I was sitting in my office, browsing through the internet for some presentation I have to work on. Pretty much the busy me I always am these days. Just a glance across the little date flashing in the right hand corner of my laptop, made me realize, today I completed three years in the Capital, in Delhi. Astonishingly enough, I remember the date, the day I stepped into the capital leaving behind the comfort zone of my own city. Back then I used to be a student- clueless about the lifestyle of the city and ecstatic about the newly found freedom.
From daily lectures, and night out with friends, to buying vegetables and taking care of the laundry, my days in Delhi made me familiar to myself, and instilled a sense of belongingness to the city. The crazy madness of checking PVR cinema timings each Friday and looking forward to a friend’s birthday just to pester him to treat us are memories which would be etched forever in my mind. They are a part of my growing up into an adult in true sense. The city stands as a witness to my journey from being a student to a professional.
Three years! It is surprising how different goals I had back then! One of them was hunting down all fast food corners of Delhi every weekend and now I am hunting for a Delhi Gym which would suit my office timings! Not that I have grown in size, I have just grown conscious. Delhi would always be a treasure trove of fond memories, and my metamorphosis from a girl to a woman. On this day, I could not help but look at what I used to be and what I am now. No, I have not lost anything. I do not have any regrets. Sure, the Capital is flawed in its own way, but on this day, I choose not look at Delhi the way it is by most. I want to thank it. Thank you, Delhi!
