Talking about exams, Anataragni and the winters.

I fail to understand as to what could have kept me away from my blog for so long and that is one thing that's really on my mind at the moment. 

There are plenty of things that I would like to talk about here and the fact that I was away for a some period of time makes that necessary. Talking about exams, they are probably the last thing on earth that I bother about in college, other "activities" never leave me any spare time if you could imagine them (hint: think gtalk!):D. The internals this time were just a passe and never really got the nerves breaking in my body. Diwali got the better of them and the outcome was an "outstanding" performance in the so called exams. This diwali is by far the most cherished diwali in my life where instead of the usual company of family and friends we sat through endless night outs and fighting with Transmission line parameters (thanks Asheesh for the syllabus!), Induction machines and Functional dependencies. The guys got together and had the time of our lives with no shortage of booze(never mind the exams!), sweets or crackers. 

Finishing with exams we were thrown straight into the battle field of Antaragni at IIT-Kanpur. Battling the best creative talents and not to mention the amazing beauty(!!) on show there has always attracted me there. Forget the competition, we had "bird watching" on our minds most of the time and coming back I suffer from what I call the "why didn't I take IIT-JEE more seriously syndrome"!!. The 1st day its fair share of accommodation problem and settling issues, but we were lucky as we got the best place there and the entire floor of the building was occupied by us. The infrastructure there drew collective awe from us all and we were like, where do these guys get the money from and isn't it enough just to have two tennis courts instead of a lavish six!! The rock band-"Jaded Sun" from Ireland(can you believe that!!) blew the crowd apart with its stunning performance and the guitaring was what left me speechless. The fest ended with an encore but not before I had made some "contacts" there(more on them later) and left the place with memories to cherish forever!!

The battle was won but the war continues with our trip to ISM Dhanbad this weekend for the Calcio Cup tournament and that is one thing that I've been looking forward for a while now. 

And I almost forgot the winters here. First day back from Antaragni, and I almost froze to death in my room with no cover(some FB quiz predicted that would die a cold death!), I've all reasons to fear the winters from now on. 

The Almighty will be back soon.
