Day 513:18th Feb, 2011

Woke up (pretty late) to find that I needed to give the final touches to the FRA document. Got that done just in time to have some (crappy!) lunch, and then dashed off for the Jack&Jill ppt; only to find the guys walking in a complete hour late :-x . And then break the promise of finishing off the ppt in an hour. (No, the few soaps and lotions that were distributed did NOT compensate!)

Some intensive chest exercises at the gym today. Also spersed with some triceps exercises and a 3km run :D . I can feel my muscles getting tougher now ;-) . Might be a little biased though :-)

Had kutte jaisa bhook and even the dinner at the mess was really sad. Kisaan had gone to play a cricket match for sikander and so poor me had to go all alone to Fauzi. But then, you just need to sit at Fauzi for two minutes and you are sure to get company :D . Had dinner with cyberKGP and my Bridge colleagues, funnily over giving some Fin electives' gyaan to some facchas. Had a marketing session scheduled just after that; attendance wasn't mandatory for me, but I figured I wouldn't be doing anything productive anyways. With that simple logic, I went along. Don't know what I learnt, but I know I didn't lose anything.

The night mess visit that followed suddenly left me with a new brainwave - we get brownie there, heated up, with chocolate sauce. How about buying an ice cream from Guptaji to have some home-made (not so) Sizzling Brownie?! Definitely an idea worth a try I guess!

Went to my INDEX junior Mak's room to collect KungFuPanda's sweatshirt. Also ended up giving a little electives' gyaan to him as well. Poor fellow reminded me of the crossroads I was standing at last year...

I think I need to start locking my room when I leave. (Have I mentioned I (and many others) NEVER lock the door of the room while going out?). Yesterday had the instance of a friend randomly posting a status update from my FB account, regarding the way my name is (mis)spelt. Today, I suddenly saw my USB mouse was missing. My detective instincts told me the suspicion would be on Bala. And then, true to his remarkable style, Bala gave yet another demonstration.

Me: Do you have my mouse?

Bala: No, it's with Kisaan

Anyone reading the above statement would infer Kisaan came and took my mouse. But no, the great Bala came, took my mouse, went to Kisaan's room, gave my mouse to him, and took his mouse. And on my quizzing a little more about this 'arrangement', I was (in his characteristic style) "ordered" to use my "hands" till my mouse is available again :-S . The e-sikander AOE addiction :-S

Anyways, my intentions of sleeping early have gone bust big time. Been randomly reading stuff (as usual). 4.20 am now. Just read a random mail from some committee on campus who (God-knows-why) called someone, and now we all mandatorily will have to attend that. Arghh!!

Day 338: 14th Aug, 2010

One of those days when I had nothing much to do and I sincerely stuck to doing just that.

Sikander - the inter hostel sports meet is ON. Today in fact was the finals of football (H 14 v/s H 1,2,3) and it turned out to be one helluva match!! Went right up till the penalty shoot-out, and H 14 won only when the very last show by the striker hit the outer face of the side of the goalpost and deflected away. Really unfortunate for them.

Day 65: 24th Aug, 2009

Lecture @ 8am. Wake up time: 7.55am!! Never before in my life have I acted with such speed. I usually take around 5 minutes just to move out and brush my teeth, but today, in 5 minutes, I had brushed my teeth, changed, packed my bag (books + laptop!) and run all the way to the PGP block (carrying the heavy heavy bag) with a few seconds to spare! :D

Post classes, spent time on building my CV. That is a huge area of concern. Have been hearing about the importance of building a good CV again and again, but problem is 'good' here is extremely subjective. Anyways, tried to modify and rephrase some sentences. Tried to revamp my work-ex section. Added INDEX Core Committee :)

Btw, we have an informal student DB intranet site called etrigan (don't ask me why!). It has this feature by which the top 5 searched profiles are shown. Ever since committee results are out, all Pcommers are topping the charts! :p Bahut demand hai junta mei :D

Also had Sikander football finals today. My hostel lost to H14 ..! :-( .. sheah! but never mind, time for the other sporting Gods from the hostels to show up! :D

Day 55: 14th Aug, 2009

Totally forgot to update this -> the much spirited SIKANDER is here! Sikander is the interhostel sports tournament that we have - lots of sports where the hostels are pitted against each other. Sikander started off with table tennis - and H4/5/6 (my hostel!) won! But that was quite expected - we have a deadly TT team! Infact the team that came second was routed 3-0 in the final :) . Now we are having football matches played under halogens at night. The ground looks AWESOME in those lights! We also have commentary for those matches - who are more obsessed with describing and kheechofying people rather than concentrating on the game :D . But that plan works out really well.

We had this one fellow who became famous as 'Bhavishya Patwadi' during the game - eg. "abb ball hai Bhavishya ke paas.. par woh vartmaan mei ball kyu nahi rakh paa rahe hai" etc etc. There was this one guy who got a lot of cheering when he stepped into the field. Commentary - "D ke aate hii bahut cheering ho rahi hai.. lagta hai D ke bahut saare fans hai.. correction D ke bahut saare male fans hai.. " :D

Went to play some pool then with 3 other friends from my section. This guy, RG, always claims he plays at an 'average' level and then ends up playing better than most of us! Guess his 'average' needs to be redefined! Anyways, played a little, gossiped a little ;-) and went back to my room at around 2am.

Am also meddling a little with the committee tasks - a little designing stuff this time. That is something I find interesting. Hope to come up with something decent. Final review dates are also out for a couple of committees. Time's running out fast. Very soon, on this side or that...
