I didn't pay attention, that girl was Charu Sharma and you know who is the little one, Rupali ,of course. Simranjeet strongly felt that she had too much make up, maybe she could share some with us. Outside me, our sikh friend and Apoorv were greeted with seniors , who tried to rag us but they were not trained properly.

I remember this one picture very vividly. Its me with me frown, on the porch of our rented house. Which I thought was our house in North Delhi.

Except that the phone number was pretty cool to remember - 5757231. This is one phone number I would remember throughout my life. Side-note: no matter how much you might be your mother's boy, your dad's phone number is still the most etched in memory. Because he gets things done. And yes, I am close to my mother. Let me tell you...
Deep! :/
