Leaving nightmarish examinations
long way back and waiting anxiously for 2012, it seems as if I have had my fill
basking in the eternal bliss of “idleness” these freezing holidays. Sitting
alone at the corner of my bed, I am pondering over those short, beautiful
outings that me and my friends had in our short span of college life despite a
tight packed schedule comprising back-to-back lectures - all thanks to the
tedious semester system.

| Lover's Point, Hans Raj College |
Of
all the moments, I simply adore those spent at L.P. sitting with my friends,
breathing in the aroma of maggi and enjoying the sizzling hot and spicy
spring-rolls. YUMMY!!!! Believe me Hans Raj College canteen’s spring rolls are
a wonder plus the cafeteria’s frappe and maggi are the most sought after.

| Tom Uncle's Maggi Masala |
Talking
about maggi, I just got reminded of Tom uncle’s popular Maggi point. Walking under
scorching sun in blistering heat, taking short breaks at the “bantawallahs”,
reaching up to Khalsa College, eventually asking the beat officers for the
right directions, we finally and thankfully reached the point with growling
stomachs. The esteemed “thela” as anticipated was overcrowded. We also
ordered for a maggi of each kind- Masala, Onion, Cheese. Having my fill
for each, I realized that if I am ever coming back to this point, I will
definitely go for the Masala one because being the cheapest it is also
the core recipe to all the maggi’s. After that came the turn of the vivid
drinks that Tom Uncle offers. I found jaljeera the best as again all the others
had same tinge to them.
This
is all what I remember about that hot, sunny “maggi” afternoon which further
rejuvenates my memory of a beautiful lazy Saturday afternoon with drizzling
showers adorning the atmosphere. We all geared up for our visit to the “Naini
Lake” in Model Town. I thoroughly enjoyed the boating and the auto ride.
But fun without blunders is not possible.
Blunder
No.1 – We reached the lake at 11:30 a.m. though the boating starts at 1:00 p.m.
Blunder
No.2 – We had no short route to come back home due to demonstrations at various
places regarding the anti-corruption campaign.
But
who cares!! We enjoyed and captured those moments.
My
opinion: Visit this place if and only if you and your entire group has nothing
to do and the amazing weather is not letting you escape home either
because just like all the public places, it is again a couple’s heaven as per
the tradition.
These
are the literally a few of the beautiful moments which I find difficult to
express but will always cherish and nurture in some corner of my heart.
THESE
MEMORIES!! GOSH!!! I am desperately waiting for the college to reopen and to
live new moments…… Till then CIAO!!!
