So we came to the end of the first week of the second year. Quite a week it was. Had hell of a Lot of things to do. Caught up with some movies, some novels, some night walks, some amount of gymming (ya.. this is something u kinda call new resolution, more driven by the purpose to cut some flab), an inauguration session by His Holiness The Dalai Lama the XIV, the T20 World Cup, and a party (oops.. i forgot.. we don't have parties.. we have "get-togethers") to end the week.. Er. did i miss something.. oh yes.. the lectures.. yes. we did have some lectures here and there occasionally, I had 4 in the entire week.. that is 4 whole lectures in 7 days.. man.. i m really tired now..
Well what a week it has been. And it was really a great end to the week. The Grand Celebration of the arrival of PGP2. The DJ started blasting away sometime about 8 or 9 PM. There were hardly some 10 odd guys.. no no.. not partying.. but playing basket in the court..c'mon .. its a basketball court with a newly laid turf.. But then who the hell parties at 9 PM. Is that some time.. Its well into afternoon for some folks.. and frankly, when have parties begun before 12. Or so i thought and felt.
I 'd been to the city for some "fresh air". One more movie(thats the third this week..or the fourth.. i lost count..), one good dinner (missed the khichdi & ice cream though at the mess). Came back by 11PM (thats the deadline, u see). I remember there's a party going on somewhere. Can hear the music. So its started then, I asked somebody. Go check it out dude, was the reply. Lo! There were just about 5 guys.. u guessed rite.. playing basket.. the others apparently got tired. And then there was some noise. wats that ?? Oh yess.. India's playing England tonite.. Bull ****, its a do or die match.. DJ is still playing some shit songs..but who cares.. India must win.. Go India Go !!!
Had a heavy dinner, and so I go for a walk upto the gates with a friend. We have a nice walk and a good talk as we walk. I come back at 1215. Party Scene. DJ doesn't show any signs of improving his choice of songs. Basketball court is empty. Evidently, T20 is keeping everyone glued to the TVs, and away from the DJ.
Maybe Culcom didn't estimate the amount of passion a India England T20 match, do-or-die for India can generate in a country like India, at a place like this, among the batch like ours. So for some reason they chose to take the T20 head-on. Like Sunny Deol's Gadar took on Aamir Khan's Lagaan.. Like SRK's OSO took on Sawariya (eeks..no comparison here). So, one of them had to take a hit, and our Rs. 6k ka DJ had to be the unfortunate one. Well thats hardly any amount for us, for the culcom has a good budget, and in ne case, the batch can always contribute a couple of thousand for ne such damned activities, no worries there.
But Hope I had. India will win the match, and the party will gain some colour. People will "celebrate". Apparently, Indian T20 team had some other plans. They chose to lose in a splendid fashion by a good 3 runs, dampening the spirits (the mood i mean). Time is 115AM. Still a good time to start partying (can't get over this word..).
Wer's the public? The party's yet to begin. DJ is still upto no good, though better than 9PM and 11 PM, and 1215AM. Public has dispersed to their dens. I m back in mine too, and slept too. Next morning, some signs of the "partying" are visible, but just that.. only some.. hardly any rather.. Don't know whether the party ever got started at all. The freshers, for one, would have got some impression about the culture here. Well no matter for them, they still have a couple of years here to get a better picture.
As for the others, as always, it doesn't bother & matter. India lost, is what matters. India, the reigning T20 champs, knocked out before super 8. What nonsense, its a mourning today !
As for me, life goes on. I m on my schedule, done with my jog, and my breakfast, and now with my post. Have a long day ahead (have to start a novel, watch a movie, work out, sleep between lunch and dinner, and ahem.. ya .. no lectures today). So that would be it for now, got to be working now. Take care !!
