A walk early in the morning beside the lake is like running a million photographs of nature lovers! The pink lilies floating on water. The many fish so still you might think they died. The herons that suddenly fly over the water creating ripples. The weird fish that flops water everytime it comes to surface and goes in. The effect of having two suns when the sun reflects the fullest on the surface of the water. and many more. It reminded me of the last month in IIT when I used to take morning walks and snaps along the way. (Camera suffering communication problems now) And my walk would invariably end in tea at taramani. Now it's chai at maingate! It's the same kettle on the same fire, the same tea glass, the same tiny shop, but two different places along the Bay of Bengal! Incredible Indiyeah!

A storm was brewing. The wind was swaying me away. The rain was lashing against the upheld umbrella, so strong that I could not hear anything else. And I walked between to lakes that were brimming to overflow. The cry of the frogs was deafening. And the cold was chilling my spine. The darkness was overshadowing me. I was struggling to stay dry, at least my backpack. It contained my laptop. I was on my way to stats terminal quiz 2. Spooky it was man!

Imagine them sitting perfectly and you hit them and scatter them all over. I have a bunch of things to do which I should be doing now or should have done earlier but like they say it is always the last few secs of the race that count and we all abide by that line asn get everything done in the last minute. Mon: I had a quiz in stats last night that I would not want to talk about Tue: I have presentation with a bunch of 11 other people to talk about the movie Gulaal from the point of view of the course 'behavioural sciences'. I hope it goes well. For me its going to be fun. I m acting out a couple of lines - in hindi. Wed: I think we might have a marketing quiz for which we have like a few 100 pgs to mug Thu: Hey I'm free. I thought I had something to submit. Fri: Need to present for 3 mins as part of a group of six people role playing the top management of a company in troubled waters. Sat: A stats terminal quiz awaits me. Not more explanations. Next Monday onwards, I have...

Firstly, http://www.rtination.com/ has been launched today. Have a look. Secondly, I missed the flag hoisting because I was caught in between waiting for my dad (who was visiting me) to turn up, breakfast and the distance to audi. Then I did turn at audi since dad did turn up and we went to watch the culturals. JBS BaroC put up an amazing performance today. (I wasn't part of the show today) Praan Yeh jo des hai tera - Swades Vandemataram - a JBS adaptation Dramatics Cell performed a play. 'Ali Never Dies' written by our Drams cell itself. (I helped out my making a poster) Choreo closed the show with flags waving. Something worthwhile for dad to see while he is around here.

Last Saturday late night, or rather the wee hours of Sunday morning (around 2.30am), I performed for the first time in a band. I never even knew I could like fit into a band and stuff, but I guess I managed :) So I sang this song called 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None the Richer. I 've never heard of this song till I started practising and it is so not my kinda song but then I guess it was my voice kinda song. So it wasn't too bad. :) Bottom line: I performed :) And I loved it! Yeay!! And the rest of our band was just amazing!!!! Out of puppet's madman's compulsions here is a really bad quality video :)

This should have come last weekend but I got caught up. But anyway here goes: Aug 1st. Exactly 4 years ago. I was registered into the B.Tech program at IIT Madras to do my mechanical engineering. I was stepping out of my home. I was just a little scared, a little excited, a lot elated and much more confused 18 year old like everyone else was. July 31st Exactly 4 years after the above incident. I was awarded my degree. And by then I had moved into another institute as confused and as excited and as scared and not so elated. Pretty much nothing changed except I was no longer 18, I was 22. And in the 4 years that passed i picked a lot of friends and a lot more memories. Some good, some bad, some just unforgettable (definitely not ugly). Now, that all of us have moved on to different parts of the world, some working, some studying and some just loitering around somewhere. It would have been my last chance to meet some people or rather most until life with its many twists and turns brings y...
