Living in House No. B-57-A in Viiay Nager, Delhi

Every taxi drivers and Rigshaw pullers can locate our house when we tell them to reach us in Vijay Nagar single story near Hanuman temple. The two storied house located in the centre of Vijay Nagar in Delhi, near University of Delhi, where most of the students of University stay rented in the area. The house No. B-57-A is the smallest among the others and we used to compare our house with big buildings around. The two rooms with kitchen and bath room attached house is facilitated with corridors, veranda and terrace. Actually it is nice place to study for students like us but it has many other draw backs, which I would like to mention in this article for my own memories.

If you visit our house, firstly you will encounter the smell of Delhi’s largest drainage which is all most like Wangchu river in Thimphu. The smell of the drainage sometimes spoils the taste of our food when the smell pears into the nose during our meal time. The interesting memory in this house is eating the fullest and being filled with our belly all the time.       

Before our land lord, agreed to facilitate us with cooler and washing machines but it was just a mouth service as we normally notice those Indians saying all those to the new comers. We had the memorable story to share, regarding our stay in this house because we could not sleep at night chasing after every mosquitoes and ants. And we used to have a good sleep in the morning which leads us to miss the classes sometimes. We experienced the heat of summer and cold winter weather of Delhi in this house without having proper mechanisms for modern housing like other houses in Delhi. These are all challenges that we face in this house but we took those challenges as our life experiences and we studied for better life in near future unlike the present one.
Bhutanese people say studying in India is enjoyment and pleasure, but for us, it’s not a cup of tea, we have to light the mid night candle for Delhi University Examinations. As we all know that knowledge being the back born of human being in this competitive world and we should consider sufferings and challenges during the student’s life.
