Its been a while since my last post... Well, quite a few interesting incidents has happened since then... Classes have been more or less irregular with sudden bouts of free days followed by intense schedules... My B'day came and went... Made a fool of myself volunteering to dance along with an Odissi danseuse during a SPIC MACAY event... had a great time dancing the Raas during Navrathri... and a few more other incidents... had made a few entries... but never came round to completing them and so those posts never saw the light of the day...
Coming to the recent past, I've not been having any classes for the past few days... not doing anything constructive though... Have been trying my had at Sudoku, for which I suddenly developed a liking last week... Else, I've been watching Coupling episodes back-2-back...
Friday evening, we went to Sea Queen for dinner... Our original plan was Fortune but due to a wedding reception, their restaurant was fully booked... Anyway, I saw my old college-mate there... Was seeing her after a long time... felt good... By the time we were done with dinner, which saw heated debates on the topic of champagne and the accuracy of wikipedia, it was nearly midnight... Sea Queen is facing the Calicut beach and offers a fantastic view... Before heading back to campus, we went for a long walk on the beach... The sea was pretty rough and feeling the mist rise as the waves lashed onto the rocks was amazing... The dinner was also significant coz me and a close friend of mine made up after a fight which had happened sometime back... It was good to start speaking with him again...
On Saturday, went to NIT swimming pool in the morning.. quite ironic that in the four years that I've studied there, the only instance when I visited the pool was during a treasure hunt... I still did not swim that day... But next time I well... Anyway, the good thing was that we had our lunch from the NIT Canteen that day... I simply love their shell-fish preparation... I used to gorge on those during my engineering days...
We had our Diwali celebrations that evening... The campus looked beautiful, all lit up... Especially the 'circle' near my hostel... The pooja was short for a change... And we had a lot more sweets this time round... The fireworks were a little less grand when compared to last time, but we had great fun nonetheless...
Sunday, was spent watching Coupling and trying to write my autobiography... Not that I'm interested in publishing my life story or anything... It was part of a course Discovering Self and was meant to be more like an introspection... But man, it is really tough... I could muster up just a few pages after sitting for 3 hours straight... Anyway, dropped it the moment I heard that the submission deadline was extended owing to the mid-term exams which starts tomorrow...
And so, I went out again yesterday evening... It was a mini reunion of sorts...We met at the beach... I am a beach person... I can spend hours sitting there, feeling the wind in my hair (which is falling faster than an avalanche) and just staring out into the sea; with the sounds of the gulls and that salty/fishy scent... Just four of us mallu civilians from college... Bino, Akku and Mithun... It was good to meet the guys once again... We talked for quite sometime... Bino has become the numero uno when it came to gossips and info... By the time I returned to campus, it was almost time for dinner...
Resumed watching coupling and studying a bit... Ok, I think I better wind up... Got a big exam tomorrow...
So long then....
