A visit to college..

Ramjas College, University of Delhi

Last month I had a visit to my college (Ramjas college, North Campus, University of Delhi.
As I stayed at Dwarka in a relative’s apartment, I took metro to North Campus (VishwaVidyalaya Station).. 1hr metro journey L ... The moment I left metro, I found lot many changes. Infrastructure, roads and lot many new faces. I felt like a stranger to the place where I spent 5 memorable years.

Then I went to my college. The college too had changes. Like, a new Sports building for the commonwealth practice (our college was the venue for baseball practice). In the process our college present batches have lost their sports ground.
There was much renovation in the college. One thing that didn’t change was our college office. Same typical government office J... Slow bureaucratic way of work and the office staff was also same notorious. They made me wait some 1 and half hrs for a mere 5min work.
The sad part of the whole visit was that I didn’t find a single old batch-mate or acquaintance in the North Campus area.

I have found a lot many differences between school and college after the visit.
Still find the warmth of the school though some new teachers have joined. It’s a rejuvenating, happy feeling when I visit school. But I was a total stranger in college.. :-/

  3. May have something to do with the fact that ghs is kind of protected from commercialization because of the fact it is in a small city versus a large city like Delhi...
