A New Beginning-expectations and surprises!

First of all,Im making a sincere effort to change what seems to be my 'one blog per semester' policy and hopefully this time around there would be more frequent updates.One of the main reasons why I believe that is possible is because a LOT has changed.It's been only three weeks into the semester but still I would cling on to the previous statement with all my life 'cause life has actually changed or atleast a path has been made for some serious change.But before I write on that three week life -changing -path- making journey it would be unfair not to  mention the two and a half months in God's own country spent in ultimate peace.

Well,for starters,the journey home was a memorable one.The ride to the railway station amidst the hailstorm(no kidding),getting completely drenched in the process and spending the whole journey in the company of friends(it was like half the compartment was ours).The hailstorm was more like heaven opening its gates and letting out all the ice which was supposed to be in the juice stalls of our hall when we needed them ,to survive the horrible,humid heat that had Kharagpur(with its already frust junta) in a turmoil.Atleast this was the case with first years as most of them got a feel of what 'HOT' means.Maybe it even got to a stage when people were thankful for the fact that there aren't any  hot girls here to add to the heat (no offence :P).Damn,deviating from the topic.But do people really care what you do at home.Nevertheless,I have decided to fill you up.

Driving license,Munnar trip and Karaikal trip were the highlights of the holidays.Moreover ,got to meet friends   from all the places I have been to since class 5.Some unforgettable moments like 'the tiger that (never)jumped over the bus' and the 7 course 5 star buffet and the trek of a lifetime and the longest 1km walk of our lives(for
Ebi,Achu and me)and the 'and's just keep on coming but these are the first things that came out of the top of my head.
Meanwhile,there were the crucial results of college life which came out within the first week of holidays.Kaunsa Hall? and CG kya he?The answers-.HJB and x.xx  .The CG once again an ordinary one ,less than expected ,however a significant improvement from the previous semester.And the hall,the last one any fachcha would like to go to beacause of all the history and all the hype associated with other halls.The main judging criteria, however, is ' Tempo'(Life over here revolves around this 5 letter word).

Thus,apprehensive about the new hall and a bit sad about the grades I went back to KGP,wondering if life would ever be the same again,if I would ever get to know what it feels like to be a true KGPian,if terms such as hall tempo,GC,funda would hold any relevance in my coming years.

What followed was the answer to all these questions ...
