Wake me up when 'November' ends

November's here and i'm reporting a little late.The reason-there has been too much going on over here.Where do I start.Well,the highlight after Shaurya was 'The Lost World'-sort of similar to KHOJ.Oh!! sorry haven't told you about that either,have I??KHOJ was a treasure hunt conducted by Azad Hall for facchas(first years).'Lost world' was a hunt for the name for a civilisation hidden in the clues.Basically we were made to run or cycle(as was the case in KHOJ)around the campus looking for clues.The only difference probably was my team sucked in KHOJ whereas in the other we atleast finished the game if not win(the prospects of which are very low since only one team can win:P).Nikhil,chappady(saneesh),abhinav,Govind were my team members.It was a great experience to say the least.

The other societies had their usual quota of weekend programmes.Spring fest officially began with a couple of programmes-a physical theatre (absolutely pathetic)and a stand up comedy by Rivaldo(an IIT Bombay alumni) which I missed.

WTMS'(Western technology music society) annual production was last week.Missed that too .I wanted to go but in the end decided against it since none of my friends were willing and I was a bit lazy too.Turned out to be a great one as is always with things I miss.People still have sprained necks due to vigorous head banging on 'Hard ROCK' :P.

Last weekend had its own moments.Joseph's GPL(Gaand pe laath-cruel college version of birthday bumps) was one to remember ,his birthday actually being a month earlier.He paid the penalty for not informing with a full jug of cold water on a cold november midnight in IIT Kharagpur ,the place where things happen.All this was after a dramatic chase as the target tried to evade us foolishly(I mean where was he thinking of running to,that too from 6 guys),maybe it was the unexpected GPL(no one expects it one month after the bday) that made him go crazy.The treat followed and we retired to our rooms at 3 am.

Sunday belonged to ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers)'s programmes which were overall boring but we had our say in the quiz.Nikhil and Rishab got selected in the prelims and we(Atul,Joseph and me)got a T-shirt for answetring an audience question all thanks to the advancements in technology(in short internet access in cell phones).Ironically we beat them at their own game(technology-the word which precedes the name of everything over here-more on that later).

I missed all classes on Monday.In fact I had only been awake for 2 hours(for lunch)during the whole day.I'm becoming too much sleep-obsessed thesae days,not that I wasn't lazy before.I was never a morning person in the first place but now it has really crossed the line so I resolved to get up early every day.Though,it was treated like all resolutions(with very little will power),the desire was still there so I did an all nighter the next day thanks to a movie marathon,followed it up by the 2.2(.2 run +2 walk){a 2.2 km circle around the campus-ideal for jogging).Also wanted to go to the gym(God knows why I signed up in the gym for 6 am)but by then my head was about to burst,so I went to my room,had a bath,breakfast and slept till noon(again classes missed).This week's an exam marathon -literally an exam every day incuding Sunday for crying out loud.

2 done,4 more to go and the dangerous end sems too.Tomorrow or technically today we've got Mechanics.My good habit of sleeping in the few classes I care to attend seems to have put me in a dangerous situation.

November's killing me

So,today /tonight(whatever 3 am is technically) it seems like Iam doing another all nighter.
