ISB walks

The ISB campus is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in India. With wide, sprawling landscaped lawns and lush nooks and corners you can escape to when you just want to be alone, its truly a scenic treat. When in college, i used to take a lot of walks. Some of these, much to the dismay of my closest friends, were in a state of complete inebriation. i used to simply walk rounds and rounds of the ring road listening to soft slow romantic songs on my ipod, yes, half drunk!!!! Yes, it was totally a healthier form (trust me walking rounds of the ring road was definitely a calorie burner) of wallowing in self pity but I truly miss it!

There were sad walks: walks taken while endlessly analysing and dissecting why the boy i loved couldnt quite make up his mind between me and his other lover (dont ask)

There were happy walks: walks taken while congratulatiing myself on a project well done or an awarde won or receiving a noteworthy praise from a noteworthy classmate!

There were taking a stand walks: walks taken while telling myself to finally take a stand on something and make sure I dont go back on it

So many walks...

But i guess the walks i remember most were the ones that i took with another, sharing views, arguing heatedly, or just walking silently taking comfort from each other's presence...walking home with a friend after a study group meeting, walking back with the boy i liked after a party, walking with a visiting girlfriend to just show her the sites in ISB, walking with whiskey cup in hand with a friend discussing whether the girl he is dating right now is truly "the one".....

ISB: walks to remember  :)
