Present brings the past closer..

"Present brings the past closer" can apply to a lot of things in sundry different ways. For me , it applies to UW Wisconsin Madison where i spent two beautiful years. Those two years i grew as a person phenomenally, transforming from a young adult who hadn't explored the world much and had never stayed away from home into a person who saw the world from a completely novel angle. Among the myriad blissful experiences at the University and the memories connected to different places in the campus, one is particularly peculiar. Wendt Library where i spent many evenings, afternoons & late nights. Sometimes doing management assignments with B & S, sometimes studying VLSI with a lot of scare in the mind (source of fear: The VLSI Professor :-) ) or doing CAD computer assignments till late nights to get the program to work at any cost. Me and B almost used to rush to the library during the spring break to go & reserve the window seat on the 2nd floor as a study table for us. That window study table used to overlook the Camp Randall park and the view used to be gorgeous. In addition to that there used to be rocking chairs with that table. Perfect place to study. We then used to take turns to go to Union South to grab some lunch & keep the table reserved for us. Probably the most amount of time that i spent in Wendt was with my best friend B.
Now living in this new apt, the surrounding area profoundly reminds me of the Wendt. The library right across the Street has a very nice park & a beautiful view from its 2nd floor windows. In addition to that, the study tables in the quiet study area are quite similar to the ones in Wendt. I can not ask for anything better...
