The last day of the week always has everyone in high spirits. Had only 3 lectures today, thanks to that got done by 1230. Saw the last part of the India SL test match at the community centre. What made it special apart from India winning the match was that it was a fourth innings chase. Its good fun to watch a match in a group like we did today, hope there are many more matches like this.
The weather has just been deteriorating out here. Whenever there is some free time the rain Gods decide to pay a visit. Thanks to that all plans of playing tennis were washed out. Had a PlaceComm meet in the evening. Some basics about our CV and what to prepare for interviews. After the PlaceComm meet , MCSA met the batch to take some general feedback about issues faced by us. One thing I've noticed about feedback sessions, not just over here but in general, people use it as a platform only to give negative feedback, at times positive feedback can also be given :-)
Sankalp, the theatre group at MICA, kicked off the 2010 season with 3 plays at the audi. My pick of the plays was the one on multiple personality disorder, it was a brilliant concept and had an ending very people could have anticipated. That got done by around midnight, had to come back to my room and prepare a writeup about the opening night for TI. Had plans to go to Chota but the rain ensured that I was confined to the Palaash veranda. Hope the rains dont ruin tomorrow's holiday.

Day 38 - 3rd August 2010
Hurricane Katrina has seems to have paid a visit to Shela and might just apply for permanent residency. On days like this I know what would have been the inspiration for The Beatles to have penned "Here Comes the Sun". Eco and FA were not as soporific as I had anticipated,since people have devised ways of keeping themselves and others awake during lectures. The latest trend is to write the nickname of the person on the flip side of the name tag and put that in front of his/her desk. Another new fad is clicking pictures of people sleeping and tagging them on facebook, one guy even has an entire album dedicated for this. Had a session on writing research papers in the afternoon which was for about one and a half hours. After last week's schedule it felt like bliss to be done by 1 in the afternoon. Finally could manage a nice comfortable siesta!
Played a little tennis in the evening before Katrina decided to pay a visit again. Had to get back in time for the movie screening at 7. Today's movie was a french movie called a love to hide. It was based on how homosexuals were treated by the Nazi regime and how the outlook towards homosexuality is still skewed. One thing that I have realised courtesy CT is that I have a lot of things to read up about! How and when that will happen is something that I am yet to figure out.
Post dinner continued a bit of the CS group assignment which got done by around 1230, the planning stage is down now need to get down to implementing it,which hopefully will start tomorrow.

Day 29 - 25th July 2010
Sunday bloody Sunday :D another night out. This time it was spent dancing in the rain courtesy the freshers party. The dance floor was packed even after sunrise! Was awesome fun. My kerchief dance made its debut at MICA :D A nice way to cap one month at Shela.
Apart from that a relatively relaxed day. Slept in the afternoon to ensure that I would stay up for the entire duration of the party. Its been raining incessantly over here, its either the irritating drizzle or its been pouring heavily. In spite of that we played cricket on the badi court. Its fun playing with a wet tennis ball, its literally impossible to bat, it comes towards you like a scud missile!
Before the freshers party the seniors put up a culnite for us. Lots of MICAn traditions out there also. But the highlight of the show for me was the 'legends on stage' act - an electric guitarist and a drummer played this Shloka. Its amazing how a tune played on an electric guitar sounds so different from the original tune, reminded of the time when I heard national anthem being played on an electric guitar in Bombay, gave me goosebumps.
If this is post seems to be a string of unrelated events or thoughts, please forgive me for that, a night out dancing in the rain and going to sleep at a time when my alarm clock generally rings are the causes :-P
