Its birthday again!

Lots of wishes for free. More wishes than last time. My friend list is increasing. I'm growing up. Going out and making more friends this year.

Traveling home for 3 days was not very much fun. It was raining heavily when we somehow managed to reach Kanpur Junction at 1 am. Waiting for the train, standing and sleeping together. Then finally caught a train and reached home 5:30. Three fests together at home - 15th Aug, Rakhi and the birthday. aah! nice time really! But I had to finish an assignment that was to be submitted on18th in the 9 am class. This is the irony of the story. Solving assignments at home on your 22nd birthday! Got on a train at 8:30 with my parents and sis who were going to Delhi. It was exactly 00:00 when train was at Kanpur station. I wished my sis while we moved into 18th Aug., her birthday; and celebrated with ice-cream. I gifted her my laptop. To say it is not good to present used gifts. But do you know what it takes to part with personal things like laptops? Anyways I will try a few days without having a Personal computer of my own. If it helps for better acads. Just in case it does.

Coming back to the campus it was not much different. Slept for 1 whole day and plan to sleep more. And labs this semester really suck! My interest is pathetic when it comes to making lab reports. Just getting through it.

Coming back

Yesterday I was just reminded by a friend that I haven't posted since long time. And rightly this my only second post after coming back to Campus.
So. I came to my second home on 25th July and felt the feel of 4th year. Not final year though (Im in five year program). Third year has been tiring and academically backward. But after the intern experience Im loving IITK like anything. It's best place to live man. The hassle of corporate life is much different from the paradise of college life. I'm sure we all miss it after we leave behind. For the first time I'm happy that I have one extra year for IIT life.

The intern experience was a learning one. Went out, met people, loved them, met bosses, worked from them, hunting for rented house, freaking out for dinners, being hated for being bachelors,.... the list goes on. And there are lot of new things which showed hard realities of life. All that helped in better appreciation of Darwin's theory. Struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. That is popularly quoted in Hindi as aate daal ka bhav. Though all the while it was exciting as well. Sort of adventure. At the same time I was counting down days for the return ticket to home. But you know what; when you long for something more than you should then life teaches you a lesson itself. Remember Wordsworth's The Prelude. When the final day arrived the icing on the cake was we missed the train!

The last day turned out to be adventurous. Then moving in and around railway station. Plans and replans came one after another. But using Internet at the station I finally ended up in booking a flight in the night which drops me at Delhi on the same day just before 12. Thanks to Ankit whose had credit card at disposal. Once bitten twice shy. Time I wanted to be safe so I reached Hyderabad airport 5 hours before the flight. Then boarding on my first passenger plane it was difficult to stay awake after the tiresome day. I was weird out physically but not mentally. My good old friend Rubik's cube (4x4x4 cube) was with me. I used it to stay awake. Then I met this air hostess who had two marked attributes. First, she had one of the cutest smiles and the second- she had seen 4x4x4 cube! People in India hardly know about 3x3x3 rubik's cube and this girl knew about the 4x4x4 one. A rare piece! At last cubing fever is cathing up in India too. As I accomplished the solve she accomplished the smile. :)

And even as all this happen the Sun and the Earth and the Moon went on rotating and as a result the days passed on and once again I find myself scribbling on blogger at 2 a.m.
