Haven't written in ages, ages I know. I haven't been feeling like writing lately, and now I think I know why.
I started off writing about my feelings and experiences at college, but somewhere along the way, it kinda turned into some special events journal. And then after three years, the special events didn't really appear special anymore.
And then I realized what happened...

So here I am, a few hours away from my major project stage 1 evaluation., and I'm gonna speak exactly what's on my mind...

S7 is kind of over, except for the final showdown tomorrow. The campus is empty like a Sunday afternoon. Five more months of college to go.

I know next to nothing about my major project.  Thank God I got placed before this whole fiasco started!
Ummm I don't really have anything to talk about, nor am I in the mood to make small talk. I'm very irritated, tired and sleep deprived. All I wanna do is somehow make it past noon, tomorrow and then, two weeks of..my last vacation??
Whoa!! That's kinda my only disappointment about starting to work - no more summer breaks, term breaks etc.
And I'm supposed to be working on giving our presentation for tomorrow it's final touches but I so do not feel like it! And I guess to avoid that, I turned to the thing I've been avoiding for quite some time now - writing a post!
Damn I have heardly written at all this semester. It was a pretty boring semester for me, apart from the two week break in-between, but what followed after coming back to college took away whatever little joy we'd managed in those two weeks. Apart from that, there were all the usual events of monsoon semester, for the last time for me.
Starting with Onam -I'm gonna miss the payasam, that's it :P
Then Ganesh chaturathi, lol I'll miss getting the best dress awards at college dance nights I guess ;)
And diwali - college brought a whole new meaning of 'diwali' to me. Each year's been special; in fact, the last year was the least, with all our seniors gone.
Tathva was an unexpected surprise. We had a fire-show, live in our college by a group from the Czech Republic, and without any doubt, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen live.

That's about all the 'fun' we had this semester. The labs and drawing classes totally deprived us of the joys of 'only four theory papers'! Hopefully we'll finally get to take a breath next sem, before we step out into...the world...big, bad or whateer, I don't really kno yet! ;)

I guess I'll sign off for tonight now; gotta finish off all the work for tomorrow. And I promise promise promise I'll post tomorrow bout how everything went :D

I got lucky yet again!! :D

Except for the ones that drop onto my head, I guess I have a pretty good eye for worms and bugs. After all, I spotted this one!

This is what happened to me yesterday..
Sometime during the day, a pilloo (worm) must have jumped onto my hair from some tree or something.
Last night, I was sitting in bed, reading a book and suddenly the worm slid down my hair and onto my shoulder. I thought it must be a big insect and just flicked it. And then I realised it was a worm and that too, had landed on its back on the ground and it was just so yuck!
But that didn't kill my laziness. I finished eating the chocolate I was eating, finished reading the chapter I was reading and only then did I get up to throw that thing outta my room :D

Hello there. Long time again. And no I haven't been lazy. Whoever said final year is cool, my whole week goes in lab records and drawing sheets and weekends go by in the usual boring trips to the city and oh yea lots of just lazing around but not sleeping. So ultimately I still feel sleep-deprived and busy all the time!
So on things that have been up with me, there was our last Ganesh Chaturathi in college last weekend, and it was quite some fun. And oh oh before that was our last Onam too. Damn that was ages ago, now I realise I haven't posted in, well, ages!
And there have been placements. Loads and more.
And awesome weather. Finally the rains are here like first year, the way I like them.
And then there was the student body elections this Sunday, followed by loads of action!
And, I'm a little bored coz of having to spend a hell lot of time just by myself :( Sometimes I wanna get out of here really fast although time does seem to be flying by even faster in final year and hey I just realised, when I get done with this college, there can be no more Confessions@NITC. It's so soon compared to school which took forever to be over, and what am I gonna write about after college! Who'll wanna read about..well, I can't yet imagine what I'm gonna write about after college!

Ahoy folks! I'm back after way more than 30 min though I don't think anyone really missed me here :P
So back to the placement story, as promised..

Anyways I had to recover quickly. There was nothing to lose, as they said. I was almost in a daze and I mostly remember telling them what I didn't know!

Hey hey hey everyone, I know this time I have crossed the limits of laziness and everything else. I have been this lazy! So I gotta fill you in on everything that's been up with me.



Hmm, so I got back to college after a freaking long summer, so long that I didn't even like it anymore!


The placement talk was damn boring and we had to run back at 7 for we still have the curfew :(

And then I had a room to clean and cartons to shift, all by myself. By next morning, my neck pain was back in its full spirit!

Well so that was day one, S7 @ NITC. The major thing that's been up since that day has been 'placements' and I'll write all about it in my next post, which will be up in another half an hour I guess ;)

Hey people!!! LOoooong time, I know. And that's coz...

I have been lazy! Plain and simple!!

