LASTING MEMORIES

A 15-day tour to Lumbini was the most memorable moment of my college life. During that period we got to learn practically about the things we used to read in class. It was the last days of MA IInd Year — we had to shop and cook ourselves. Interestingly, we used to compete on who would cook the most delicious food in the group.
