Rainak Bazaar was noise, heat, elbows, bargaining, and somehow the exact kind of chaos that still feels like home.
Model Town was where the city slowed down just enough to gossip, stroll, snack, and act like the evening had no deadline.
At the time it felt normal: packed vans, sweaty notebooks, canteen fights, tuition gossip, and racing home before the next plan.
One bat, one taped tennis ball, one brick wall boundary, and enough fighting to make every match feel official.
Everybody says they know the best plate in town, and everybody acts personally insulted when you disagree.
Nobody here eats kulcha quietly. There is always a comparison, a memory, and a strong statement in the middle of the bite.
