Back with a whimper...
Long long time… I remember somebody telling me that when one has to prioritize, one cuts down on blogging. I have to agree – I have been awfully busy for the past one month or so that I have not been able to post anything here. I realized the ill effects of not doing required work at the required time: my project could have been done very peacefully had I done it through the semester, but me being me, I had to had to keep putting it off until the very last moment and then do a sloppy job of it. I think I finally passed simply ‘coz my guide didn’t want to have anymore to do with me. I put a grade that I wouldn’t want to reveal here, for fear that someone in my family might come across these pages – I wouldn’t want to let them know of it as yet. Anyway, all I can say about my last semester in IIT Madras is that I am really really glad that it is over!!
I am typing this post offline now – something I haven’t done yet. So I am not sure if I told you people that I apparently screwed up my GD/PI at the IIMs – I didn’t get through to even one. I am sorry if I appear to be cribbing a lot in this post, but I can’t help it now. It’s really been a f*^$ed up semester. It started with the theft of my cell phone and ended with the loss of my camera. In between I have seen new lows that I never thought I would encounter in IIT Madras. I saw my first E grade (not in my project), put a 6-point GPA for the first time and had the most disappointing and unsatisfactory academic experience of all the eight semesters I have been here… oops, I mean, there in IIT Madras. I guess I still haven’t got used to the fact that I have come home for good from that place. All this makes me feel grateful that I am done with that place.
But once back home, one gets hit by nostalgia. I miss the damn place so much. As it is, I don’t have much to do here in Hyderabad and so am shit pained to death with boredom. I really miss the hostel zone and the Senthil shop of Taramani. Anyone who lived in IIT-M would know what I mean about the Senthil shop, but that is beside the point now. I just look back upon the last four years and see how much I have changed and all that shit. I am sure that I would have been much the worse for it had I been anywhere else. Call me sentimental, or whatever you want to, but I tell you, there’s no place like IIT Madras to spend your under-graduate days in. I guess that’s enough of senti for one post. I will catch you all later with what’s happening in Hyderabad… This time, I promise to be more regular in my rantings… I know, I know, I am making this promise for the n’th time!!
