Long time to blog..so a lot of things have happened in the two months I was away..summers..home food..career aspirations..what not!!!

Met some interesting people..some people who looked like a reflection of your past..some you'd never wanna meet again..phew!

Colleges restarted..wanted a shift denied..but the fighter continues..juniors have come..they look bright eyed and eager..let reality dawn on them..they kinda have already started complaining about lack of time!!

The most interesting person I met this summer was a chap called Siddharth..a guy..who had to drop out of class as he had no money..parents stay in a village and can't support him..used to work part time and attend college but it didn't work out..all the guy wanted was someone who could talk to him..guide him..you could see the desire to succeed in his eyes..He was trying for a break in the BPO sector..but lack of experience and Language skills pulled him down..the day I met him..he'd cracked a job offer from a domestic call centre and was literally in tears. I hadn't known Siddharth before..but the hour I spent talking to him..cemented my faith in the Spirit of the People of Mumbai..we fight it out and win our way!!!
