After i got placed it was party time through out the semester.I have lost count of how many treats we had over the course of next 3 months..Every day we will get some bakraa, we would butcher him and then the bakraa will give us the treat..Every alternate day we were going to some restaurant in the city..So much so that the restaurant guys had started recognizing us..Finally my time had come,when i could do whatever i liked..I asked myself what i liked the most..And the first thing that came to my mind was movies..Boy over the course of the coming months,i saw a hell lot of movies,as if that was the only motive of my life now..I made it a plan to watch at least three movies everyday..In between i also watched some sitcoms..The ones that really attracted me were - "The Wonder Years" and "How i met your mother??"..Boy i just love watching movies and sitcoms!!Meanwhile i had also started participating in some of the activities in college...
**CRY CLASSES**
After much persuasion by Mayank and Kastu i finally agreed for the CRY CLASSES..I was very nervous to start with..But as i started taking classes i really fell in love with it..It was a challenge to stand up in front of those bright kids and to answer their questions..I was screwed on more than one occasion by my students..But i took it positively and tried to teach them to the best of my ability..In the process,i also overcome my stage fear to an extent and developed the confidence to speak in public..I took only 5-6 classes but i can never forget the impact they had on me...
**WISDOM CUP**
I always had a burning desire to prove my critics wrong who always questioned my non-academic abilities..I gave a fitting reply to them by giving consistent sterling performances throughout the tournament and emerged as one of the best performers of the tournament..I will always cherish the memories of that tournament and will try to carry on the confidence that it has imparted to me..
**DRIVING SCHOOL**Meanwhile i had also enrolled for the DRIVING SCHOOL.We were supposed to report at 6 in the morning every day.Boy for a college student that's a himalayan task!!Anyways somehow i and dada managed to do that on a regular basis for the next 25 days.It was fun learning driving on our famous "NITT Tracker".Boy i had a really hard time locating the neutral on its screwed-up gear system.We were nearing the end of our driving course and after a dozen of trips outside college had become quite comfortable driving four-wheeler vehicles.Next in line for us was the "two-wheeler" and our instructor made us believe that it's a matter of just half an hour.And that's how it turned out to be!!
So we bunked classes and headed to get our driving license in our "tracker" and "god-knows-which-model-scooter-cum-bike".We had a painful wait of two hours before we finally arrived at the test center.Surprisingly the test went as well as i could have ever hoped for.The whole exercise looked pretty simple , but the corruption that i had to see both inside and outside the institute during these classes seemed a bit disturbing.But all that was lost when we realized that we had got the "license to explore"..The thought of the great things that lied ahead was amazing!!
**BAKR SESSIONS**
Whenever you think of masti in NITT,you can't leave BAKR far behind..I still remember the endless BAKR sessions i had with dada,sid,cyber,ghati,vishal,daa,mayank,madu..It really gave me an opportunity to understand my friends better..I came pretty close to cyber this sem..I had a rare privilege to see the non-academic side of this fundoo..I got to see what a wonderful and down-to-earth this guy is!!I also got the chance to know dada better..Had loads of fun with him in our BANGALORE-CUM-CAT trip..But the one guy who really impressed me this sem was my own roomie..I was really amazed to see such delightful changes in him..This sem gave us an opportunity to bridge our differences of the past one year and emerge stronger and closer than ever before..Sometimes i think what will i do without them in the future when none of them will be around me in Hyderabad??..But things can't always be the way you want them to be!!That's life for you!!
Be it the "Six sixes in an over challenge",the morning gym sessions,the late night volleyball sessions,bathing in cauveri,trip to th temple city , we had loads of fun this sem...
