The little bird sighed, “Oh me, oh my!
How they will laugh if I try to fly.
If I flutter and flop, or tumble and fall,
Will the creatures all laugh at me, clumsy and small?”
But the sun shone down with a kindly face
“Just try and soon you will fly with grace.”
The bird practised hard never minding to fall,
And now the great eagle flies highest of all.

Continuing my story from where I had left it..I studied in a newly 'autonomous' college with good resources. Being in the capital was an advantage. Moreover, I was studying a subject that was relatively new in India,but I got 'uhmms' and discernable 'tchchs' from uncles who were doctors and engineers. It wasn't "Science' or a B.Tech! Really! neither did I care, nor did my parents.
I had a great time at college. I attended all classes!(in an Arts course, students consider it against the rules to do so!), we were a great bunch of friends, who shopped and had meals ta the good joints in town, went for movies, had night-overs at each other's homes and shared practically everything.
The professors adored the dedication and results :). I enjoyed college life, never needed NOTES and did fairly well. Through the 3 years,I was among the top 3 in Honours and Pass subjects, topped in English and enjoyed Economics.
I enjoyed upsetting set patterns and challenging internal authorities. We had weird and staid ceremonies, that we as a batch planned to change. I was happy to be the 'Jhaansi ki Raani' urf "Bali ka Bakra(Bakri)".
That episode will follow soon..
