Time to leave

9th May 08

A journey called College life @IIT is over. People were excited for new life as well as were sad coz hostel life ended. There was a heavy environment at hostel. After being done with final project presentation on 7th lots of people left the hostel by now, Binnu and Bach left yesterday, Montu today, and I’m sitting in my train.

I was supposed to leave yesterday but as Sia was leaving today so I postponed my program by a day with some lame excuse. I’m now sitting in my train waiting for Sia to turn up so that we can start our journey. She is also going home by train. I didn’t understand why she decided to have 2 and half days in train when she can easily take a 2 and half hr flight to Chennai and then go to her home from there.

Neways the day I got that she had 9th May’s ticket I too booked a ticket for the same train and luckily we got adjacent berths. And she is here with her uncle and 7 yr old cousin. She said silent “hi” to me with a smile when her uncle was busy with her luggage, might be her cousin caught us but he was too young to pay any attention. hehehe.

Now I’m just waiting for her uncle to go (perhaps she too ;) ). And he is leaving, and now m closing you dear diary, next entry may be in couple of days whenever I will have time :).

Till then bbye.

Back to hostel

24th March 2008

A wonderful trip, there at Manali we met a travel agent and booked some adventure sports tour for us. On second day of our trip we went the Gulaba, luckily there was a good snowfall previous night so Gulaba was lush white. There we tried to ski without falling but we weren’t able to. We just happened to fall off after every few seconds or moving a few feet. There we enjoyed a lot by skiing, sliding and rolling on the snow, throwing snow balls at each other.

Next day we decided to go for some other sports like Rock Climbing, Rappelling, and River Crossing via rope. There were a few nervous moments like the one during rappelling when we were on the edge of rock and have to descend, or the one when during river crossing the rope begin to tremble.

For the last day we planned to go for Rafting, but it got canceled as of snowfall in low lying areas like Kullu and Manali.

That’s how our trip ended and only thing that we missed upon was Paragliding which was too expensive and rafting which didn’t happened due to bad weather.

Time for a trip with friends

20th March 2008,

After tiring days of managing regular classes, final project, the tests and interviews for the job it’s now time to relax, to relax with friends on trip to Manali. It’s our mid semester break, and along with three other friends I’m in Manali. After about 16 hrs of traveling we reached Manali at around 2 pm, went to hotel, rested for a while, got ready, roamed around in market, and did some local sightseeing and visited Hidimba Temple.

Got the job

21st Feb

Finally I got the job with a KPO in NCR

WOW!! A Double celebration day, happy moment that comes exactly on one of my best friend Binn’s B’day. It’s going to be a party night, tonight. So relaxed, as I was only person left to get placed in my friend circle and now our tentative trip during coming mid-sem break is back on table. Earlier I was so nervous that for our tentative trip I put forth a condition that if I stay jobless by then I won’t go.

All evening I tried calling Sia, but was unable to reach as of some network problems. Now friends are banging on the door, so it’s time to go and celebrate.

Back to the hostel

3rd Jan

Back to the hostel and job interviews started again. By now almost 20% of our batch got placed, and now number of bigshot offerings are depleting fast, most of us are getting anxious about the job but still we ‘jobless’ are hopeful that we’ll get a good offer and on time.

Finally we met...

1st Jan 2008

Yesterday in evening I called her and told her that we can meet today and decided to meet at Bus Stand at 11. It was quite a weird experience for me as for the first time I was going to meet a girl in person. Although I was a little bit comfortable as I know her, although we talked a lot but still I had some Goosebumps about how this will turn out. Neways I reached there at 10:55 and waited for her. She came sharp at 11 and we met. Finally!!!!

Finally we met for the first time on New Year’s Day and hoping to meet her more often. From bus stand we directly went to watch “GHAJINI”. It was a good bollywood version of Memento, with simplified plot, a love story, a public figure villain with many punks, special effects and bollywood tadka of songs and dance sequences.

After watching the movie we went out to have had some food at Mc D’s as it was only familiar food outlet in the mall (except Pizza Hut). There at Mc D we sat for almost a couple of hours, chit-chatting while we had a couple of burgers, some fries and soft drinks. Later we realized that one of the housekeeping staff was continuously staring at us whenever she came around so finally we left.....

After moving out from Mc D we did some shopping and ended up buying a jean for her and a sweatshirt for me. By now it was almost evening and it was time to drop her back to her place. On our way back we stopped by an Ice Cream parlor where shared a Triple Sunday Ice-cream, and this is how our special day ended.

WOW!!! What a day!!!!! Initially in morning when we first met I found her a little bit uncomfortable, but as the day passed specially after the movie she became more and more comfortable..... and by the end of day we didn’t even realized how our ran away in Mc D and while shopping……

WOW!!! A perfect start to new year....

No luck with placement yet

30th Dec 2007

No luck with placement yet. Today I am going to Jaipur to celebrate New Year with bhaiya, bhabhi and their one month old baby Avni, as no companies for me during next 3 days. Next test/interview is scheduled on 3rd Jan. I also called Sia and informed her about my Jaipur trip and asked for any possibilities for us to meet. She was excited after hearing about the possibility but at the same time I just told her to stay calm as of our past missed chances and even I was not sure if I will take time out to meet her or not.

But that’s from tomorrow, today almost everyone is nervous, having goose bumps and is eagerly waiting to get placed ASAP so that he/she can relax, stay calm in this anxious situation, can celebrate their selection…
