Last Thursday, I had dinner with 3 people who are going to perhaps the best corners in the world to pursue their post-graduation studies. I had along with me Amrita who is going to Royal College of Art, London for her masters in Product Design, Aditya Sawant, who is going to Harvard's Graduate School of Design in Boston for his masters in Urban Design and Revati who is going to TU Delft in Netherlands for her Masters in Architecture.
It was a wierd feeling. While all were talking about their visa woes, packing details, luggage limits, flight routes, staying options, dollars, pounds and euros - we cracked some jokes in between. Some time ago, I thought I would be thinking like this too.
We had some interesting chat. Exhorbitant and expensive dinner, but also a lot of fun. May be such events are for both - forgetting the past, and also realizing that there is something more than what we are doing now, that we have to do. We have to keep trying. And we have to take consolation in what we have already tried. Sometimes doors open. Sometimes, we just have to enjoy the rhythm of the banging. Sometimes, just the knock.
