That's Life

That's life, that's what
All the people say.
You are riding high
In April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna

For those of you un-familiar with the local geography of this region, Sarvapriya Vihar is a sort of educational hub of its own. More specifically Kalusarai. All of the best institutes, for preparation for any entrance exam after graduating from school, have a center here. The fact that it is situated bang in front of IIT Delhi, only adds to the motivation factor.

In the midst of all these symbols of growing India, stands another, the IIT flyover. Flyover by day, and well flyover by the night too. Though the meaning of the word flyover, is different for different people.
