Alone in a far away land

Vishnu:

… For the past 10 years I have been leading a more or less aloof life moving from one place to another sometimes due to some other person’s will, sometimes out of my ambitions or volitions. Everytime I find myself as an ill-fitting piece of a big social group, most of the times I find myself at the butt of all jokes. I was ostracized in Nagpur because I was a south Indian, I had to struggle between remaining loyal to the gult gang and being in good terms with other friends of mine in Surathkal and even today I remain more or less a misfit in the group at Rice. By the time I managed to somehow juggle my priorities and loyalties well in NITK, time had come to leave the college itself.
