Its been a few months since i penned down something here (typed actually. but it doesnt matter does it). Lots has been going on and i've been meaning to blog for ages evrytime filing away in that storage room in my head (which is very cluttered now and an absolute mess). So gotta write down a few things...
The last month of 2007 was one hectic day after another until the 10th of December. Well i got placed that day, at Sasken. And i went to a small trip later and all. Basically when 2008 dawned on me, i had welcomed it with a balance of less than Rs 10 in my cell and a near empty purse. Obviously i didnt get to call ppl up but had to wait to be called to wish them Happy New Year. How i hated those who just sms'ed me... And the next day i had to go to bank to pay my fees for the LAST semester at IIT. When i think about it, i never actually stood in the queue to pay my fees (having 2 uncles in the bank and all) and that day i was a bit lazy maybe to find them so i was in the line for abt 4-5 hrs (well may be i'm exaggerating a bit and it might be closer to 3 hrs).
Then registration and all... etcetera etcetera... and the next week i was reading David Eddings (Belgariad and Mellorean) instead of going to classes... I was so much lost in the books that i even forgot to be online for a few days. And that started the period of me being low key on the net (including Gtalk). For sankranti (or Pongal as u may know it) all my family was going to be gathered here (at KGP) and by all it means a LOT of ppl. And who wd have missed such a rare chance of evry1 getting together. So again priority of classes dropped down, and i was at home with absolutely no care about the classes or anything related to IIT.
When i finally got back, i realized that i had been gone for a bit too long and had to circle around a prof or two to get into the classes. It took some time (not meaning i was worried or anything) and all the while i was still offline on net, offline on DC++, stacked up on animes (what was i doing then...???). Oh nearly forgot, there was a SF (Spring fest for those who dont know) in between when i tried to catch up with all the stacked up episodes. Oh i did go to that Sukhwinder's show on star night and all but Sf wasnt that much a success this year thanks to the abundance of water evrywhere (the theme this year was related to ocean or smthing i think and it rained for 2 of the 4 days). Saw HAMLET - a spoof by EVAM and it was absolutely wonderful. and of corz Hasya Kavi Sammelan was excellent as always.
As SF ended, it KSHITIJ this weekend. 3 days are over actually. Well Kshitij is actually way cooler than SF, so now way am i comparing them. We had a guest lecture by Astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss (which i did see but in a strange manner. dont ask.) An interesting lecture by founder of Wikipedia - Jimmy donal wales. And the spectacle of this kshitij (till now) Pyromania (brought from Israel). Today was demonstration of some cool projects (inventions) like Globe 4D, UltraOrb and really absolutely cool Robots by tomakato takahashi from Kyoto University. There still a magic show by Jason Latimer tomorrow, and lots of workshops on aeromodelling, cryptology, rocketry etc... going on.
So this was like a brief summary of this month of january, 2008. The first month of my last semester at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
I still have lots and lots to write about. but will put them under a separate topic. This ones a summary and lets just keep it just that.
Bye then.
P.S. - My Gtalk is still off. So is my DC++. Finished with stacked up animes. (started downloading lotsa new ones). Watching lots of Romantic Comedies (movies, English) at the moment. I'll be back within 24 hrs hopefully.
*sigh* I'm too lazy for post formatting.
