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

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).

It rained in Gurgaon today

…and it was long awaited.

Above photo of tall building is the place I work in – Infinity Towers, of the day when it rained last time!

And we found out that we never wore Bata Shoes after school. Pankaj, Dhami and me, we found this fact when I was going with Dhami for buying him new pair of shoes. He needed something specific and though Bata was proposed as a consideration in that category but was voted out by all of us – absolutely.

As they say -

Excess of everything is bad

It turns out that when we were children, we had no choice to wear shoes other than Bata as it was one trusted brad from generation of our parents and also, we weren’t aware of any specific good shoe brands in childhood. So that time, we never realized that not to live by choice might make us dislike Bata so much that we might never like to wear it again. It is only at this stage of our youth in which we are realizing that

Prolonged exposure to the things without choice

may result into unnoticed hatred

BTW, I knew where to take Dhami and he liked my opinion. What can make this vendor more profit than 100% when Dhami picked two pairs instead of one. Yes I am a wonderful friend – thank you Dhami for saying that again !!
