Day 103 - 17th October 2010

First actual rest day of the term,had been to Adalaj on the previous rest day so it doesn't count, could finally wake up at 12 :-D Had breakfast at Chota and planned to laze around through most of the day. Post lunch read some articles on cricinfo. Mallu,Apu and Muashi came over for some general tp and placement related discussions in the afternoon, it was good fun, we are now extended family ;-) Our discussion went on till 930 in the night, the only reason we split was since we had dandiya on campus. Dandiya was good fun, after trying my hand at Garba and Dandiya(I somehow managed to break two sticks,sorry CulComm!) I gave up and started doing what I know best, the visarjan dance. The DJ also complied by "Apdi Pode" and the likes ;-) Got done by around 1 in the night after which I got back to the room. Have a long week ahead 5 back to back days of full day lectures. Hope to wake up on time tomorrow!

During the course of the day it was brought to my notice that although I have been mentioning Maushi on this blog, she hasn't been formally introduced as yet. So here goes-

Sania Narulkar aka Maushi -

She is called Maushi because she is one of the first Maharashtrians I met on campus, it was during the MICANVAS interviews, when our interview slots were one after the other. In return I am called Kaka :P She is one of the most versatile people in our batch, after having graduated from the best architecture college in the country, she decided to chuck it and get into brand management. She is also one of the core members of 4M - MICA Maharashtra Mitra Mandal :D Her claim to fame was as the choreographer of the 'Babli' dance for our freshers. And yeah the easiest way to make quick money is to partner with her for a quiz :-D

Maushi - sorry for not having introduced you earlier, hope all the 'mhaska' above makes up for it ;-)

Day 72 - 6th September 2010

All our preparation for the Markops presentation resulted in zilch - the prof never asked us to present. Maybe Aila!Markops needs to work on how its brand is perceived :-) Those were the only lectures for the day. Since we have the ID submission coming up in a couple of days, decided to come to the library to start working on it. We have to write an individual diary based on the results of certain personality tests that we gave online. Not very interesting but can't help it.

As per another MICA tradition, the juniors are supposed to throw a party for the seniors before the seniors leave for their rural projects. That party was tonight, so slept for a while in the afternoon and helped in jazzing up Palaash. During the course of decorating Palaash a new committee was formed on campus; 4M - MICA Maharashtra Mitra Mandal, the group of all Maharashtrians and Pseudo Maharashtrians. Our punchline is 'Gheuntak' :-D The structure of the committee and designations will be decided in the due course of time.

The party was good fun, the people from our batch who organized it did a brilliant job. Was up till 7 in the morning, have loads of work to do today but first some shut eye beckons!
