I completed a month here on campus today. And what a day to celebrate! Firstly, thankfully, it was the weekly off. With no test scheduled for the next day. It is ironic that I am going to say the next set of words – I do not care if I get a couple of hours less of sleep (!) now. So without bothering about the few hours that I’d get even on a Wednesday night (which is Saturday night here), I ventured out for a walk with friends in the rain. Following that was a loooong chat session with Priyam in the common area. Also got to see a hyper security woman trying to get girls back in after the in-time. Funny!
For the next day (our Sunday) was planned a trip to the city. We were going to board the first bus out at 11:00 a.m. and have a nice breakfast with everybody before that. But my roommate (!) used the bathroom for 45 minutes. For the Sunday joy, I believe. So I could not go for breakfast at all. Yes, bad habits are going. Baths happen in the morning. Unless I wake at 8:25 for the 9:00 a.m. class. š
Coming back – everybody had some work in different parts of the city, so we first dispersed in different directions. I was alone for the first time in a month. Walked a little to Deccan. This place has ALL the banks. I saw Axis. And a queue of at least a hundred people outside – second last day for purchase of CAT forms. I was only a little too amused. And then I started looking for the Vodafone gallery. Too too far. So I walked at least 3-4 kms (in the rain again). Shopped for fruits [:)] and bought a plant too with a terracotta pot!!! It is now sitting pretty outside my room.

Friends wanted non-veg food for lunch, and I went for a dosa close-by. Alone again. But that was nice. I ended up sharing a table with a dental surgeon settled in the US visiting family here in Pune. Had a nice, pleasant conversation with her and joined friends back. Pushed off to Barista from there. Everybody was going to meet up again there. About 10 of us. The session there was going to last about 2 hours and what 2 hours we had! Lots of fun, people losing it, talking shit, laughing, not cribbing, and enjoying to the core. The pictures might talk…
Adding today’s pictures and a few from all the past days.

Tickle is universal. Hasn’t left me in Pune either.
Shoi rarely smiles. And that night we were all in fits of laughter. You can see the reason.
