enroute Bangalore

January, the 7th......it was twenty hours forty......I got a call...I missed it... For those who do not know me, I generally dont pick my phone at one go.After a regular 1 to 2 hours of how-much-I-miss-college sessions with Pooja[P from here on],I put the receiver to rest....Before I could sink into ma bed, I checked my cellphone to know how many calls I had missed....:) And I saw Yashoda's missed call[Y from here on]...
We had been classmates for 4 years in college but were never the back-slapping,punching-you-in-the-ribs types friends, so her missed call set me thinking. It was 11.30 when I had checked The Call, but knowing the kind of nocturnal animals we engineers are , I did not hesitate to press the call back button. The phone rings and then somethings are yelled into my ears and my mind goes numb with excitement.....We Got Our Joining!!!
Next few days were abuzz with phone calls,parents yelling how careless and slow we were ,coordinating all the stuff we had to do, saying ciao to all friends....hunh!!!And finally on 18th of January,4 of us P,Y,Saurabh[S from here on] and me ofcourse ....all starry eyed 'New Joinees' set out on a trip that was the start of one of the most memorable journeys of my life!
