stuck in multiple moments

A 10 day hiatus. I guess its been the biggest break ever. It's one of those phases when your mind falls out of rhythm and well... i really don't know why.

News from the village: convocation weekend this. A whole lotta seniors dropping in. A whole lotta treats and a whole lotta booze- a pretty fruitful weekend. The funny feeling that came flooding into my head was that four years back this same place welcomed these guys with banners all over campus. "IIT Kharagpur welcomes successful JEE candidates". Four years down the line it bids them goodbye. The people coming in are guys straight out of school. Blue eyes filled with dreams. Four years down the line the person you see leaving the campus is SUCH a different individual in so many ways. The realization that four/five years of college here makes such a lot of difference seeped into my head in a very big way.

The weekend gave every wing in every hostel their own copy of Scholars' Avenue. The first issue of this semester. Do follow the link provided on the right hand side of this page under the links section. Scholars Avenue is the campus newspaper capturing incidents in kgp-land. For anyone related to the village the paper provides insightful information with regards to happenings in the student community here. For those not related to the village, you are most welcome to browse through the site.

The weekend had two people celebrate a month of magic, one person leave the country for higher education and I for one found solutions to economic problems in the personal sphere.

It rained here today. And after a post lunch match of tt with lance we walked into our top floor wing to be greeted by the overpowering smell of tulsi pata. The dark sky with the wet, green canopy of trees in the foreground looks stunningly beautiful.

This shall be it for the present...
