October Round-up

Alright, another long break and another crazy couple of weeks! Time just flies when you are in final year, I tell you. It feels like just yesterday that I was sitting in the same place and conjuring up adjectives to describe a particularly fascinating innings by Sachin. And yet, as the clock tells me, its two weeks hence.

However, the last week and a half has pretty much been an entrepot of memories. It started with the trip to Goa. Some six of us had planned on attending the BITS Goa fest, Waves. But after numerous plan-changes and drop outs, just three of us ended up going. And, we only spent the one day in the fest out of three. Nonetheless, it was one hell of a trip! Karaoke, great food and a legion of trips to the many beach-shacks made it all the more memorable.

The weekend after was our annual technical fest, Engineer. But before we could get to that and enjoy a further four days of freedom, we all had to make it through a dreadful assignment. The fear of a fail-grade made everyone that much more careful, so as to not have it seem that their assignment is copied. But once we were done with that, there were no more worries.

It was time for Engineer. Touted as one of India's biggest technical symposiums, it sure did live up to its name this time around. Although a vast majority of the people around had either gone home or on other surreptitious trips, those who did stay had a good time. Last time around, Engineer brought about a sort of manic depression. However, this time, we attended quite a few events, and in high spirits at that.

To cap it off, there is a chance of a tournament being there this weekend. That would be a perfect finish to a good month, one that started with basketball and may very well end with it, but had so much more in between. Until my next post, adios.
