ITM College to ITM University

The new sign board of ITM University on right side of main Palam Vihar road took my attention few days back. ITM College has turned into ITM University this year (deemed university as far as I can guess, provided I know the background a little bit). I have been crossing ITM college for more than 4 years during my to and fro communication between home and office. I have been noticing the different weathers and transformations coming and leaving this institute. The beautiful gathering of students around the gate always keeps it a lively place to smile at. Also I have seen the student strikes for fees hikes and accidental increase in paid seats, the placement sessions with long queues coming out of gate and going quite far back, the lunch breaks and lot of eating joints popping up in form of carts and bicycles…The only time of the year when I really don’t like passing in front of it is when it is completely silent, the exam/result days in months of April-May-June. This year again, this silence had been prevailing till last week and now again, I am noticing some movement. Till last year, ITM hadn’t its own transport system and students had to organize their private conveyances but this year I have seen one bus of ITM always standing in front of institute when I pass in morning.

The ravishing and energetic youth has always been bringing smile over my face throughout these years of monotonous work life. I am hoping to see more crowd, happenings in this year and welcoming first batch of this ITM University -)

* How difficult it is to say NO to your boss ?
* How comfortable most of the people are in expressing their “personal life” needs ?
* How much buttering-of-the-boss happens in most of the companies ?
* How we never say NO to the client because he pays us !
* How we are made to work on Saturdays, Sundays and late evenings and we don’t have the guts to say NO !
* How we don’t have the guts to call a wrong a wrong !
* How stupidly we think that if we don’t agree to what the guy sitting in front of us says, he will feel bad !

The Bakery

There is new bakery in town i.e. around our living place. It has got variety as well as quality which we like the most about it.

Not to dangle from the main topic, the discussion here is about what has it got to offer that we have had so far – just for sake of sharing, for information to others living in and around Sector 23, Gurgaon!

 

Thanks to our maid who hasn’t been coming for last 2 weeks that I got change to visit this bakery. Chunks, Vinny and Poo had been there for few times in past when I was at home on vacations…yeah our dear maid hadn’t shown up in those days as well. Me and Chunks are the fellows who are at home over weekends. And we have got company of each other only. We enjoy it the way it can best be enjoyed…watching movies, listening songs, roaming outside, eating and not to forget, sleeping.

Last weekend was my first visit to Bakery thinking that this might be the only time I might be visiting it. We had Chhole Kulche the very first time on the guarantee of Chunks for good quality as he already had them once. And then as soon as it started, it didn’t stop for every other weekend day when it was meal time.Since then we have tasted Pav-Bhajee, Chhole Bhature, Jumbo Sandwich and Shahi Paneer with Butter Naan.

No need to say, we have enjoyed every single of these soooooo much…yummy. Definitely recommended. BTW, its name is Samrat Bakery (Chunk thinks that it is one branch of big chain and no comments from my side).
