sleep eludes me leonard!

i so cannot sleep just before the day i intend to leave town. :(

happened with b'lore. always happens with jamshedpur. i form a sort of bond and it feels sad. as if i am doing some kind of an injustice. hope the place misses me too. the people, they will. mummy and nanna were visibly sad. arat is worse, bechara. he does not yet know how to express. that way, i guess he is like me. and that is certainly not nice :-/

the train is fourteen hours late due to the fog and that makes the goodbye, and hence the incomprehensible atmosphere, even more extended.

i look forward to this Dayalbagh trip and am quite excited about the journey. sahej will pick me up from the station and i plan to spend 24th night at his place- first time ever. 

first time ever might come as a surprise since,well, it is sahej we are talking about. But hilariously, sahej has this whole bad omen thing about close friends staying at his place. apparently,in the past, relationships with friends who stayed over with him at his place have soured over time. 

i do not believe in this omen stuff too much. but that does not mean i wont say a short prayer to make sure one of the few constants in my life maintain their constancy. obviously along with some other constants. :-)

three emoticons already. haha! 

so the thts that.

see ya

storyline. yo!

storyline(CLICK HITHER)

why it is good to be a dog-- yes, even a toy one is fine

A dog has no use for fancy cars...or big homes or designer clothes...a waterlogged stick wud do just fine...a dog never cares whether u're rich or poor...clever or dull...smart or dumb...just give him ur heart and he'll give u his... 
A friend's status message today.. really appealed to me

first one from home

this just had to be written today. i am sort of upbeat with my parents treating me like i have returned alive from a war or something. i feel so at home here :-) ohhh ,wait...

even though i know that  the endless supply of hide-and-seek, the gourmet-coffee (hope u get the pulp fiction reference) and general-lazing-around-with-no-assignment-deadlines-to-meet is only temporary i like to bask in the fun of this fantasyland.

as i write this i realise that i need to confess about this weird habit i have nowadays. i suffix every sentence with a 'yo!'. it makes me sound more wannabe tamil rapper than ever before but still i love the new development. trust me, it has been hard enough typing this note till now without writing a yo!(in the flow as in..)

jamshedpur is a pretty big leap temperature-wise.. around ten degrees or so, in the celsius and i am shivering. the agra trip is gonna take a while getting used to :-) but then lots of things will change in this trip. lots of stuff to get used to. :-/

i watched nick and norah's infinite playlist - just got over with it. not (certainly,not) a movie I usually like . as un-coenish as movies get. but something ineffable about it appealed to me.
nick and norah poster-- especially love the caption(every night has a soundtrack)

so that is that for now. yo!

rebel with a because

exams got over today. First ever of this kind. Sure took a lot out of me. I am hoping I am able to scrape a nice grade in this semester. Of course, I did not study like I would have wanted to do for these few days. But then, after a while your grades don't really matter. Nothing does really.  Obviously I hope and pray for a grade above a 6 pointer (out of 8 ,mind you!). 6 translates to a B grade which translates to a GOOD.(A being very good and S being excellent).
Will be home in less than 48 hours provided naxalites don't do something to my train mid-way. And around Christmas Eve I should be in Agra. Again, provided naxalites don't mess up something in the  way.

One of our profs treated the entire class to dinner at Nesara(the on-campus fine dining thingummy). It was good fun, especially the part where we presented him with a 2K awesome parker pen and he refused.(btw, we still do not know what to do with the gift as the william penn people refused to take it back. My suggestion of burying the pen in front of the main  building was promptly vetoed,sadly).

NExt sem is going to be pretty heavy our seniors tell us. That is sad because I plan to take machine learning or game theory as an elective both of which are killer courses :-/ dekhte hain, about that. 

"Troubles always are ephemeral, only the good part in life is here to stay. YO!"

root three-- not mine... but i love this

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

this is for you and you alone

There is so much to learn from everyone and everything.
just saying...

I have been having assignment submissions and exams pretty much continuously for the past week. All the exams went moderately well and there is an exam on 9th i really want to do well in- probability.
Just two more exams after that and i will be pretty much done with the first sem here.

I am pretty sure I have not worked  like this in my life. It has been a nice run till now. This place makes you realise how much there is to learn if one is willing to. Be it the library, or the general approach of most teachers, or the atmosphere on campus. I have read extensively, and I have savoured every moment of it.

Also a major addition to my repertoire of music collection is the kolaveri song. I despise it completely but it is good to know what people are grooving to once in a while. Exams get over on 12th and I go to Jamshedpur on 13th. I miss my people and really want to catch up. Obviously I cant catch up with all the people i miss. But I do have plans to visit agra too. I miss Dayalbagh. I really do. And I miss you too.
Hope I can make it this time.
