The Kgp I hadn't seen before

Third week of June , early monsoon and the perfect blend of wet dark bark and fresh new sprouting leaves . With a hundred less heads around me it was still  brimming over with life ~The Kgp I had never seen before . From the late 2 a.m walks to early morning rounds in Tata Sports Complex for the NSO , I thought I had known enough of this place , from the road that connected Nalanda to the ECE Department to the one beyond the TechM , I had walked parallel to the boundary of our mighty campus. Strikingly different was what I came across during my 2 day stay this time.


Had the electric poles disappeared ? Or did they even exist before in the first place ? Did I see a balloon, with a knife attached ,hanging on a wire across the 2.2 , I made rounds of almost daily ? And wasn't that balloon supposedly of some fest I should have seen much much before . If only I wasn't blind folded !








 Some trees looked mystically beautiful .Overrated it may sound , but the branches spread across aesthetically , as if each telling some story and reminding me how our campus was indeed some 60 years old .Something as simple and norm as a gum tree outside the Cryogenic Department aroused interest in me. I had sat under that tree a couple of times before , but it had always been just another tree and not a gum tree.










The most surprising was this piece of art on ground near the Vidhan Chowk . How could I miss this one !








Yes the mighty picture it had been always, and how the small little things got ignored in the way . Sadly ,it was the last few hours of my stay when I realised that I had been seeing what was no less than Invisible to me till now. Nevertheless it was a great feeling , walking on the familiar lines and yet something or the other coming as a surprise .The two days I walked with my eyes open !
