Never realised that until I returned to college and was being referred to as a "third year student".
Its already the fourth running week of my 5th semester so am somewhat late in publishing this post, but oops..to whom am I offering excuses?(I wonder how many people take the pain of reading blogs but still, am writing for myself, after all, so doesnt matter)
Coming back, a few interesting things have already happened in the brief time that's gone by this sem, with their share of twists and turns...
Planned a trip to St. Mary's Island on 15th Aug(not that I was dying to go there, but am actually sick of making awkward faces when a batchmate asks,"Gee...!!! Not been there even once till now?.. huh.. i think.. as if it was a promotion criteria to third yr...), which eventually turned out to be the seemingly worst time to go there, as the ferry service to the island from Malpe beach is out of service during these monsoon months.
Still, had some sort of enjoyment at Malpe beach itself and I could make out from everyone's face that however hard we tried to enjoy, it just wouldnt work out.Still, after fooling around in water for a while and doing our familiar "chick-surfing" act around the beach(which wasn't too fruitful either), we put an end to the thoughtless splashing in water.... but hey, just recalled, seeing our very own Tiwari trying to learn swimming in water still inspires a dose of laughter....
Anyways, we didnt give up and geared up for yet another "outing" on the saturday that followed, this time it was APS's idea, to watch "chak de india", which he claimed was running at the nearby theatre in Udupi.The same set of people ventured out, followed by a chain of unexpected events..... APS and Omveer missing out on the stop where we were to get off the bus, me, Sagar n Tiwari going to the theatre to find out that some kannada movie was running, our trip to big bazar, getting bored, coming back... to end another day on which things went awfully wrong.
Took a break on the next day, i.e. Sunday but couldn't resist planning a trip to Mangalore the next sunday,4 days ago...for the customary ritual of paying at least one-visit-a -sem to adlabs for the Holy purpose of watching "Chak de..." n yes, this time it was surely running there.With the usual information-gathering on the net, we called up, only to know that 4pm show was sold out and we'll have to plan for the next show 7pm..Sagar took the initiative of calling up that place, booked 4 tickets and then, he wasn't sure of the price(whether it was 70 or 170!!!).
And, to make matters worse, he didnt clarify it over the phone, but broadcast his doubts to us later.
"Oh God.... not another mess up...."--I thought.
Eventually we went there, had our share of fun, watched a good movie after a long time and then took a bus at around 1045pm to Udupi.Things were going fine, got an auto from Udupi to our college and then, just as I was beginning to thank rain gods for showing the mercy of not pouring down heavily upon our 4 umbrella-less selfs, something truly bizzare happened..
We reached the K.C. entrance of our college at 00:05 hrs and the guard refused to let our auto in, stating "the rule" which said no vehicles allowed inside the campus after midnight. After wasting our time in arguing with him, we came out of the auto and then it happened!!!
It began pouring down and we were left with no choice but to wait...
Now I'm a firm believer of the rule,"chances of rain depreciate exponentially with the event of a person carrying an umbrella....and whats worse...the converse of this statement is true!!!"
Attended a seminar a while back by Dr. Raj Rodriguez and he quoted Paulo Coelho's quote," When you dream about something,the entire Universe conspires to get you there".Applying that to my situation, I wonder if the negative of that sentence works out better for me....
That's all for now,as i've got some LAB WORK to do for tomorrow(notice the capital letters if you havent already)
