Godfather Update

Err.... I meant Great-Great Grandfather (Ref: 1st post) . These guys went far ahead of my predictions...and here is the damage list. (Non-exaggerated)

1. Biscuit Packs: 3
(No trace)

2. Lehar Namkeen/ Lays etc. : 5-6 packs
(They never existed...I hope........ whenever I am hungry...and look inside the cupoard with nothing edible in it)

2. Cigarettes : 8
(5 recovered during following 4 days)

3. Resins and Almonds: 1 Kg total
(Jar recovered... without the cap)

4. Cadbury Dark Chocolate: 75g
(Wrapper found on terrace)

5. Deodrant and Liquid Soap Bottle
(At least they found something useful)

6. Cellphone
(Recovered part by part with the screen broken...damn curious IITians)

7. Wallet (+ cash Rs. 300 something + 2 atm cards + I-card + Driving License)
(Recovered after I gave up on my worries..."Bandar ke haath mein Naariyal"........ :P)

Remedy:
I keep my windows shut all through the days...except when I am inside my room..awake. I am grateful that they didn't turn out to be nocturnal like the guys out here.

Back...

Am back after a long gap...many things happened in between, and I learned a lot (:D....or so I think..)

Specially "Valfi"...
Valfi is the word for Valedictory Function in the IIT Bombay jargon....an event organized by students where Profiles (Profile : Normally a 2-10 page long history of every damn thing related to the guy during the four years that will make him look like an idiot.. :P) are read (Publically on a stage...with the guy on a chair and ....friends surrounding him... and with loudspeakers, lights and videography) for everyone, and after that they are forced to butter everyone with sentimental words...:D...just exaggarating a bit..:P


Despite what it may look like, it really gave an insight into lives of friends who were lost in IIT during these four years. Specially concerning my relations with them.

A dialogue by a friend after his valfi...which I contemplated a lot over...
"We are slaves of the spoken words;...but for the unspoken...we are the masters..."

Another thing...
"I am a good friend of so many....but I feel I don't have any myself..."

Endsems are close..so I don't think next post will be before 15 days or so...

N.B. : Thanks to the unknown visitor from Kandivali(A/C to 'google analytics') who kept checking the blog and motivated me for a comeback. :D
