OF AASMAANI KABOOTARS AND OVERGROWN REPTILES

Its that time of the year again ! The starry-eyed asmaani kabootars are here.Clean bespectacled,happy for having cracked jee ...their movements all guided by mummeyjee and papajee ..u can make them out from about half a kilometer! The entire campus looks like a tourist spot ... with ppl strewn all over forming groups, discussing furiously the prospects of different branches.Any iitian in sight is mobbed, and what follows is worse than a police interrogation ! From questions ranging from job prospects to swimming pools from free net to mess food they are concerned with everything except the course content of the branch they are opting for.



My wing happens to have some vacant rooms and so a couple of them have been put up here.My room hence has become a wildlife sanctuary and myself a live exhibit belonging to an extinct species ..there are people who shamelessly peep into my room examining everything from top to bottom ... i feel as if i am being spied upon.I am forced to keep my door closed and choke to death ! This has led me to contemplate wearing undies and go around ..atleast that would keep them away...well mebbe :(



There are all happy faces in the mess clean bathed, oiled hair, well ironed clothes and here i am all shabby droopy eyed .... unkempt hair, as if i katrina just paid me a visit in bed, hogging the bland mess food and gulping down litres of coffee to stop me from dropping down on to the table...aahh never mind they'll all end up this way some day.

edit: by katrina i meant "hurricane" katrina ... some of my friends have threatened to tell my folks back home that i indulge in lewd writings ...so here goes the explanation :D

And with my internship coming to an end i am looking forward to going home .. oh! talking of home ill be meeting haria, kadam,shinde, lallan, sher singh,and asad on the way.... nah nah these guys are not my friends they happen to be vendors at dadar station platform no 5. Well, given the no of trips i make home in a year these guys are now contesting to be my best friends.I am responsible for about 60% of their turnover .. and did i mention the train driver? Well but there are still two weeks to go :( .



So in anticipation i cleaned up all the mess in my room this sunday.. so that it does not get spookier by the time i come back.With help from a workforce of three from the housekeeping staff i completely redid my room which was slowly turning into a reptle park! I found a lot of my old stuff in the excavation so it wasn't all that bad ... given that my mom had been pressing me for this for the past one month suspecting that some day some overgrown reptile might come out of the bed and swallow me up!


Talkin of reptiles, i have been watching a lot overgrown reptile movies for the last week - godzilla,jp trilogy and the like.Ah ! nostalgia .. how i enjoyed them with my mama :) simply amazing. He happened to be the only person at home who would take me to these kind of movies! Of all the few that i have seen in a hall most were with him... the lays chips the frooti the pepsi !Those memories will always be cherished! Love u mama!

hey dude "suspecting that some day some overgrown reptile might come out of the bed and swallow me up!".....
this thing is never gonna happen cause uptill there is a small hippy napping on the bed, how could REPTILE come.
anyways it was a nice nostalgic one.

Interesting to know the mahaul inside IIT these days. Good luck exploring all the new aasmaani kabootars, and getting rid of overgrown reptiles :)

And good luck for your visit home. Have a great time, dude!

By the way, was just curious to know: why have you chosen to use an african tribal's photo for your profile's pic?!

Cheers
