Differences

Well im getting used to the place, Allahabad, seat of knowledge and University of Allahabad fondly called oxford of East!!!! the campus is spread the entire city and i gotto use cycle to go from one place to another... the one thing that i hate about this place is the HEAT..... its so damn hot, ofcouse poeple here are accustomed to it but lemme tell you, its so hard for me to acclimatize....
an interesting thing is that there are a lot of kenyans here.... i met this guy here, kenyan named KT.... and yes ofcurs, he's doin his BA here .. he shared some of his experience.....and let me tell u, twas funny. during the first few days when he had come here, he spotted an elephant on the streets and started to scream and began to run, so lookin at him people on the streets were puzzled and asked him why he's runing? to which he replied tat elephants are wild and he dint wana die.. ppl started laughin and told him tat elephants are tamed in India... hmm wat can i say " welcome to india"..... my other friend here told me that he had done the same thing when he saw a buffalo( the best part is KT pronounces it as boofaloes).......
one thing i need to mention is the people here..... they are so friendly and helpful.... students in the hostel came to my room and enquired if im comfortable ... i was so damn touched by the fact that they were so bothered.... hope it remains the same
as i said Maharaj takes leave on sunday and that's why mess doesn function on that day.... btw maharaj is the main cook in mess here.... wat a irony, his name n work
i needed to buy a lot of stuffs so KT took me to civil lines where all the allahabadi posh shops, hotels, stores can be found.... so first stop was big bazaar and i never thought dis place has anythin other than the roadside tasty chat corners n local kiosks..... well good for me
so there was i, happily lost myself in de shop and emptied my pockets.... and then another shock, guess wat theres McDonalds here.....

well one thing i learnt is " dont underestimate any place"..... i must say im indeed happy. guess next month ll eat out instead of mess .....
