Number Six

The dreadful semesters are past so are the bliss full holidays. Its back to college and a brand new untainted semester with renewed vows and a will to do better (not exactly academics). Much as one would miss the comfort of home and mother's food the hostel room is my freedom. To do as I please. Master of myself.  Independent of any one and of course where my internet connection worked better than anywhere else. The first thing we all do on returning from home every time was to clean the room inside out. Stash the damned semester papers,xerox notes in the dustbin. Stack the freshly home laundered clothes in the cupboard. Every sem starts with a new shower gel from Bodyshop. Climbing 2 floors gets you out of breath and the LHC seems too damn far. One single day in the hostel takes toll for the entire holidays when ,at least I, dint lift a finger at home.

I came by train in the early hours of 10.12.14. Slogged all the way to my college and finally hostel room by the suburban train and plopped onto my bed. I needed atleast 3 hours of the usual 11 I had in the holidays, Breakfasted on Oman chips (& Safari chips) bought and brought exclusively for me by K,the tastes of childhood, and sadly but surely went to class. The dagger of results still hung over our heads. The german classes brought some cheer. The gears started to roll and it was back to routine. Our year was blessed with ground floor classrooms.

 A week passed and it was time for our first scheduled weekend outing. Amethyst Cafe. Dresses check. Accessories check. Permission from dad..um well. But we went anyways and it was true to its reviews. (Fr more details visit fromtheroutine.blogspot.in). Staying in a hostel makes you appreciate and teaches you to take advantage of every opportunity to eat good food. S* and me cut little red velvet  cupcakes, received Chumbak gifts from S. And ofcourse the inevitable G6 photo shoot left us with 200 pictures covering DP's,CP's,and WP's for everyone. I shall not mention the car ride and the torn stockings. Nor the salwar bottoms and the shawls. We wore dresses and we rocked it.Period.

I am surprised to find that the Candy Crush addiction is slowly leaving me. 340 something I think its about time. Its a vile game thoroughly rigged in its creation. There were plenty others to take its place. I wanted to resume my reading habit. A Song of Ice and Fire my first catch of the season thanks to K. Bloody violent and more, but gripping till the last. That's done with and I wonder if I should continue.

Bad food, erratic water, depressing teachers and just life... but still G6 thrives.
