Had a real blast today spending some time in the music room alone with the drums....someone who has never played the drums and has no clue about them has to really enjoy holding those sticks and banging the hell out of the drum set....well i did just that!!...and in the process even learnt some rookie stuff and found an analogy between the drums and the tabla...it's hilarious to see someone playing the drums shouting out tabla "bols" !!
Also spent some time with norman lewis' word power made easy....man tht guy is one hell of a genius...amazing writing style and impeccable use of psychology and etymology really does make even somethin as boring and cumbersome such as learning words really fascinating and enjoyable.
Tried to start studying electrical machines in the library today...but like all first visits to the library of every new "mugging" season...this one too was an absolute fiasco.
Went for dinner with friends to this nice restaurant called waldorf with good chinese food. The restaurant was pretty dimly lit, shabby and village-like...but it still had a certain feel to it which made me like it...will definately go there more often henceforth....funny tht the first time i went there was today...after nearly 4 sems of stay here in kgp.
signing of with something to think about...something my mother had read to me a few years ago..and something so real and unforgettable.
As a rule..man is a fool,
He wants it hot...wen it is cool,
He wants it cool...wen it is hot,
Always wanting...wat is not!!!

Winds of Change!!
After four long months of surviving without a ceiling fan....finally the iit authorities decided to repair my fan!!.....wat a relief...makes my shabby little room suddenly feel like heaven!...
It's only the absence of something that can make u realise it's true value.(pankhe ka fundaa).
Taking nothing away from today's fantastic treat....but i just had to mention the fan first!
Had a boisterous party at punjabi dhaba...a typical village restaurant here in kgp.An awesome cycle ride thru the pleasant cool breeze with friends after a long week full of labs and hectic classes...followed by a frenzied celebration of just being together...all of us after so long! It's evenings like this which we'll cherish thru out our lives....and remind us of the one thing that binds us all....first year in iit.
Through the day just did some routine stuff like guess the word,hearing some rahman songs and reassuring that he is simply the best! Played the keyboard today after 5 days....thts a pretty long gap...felt really nice.
have fallen in love with this song called "we've got tonight" by bob segar...moreover it's video in wonder years with kevin arnold and winnie cooper makes the song even more special!!

Leisure
After a prolonged music season this sem....finally there is some free time!!
Looking back at the past 3 months ...I cannot see myself asking for more...or perhaps mid sems cud have been a little better...but then again wat the hec!!
3 golds out of the 4 events i participated in...after a good ETMS production in sf...and passing CT 7 in actuary more than compensates for the mediocre mid-sem...and then again as always there is always end sem to cover up!(thts optimism for you).
Just feel like home for a few days but the profs here are way too stringent to allow tht...but some interesting( good) and some really disturbing (bad) developments back home are calling out to me!!!
Anyways....basically took the day off today and just spent some leisure time with friends after a stupid medical check up in the morning(yeh!! i dont hv cancer!!). A much needed break from the past few days of rigorous practice and labs.
Have to seriously get back to acads now...some tests coming up..and desperately need to do well in those! and not to forget the great actuary pprs comin up this may!...hehe God help me!
