I'm doing what I do quite well here. Writing arbitrary things, related only in one way, that is to some of the events that happened in this month, however vague the connection be.
This month has been fairly a good one. First of all, it has been raining once in a while and the weather has been beautiful. I have finally learnt the art of swimming. Yes! I have mastered the art of swimming! I can now conquer the seven seas, the mightiest rivers! - Of course, this was inspired by
->this. Calvin and Hobbes is ultimate.
I have finished Ghost in the Shell : StandAlone Complex, 2nd Gig. Quite good, and some of the plots were better than the 1st. Only, the link to the Laughing Man wasn't as obvious as it was meant to be. And the view of my house is almost visible in GoogleMaps. I can also see my school. I'm too lazy to upload any images though.
The best thing about the month was a classmates reunion that was on 17th. I missed it though. School life is the most enjoyable part of life, and meeting my old classmates would certainly bring back such a flood of memories, not even Noah's Ark would be of any use. The changes that 2 years have brought are ground-breaking, earth-shattering - on many. But not to forget, we live in a world where some things never change. This brings me to a Petronas Ad, if I remember - of a few Tam guys dressed like rappers, and something nice happens. The catchphrase is different, but who cares!
The day after, one of my friends put photos of the reunion on his Orkut album. That day, I spent 200 freakin Rupees of talktime from my mobile calling up practically all of them. For a person notoriously stingy like me, that is a landmark.
Another thing that I cherished are the long fart(read 'useless chatting', for non-IITians) sessions with Bhaand and Chintu at Narmad mess, usually after breakfast. It gets so long at times, that I end up putting PJs to 3 batches of breakfasters, and sometimes also having breakfast with them. I am notorious among my peers for having huge breakfasts, I take atleast half an hour and I'm not very slow at eating. It is good to have a heavy breakfast, forget the adage anyway.
Like many people here, I have been following the World Cup, and I believe Germany has a very good chance to win it. The world cup has been very shady, though.
-Lots of obvious have-to-be-there-can't-play-without players not selected.
-Surprise goals by many of the so-called underdogs.
-Bad refereeing decisions, unwanted hussles.
-Pathetic performances by many players, especially the big names at the EPL.
Soon, I will be going home for a much-needed visit. That will be the topic for my next post. Some time, I have to write about some non-arbitrary things.
