Day 48 - 13th August 2010

Woke up at 930 today which meant I missed the first lecture, got to know later on that half the class was absent for it. Attended the remaining 3 lectures which out of which the PM lecture was pretty interesting. Any class that involves major DCP can never be boring ;-) After classes had to complete some formalities regarding the quiz at NITIE next week. One thing I liked was that apart from getting clearance from the admin we also need to inform the MCSA, this is something that I was not used to during my graduation, where the students were a part of any major decision making process.

It is a friend's birthday tomorrow (today actually since its already 3 in the morning), a few of us went to the city to buy him a gift. In the process I also ended up buying some clothes for myself. Had dinner at subway, which is one of my favourite fast food joints and also got some subs packed for people back in the hostel.Bought some ice cream and pudding on the way back for the birthday celebrations, kept them in the fridge at Chota.

Birthday celebrations in the hostel are a sight to behold. The birthday boy/girl is made to stand at the Palaash courtyard and is first dunked with cold water from the top floor. This is followed by the all time favourite birthday 'bumps', which only boys are subjected to. This is followed by some more dunking by the people who missed it the first time around followed by the cake cutting. The last thing done with the cake is to eat it, every other possible use is found and the
cake is smeared all over the birthday boy/girl's face. There are also certain people who, irrespective of whose birthday it is, are always dunked and it looks like its their birthday as well :-D

The highlight of the day though was the ice cream and pudding eating session a few of us had on the Asoka terrace followed by some extempore entertainment. Also had an excellent photo session and some of the pics have already found their way to facebook :-)

All in all a good day, need to get back to assignments and deadlines tomorrow, but right I have an appointment with my bed and pillow and I donot want to upset them ;-)
