Before I could blink, term 2 has almost zipped by. The end -terms are less than two weeks away, which means two weeks before I can go back to Bombay. Which also puts into perspective that I, wander-lusted as I am, didn't go anyplace in the interim - just stuck at ISB and Hyderabad.
That changed last week. Nine of us decided that two day break after midterm was just right to take off someplace, and we went overnight to Hampi. After getting ribbed about all sorts of "hump" jokes on campus, I think we were the most envied. So what did we do in the two days? Eat, sleep, drink, cross rivers, hike across ruins, eat, sleep...And discovered a beautiful hippie village called Anegudhi across the Tungabhadra river. No prizes for guessing what we did there - that's right, eat, sleep, drink. The food there is lovely, the erstwhile Vijayanagara kingdom capital too spectacular for words, and the hippie village, manna from heaven. On a personal note, I've now travelled randomly across nearly 18 states. Missing are the seven NE states, Bihar and J&K. Would love to go the NE before really backpacking across Europe.
Apparently we've also set a new benchmark for a holiday at ISB - the earliest that any of the previous batches at ISB took off for a holiday was not before Term 5. Next up --- Pondicherry, Term 3. As Samsung would have said it - Everyone's Invited
