A Headshot by AK 47

dear blog
after many days of mental preparation, i finally made it to the 9:25 class today. well almost..

it so happenned that those three alarms ringing at my head since 8:40 , coupled with my roomies' curses , made me put off the alarms and get up at 9:15 am. As my cell's stopwatch told me, i got ready in a record time of exactly 7 mins 42 secs. (mind you that included all that daily stuff!!!)

skipping breakfast, i hence began my great journey to my classroom. From DBH, the ECE Dept seems light years away at 9:23 am. On the way, i met two of my classmates, who too were struggling to make it through to that class. On the way, some fellow traveller asked,
" Whose class is it?"
"Its AK-47's", the other fellow traveller replied.
We started running. We all knew that AK 47 is lethal. Moreover, one of my fellow travellers was the college's 'Best Athlete'. So, i had to strive harder to catch up with him.

Taking giant leaps on the slippery road in dense fog(risking our lives..) , we finally reached the classroom ,panting.

"May we come in sir?"
"Yes..." The prof started saying something. Without hearing the whole sentence, we rushed into the classroom.when we were right in the middle of the classroom, he finished his sentence..
"..but you will not get any attendance!"

We wanted to run away , but had to sit down. After all, you cannot walk away on AK 47!!

MORAL OF THE STORY- IF YOU WOKE UP TO SEE 9:15am, THEN JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN.

another day...

dear blog

i sleep a lot. i think i did also tell you this in my previous post. But, today was the height.. I had three classes today, starting at 9:25 am today. well, due to the incessant ringing of thre alarms near me, i got up from bed at 9 am. i wore a jacket and just as i took out my toothbrush from the almirah, some thought( which i can't even remember now, but it had sounded quite convincing at that time..) came to my mind and convinced me to go back to sleep. Then i stood there still for over five mins, pondering over the pros and cons of sleep Vs class. finally, 'sleep' outweighed 'class' and again i was under the covers.

the heat of the blanket had so engulfed my mind that i didn't even set the alarm for any subsequent classes. finally, my long ride of slumber screeched to a halt when my roommates screamed at my face(for nearly 5 mins), after they had returned from their classes at 12pm. Already mad at myself for missing three classes in a row for no rhyme or reason, i skipped lunch.

after that, i went in the royal tutorial of our dear sir- Mr Rao . I was so bored in that class that on returning to my room, i again went to sleep, and got up only to have dinner.

another day in my life has passed, without me making any use of it...

the fateful night..

Its all wrong. I feel sleepy, dizzy and lazy. It should have been night. But its DAY! I have just finished watching the first season of 'How I met your mother' series. The episode are good, but my eyes are bad now. All the letters on this screen seem dizzy as i write them. I feel sleepy, though i don't want to sleep. i sat down to watch HIMYM at night. but now its day. I just went out of my room. Its ALL day. The daylight is hurting my eyes. I just want to stare the thick dense white fog which surrounds my hostel now, till eternity.

The whole hostel is unusually quiet. Is it so everyday like this at 6 am? Except for some stray dogs, there is no movement around me. Everywhere its just fog.

I am starting to feel hungry now. But the mess will provide me food only after 8 am. "I have to keep myself awake for two more hours." This was the last thought which i remember now, at 7 pm. God, I have been asleep for 13 hours straight. 6 am to 7 pm!!

I will have a complete night out again....
