1 sq. ft

"..but SPCQ how are you going to wake up for class if you have a single room.."
The first sentence that my parents uttered when they came to know that I was getting a single room back in my 1st year. I consoled them with lot of ambivalent expressions and dubious plans about how I'm going to make it.
Anyway, finally I made it through without a F*, or any issues what so ever.

Then came 2nd year, not only it meant shifting from one hostel to another, and the good old senior-junior sessions, but also the anxiety of sharing a room with someone, and all the first's of a room sharing experience..soon like always everything got stale and old, and nothing bore its freshness or carried and appeal that it once did..!

Start of third year, and it was spent by envying all the hostel-mates who had single rooms, and hours spent in calculating and devising a perfect plan for seeking a single room by the time I was in fourth year.

It was dawning on us that its about to be fourth year, and all my friends had written their applications with a lot of thought, where as I had randomly scribbled some words and put the important ones in bold and underlined fonts (read :NRI ).

End result:
Voila...Single room, all mine..!

But does it still count when you have two huge cupboards in your room, making the room feel very small..And even when you close your eyes, you get a feeling of the room closing down on you, and a gutt wrenching feel of claustrophobia even though you've never had such issues before?

Well at the end of the day when you want your desired share of silence, space and piece of quiet may be its just a matter of time before the fact of 1 Sq. ft. area room eases in...!

As Nupur says: "Officially single with a single room!"

HAPPY B'DAY "DD"

"...I remember the 1st time we met, it was magic. Your b'day I can never forget..It marks my journey...part of my life which is going to be cherished by me forever, years which shaped me into what I am..Our batch day, your b'day the odds are amazing...Every year entire batch celebrates your b'day..

This year is the year when we are all together for the last time..The last time when we will be celebrating your b'day together..with all the madness..all the themes that we'd ever developed for celebrating your b'day...all the crazy expeditions we'd set for you to discover your gifts..all the madness and the 'bending-into-two' moments and falling off the bed...all the crazy movies and marathons we'd experienced..

This is the year when we'd all be together..the last year when I'd be giving you gifts by hand..Next year its going to be a call and a courier..OH! It's going to be so different and difficult..
STEEL YOURSELF BABES!!

Love you loads..& I know its outrageously sentimental but its all from the heart..& it's all true..."

Requested to be put for you from your DD.......
"Happy Birthday" from me also...!

Rs. 10/ hour

Today when i logged on to my blog..finally..seemed like a million years but apparently was just around a month. I realised my last post was on the 4th of June which isn't really all that long ago, but I guess when surfing isn't free, you don't have an abundance of free time and the freedom to carry out your daily duties at your own will isn't exactly an option..not only does it get reflected on your life but also the net (being a blogger) carries a very neat resemblance of the same.
So finally after had got net, not free,(stupid slow GPRS costs Rs.249/month..luckily I've got people to pitch in, moving on....) I guess i can say net doesn't well at least cost me Rs. 10.00/hour but then again anything being 24/7 sure bears its own advantages.

Guess, I finally have the time and peace of mind to surf endlessly and read my fellow bloggers recent posts. Who cares about schedule anymore, the disciplined tamed self of 1.5 months old has gone off to hibernate for another good 2-3 months that is till another need for discipline is felt or any SOS situations crop up.

Welcome back all the endless series, vague and intriguing movies, countless outings, neverending number of heartbreaks & heartaches, those glorious days of discussion of butterflies in one's stomach for crushes, listless sessions of B-A-ching, time and over again buffets, treats, parties,high times, hangovers and looting ones friends of their reminant cash during those never abating sessions of bankruptcy which seem to outlive our college stay, and last but not the least doing one night stands...for preparation of exams ( Hello!!! what were you thinking??!!! ;) ) and I almost forgot PLACEMENTS & UNIVERSITIES!!!!

HERE'S TO FINAL YEAR...days which will pass like the wailing storm, but which hopefully I can savor every moment, taking a plunge pretty much blind folded with friends and acquaintances worth knowing almost each and everyone in their own little unique way...Here goes nothing......

CHEERS!!!
