Back to Ahmedabad

The tucchas told us that this will be the lightest of all the terms we spend in the first year at WIMWI. So when I reached here at 7:30 am, I was expecting a nice, relaxed time, at least till the end of the weekend. I paid the fees and went to collect the study material for the term. And my welcome to WIMWI jolted me to reality - the books we were given weigh a ton and I could barely manage to carry them back to my room. The others too had trouble with this weight-lifting exercise.



And the readings for the first day in economics itself totalled some 60 pages (in a smallish print). The term has begun really auspiciously.

The last week, which I spent in Bombay, was great. I managed to see almost all my friends who're still in Bombay. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet Aditi, Ashish and Priyanka. Perhaps during my next visit, in November. Also fun was riding in the BEST buses and local trains. I was very intrigued by the reduction in railway fares - perhaps the first time I have seen a decline in prices charged by the Indian railways. Obviously the most fun I had was playing with my niece Vrisha.


So back it is to WIMWI, and I am looking forward to a great term.
