Student Exchange - part 1

Hello friends! Since people in India have a tendency to give their opinions on almost anything, I have decided to join in the fun. Also I don’t have much to do other than to scratch my back today in the office, so lets get started.
I am starting for all those who see things in a neutral way and don’t pass on their judgments too quickly, but rather take in the aroma and everything that the world has to offer and act only when necessary. To put it in another context, be a Dhoni not a Sreesanth (aka Ga***u).  
I am recently back from my Student Exchange Program. It’s a feeling amongst the students going on exchange that going in a bunch to a foreign university rather than alone is of merit. Suddenly, people you haven’t spoken to before in college become your true mates. You are kind of married to them, and since gay marriages are legal in India, so it becomes easier.  They may be people you despise in college or won’t let a chance to make a mockery of them, but suddenly you are engulfed in vows and promises to be together throughout the Exchange Program and be each other’s light and what not.
Sentences like “ Bhai tu pehle kyun nhain mila college mein” , “bhai ab hum hamesha contact mein rahenge” , “bhai wapis jaake common party karenge apne friends ke saath” become commonplace, especially in the first week.
And then the first weekend comes. You plan your first trip along with all your new husbands and wives from your home university.  By the end of that trip, you wished you had come alone, or just brought two or three people along with you from your home university rather than this whole bunch “We want to party and also get 12 CGPA dickheads”.
You start to realize what low-life they are. Just to be with a group or have company, they are ready to tear apart their self-esteem if they have any and cling onto you like a leech.
But, ‘Jako rakein saiyan maar sake na koi’. No matter how much they try to spoil the fun, you always find one or two genuine guys (not to mention some girls ) to party along have a blast, quite literally. Since, now I have taken my frustration out about those “12 CGPA dickheads” (well almost, since some has to left for when we reunite in college), lets talk about the good things in life, per se, the European Rail Trip!!!!
This trip was the best vacation of my life. Yes, it was more like a vacation than studying abroad with all the parties, new cities, new experiences and pretty hot French chicks. Wish all my group from IMT could have come along, but I guess Europe can handle only so many ‘mastikhors’.
My boss is on round now, so time to say ‘Au Revoir’!!!

Take care
God Bless all
