Prahalad's B'Day

Prahalad had his birthday on 9th. He had slipped away to Berhampur (his hometown) a couple of days before. We decided to give him a surprise. Apurv, Raj, Chandan, Apul and I were in the scheme of things. We left early morning and landed at his place at around 8.30am. Prads was visibly moved by the gesture. We had a lot of fun. The trip to Vairabhi and then the one to Gopalpur were memorable ones. The beach at Gopalpur, though smaller, was a lot cleaner than the one at Puri. It was really amusing to see Chandan run scared of water...something that belied his frame.
How can I not mention the food we had at the bday boy's place. Some treat that was!! ...the best of Marwari cuisine. We were fed to the brim. I had to skip the breakfast and lunch the next day!!

Had a great time!

We, the class of '06 (Electronics n Telecom, KITS), had a picnic last Sunday. It was an event that had to be pushed through sec=veral procedural odds. There was limited participation. But it was undoubtedly the best outing that we had in the last four years. Even the weather changed, perhaps in silent approval of our plans. It was scorching hot the day before. Nobody had expected that it would rain the following day.
The picnic spot, Narayani, was nothing spectacular.It was just the ambience that made the event special. The ambience was due to the wonderful attitude, the enthusiasm and the camaderie of the students. It was quite a revealation too, at least for me. I never knew, for example, that Mr L P Mishra could be so sportive...or that Jeeta could look so stunning in jeans....that Mamta could be so sociable...that Snigdha could dance...that Abantika had a cool attitude...that Apul could be so effuively enthusiastic.....
New bonds were forged, old ones strengthened and at least one that stood corrected.

no more procrastination

I have always wanted to be regular in my blog postings. Somehow I keep putting it off most of the times. There will be no more procrastination.
