November 30:

After a fuck all day yesterday when I felt I was stuck somewhere between a volcano’s erupting mouth and the barrel of a terrorist’s AK 47, today I woke up to realise that for the last month or two I have been living in a pigsty! No… I’m not dreaming or hallucinating… I have seriously been living in a pigsty!!!… Clothes, books, chocolates, food, bottles, gum, locks, pens, cream, paper, posters and every other imaginable piece of trash was heaped, pile upon pile in my room, with a good coating of dust over all of this and still I slept in that room on my bed without ever even opening the windows to let fresh air in! Right now though, I am half-way thorugh on the path towards salvation!

Pretty soon the sty should become hospitable for pretty girls as well! :D

November 28:

It rained today. Yes, it RAINED in November. Also had a Media Organization paper that I still dunno y we were taught. Oh, nearly forgot… Wore a girls top for the first third of the day! (Y?… read on!)

Second day of exams… Visual communication… did not study a single word. Got up in the morning to find I have no notes. By the time I got the notes transferred on2 my laptop, the power went off. My laptop duly followed 2 minutes later. Tried 2 take a bath… no water! By the time I fetched water from the landlord’s time had sped ahead like Michael Schumacher at his peak. Tried 2 go 2 colg and study… nothing happened. The result… an easy exam!…

Today’s fortune – There is no need to study for any examination in MIC!

That night ended up going to Swathi’s, Pavi’s, Sahana’s and Arpana’s house to try and study MO. Pavi was sick – conjunctivitis, fever, body ache – the full deal. Stayed over at these aunties place without their ‘aunty’ of a landlady knowing. That is how I ended up wearing Swathi’s top at night! Went out next morning armed with excuses about when and y I came to their place… none was needed however as aunty didn’t spot me!

I love studying with Swathi. The entertainment she provides while we try to tackle some shitty academics is just mind-blowing! This is what she does at 3:56 PM in the library (yes I even wrote down the time), as we are trying to somehow finish the Magazine Journalism portions…

Afternoons and Swathi normally mean – SLEEP! After finishing 1 out of about 11 sets of notes she decided 2 take a small nap in the common room. So after this she is trying to read the notes while half asleep…

“In photographic terms framing refers to how adequately the picture fills the space available for it: we are not talking here about any CONTRACEPTION for hanging the pic on the wall…”

The original word was ‘contraption’ btw… There is some vintage Swathi reading for u… :D . How much I laughed at that time…

Pavi’s happy birthday (!) and my TOEFL exam in M’lore…

Stayed over at Goutham chettan’s hostel the previous night. TOEFL on the whole was easy but this incident really pissed me off… I am 1 question away from completing the listening section and heading out for a 10 minute break. Just at that moment the mouse stops working… I cannot get it to move… Then the invigilator dude stops my session and transfers me onto the next computer where I have to sit and listen to the boring 3 minute lecture again just to answer 1 qusetion to which I already knw the answer!… PISSING OFF!

Later at night we plan to meet up at 8:30 at Basil to celebrate Pavi’s happy birthday (!)… Shaz and me get there by 8:45 hoping we are not too late… We find that noone has come. 2 minutes later Ram arrives and 15 minutes later Raga… So an informal GS meeting happened before finally at around 9:15 the great madam’s arrived!… It seems that they had slept off!!! Grrr…

November 20:

Swathi and I are coming back from Kerala in the Garib Rath. My ticket was with Swathi and she was only boarding from Ekm so I ended up having 2 take a RS. 227 ticket till there in addition 2 the Rs. 514 she had already taken! GARIB RATH indeed!…

Guys in our compartment got drunk… Swathi and I are sitting at the door (shhh…don’t tel my mom!) when 1 of those guys comes out, takes a looooooong time 2 wash his hands, all th while complaining about us and askin whether we can sit there! As the guy who was standing there and with whom we later ended up talkin said… ‘What the hell is ur problem man?’…

November 9 – 19:

Bored in TVM!

My b’day!

that was sort of embarassing... happy b'day at food court!

At midnight – cake and stuff at naim’s… loved the surprise… not so much the kicks!… (but its hard to say who came off worse… the guys who kicked got their legs screwed thanks 2 my bones!)

Was late for class and got greeted with the b’day song… :D

Yell shoutout in the eve and cake thereafter in common room… They tried 2 play all smart but did they really think they had me fooled???!!!… :D

Dinner at food court… Amazed by the number of ppl who came… thanks to ashwin and every1 for settin tat up!

Then surprise at night in my room (or at least was meant 2 b so!)… Sreya and Gayatri got into my house and got Sunny and all 2 lock it from outside… Sreya called me at arnd 11 and asked me where I was and asked if they culd come over 2 my place… I began 2 smell a rat… I came home expectin them 2 b there but the locked door threw me off track for a moment… then sunny let the cat out by tellin me they were upstairs…:D

So up I went makin as much noice as I culd… opened the door… no noice… steps inside and at that second Gayatri dropped somethin and made some noice! Blunder-fool only she is! :D I went into my room and saw light comin from the kitchen… I peek around the door frame and I see these 2 standin their lookin at each other… They didn’t see me until they turned around and then they (not me) got the fright and surprise of their lives!… :D

But still I loved what they did… Got me a cake, a handmade (long and beautiful) card, chocolates, decorations for my room and a lot of love!… Thanks a lot!

Monica gives me an advanced b’day surprise complete with a cake and candle (sizzling brownie at Saiba!). Anisha and Monica also gave me a tissue paper card which I opened the wrong way and spoilt a bit of the fun but was still lovely! Thanks guys!
