Strike ONE
Walking to college this morning, I had just stepped outside the LH gates, when it hit me...
Stepping outside the LH gates is an amazing feeling, to me at least.
LH is jail, no matter how many amazing friends I've made in here, coming back to LH after even some of the best days ever of my life ruins my mood. So you can only imagine what a thrilling feeling it must be to step outside those gates, every time!!
The other thing I love about 'outside the LH gate' is that after stepping out, you gotta walk uphill 'round a not so gentle curve (in fact in the beginning of first year, I'd be tired by the time I was past this!!) and the whole time you'll be walking through this what I find really pretty canopy of greenery. And after that, especially around this time of the year, the space on either side of the road is completely overgrown with flowers - pretty, wild and all over the place! This also happens to be the only thing I like about walking back to LH ;)
So what hit me was that it really is gonna be over soon! And the only thing I actually regretted right at that moment was about missing out on the greenery!
And then on the Rajpath, there were the dry leaves strewn all over the place and I realized this was it - our last autumn here!! I've written so much about autumn on Rajpath on this very blog, and yes, I will so miss the sight of the Rajpath going red in this crazy crazy heat!!
Oh my God I have waited for college to get over forever, and now that it is happening, I can't believe I'm actually having these kinda thoughts!!
It's just that there's been such an unbelievable amount of so much squeezed into these last four years, I wish it was possible to save every little moment in a time capsule!!

An Irked State of Mind
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

Worm Eye
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!

The Pilloo Story
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

Not So Cool
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!
