What a Day it has been !!

 As I sit here on my bed, soaking up the free Wi-Fi at hostel, eating all that I can possibly find in my room and listening to the DJ being played outside(diwali night), I’m reflecting on how happy I am. BUSY, but happy! The day started as usual  with a class at 8 am in the morning( I don't sulk anymore) because 8am classes are now a part of my daily routine. There isn't a day this semester that doesn't starts at 8. The next class was cancelled so I thought to make the most out of it, instead of ideally sitting in the sun or roaming in the college corridors I decided to come back to hostel so that I could give the diyas to my hostel manager, for we had a function tonight, which we thought of providing under ENACTUS( non profit org. and a community of students, leaders & thereby using the power of entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a more sustainable world), that would be officially starting from tomorrow. The idea behind this simple gesture was to eliminate the middle men and directly sell the products of a community of potters that we had found near Patiala.
The rest of the classes went just as usual – making notes which/when(ever) necessary and of course planning for the events for the publicity of ENACTUS for evening.The day ended at 5 and by then most of the things and events had happened as we had hoped them to go. 
We had set up most of our things at cafeteria which is filled with beaming people when the classes gets over. It was so much fun to see the anticipation, pride, happiness, zeal, team-work( with a bit of nagging), laughter amongst us. We got free by 7pm and after discussing about tomorrow's schedule we proceeded to our respective hostels. And it doesn't ends here. A rangoli competition is currently in progress and soon my friends would be here to dance, eat and enjoy...
I'v been on my toes all day literally :D

One Such Day :)

Some August 2K15 8-9 am: after greeting the members of the house and attending to the utmost important morning getting-out-of-bed “tasks”, I ask mom (like I usually do, day after day) “how are the cats?”. "They were asking for you” she says. Couldn't guess the satirical hint in her reply, I cheerily go out to see them. “meow” I say on finding them half- asleep under the cooler stand. They look at me with equitably mix of bewilderment and adorableness ( or disapproval, idk). It strangely occurs to me that cats, dogs and other non homo sapiens never come about saying “hellos & byes” to us. What then makes me (us) do a bowbow or meow seeing them. That must be hilarious and a source of all-sort-of-confusion for them. Taking a mental note of it, I've promised myself that I'll stick to my hello and what do you plan to do for the day, and let them meow and purr for themselves & then humanly code it for some sort of an answer to feed my queries :D 11ish am: What...

Aunty ji :D

It is said, people get wiser as they age. The reason for this is that, unlike the young, the elderly's brains are not really ruled by the chemicals that fuel emotion and impulse, the Dopamine!  So their slower responses really are more thoughtful and 'wiser'. With due respect, there are few who just morph into a wrinkled adolescent as they age! The landlady, who happens to live downstairs, is one such human xD Since the day, I’ve arrived here, there hasn’t been a day where she has failed to make me laugh and surprise me by her miser ways. A little physical description might help you to visualize her better. She’s short, reaches till somewhere near my neck, petite; roams about the house bare feet most of the times, whispers in a voice that’s barely audible- yet she continuously murmurs something; has salt and pepper hair that are always tied in a bun and would be seen poking her nose in almost every chore that goes about in the house. Some early day - Whilst I was...
