It’s been ages!!!!!!!!!!

It feels like it’s been so many days since I have blogged. Was not very particularly caught up with anything but still did not find the time to blog. In fact, if anything I should be doing my security analysis project right now. But just don’t feel like doing it. I know I should but I just can’t. :( It’s a Sunday and guess how I started my day. I woke up early in the morning cause I had an interview. The college has FINALLY done something good to prepare us for placements!!!! Anyways, had breakfast early, i.e. at 8:30. It’s early by my standards. Had a good breakfast after ages.. Luckily found the toaster empty and had the privilege of putting butter myself and then having it.. It was a satisfactory feeling. Then rushed back to my room to iron a pair of trousers and shirt. By meticulous planning and implementation of the same (now I am talking like an MBA student :)) I managed to reach my destination on time. Had to wait for the interview to start and in the meantime I got a call from home. Everyone is assembling in kolkata nowadays for a family function. They even have a Ramayan been planned. That is when I miss home the most. :( But, its ok.. In the midst of all this I had forgotten that I have an interview for which I had not prepared at all. My name was called and that brought me back to ICFAI, Hyderabad. Only when I was waiting outside the room that I realized that I was HOPELESSLY out of touch with the whole interview thing. It’s been some time since I had sat down for an interview. I must admit I was a bit anxious about how it would go. But my nerves settled down once I was inside the room. Then I had a GALA time. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and that led to me receiving a good feedback. It only confirmed my faith in my own skills. I am not that bad as I think myself to be. Also confirms my own theory that SPONTANIETY ROCKS.. You just cannot prepare for an interview. As I so famously said, “interview is a process of self discovery”. :)

After came the best part of the day. My good deed of the day (in fact, I guess my good deed in AGES. :)). Dattu and I went to donate blood. It was a nice feeling. People in my campus are chickening out with the excuse that the blood is not made available to the needy and sold away. My point is even if it is sold, someone is still able to use it!!!!! Both Dattu and me have very strong views on this and wanted the whole issue to be cleared. So, while registering for the process, I started firing away questions at the poor female who was doing my registration. The poor female had no clue about where the blood would go. I was giving her a good piece of my mind when someone told me she was our junior and not from the blood bank. Still I enjoyed it. :). Then ultimately got to the process of donating blood. Must say it is a very NICE feeling.

All this time I was still in my formals. I came to the conclusion that I do not wear enough of formal clothes by the amount of comments I got. Everyone was surprised that I was wearing formals.. Big deal guys!!!! I guess it was due to the fact that I was looking decent for a change!!!! One of my female friends even told me that I am looking good. She is such a NICE girl. :)

Since then I have just been procrastinating (my English teacher Ms. Havisham would be proud of me!!!). I know I should sit down with my project but just don’t feel like. In the evening my partner in crime (Dattu) and me went on the terrace. The view was amazing from there. We also went a step further by climbing atop the water tunkies on the terrace. So effectively we were on the 8th floor. The view was MIND BLOWING from there. Will go there more often from now.. Peaceful place, which is a rarity in the campus. After that am writing right now and don’t know what I will do next. Let’s see. I guess will have to study a bit. :( till then the others would also have arrived. Chow.. Hope to write again soon.

I have been told that I write very philosophical stuff. So am trying to change!!!!! I am very happy out here, contrary to the impression people get after reading my blogs. :)

Just for the heck of it…

Ya hoooo…. I finally got hold of Harry Potter’s 6th (or is it 5th??) book... It is the half blooded prince. I luckily tumbled on it at 23:00 hours in the library. I pounced on it and had to hide it so that I could have it issued the next day (they don’t issue books in the night!!). But, I still managed to read 30 odd pages of the book. While reading I realized I had missed one book in between. The link was missing. Rounded off an awesome evening for me. Don’t worry I will take you through it. [:)]

After a perfectly lethargic and weird Sunday, I was looking forward to starting off the week in a better fashion. But, guess what?? That was not to be. I woke up in the morning not feeling too great about life. Had a pathetic breakfast. They served us upma which was looking like shit to me (I am not kidding!!). During my FILLING breakfast, I was wondering what to do the whole day long. I had two lectures in the day. One was IFT and the other one MCIS. I had the noble intention of studying some IFT. But my progress to the library was hampered by me trying to find a carpenter to fix up the latch in my room (two nights before I had woken up in the morning to the WONDERFULL sight of my room’s door wide open!!). I did not find the carpenter cause he was busy in the girls hostel for the past three days (I don’t blame him!! [:)]). Anyways reached the library and tried reading Business Line (screwed up paper!!). Felt very hungry and went down but bumped into the IT people of our college. They took an hour to fix up a small problem with my laptop. Had my lunch at 14:30 hours when half the food was finished (hardly made a difference since the one left was also worth leaving!!).

Then went back to my room and thank god had a good sleep for an hour and a half. I was feeling very ashamed of myself, so, went down to attend the last lecture. Felt a bit better. After that had tea and went to the mandir. Somehow, I was still not feeling too great. I went to the library to study anything I could get hold off. But, again god was with me. I did not find the valuation book I wanted to read. Still, somehow managed to read some decent articles. Then, went for my dinner. Surd had fever and a severe headache. So took her to the doctor. That is when things started getting better. While the doctor was checking her temperature, she had a look on her face which reminded me off a child HAPPILY sucking lollipop. Then the expression changed into that of a doper having marijuana!!! [:)] She had a very content look on her face. After that, I found the Harry Potter (I told you my luck was changing!!). Was on my way to the hostel when I met this dude who has a good collection of movies. Took some movies from him and at 00:30 hours settled down to watch Kill Bill-I. One AWESOME movie. I had heard a lot about the movie and it lived up to the hype. After that things have been better. Had a relatively better Tuesday. Right now, I am sitting in a really STUPID MCIS lecture. Had nothing better to do. So, I am writing.

I spoke to Meeta today. She will be married off in three days. Scary thought!!!!! I hope she has a VERY HAPPY marital life. Wish her all the best. People in the class are giving me really ugly stares. They think I am doing some project!!! So got to go before I am bashed up. Till the next time, CHOW… [:)]
