Park Street!!

As a kid i always dreamt of flying a plane...or sailing a ship (like dad)...or beating little children as their terrifying teacher...(my mom tells me i always told her i would become a police officer someday)...of all them i turned out to be a sales executive for cafe coffee day (the biggest coffee cafe chain in India). Now wondering as to how i landed here isn't a very long story...i got placed..,through campus recruitments...and where ?? Yeah right! Back to square one...all those extra terrestrial dreams of staying away from this city were tailored down by my yearning to come back to my authentic home town. Each time i wish to run away from its grasp...it pulls me back like the strongest magnet ever. No matter how far i am...no matter how unconscious i become...the city remains alive in my subconscious, inside me.
I enjoy my work...i like the roads that i take every day for my field trips. i love the essence of the day i knew i would be back (dint know it would be so soon)...i love the way the city hustles with life and helps me survive!I have been brought up at the outskirts...yet the heart of the city appeals to me more than my house...Park Street...theres something about it...i can never get enough.
While at Xavier's the 20 mins walk that i took down that street made me fall in love with the everlasting charm it leaves. Known as one of the oldest places in the city it stands apart with the presence of Moulin Rouge ... Trincas...The Park...the apeejay...the family book shop...the giggles...flurry's...T3 Table...and above all St Xavier's College (and a lot more than just these)...they made me come back each time i decided i wanted to go a place that could provide me solace...my comfort zone lay at that zone...i dont know what i could call this...its defninitely more then what i call "attachment".
Today three years down the line...the same roads lead me to a different world all together. I learn business...tactics...lies...and yet i remain the same Kanchi that walked down Park Street to attend the first lecture at 9 : 50 am. Today i walk these roads to a different destination...i take that road on purpose even though i need to walk that extra mile...i still do it ...not to loose weight...but to get the aroma of the street...just like the fresh cup of coffee i promise to everybody.
