Something really broke my heart last night...
I lost my birthday wish last night (I already got to ask for it at my early birthday party). I got to make a birthday wish after ages and I lost it even before my birthday!!
But, I'm not writing this post to sulk over that. I'm writing this post because I think I got over it and I wanna tell myself 'Congratulations baby!! You got over it!' for I'm still trying to convince myself!
Anyways the moral of this story is the secret behind my tireless smile..hope for everything, but never expect anything! Simple!

Back in college for semester 3, and trust me, college doesn't feel the same at all. I feel like I just finished a fancy dress show or something. I tell you, compared to first year, second year at NITC feels like heaven!
Anyways I landed just yesterday and classes are yet to start so maybe I'll be changing my statements soon, but for the time being, college never felt so good.

I'm leaving for college in two days, hence my terrible mood lately. But thanks to my dear friends, I had a fantastic day today.
Out of nowhere, they popped up at my place today (with help from my mom and kid brother) to throw me a surprise early birthday party! They really made my day and atleast I wont go back to college sulking over being stranded there on my birthday!! And the best part was that I got to celebrate my birthday with my dearest friends, the only people who kind of know me inside out. This was something I had thought I'd always miss out on because of my college.
All I want to tell them is thank you so much guys, I haven't felt so loved in a long time. You guys took an ordinary day and turned it into something so special!!

I initially started this whole blogging thing from my cell phone (I love my phone; to me its the sexiest thing I own even though it cost me only a fifth of what my laptop did!). But around three months back, the Opera Mini browser on my phone stopped working (due to some dispute between Opera and Vodafone!). And soon after that I came back home so I kind of totally lost interest in blogging, hence my rare posts lately!
But I just discovered that the browser's working again! I'm so so glad because I simply love the internet on my phone, its way better than any broadband or wi-fi although hell costlier!!
Anyways thats all I've gotta say right now and today (July 10) happens to be my phone's b'day ;) so folks, do remember to wish the b'day baby for no phone would probably have meant no blogs for me!

I'm back home for summer break and guess what? I'm actually missing college!
True I hate college and that's HATE in capital letters but now realise that's actually what I am now, that's what my life is all about now and though I hate to admit this, I'm hell proud of being a part of this (bloody) college!!
More than two more months to go, I really wonder what its gonna be like when I get back there; the biggest change will obviously be that we won't be freshers any more and everytime I think about this, I feel strange - for once there will be people who'll be looking up to me!! Or will they??

Musical Nite @ NITC is a phenomenon by itself. So after one year at NITC, I'm gonna point out some salient features of this 'thing' thst happens at certain intervals!
Its held at OAT aka Open Air Theatre. Till before we'd been there, from the description our seniors gave, we'd really wonder what that bloody place would be like. After our first visit, we knew atleast it wasn't bloody! Hey just kidding! Its actually nice, and the best part is that its ours, it belongs to 'us'!
Its actually a terror ground for freshers. My first visit, my seniors made me sit with my back to the stage - though i'm sure they didn't do that deliberately! - but I was too terrified to point that out to them!
Another phenomenon you'll be introduced to at NITC is the 'fish pond'. Either its really called that or it just sounds like that to me! So this 'fish pond'thing is basically the dedication counter where i think you gotta pay too. Its supposed to be a fun thing but I've seen quite a few people fretting over the dedications they recieve!!

My own fish pond story is quite sad. Everytime I've recieve a dedication, the guy'd come running to apologize and say that his friend or senior sent that!
Poor me! I'm yet to recieve a dedication 'straight form the heart'!!
Musical nite obviously means there's gonna be music, which sorta hints there'll be dance too, right? So dance there is, but that's not all. For its NITC and its OAT, even the heavens agree its got to be special. So everytime there's a musical nite, and there's music and there's dance, there's rain! And then the red color from the OAT stands comes off and spoils all our dresses!!
Then comes the most interesting part, because this is totally from my own observation: there are two kinds, better say, categories of people at 'musical nite'. One category is people like me, who go with their friends, groups of girls or guys or maybe both, who go there to chat, dance and basically chill out! The other category of people turn up for their sweethearts! They sit side by side, talking into each other's ears - I don't know if they can really hear each other through all that noise and the rest of us jumping and dancing around them or if they just pretend to be able to, to us and to each other! Some of them appear really sweet but they are a class of their own, and I'm sorry if I hurt anyone by this interpretation of mine but I find it real funny! I'm just rude enough to admit it - I find them hell funny! But you know what? Everyone else thinks this way too, I'm only too blunt to admit it!
The last thing I'd like to say about 'musical nite' is that there's yet to be one I thoroughly enjoyed or where I thought the music was nice, if not all that nice! My apologies to all offended, once again - I realise it takes a lot to put up a 'musical nite' but this is what I feel!

...was the last working day of my first year.
And we had this fancy dress kinda thing - we all wore long skirts to college. I did feel stupid going to college all decked up like that but it was kinda fun; something on my list of wacky things I did in college. All the people who didn't know what was up with us were kind of taken aback but most people were upto some crazy thing or the other today.
Nice day...
