MANIPAL

Hello everyone, from MANIPAL - the theme of my next BLOGetry...

MANIPAL is not a city, it's a state of mind

Mostly high, due to the hills and the people

Very scenic, lush greenery, beaches nearby

Pleasant or otherwise humid, mostly pouring…

Literal meaning - mud pond in Kannada

A pond, rather a mighty downpour of - students, money, muddy waters - an educational hub figuratively:

Of students from all over the country and abroad.

Home to MIT, KMC, MAHE and other institutions galore.

For me, MANIPAL is an emotion -

My very first getaway from home on my feet

My brother's Alma Mater - witnesses of his many firsts
My home beyond my home in fact - home to our first pet - a cat Lucy

A city which healed me in some ways if not all;

But then again -

MANIPAL is not a city; it's a state of mind...
