Prabh (MicroFiction)

As Prabh entered the university gates on her scooter on the first day of her Masters, she filled her lungs with the sweet breeze and exclaimed, “How amazing my next two years are going to be!” She just realized that the campus was far more interesting than what it seemed when she had come there with her friends for admission.  Prabh was exhilarated –rather amazed at the magnificence of everything –from the landscaping to the departmental parkings; and from the classrooms to the eateries.
