So, another week of living like a ‘conveyor belt’ goes by, why a conveyor belt, well those are two words I have not heard in a while (somebody had to say them), maybe it has something to do with the infinitely frustrating mechanics paper, come to think of it, I did live like one, I was constantly moving (with a swollen ankle) and my mind was charting an uniform ellipsoidal motion and I was croaking and groaning by thursday. 

However, the week was not all that bad, the usual happened :

1) Mr B. Hasin ditched a teammate (again !!), Harish was the fall guy, well I guess you can not win the Roulette always.

2) Nimish came up with a pun/rant.  

3) The pun/rant was critical, amusing nonetheless.

Bhasin’d(v): slang: left in the lurch by your teammate who joined the team he thought would win, but he lost, which consoles you since you lost too.

4) Kunal won another quiz, alone this time, another addition to his already swollen bounty.

5) I got all the questions in the football section right.

6) I skipped lunch (again !!), therefore, by the time I got home, I was simmering and then boiling violently like tea in a kettle.

So the above was most of Thursday.

7) The week that was, was just another session of sessionals – which started okay with mathematics, peaked at programming and physics and then died an awful death with mechanics  and communication skills.

I botched up a paper I would have aced at home (with 5 tea breaks in between) by getting my calculations wrong again and again and again !!

9) I am sleep deprived, tired and a tad weaker – makes me wonder – is ’sessionals’ or “sessionals one has not studied for beforehand” the root word/sentence for RECOVERY.

The unusual happenings :

1) Mr. B. Hasin and I came second in the quiz - not something beyond us, but also not something I expected.

2) NSIT turned out to be as stingy as my college – (prizes were not that attractive), so maybe it is not just my college, but probably a ‘delhiversal’ phenomenon. 

NOTE: Anyhow the experience was great, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the questions were good, especially the Video and football rounds. Come to think of it, the prizes do not matter at all, the certificate does – which I have.

2) Two months have gone by without a ‘healthy’ dose of cable television courtesy CAS, poor quality signals from Set Top Boxes and high installation charges for Tata Sky.

3) I now have an extremely enlightened perspective on fountains – courtesy Harish Alagappa.

4) I did not listen to The Doors or Pink Floyd for a whole week.

5) This one is the weirdest – Mr. B. Hasin MISSED A QUIZ !! !! !! (Something like a Halley’s Comet incident)

Well that was the week that was, “Light my fire” is playing aloud, “Wish you were here” just finished and I shall now retire to my chambers with my bandaged ankle the daily news-crap-paper and hopefully drift into sweet and imaginative slumber.

Until next time, this is your captain saying – “Goodnight and Godspeed.”
