Back to the Grind, of the MTV kind ;-)

Been a couple of days since I got back to MICA. The campus is as heavenly as usual... the green pathways and the red brick walls. Moved in to Champa (it's the name of a pretty flowering tree, and not a pretty, flowering but out-of-work bar girl). I've got a lovely room with a fabulous view of the sunset, monkeys, a barbed wire fence and an electrical transformer. And I'm still so happy. Being on campus does that to me.

Traveled from Bombay to Delhi and back to Bombay last week. Got used to the Great Indian Railways over the last one year... so flying again felt like a novel experience. Kinda like a villager in the city. Bombay domestic airport is pretty much like your Parel station. The baggage screening area looks like a huge messy garage. The groundstaff are smart and efficient but not courteous. Nope, no one to offer help with heavy suitcases there.

Flew the snooty Jet Airways which thanks to its snoot factor had much much shorter lines than Air Deccan and SpiceJet. Anf flew Air Sahara on the way back, and somehow... liked it a lot better than Jet. Maybe it had something to do with the three hunky male stewards on board. Or maybe because the ride wasn't so turbulent. And thankfully, they do not play Mrs. Suborto Roy's songs while take off.

"Ahmedabad is supposed to be a nice city." Just wish I could vouch for that myself. Will explore city this year.
