Just consider how terrible the day of your death will be Others will go on speaking, and you will not be able to argue back. Raja Ram Mohun Roy [1772-1833]

I was going home (Delhi) this holi by train and I had many apprehension of how I will be spending my 38 hours (which ultimately got extended by another 2 hrs) on the train with no one to accompany me. But all my apprehension were proved wrong once a spent my first few hours in the train. I met people from the same background( Software engineers), who were going home on holi .They were also working in some or other company in Bangalore and earning there living from this city which had become synonymous to silicon valley of India. One person became a very good friend of mine during the journey and he had come from a small town near jaipur, Rajasthan. He came around the same time when I came to Bangalore. He had no job then. He slogged for 3 months and gave interview for some 10 odd companies and was ultimately selected. Some others also had similar stories to tell. One person had come to Bangalore to enroll his son in a dental college. He was from a small town near Delhi. With IISc and
