The view of “LALBAGH”
from its archway portrayed lustrous green everywhere. We asked the driver to
park the car at the appropriate place and asked him to join us for a walk
inside, but he preferred smoking to walking refusing the invitation very
politely. Taking a sneaky look all around the garden, we decided to make our
ways into the garden. We had to climb a small rock so as to reach the temple at
the top of the spot. The temple was worth the demand and so we reluctantly
decided to go ahead with the plan of visiting it. As soon as I reached the top
of the spot, the very view that was very evident to the sight, took me back for
I could see only the couples around the temple who were spoiling the ambience
in the name of their “Dirty Love”.
The postures of people
around the temple revealed male love on top of female love’s lap, vice versa of
the above, both under a common “Cover up” (Dupettah), male love lying of
female’s lap, vice versa of the above, both of their lips entering a wedlock
and many more postures that would demand a clean “A” certificate for my write
up. I was totally disappointed for the entire scenario. As soon as my parents
see this, I really wanted them to get out of here as they would probably feel
bad for all that happened. So I stopped them from climbing the rock saying it
is not worth the climb and took them back to the ingress.
Having faced a nasty
disappointment for having been there to the rock, we thought of taking a right
from the entrance which led us to a nursery. It was filled with numerous plants
and trees anybody would never bother to give a damn at. As soon as we entered
the arena, we were guided inside by a local guide who knows only the local
language. Neither him nor I was successful communicating verbally with each other
and so decided to carry ahead of our own. We found nothing fascinating there
and so we left the place to sit on an old stone bench under the shades of the
tree which indeed served the purpose.
Sitting there for an
hour we caught up a little chat amongst each other. My parents were too
concerned about my stay and well being here. I was advised of how to behave,
how to live and at last how to survive being a part of this negligent world.
After a very dumb found
trip to “Lal Bagh”, we decided to get back to the room as my parents were keen
on preparing me for an enlightening professional life going to happen the next
day. The driver even mocked at the place and told me that it was one kind of
place which would never want you to bring your parents with for which certainly
my answer was “Too Late, Brother”.
It was nearly half past
six when we reached the room. We refreshed ourselves up and sat down putting
the documents intact into the file that I am supposed to carry the next day for
the office. Having done with all the necessary arrangements for the next days’ we
proceeded for dinner. Dinner was joined by two of my friends Mukunth and Dinesh
who were of my college and had joined the organization a month before. I took
their advices and inputs that they shared being working here for a month. This
conversation went for about an hour and I called it a day a bit early as the
next day was one crucial day of my life.
September 17th 8:00 AM
Waking
up from a very disturbed sleep, I found that the day is all set for me to enter
the next phase of my life, the PROFESSION. The clock ticked half past seven
when I came out of the bathroom after an obsessed shower which constantly kept
reminded that I am going to leave my parents alone and going to stay a bit away
from them. Despite all these thoughts, I got dressed myself up and was intact
for a successful day ahead. We left the hotel room around 8.30 AM and were
waiting in a bus stop called “THE INNOVATIVE MULTIPLEX” which is a stop away
from where I stayed.
We
were clueless of how to proceed forward to the intended place and that is where
my friend Prasanna came to the rescue. We decided to take an auto to the
office, and on the way Prasanna did all the guidance about the entire stretch
of the road. The office was located at a place called “ECOSPACE”.
