So where were we ?? Yes, we
reached agra cantt. Oh yes ! i forgot to mention one incident before reaching
the agra kent. While most of the class was busy playing antakshari, saad
acquired the position near the driver, so that he could change the songs frequently.
(Though he was very frequent !! None of the song lasted more than a few
seconds..'Showing off'- were the words used by some of our classmates). In
short, he was not doing the job perfectly !! The icing on the cake was the fact
that, he was suddenly transformed into a person, whom we call the exact
opposite of 'impudent'. The playist included 'baby doll main sone ki' and saad
just couldn't play it. Tushar commented," Phat rahi hai uski, main kya
karun", when he returned after having a chat with saad.
Yes, then we reached agra cantt. One of the most eye pleasing moment was
the breakfast properly arranged on the table. (Thanks to the opulent services
of the kent area as later they arranged for lunch too..). Our class just
couldn't bear it. As soon as the general announced," Ok, you can have your
breakfast", it appeared as if he said,"Attack boys and girls".
And we followed him. (We literally attacked the table grabbing a plate each,
though some were longing for more !!) .Then we went for, what we truly came
for. There were three sections namely radar section, optoelectronics and
communication. The entire class was divided into three groups or rather four
groups (shashi, ankur and aqib were seriously lucky that day and they were
treated separately). Now with due respect to all the military members, (I don't
know how to describe),but i was yawning man. Few things were really interesting
but not all. For example jammer was a very unconventional thing according to
me. However the most grouchy part was the fact that students in my group were
framing questions after questions. (What the hell !!). Then after two or three
hours of inexplicable pain in our legs, we finally settled down. (What a relief..). Then after a 'vidai speech', we striked for
taj mahal.
The
main highlight of the trip was our visit to Taj mahal. We strolled our way to
the taj. And constant hooting of "parsidant parsidant" and
"tempo high hai" echoed in the surroundings. (Later i came to know the
aristocracy shown by saad and company. They paid for the ticket of our
professors. 'Kya karen salary milti kahan hai unhe' !! Just a mere 1.2 lakhs
per month). What a mesmerizing structure !! I was visiting it for the first
time. What a creation by shah jahan !! Everything was just perfect about this
structure. My chest expanded as i was happy about the fact that we have
something, besides corruption and scams in india. The photographic session
begin and some were really interested in giving a pose with the foreigners
(especially the female side). Due to shortage of time, our visit to taj mahal
was limited for less than two hours. After admiring the beauty of this
structure, we strolled our way back to the bus. During the return journey most
of the people were sleeping. However, the ttragedy occured with issar. Out of
four sandwiches he brought from home, he got only half or maybe one. (I need
not tell about the rest). I was the last to enter the bus in the morning and first to exit at night. In the end, i
would like to say that a day without electronics, was a day well spent.
By the way "abhi Javed Arif aur kitni marenge" ??
