360 days ago !!!!

It was a sunny day. Around 7.30 AM, I got up and was getting ready. My mom was shouting at me " Its curfew out here and where are you going ?". I dint answer her question because, if I tell her where I am going, she will not let me go.

I went to sandesh's room and he started saying " I dont know even a single person out there and why should I go with you?". I looked at him with a sad face and he finally accepted. After a painful journey of 1 hour we reached secunderabad. It was painful because we traveled on the bike continuously for one hour and in the city traffic. Finally we reached the destination.

It was my colleague Keerthi's marriage . After a gap of 300 days, its because of her marriage, I was able to meet all my colleagues at HSBC. It was such an awesome feeling. It was the time wherein I was attending IIM interviews. My colleagues, after seeing me, were asking questions only related to IIMs and how my life would be if I were selected. It was really a good feeling to see my colleagues praising me. I met my TL, PL, Aravind etc etc and yeah padma and sushil, my juniors. Not to forget, I also met Keerthi, the person behind the occasion :).

Till this point, it was fine. But the real problem started then - "How to go back home ?". It was almost 11 by the time I reached my area. The curfew was still on and everywhere there was police and they were hitting the people, who were on road, with lathi. I was shocked seeing those images and started feeling the "fear of lati charge". Somehow I was lucky to escape the police and came home safely.

It was such a strange day wherein I went to the marriage just to have some thrilling experience and it happened to be that way only !!!!
