Its been quite some time since my last post; been kinda caught up with college work and stuff. Things are getting sort of stagnant in here now; like I'm getting used to the daily life here except for the occasional shocks we get in class, which is also something I've sort of started expecting...
So things are getting boring again; and tis place is starting to get to me again...
Stagnation

English as a Second Language - Megan Crane

This is what I've been up to all day - decided to do what I love best: reading!
And this was the first thing I found, lying around 'unwanted' in the hostel, labelled 'boring'!!!
But I loved the book, and have been wondering ever since I finished the book: did I like the book because I had nothing else to do or am I that big a nerd that I like any and everything that I read!!

Boredom Prevails...hopelessly!!
Its onam - I guess it is the most important festival in Kerela because its the only one that's celebrated in college, that too separately by each department; especially considering the fact that there is no fresher's or farewell in this college (waaaah!) I'm like totally totally uder the impression that this is probably 'the' festival for these people.
It's also the only thing we get a holiday for!! And most of the students have gone home; I unfortunately would probably have to turn around half-way if I even attempted trying to go home, to reach back college in time!!
So here I am, stuck in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing when everybody's expecting me to be doing something!! Last year, we were like trapped in the hostel for nearly a week (first year was jail, we weren't allowed to go anywhere except to class!), yet we had a pretty good time, playing stupid games, bitching about our seniors, our fantasies etc. etc. This year however, the situation has changed drastically; with most of my friends busy with their own lives and the rest, glued to their laptops all day (another thing totally beyond me); I realize I am again stuck with no life (reminds me of high school, but again there was no time then to get bored!). Hmmm...so I failed to connect yet again!!
Add to that, an extra disastrous first sessionals this semester, and my whole hope that things will sort out here is fading away not so slowly!!

Child of Boredom!!!
Our first sessionals got over on thursday and I'm back to the realisation that this place is actually boring, however much I may try to like it!
So we hit the city today; did some exploring actually, and discovered this place has some cool stores if nothing else (though those stores remain empty most of the time!!).
Final verdict: this place does have some places where it is possible to shop but shopping does not happen to be one of my preferred past-times, so that discovery doesn't make this place any better for me.
Yet, had fun today. And most important of all, got back in time with nobody blocking the national highway today! So no apologosing for having fun! ;)

Show time!!
I had one hell of a day today.
Woke up after nine, yet managed to get some breakfast at the mess! Then back to my room, my roomie and me make coffee and then settle down to study - something totally bizarre.
And then, just the moment I realise we are doing something very unusual, one of my friends bursts in and calls us to meet her sister. We go to meet her, she says - lets go to city, we look at each other for a moment and then, we scream 'Lets Go!!' and burst out laughing!! and thus starts my day.
We watched this new movie called 'Bachna ae haseeno' and I actually enjoyed myself more than I liked the movie for it was totally crazy to go like day two days before our first sessionals! Also, the movie theatre was a big surprise; it wasn't bad at all, atleast much better than what we'd heard! Then, lunch at the mall and back to the bus stop - that's where the real adventure began.
NH-17 (that's where our college is) was closed due to some celebrations and the bus had to take a detour - a narrow and steep road; all the vehicles were lined up for they were passing every crossing one at a time, and we were stranded at the same spot for 90 minutes!
So although we'd started from the city well in time, we reached 30 minutes after the curfew. And we had to write an apology letter because some people, the local people, were celebrating a festival in the middle of a national highway!! No comments on this one, just hope people who read this will realise the irony of it all!

Friday morning blues...
Its Friday, my favorite day of the week('course, only for its the last!)
Wake up late, miss breakfast, trek all the way up to class in the lousy sun(yeah early morning sun in NITC in August - something unimaginable after my first year here!) and then, the 8 o'clock class gets canceled!! Every time I'm late and miss breakfast, class' just got to be canceled - another of Mr.Murphy's laws I guess!!
So here I am at the main CC, writing this post (I came here for the air-conditioning and not really to write a post, just in case you've been wondering!).
So, its a whole month into semester 3, the first sessionals next week (and hence the 'blues' on my favorite day of the week!). Time flew by so fast, we're still settling into the new year, like we rearranged our room yesterday (and a lot of people have come into our room since and decided they entered the wrong room!) and the first sessionals are already here! I feel like I know zilch, but I hopefully will put that feeling away by the end of this weekend.
Anyways its time for the next class now so I had better get going. Have a nice day! ;)
