i have a viva coming up in the afternoon yet here i am writing another piece on aligarh. it would make you wonder if its an obsession with me!well! yes, it is in a way. till now --- im 23--- i've spent almost one third of my life there. my stay there has left an indelible mark on my mind, filled me with loathing for certain people and events (though i do happen to have some very cherished memories which i will carry with me all my life) and set me thinking (and blogging too).one thing for certain, most people @ AMU dont feel that being polite is nice. they believe they own the place lock,stock and barrell. the local population, especially, lives in its small world disconnected from the rest and have a kind of superiority complex about nothing at all.i remember numerous incidents when i felt i was subhuman. it seems unreal but these people have expertise in making u feel so.one particular thing which irritated me to no end was the interns at the medical college. not even graduates but they used to behave as if they had all the experience in the world and us mere mortals were at their mercy.pathetic! to treat your fellow university students that way. i took a strong dislike to them because i often had to visit the hospital emergency ward with one or another of my friends. i was the one who would never refuse to accompany anyone to the hospital.mind you, im not glorifying myself but i know exactly how it feels to fall ill at the hostel and no one around to take care of u.there r countless other incidents which i cannot forget --- the teachers watching your each and every move, the cheap comments which the wearing of jeans would invariably draw, the gossipmongering boys at the dhabas ... these thoughts make me feel sick.
