morning was not that nippy and the languid body was full of vigor as if prepared to give another wave of examination. My morning started with the all famous bed tea served freshly baked cookies and newspaper. It felt good to meet my long lost chum and at the same time was disgusted to see the same old stories of rape, chain snatching and still continuing “India against Corruption”.
