Exile

First post in almost 4.5 months . My first reaction on logging into my WordPress account was going to be “God ! It feels good to be blogging again !” . But guess what it actually was : “Holy crap ! The WordPress dashboard makeover is totally beautiful!!”  Seriously people, those who haven’t seen the new WordPress dashboard are really missing out one of the most beautiful interfaces I’ve ever seen in any website [ Except perhaps apple.com and facebook.com ] 

Coming back to the topic, well the heading explains it all. I was on an exile to, well, my college . Yeah the same old Manipal Institute of Technology. And to sum up my experience in Manipal this time I have only one word – LEGENDARY. Partly coz I watched a lot of How I Met Your Mother this sem [ Waddup bros !! ] and mostly coz I really did learn some useful stuff this time , not like the last time when I totally wasted my time on things even I haven’t got the slightest clue . 

Though the credit for this does not go to my hard work and determination. No siree. It totally goes to the event when I got separated from my section – the I section. For those of you who are less aware of what the I section is and how I got separated from it lemme brief you a little. I section was my section in the 1st year of MIT. Jaha padhai kam aur masti zyada hoti thi  [This a complement , not to be taken in sarcastic manner ] . Section I rocked in the first year, but it got split into two this year. First 75% forming the A section of the 2nd year CSE branch and the latter 25% merging the academic J section guys/gals thus forming the B section of CSE 2nd year. Me belonging to the 25% batch. So as I said earlier, it wasn’t due to my hard work or dedication that I learnt something. It was actually because B section is so … so… SO studious that I think I kinda got infected by the ACADEMIC virus. 

But … there’s still one big BUT… I still took the road less travelled. So when the rest of the B section was working hard on the college curriculum I took the liberty of foraying into different fields. I took part in Techtatva and won a 1st and 2nd prize in Puzzlemania and Graphic Design event [Ankit Bhatia being my teammate in Graphic Design] and won some considerable amount of prize money [High five !! Barnacle style]. Learnt some Photoshop and Python. Joined swimming where I managed to double my previous sem’s laps record of 8 to a respectable 17 laps daily [And am still learning] , learnt tennis a bit but I’m making progress [ I wont deny that its still a piece of cake to defeat me in Tennis , but let's see what next sem has in store for me ]. Oh and I’ve finally STARTED LEARNING guitar [Note the emphasis on 'started learning’. It means that I still can’t play any song and I am just filling space here to make an impression on you]. Some more stuff is there to tell but I am keeping that for later. Its not good to take out all the goodies from the bag at once. 

Moving on to a different topic the latest seasons of Heroes and Big Bang Theory totally got my senses on a high alert. Heroes is becoming more awesome than ever. It’s becoming hard to tell who the heroes are in this season and who all are villains. The episodes Eclipse 1 and 2 were so magnificently written that I was totally baffled when I saw them. Eagerly waiting for the next episode. Big Bang on the other hand deserves the name that it has. Its getting better that F.R.I.E.N.D.S [So of you might say "Nothing gets better than F.R.I.E.N.D.S , but I respectfully disagree , BBT is great ].

The Dark Knight. What do I say about it. Am outta words. Just these words : ” I AM DOWNLOADING IT’S 7.5 GB BLUE RAY VERSION. ”  Haven’t done any other movie before. I seriously wish that they don’t make another sequel of it. It would be a great let down if it turns up like the Spiderman-3, Terminator-3 or Matrix Revolution. 

That’s it for today folks. I have vacations till 11th Jan. I guess I’ll keep posting something or the other this time. This was just a comeback post. Stay tuned for more.
