Testing times...............

                         Yoyo, its test time again....( ok i know thrs nothing to yoyo abt tht, woh aisehi kiya :P). So, as i was saying t2 starts 26th march...... nightmare for most of the second n third yearites actually, considering tht 90% of their papers are open book.... :P. For me n my frnds initially it used to be like- open book test... we get to see the book in test... so liteeeee. After three sems here now its like; open book? waise bhi kuch nahi aane wala... so liteeee    :P.  Moral of the story is as always, whether u study or not, t2 gg..... ( except for the 10p's who always do welll no matter wat... hats off to them for tht).
                    But thinking of tests, i think most bitsians think of similar things..... 
It all starts with long hours in the library,u can see all kinds of people in the lib b4 n during tests (not just the regular couples :P). Any outside person can also predict tht tests r coming up by just taking the look at the number of bags in the library bag room :P. Even our very own uncle sam can predict tht tests r round the corner( ok by uncle sam i meant uncle sam frm mongi :P).
I remember going to mongi the evening b4 mt midsem for a coffee break with a frnd, and uncle sam was like- ' koi xam hai kya kal?' , when we said yes he says ' isiliye, aaj koi aaya nahi ab tak.' 
LOL, bitsians r sooo predictable.......
   Speaking of mongi, it becomes an integral part of life for most people during tests ( it is an integral part of life for many neways :P).  Eating habits get irregular due to all the dedicated studying and most people rely on mongi to bail them out. Same with nite outs, coffee consumption in the entire campus  increases exponentially during this period, again, mongi n nescafe bail people out.....
        When nestle launched maggi, they would never have thought that it would be such a life saver......
All times of the day(night rather) if one walks around the hostel, one will find atleast 10 people making or having maggi in some form.... i think maggi should change their advertisement strategy- 'Raat ke 2 baje bhook lagi hai?? Dont worry, maggi hai na..... ' and maggi should be renamed as - Maggi- the life saver ( waise bhi the ' bas 2 minutes' wala concept has already been changed for us thanks to nescafe, so no harm in trying sth new :P). ( waise according to 'the most fav person on campus' we r not supposed to get hungry at 2am- reasons i will tell later, lambi kahani hai :P)
        The typical schedule during tests includes nite out, thn go n write paper, come back n study for second ppr or sleep( depending on how many pprs in a day), and the cycle repeats again till then end of tests.But honestly all the xam buzz, grp study, late night gossip instead of study(:P) makes it all bearable (n fun actually if u think of it later). Though all the 'other stuff' does reflet on ur marks for sure....
             On a personal front, my ehining increases during this period and 'life suxx, even more thn it usually does ( my frnd knows better :P). 
Neways, its bound to happen thrice everysem , so no point complaining abt it...
better enjoy it, kya pata, fir aisa mauka mile bhi ya nahi.....
time to get back to books....
all the best to everyone...............
lage raho...   :P

Summer Waves 2009

                                              Waves.............. they come,they go..... they take some sand with them,but they leave behind more than they take away......
                                       summer waves this time was something of that sort.......
it started on a hopelessly boring note(the inaugral was boring) but it ended on a high,atleast for me. I didnt get drunk or nething(ob! :P), my parents came for a visit and so I had an amazing time at the end of waves. As i mentioned before i gained a lot. spending time with parents \m/,palolem \m/\m/, panaji\m/, vasco hotel room \m/\m/\m/    :P:P:P.
but more than just beaches or shopping its the time spent with ur loved ones that actually makes it all so important and special.....
i never knew how much i missed my parents until they left me back at the hostel.........
then a friends came visiting from ps2.. funny how going out of the campus for just 3-4 months can change u soo much.....
learnt a lot this waves..
1) u can enever enjoy a fest if u dont have ne job in it
2) feels great to see old friends
3) no matter how best friends u r, it always has a trace of selfish interest
4) jo dikhta hai woh hota nahi
5) indian oceans is a great band
6)there is a limit to everyones patience, no matter how much u take it "lite"
                     and i discovered whole new feelings.................
neways dont feel like typing nemore....
cya....
