At length.....

Its been aeons since my last post. Taking the blame on myself would mean conceding to my dandiest adversary- "LAZINESS". Its all her fault. I have been putting up a strong fight but she seemed adamant. Nevertheless, I am happy to have vanquished her finally.
Post-durga puja holdays life has been a roller coaster ride. From the excrutiating 7 o' clock classes to Kawde's (a super final year of my wing) Job treat, I have had my share of fun n frustration. Kawde's job treat at GIH was a blast, not just because Kawde boozed for the first time in his life but also because of the presence of a lively bunch of pals-- CFM (C first Mid of RK hall) . We sang and danced like nobody's business. From jungle, jungle baat chali hai, potli wala baba, ducktales to Alif Laila- we simply relived our childhood. Sad that Kawde has been diagnosed with Chicken Pox. Hope he gets out of that catacomb ( read BC ROY Hospital ) as soon as possible, though we have informed him that all the junk( especially his prehistoric PC) in his room will be sold once he kicks the bucket. Looking forward to "Jhapoeing" some of the stuff in his room ;-) "AHEM"
Another thing that kept me busy was the reality series "THE APPRENTICE". For all those folks who havent watched it - " What are you waiting for, Christmas?". The most impressive thing about Donald Trump , (the multi-billionaire who is finding an apprentice for one of his companies) is the way he carries himself. Kudos to his persona and charisma- it will surely strike the flame of your confidence.
This post would be grossly incomplete if I didnt talk about my biggest high post-DP. Yes, it was the ILLUMINATION victory (more importantly ,over RP , the next door rival hostel) . I can never forget the moment when the results were to be announced. One of the GYMKHANA G sec SOC n CULT (from RP hall) was all smiles whilst he stood behind the Judge holding the results. LIGHTNING STRUCK! Junta from my hall started receding. I had an altercation with my friend Imran over this issue. He failed to believe what I told him. Then it all happened. Cant say what it was-our prayers, the hard work put in by the illu workoholics or GOD's grace- we heard the announcement," ILLU second prize - RP hall". I cant put in black and white the ecstacy and euphoria that spread like fire. That was our moment-our very own. I ran to FLIMSY (read Imran) and hugged him tight while he held back his tears- Tears of joy, tears of the faith he had in the hall, tears of the wee hours of the morning he spent working his heart out. KUDOS to all the guys who were instrumental in materialising this dream.

Finally, end-sems arent way off and seems like its time I got back to those books....DAMN! ( for those who dont know, I am a Maggu with a "PATHETIC" paltry CGPA of 9.25 ) hehehehe.....
