A Weekend at Georgetown University


Perched on a hilltop lies the beautiful Georgetown University. Boasting of a moderate climate throughout the year, it has very artistic buildings that carry a history of its own. And, the river Potomac that runs by the university makes it look more like an ideal residence place than merely a university.
The scene under the key bridge at sunset is something I thought only existed in movies and artists' imagination. Walking on the boardwalk overlooking the mesmerizing sunset view transports one in a world where there is nothing to worry, no traffic rules to follow, no 10 to 5 work to go and no desire to cater to materialistic vanity.
The location of Georgetown University is ideal for innovation, introspection and inquisition. Sandeep Gautam, my friend at Georgetown University tells me this location was chosen to encourage prospective future leaders to think peacefully and prepare to assume leadership positions in the future, nothing short of presidential ones. No wonder, Georgetown produced the very talented, articulate and humanitarian US President Bill Clinton. And, many more presidents and global leaders are budding under the serenic umbrella of Georgetown University.
