2nd August 2016, Karur Bus Terminus, Karur, Tamizh Nadu.
Vaibhav was sitting on the seat, window side and slowly gazed the sorrounding. Being a local holiday the bus terminus was quite crowded amidst being a hot noon. The State Transport time keepers were standing in the bus way signalling the bus drivers to start appropriately. The bus conductors were yelling out the routes constantly, tempting the passengers to get in the bus even though the bus was already at twice of its capacity. Dogs and puppies were delighted as they had so much of delicacies awaiting to be discovered in the half eaten biscuit packets that were being thrown.
It was a busy day, but for Vaibhav it was peace. It was the most calm day according to him. It was the day when he decided to think about his life, still clueless of what to be done ahead.
Took out his headphones and played music. Ilayaraja's then classic "Ilayanila" was the first song.
He Smiled and history replayed in his mind.
The High School days, 10th Public results were out and a serious discussion including few arguments and some fights and then a decision was made.
Vaibhav managed to get 81% in his 10th. He faired poorly in Science. A biology lover, but was pathetic at Physics and Chemistry. He hated Physics, merely because he didn't find it interesting. He found 1PM afternoon shows in DD National more interesting than Physics, which were telecasted in Hindi, a language which he only knew the spelling of it, that too in English.
He wanted to do Chartered Accountancy. At that time it was what Engineering was to Science. Therefore enrolled himself for the Commerce group.
