The Good Days

It is 8 30 in the morning and my alarm messed up. And waking up, I realize there is no real use going to college anymore. Lets face it, I can't make it to the 9 o clock attendance and my project work is still incomplete which means I won't be getting the 4 o clock attendance either. So I decide to make the best out of the day.

Ate breakfast for the first time in months. Got back into reading books during the two hour power shut down. But the most productive use of the day was probably watching Scrubs fifth season in full. Twenty 20 minute episodes, time well spent :)

Everyone in college has so many good days like these. Thats the thing about college life. You get to bunk the whole day simply because you don't "feel" like going. And this will probably be one of the things I ll miss the most. Not doing anything when you got work to do.

Chapter 1 : Trick Or Treat

Its June 21,2008 and the birthday of Vishnu Gowthem.

After cutting a huge cake at his house, we went to this place called Tornado for his treat. There must have been at least twenty five people already there waiting for him. I found a few familiar faces here and there, but for the most part it was full of his school friends most of whom I didn't know. What followed next was one the few wtf moments of my college life.

Now when I was told "treat", I imagined people sitting around in a table, eating food and having conversations. Nothing of that sort happened. And for ordering food, I expected people tell separately what they would have. That didn't happen either. At the least I thought we would be sitting and eating. Nope, that didn't happen either :)

Vishnu went to the manager and said "We will have.. Six of this, six of that, four of those blah blah". And as soon as those orders starting coming out, everybody dove straight into the plate. And within seconds, the chicken fried rice disappeared. Every dish lasted only for seconds. And none of them made their way beyond a few feet from the kitchen. I never thought it was possible for six guys to eat a single small pizza at the same time.

There were a few guys like me who had second thoughts on jumping in too. That didn't mean we didn't get anything to eat. The others made sure a few plates were "reserved" for us. So in the end, everyone had their fill. But I guess their way of eating was a lot more fun.

One of the other interesting incident was, one of the guys was making the "badass phone call" to someone. You know, the one where they call someone up, use every swear word they can come up with to make their point. I guess some of you can see the irony behind this.

And oh ya, it was this day that Viswa bought a new slide phone and rued it for nearly an year. All because the shopkeeper gave him wrong information about the cell he actually wanted to buy :D

Awkwardness

Something out of place,
Nothing happy to embrace,
Tranquility replaced,
By a wry face.

Despite all I try,
Can't see eye to eye,
Neither can I pry,
Sigh.

A solution in need,
That is agreed,
Lest things recede,
And sadness be freed.

So give me a clue,
On what to do,
There be things I rue,
But its not time to bid adieu.
