Well thats how my day goes here at home during these winter vacations. Everday seems rosy and I wake up without bothering about my next class or the pending CASDD assignment. I eat till I get bored or tired of chewing and have the option of indulging myself in "Tom and Jerry" all day. I seriously think my mom should be called on some special deputation to our IIT mess to teach the cooks there a thing or two about cooking.
Its cold here, but even thats enjoyable compared to Chennai weather.
Last week we(including my two friends) went to a movie "Kabul Express". There were a total of 15 people in the hall, including the three of us. The theatre was in its last stages of ultimate breakdown,plaster peeling off walls, seats almost rotten and cushions eaten away by rats. More than once, I looked towards the ceiling to make sure that it doesn't come too close to our heads, following the diktats of gravity what if it suudenly decided the torture and humiliation of neglect too much to bear. I enjoyed the movie, though the dialogues were barely audible through the decrepit speakers. I was home, and I was with friends. Nothing else was worth bothering about.
On our way back we went to the IG park, sort of a landmark of this small town. We enjoyed the newly installed musical fountain, though I wished we could dance to the foot tapping music.
My culinary adventures are someting I shall miss sorely back at the insti. Consider my adventures since today evening, strictly in chronological order-
Gajar ka Halwa, by mom
Samosa Chat at NAC market, koel nagar,
Gupchup(some call it Golgappa, Panipuri etc...) , at NAC ,
Carrot cake by mom
and I'm still awaiting my dinner :)

Lost it during the Shaastra, and this was in addition to the following things that I had already lost in the past few days-
my bag which was my only means of transporting all that was unwanted in my room to the classrooms everyday
my cellphone- this one was run down by a bus(not joking)- our insti bus.
my watch
another cellphone- don't ask me how.
And I have even lost count of all the things I have lost.
Well, coming back to the case of the lost mess card, its worthwhile mentioning that it also contained a new coupon booklet worth 200 bucks of extras. To top it up, I lost my mess registration password also. But relieved, I was on seeing a link "Forgot passsword? click here" on the mess registration homepage. Relief turned to dismay on getting the the following message on following the link " A most proper and honourable thing you have done. Now contact the HAS( Hostel affairs secrtary)."
This is what I sent to the HAS-
A most proper and honourable thing have I done,
Lost my mess card,and my password too gone.
Have some mercy and let me have some fun,
Extras and Lays and Ice-creams I have none.
Please reset my password and fast get it done,
Forever shall I be grateful for this one.
Needless to say, I got back my password and a new mess card to flaunt.
