Tonight was the tathva '08 cultural night (and yesterday was musical night or maybe vice versa but i don't know for sure and it doesn't matter at all because there is basically no difference between these two concepts at NITC, atleast no tangible one!).
It's been raining lately in here, seems like kind of tryin to make up for all the rain that didn't happen when it was supposed to! So it's been pouring and spoiling evrybody's moods here. Like, so much that day I of tathva, many of the stalls couldn't be put up.
So anyway, chuck that and let's come back to this cultural night I'm talking about. It was at the OAT, of course and I have already talked about it here. So enter like 90 min late, and its like pouring just the way it has been all of tathva. And everyone's seated under umbrellas; I can't come up with a good description of exactly what it was like, but basically, it was a tale of broken umbrellas and wet asses!
Since I wanted neither, we just stood there for sometime (the cultural night had been renamed rain dance @ NITC by then! ;) ), trying to appreciate the music, but sometimes it's really difficult to appreciate things you can't understand at all (I'm referring to malayalam music and us being a long way from it even after more than a year here).
So we set this deadline sort of a thing, 'we'll try just three more songs and if it doesn't get better, we're outta here'. After two songs I was only too glad to be leaving soon but out of nowhere, the third song turned out to be one of my friends' favorites and, to my utter dismay, we were staying.
However slowly the music somehow got better and we have this theory: because we don't understand most of the music and yet we can't afford to get bored there, so whatever the music is, we just dance, for our own entertainment!! So we did just that, and then there was some good music too and ultimately, there finally was a musical night I enjoyed, like truly enjoyed...

Its tathva, our college techfest.
And guess what job I landed: my dream job - playing diner girl!
Lol...if that left you stumped! But tell you what? One of my favorite fantasies is to own a beach cafe, somewhere down in the Latin Americas! So did I just get a step closer to my dream???
Lol...me and my fantasies!!!

The latest thing in my life, rather out of my life: we don't have a fan in our room.
We're living practically on the equator, in the middle of a drought; our room fan wasn't working properly and was making so much noise that the entire floor was complaining, and when we complained about it, they took the fan away and said 'sorry, no supply of fans right now'!!!

And guys, guys, guys....this other page I just came across:


5 Very Cool Things About College

Meeting your BFFs: Because you’re on your own for the first time, the friends you make in college become like a surrogate family. And those bonds tend to be lasting ones.

Not having a curfew: Now that Mom and Dad aren’t waiting up, you can come home pretty much whenever you want...if at all.

Getting a fresh start: College is a clean slate — no one will know you had a nose job or were considered part of the nerd herd in high school. Plus, with so many students with diverse interests, you’ll easily be able to find people who are your type.

Enjoying more free time: Because you have more control over your schedule, you may be able to sleep in a few mornings a week and have Fridays off entirely.

Taking interesting classes: A few core requirements aside, you can choose courses that appeal to you and avoid ones that don’t.

If you ain't here at NITC, you may not see the point why I pit this up here; but if you are, well, just, whatever this is, we're all in this together...

I have been scouring the internet lately, hoping to come across something interesting in this city maybe that nobody in college knows about. There isn't a lot of matter on this city in particular but today I finally came across an article that sort of confirmed my worst fears! Following are some excerpts:

There is not much to see or do in this city.

You can walk along the fairly uninteresting beach here...

It is not safe to walk alone on the beach...

And trust me, these were the most interesting parts of the article! You can check out the page yourself at http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/India-Guide/IndianStates/Kerala/Kozhikode.htm
However, I also came across this page fron the IIM Kozhikode Students' Portal. I must say it's quite optimistic but after nearly a year and a half here, I find it unbelievable. http://iimklive.com/news/news/kozhikode-one-of-the-best-places-to-live-129-1.html

My blog feels dead, like really...I don't even know why I write the posts that I do write, for I can't see why anybody would be interested in reading the stuff that I write. So, am in a sort of a dilemma, between deleting my blog and going on with posting just anything that comes to my mind. Any votes for either are welcome, yet again, how many will actually come across my blog and read this post.
But anyways, do notice the text scrolling to the left of the page; I don't know how that happened but it looks cool ;)

Less than two weeks left for our second sessionals and it's put me in the mood for blogging once again! Today's id so finally, all the restaraunts in town that have remained closed will finally opening, so we finally got somewhere in the city to go (there's nothing else to do in the city). But that doesn't mean we're going! Everyone's just too lazy to even get off their beds (neither have I yet!). After an extended week last week, these two days off feel like the weekend just got displaced by two days ;)
So me finally in a good mood, but as usual, in this place, there's a lack of things to do, so I'm afraid it may not take long for my high spirits to disappear!
Anyways for the time being, since I don't have any plans to get off the bed anytime soon, I'm gonna try giving my blog a (much needed, I think) new look!
