A Herculean Task

Studying. Yes , the original purpose of coming to NITK is the epitome for herculean task( Can you believe it guys , our parents think that their boys have gone to receive education . hahhaha. what they don't know won't hurt them ;) ). OK , Physics cycle has started ,more than 10 days have gone by but hey this is supposed to be the chilled out cycle, not a pain in the arse like The chem cycle( the eg sheets have still been preserved for a nice little burning later ). But the guys in my class have already started romancing with their books and as usual I seem to be losing the plot in the class. Not even 1 word of electronics has gone into my head and dont even talk about physics (* yawn *, zzzzzzz... *snore* ). The plan was to start a little 'light' studying on Saturday( 20/12/08). Simple enough, you would think. But then .....

Lets recount the events of that day . Lets start off with Friday Night because owing to our late sleeping habits we face everday's early hours . Naveen to everyone " chal , chinky(yashasvi) ke room mein movie dekhte hain". We watch Road Trip till 12:30 in the night(saturday morning technically :D) . It was a great movie and all of us had a good time . I come back to my room and see a novel " Midnight's Children" on my table. I found this novel difficult and slow moving until that point but when i picked it up that time, it just became too fucking interesting . And in no time it was 2:30 and i decided to call it a day.

*Sunlight in my eyes* , * some noises* its 9:00 am in the morning , my roomate Mayank is getting ready to go the CCC to watch porn. I let him be and go back to sleep. 10:00 am- i make another attempt at waking up, but darn it i find it difficult to get my big ass of the bed.

10:40- Ladies and gentlemen, i am awake . *clap*, *clap*, *clap*.

I spend some time messaging and at 11:00 am i am off to do my morning rituals. During this time I gather important statistics , the envy of every mathematician . Only 1 in 4 people consider flushing necessary. Sad, I know ! . 11:30- I decide to orkut and spend One and a half to 2 hours on the net . Since its a bit late for the mess for hot food I decide to eat @ Punjabi dhabi and owing to their snail like pace in service (even when you are the only customer) its 2:20 to 2:30 by the time i return to the room. Ok now i can get to studies ,right?? no way in hell. I see "midnights children " on my table. Didn't this book get good last night ?? yes of course, i'll read for some time. Before u know it, its 5:30 in the evening and Sai teja is at my door . Gym time . After fucking with our thigh muscles
in the gym(thanks to the painful side situps which bring tears to my eyes.* sniff *) , we play a good game of basket ball later and its 8:00 by the time i return to the room (after dinner of course), A mountain of clothes wait to be washed and i need to have a bath because at that moment even a skunk would be disgusted with my smell. But out of nowhere my friend from Megahlaya- Biplab visits my room . This was the first time i met him this sem . Biplab is a guy with a colourful personality. u gotta meet him to know how awesome he is. Time flies by like a hawk as i reminisce memories with Bippuu and it is 9:30 in the night. The clothes havent magically gone and washed themselves and i still stink . The washing of the clothes is postponed to sunday morning( It actually happened on Sunday night though, lol) but the much needed bath happens and at 10:00 pm - i am as fresh as a daisy . After a little chit-chatting with naveen, ani, mathur and the rest of the gang(the best pastime) i go back to Midnights's children which has become Imba by now!!( Salman rushdie should be paying me for this kind of marketing , hehe). I sleep thinking" I couldnt study today, too bad, but its allright. Tomorrow is Sunday, its a Holiday . I can study tomorrow . Yes, I will !!!!"

Update- since i am posting this on Thursday i can give u an update. The studying didnt actually start until Tuesday -10:00 pm . who would have predicted that?? lol. At 10:30 My roommate Anurag found me asleep with the book in hand . Oh well.......
