Day 235: 24th Feb, 2010 - One thing ends, another begins

Wayyyyyyyyyy too many lectures today. Right from morning 9 to evening 6 ... :-(

This was offset by the hysteria that gripped IIM Lucknow mess today - for Sachin's record breaking 200 moment! Starts right from when Dhoni hits a six.. only to be greeted by chants of 'Dhoni.. hai hai' cos the junta didn't want any random sixes - they just wanted the record to be broken. I vividly remember 1st yrs running to the mess after their lectures. All second years having their last exam at that time entered the exam hall 30min late, as they absolutely did not want to miss this moment of history.

Also a very memorable day for a more important reason.. the official farewell for our INDEX seniors. First we gave them a dinner treat at Naush - all of us travelled by a car/cab for the 1st time since our Induction day (mainly 'cos Praveen sold his bike to buy a DSLR (to take pics of .. ahem.. :P)) (nested parentheses are interesting, no?). Pachpan ka dharm bhrasht ho gaya :D with his 'accidental' sip of 'orange juice' :D . And from here it was finally time for the much awaited Tila. Got to hear Praveen's LEGENDARY stories! :D And a lot of other things too. We gave the seniors their gifts..I hope they liked it!

It's funny sometimes how in one small fleeting moment you realise suddenly that things have come a full circle. The journey for our seniors ended at the exact same spot where our journey started. I can sense the way the passion for INDEX has grown over us in this one year and at this moment, I am not sure if I can do justice in guessing the amount of passion that they have for INDEX. Time flies anyways, and very soon, I shall know the answer. 

Three cheers for INDEX! Hip Hip Hurray!