It's been a long summer, and like the end of every summer since I got into college, I'm dying to go back and I don't wanna go back!! And if you're from NITC, you had better know what I mean!
Wow, so it is finally final year! Not that it took too long, only three years since it seemed soooo far away.
Man I hated first year like crazy! I hated college and everything else about it!
But maybe the rest of college would not have been the same if first year hadn't been so horrible! And even though it was that horrible, everyone i know wanted to be back for second year by the end of summer. And we have really fond memories from first year we never wanna forget.
Oh I can talk bout memories another time, coz we're talking about the beginning of a new year here; we'll talk about memories next summer. And wow, after a long time, my blogpost sounds anything like 'confessions' :P
So, there's only a week to go. I feel excited. I feel nostalgic. I look forward to it. I miss some things that ain't anymore. I feel nervous, coz we're about to find out what the rest of our lives are gonna be about. I hope this year turns out to be the icing on the cake-the amazing unforgettable life@NITC.
There's still things I don't like about college, but there are other things. Things that make a part of me belong here forever, things that are gonna make memories from these four years last a lifetime.

And hey, I have a new blog. My Dream Journal!

Tired, exhausted, dehydrated yet sweating profusely, hair matted with sweat, he looked up and screamed over the hum of the roaring machine - "1407".
I dropped my (pink barbie princesses) pencil and my lab record and raised my hands in victory, big grin on my face :D And he gave a tired smile.
Thw was our last reading and we had finally conquered Machines Lab, which always looks more like a garage to me!!

And I wondered, am I supposed to feel sad about this getting over?
Coz as far as the trend goes, whenever something comes to an end, people lament and say good things about it, like how much fun and how amazing it was and how much they're gonna miss it, though the world knows how much they hated it when that thing used to be (alive or on, whatever!)

So I was just wondering, what nice thing can I say about this lab?
Did I have a nice time here? Certainly a better time than electronics lab!
And the best part, I never fainted in this lab ;)
Plus we had a really nice water cooler, and I could waste up to ten minutes under the pretext of feeling thirsty. I'm sure others managed more!!

Hmm, I looked behind our table. There were all these huge machines we had never even heard of. I recognized a lathe machine and this weird and huge drilling machine.
Am I curious about them? Am I gonna regret never having to I dunno, getting to look at those big machines?

Naaah! I'm done here. :D
Nothing to miss here. Will be back in a few weeks for the test though, but for now, the 'garage' looks gray and gloomy. Just like a garage!!

 
I realised today, I'm turning into a Google mania of sorts, and that too when I don't even like Google, I mean it's not allowed for I always wanted to end up in Microsoft though that may never happen now and anyways I use Bing most of the time; but all day, I find myself thinking, when the net comes at 2, 'I'm gonna google this and I'm gonna google that' though by the time it's 2, I forget what I had thought about and even if I do remember, I bing it!
But the issue isn't Google or Bing, the issue is since the realization dawned on me, I've been wondering if I'm getting closer to the definition of a freak!
The problem isn't with being a freak, there should be something worth (my definition and notions of worth) being a freak, and Google or even Bing for that matter just ain't those kinda things :P

Thanks to some stupid, uneducated neanderthals, the moment that was meant to be red did indeed turn out to be red, but not the kind of red that fills up your heart with warmth and delight but instead, the kind that fills you with a cold emptiness, pain and terror.
And it's the kind of red that doesn't fade away with time, it's the kind that'll keep coming back to haunt you, and sometimes you want it to keep coming back to haunt you because...because I dunno...
because you feel so helpless maybe, for you know there is nothing you can do, and so many other things...
like because maybe you even feel guilty somewhere for thanking God over and over that you're okay and for the ones who're still okay and then wonder how selfish and shallow you must be to be glad about it and thank God when there are people for whom things will never be the same again, smiles that'll never light up the world again, voices that'll never be heard again..and all those dreams...oh let's not talk about them...

RIP the nine souls who deserved to walk out of that bakery with lovely smiles and memories of a lovely evening and be here with us today,alive just as much as we do

The color of the moment is red; the color of speed and passion; the color of life; and ah yes, the color of love. The wide expanse of emotions the color red arouses in us is indescribable – intense and conflicting. Red also symbolizes anger and violence. Yet it’s about love, the silly teddy holding a silly red heart that says something silly.
And that tiny red hot Honda, speeding along the awesome drive by the sea. Or Ferrari, if that’s your style.
The red crowd screaming for Manchester United, and it still makes one think of David Beckham, it’s all about the color red, the color of passion; it’s about standing for what you believe in.
It's also about every man in the house when Shakira swings to 'Hips Don't Lie'! The color of dreams and fantasies
For the moment, the color of hopes and expectations, in a million hearts around the world...

Something very close to my heart had been missing from college this sem:
It was time for the trees along the Rajpath to go red. The slight hint that it is indeed winter in the northern hemisphere!

I think it usually happened by January here, atleast on the Rajpath!
But this time, it came only after I started missing it; when I thought maybe it wasn't happening this year (I know, impossible, but anything is possible here!) at the end of last week, I realised a few trees were finally getting a red tinge.
And today morning, was like my christmas present:
The Rajpath strewn with dry leaves :)

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

Sorry Ragam, this is one time when Rajpath looks better than when you come!

Once again, can't blame them, I agree its too hot here, plus too painful I guess with the never ending classes in S6, eee but sometimes, it makes me feel like this:
