The One and Only

Back in the day…

Again, this post is about my father. When he was 20, he went to Jawaharlal Nehru University. Fast-forward to 2019, someone who studied in the same university won the Nobel Prize for economics. This event made my father take a trip back to his 20s, as he now talks about JNU quite a lot. The man who won the prize also had an interview in front of the university, and my father also saw a video of the hostels. My father is also a great person, and he also might get an interview and chance to go back to JNU because of his popular blog. My father thinks that we might go to his college, St. Xaviers. Since the college is in Kolkata, it would be quite easy. I agree with him on going back to St. Xaviers, since taking trips back into the 1990s is a call for greatness.

For visiting Kolkata, my father had a chance to go back in time. Whilst I was in Teghoria, he had his hair cut at a salon he would go to as a child. We also have some pictures of him in JNU, Delhi, at Mecon Tower.

In 1999, my father joined JNU. We caught a glimpse of his first-year hostel on YouTube, and it brings back what those memories would be even for people who weren’t there. In my mind right now, I can see my father, staring in awe at the huge uni.

Part of this post makes up to nostalgia, but at this same time, reminds you, that by learning, you can accomplish anything, be that a popular blog, or a Nobel Prize (for economics!)
