Bangalooru or the anglicized version Bangalore was where we were headed just as our exams ended. But the excitement knew no bounds and started man way before! Since we realized we were going to do a project in IIM B our day-dreaming sessions were never-ending. We even went to the end of googling up Bangalore whenever possible to see what all we could do. Bangalore is a great place whose history runs for more than 1000 years back! This place has received it name from its ancient name Bengaval-uru or the City of guards. Even now this place acts as the guard of the unlimited dreams of many! ;)
Back to our trip, which I would was one of the most memorable ones I have had. Maybe because I haven’t been travelling much lately either. As the last exam ended, actually left way before it ended, just couldn’t write any more stories ;), I rushed out as I had chalked out my plans for the whole afternoon. We had to evacuate our rooms, which was the top on my list. For the endless amount of stuff I owned and the nostalgia attached that I couldn’t ditch any either. After 4 to 5 hours of intense packing, running around for packing tape, packing for Bangalore and interspersed moments of interesting gossiping session (come on we wouldn’t be able to do this face to face chat for the next 2.5 months!!), I was literally drenched in sweat. And then I started numbering my cartons which I believe ended with 8! The worst task was coaxing my roommate to help me transport these 8 cartons, 4 suitcases and other minor stuff to the dump room some 10-12 rooms apart! But the senti worked and thanks to her I got a decent corner in the room to stuff my goods!!
And now for the journey.. Train was around 8.somethin, train that night but none of us knew the timings: D Decided to leave at around 6.30 but as such packing, bidding farewell to the seniors jus went longer than expected and we at last managed to leave ravenous around 7. Once in the cab, well seated all of us were busy keying our text adieus to our friends. Managed to make it to sangeeta’s our regular food destination while travelling home, but there the cab driver refused to wait till we finished hogging! As I don’t know how it happened but I was the only Tamil speaking person in the whole group and had to do all the haggling: D maybe because my bargaining skills are exceptional B) or they couldn’t bear my Tamil , anyway we immediately got what we asked for :D Had to rush through dinner but no we were slowly eating enjoying savoring the taste and by the time realization struck we just had to rush to the street with our million bags and start hailing a auto. I don’t know how but some 10-15 pieces of baggage easily fit into an auto!! Hail autos! But their pricing, leaving me alone again to fight with him and next with the porter! It was a great time we had with the porter as all this luggage had to be moved till platform no: 2 on a single big trolley with bags falling down at every other moment, and when we had to go down a slope and pull it up the other man, serious work there! And whenever any train wailed we were like, gone is our train! We like walked till the end of platform no: 1 and reached platform no: 2 from there dropping everyone at their respective compartments, and lo! Ours was s11 the last compartment, we broke into a run at last. Hurriedly threw all pieces of luggage inside just to realize we had one of our friends ticket, and she was happily just searching her name on the list, ran back again and as we got jus settled in the train, there came heavy rains! Whoa just saved and there at last our train wailed and off were we! :)

A class to remeber :D
heyyo!!
Hmmm.. this time I cant think of anything to blog about, but as I'm sitting here bored, guess I'll write up something to kill it(boredom of course!)
Hmm.. Oh!
I've got an idea guess ill write about this class we had in college.. It was great.. I mean the class as in the lecture was drop dead boring but whatever happened other than in class was fun! at least I felt so.
It was sometime in the middle of the semester. I guess it was a Monday or a Friday or some day in between of those all-classes-cancelled-totally-free-to-bunk days cluster, Oh this day had a few classes but owing to its positioning very very few people had turned up. Needless to say the rest were happily settled off at home(that pleasure only being enjoyed by the Chennai-ites)!
Shockingly I hadn't gone home and was stuck in this boring class room with a prof who didn't care what people did just kept muttering(to himself) great facts of god knows which subject!;)
The class starts off and I was happily seated in the side row last bench, great view of the class but nil of the prof or vice versa. Not even his droning voice could penetrate the air barrier around myself( or maybe coz his voice is really faint) but whatever the reason was the position was great for a good morning but slightly cramped nap. I had a slight fever too, I'm sure its due my over-sincerity in bothering to attend this class(but did I have a choice, attendance was taken for every damn class),so just put my head down. Coz rest is what you need when ur ill right!:)(with pleasure!!)
Suddenly this girl, brown eyes(names changed...obviously!) wakes me up.It seemed as if i had slept for like an hour or so.I checked my watch and saw it showed 11:35 when the class started around 11:25, pls..don't tell me this watch too has stopped working! This semester alone i can say around 3 of my watches have got damaged irreparably1 now not again!!:( I just had to check my mobile and found the large clock on it displaying 11:36!! what even after i slept time ceased to move!!This is unfair i cried!! Ok..Ok... now back to why she woke me up.. i thought maybe sir was looking this direction wonder why, maybe coz i was seated close to the window and he was enjoying the sights outside it, god knows! what runs in his mind!!But no, the first thing she asked was, hey name that new madhavan movie na?? man, man..where was this world going to people asking me details about Tamil movies..whoa! She was busy planning the free afternoon she had ahead(sadly only her, i had lab!:( )She was busy collecting data about the theatres and the show timings(at least she had something to keep her busy and stop from dozing off).The she started the planning train of thoughts and guess she spent the class fruitfully.Seriously everyone comes for this class considering it as some time pass class, i tell you most were busy taking down notes(but mind you of some other subject or busy filling records).
Didn't wanna sleep again so i thought maybe ill try enjoying the sights and sounds outside the window.Ahh..there was a crowd of cows out there(u think crowd isn't the collective noun for cows:p who cares). there were some that were tall must be the mumma and papa cow, or their aunts or uncles who also lived in the same campus, but as there were many tall cows(now now don't imagine some 7 foot tall mutant cows all that i mean those full grown ones). guess they followed joint family system, but man! seriously a big family. Or maybe their relatives have come from other pockets of this village we are in and the localites of the campus were taking them on a sight-seeing tour. never know what they were up to, there were so many kids (i.e. those thin baby cows with glowing skin which they i guess will soon get dirtied and ll rival the elders) they just kept loitering around, found a good green patch for themselves and started munching, kids followed in. don't these cows get bored eating the same thing day after day after, no spice no masala nothing, how do they survive and become so fat also... What would a fat cow say, i became so coz i couldn't resist binging on the lush green GRASS??? what??? the rate at which they keep chomping relentlessly, i guess they too are responsible for global warming, isn't it so??!!
Between this solace of thought another friend Ms.Kutty(names not changed:P) started calling all of us and guess what she asked for?? Stones.. she was almost in the first bench and was absolutely irritated and wanted to throw something. getting excited by this idea and silently ditching her busy planning schedule work;) miss:brown eyes started breaking off the beads from the end of her dupatta and started throwing it off on the empty metal bench in front of her and man! that did make quite a lot of noise. But still our busy prof: Dr. mumble jumble didn't hear a thing. was still in his sweet world of whatever he was muttering or scribbling on the board. This did wake me up for sometime and look around the class also. there was Ms:man;)busily finishing off her record work totally oblivious to all the crap going on around her, her face had the expression like that of a man(no pun intended;) or maybe;) ) with an aim and that nothing whatsoever could come in between. i bet even if Mr;mumble jumble intercepted her work, she would kick him hard and continue(not that all of us wouldn't try doing that but she would definitely!!!:)) The guys were busily sleeping, playing something or messaging others who were in similar stuck positions!:D
Similar to this is what happened every class and bet you my situation was pretty much the same in the exam too!!!
