Sleepless Nights!!!

No I am not a chronic insomniac. No, I have no bank loans to repay. No, I am not on run from the law. And NO (A big one) I am not the classic “my-girlfriend-just-ditched-me” case. Yet I do not sleep in the night. Why?? Because I am an IIITian. The statement speaks volumes as to why I am having to spend sleepless nights since the past 3 days. I am (as usual) caught up in a whirlwind of Assignments on topics I haven’t yet managed to study (was sleeping in class ). My midsems are starting on 19 December n just 3 days before that I have a DS Assignment on my head! I mean the TAs do not even consider the fact that we have to study (and PASS) other subjects as well!! Here I am in D-7 OBH-EB with a senior’s laptop trying to study something for the exams and well, there is no paucity of matter for I do not know any subject. So at 11 in the night its me, Harshit, Rahul and Pulkit – each one planning to study the whole night and then catch up with our sleep in the lectures (We all agree that we are lagging so much that trying to pay attention in the class now would be blatant foolishness).

The night starts with each of us picking up a book or a notes copy and getting down to work. Typically 10 minutes into the exercise and Pulkit can’t bear the deadly serious environment. So he starts looking for someone to annoy and Harshit is the easiest target. Slowly he gets onto everyone’s nerve and is forced to listen to long sermons from all three of us (His job done, he opens gtalk and goes busy chatting or perhaps orkutting). Now that the rest of us are distracted, we are joined by two guests of honour – Sathya and Arjun(Beri bechara — its a long story but i promise to discuss it some other day and i swear its a must read).Then ensues a long round of BC, songs on Rahul’s MP4 player and games on his portable video game. At around 3, Beri and Rahul retire for the day (can’t say night) and I somehow pass my time till 6 in the morning when it is time for my yoga class (see last post). And yet after three days i believe we are still on sqaure one as we have not yet submitted a single Assignment question (only 3 days left!!) and we do not know a word of ES, the first paper. But still its a fun experience and i guess we will continue till the exams are over.

Its 6 am now so i have to leave!! See you later. I have a lot more to share.

P.S. 1-I know it sounds strange, but — Pulkit is studying!!! Guess he is finally aware of our dreary state of preparations for the exams. I wouldn’t disturb him. Its not a sight u see often. And it does not hurt anyone to give the devil his bit of the rest!!!

P.S. 2-If he reads this, he’ll be back to normal (read abnormal) today night. Pray he does not. Sometimes change is welcome!!

P.S. 3- What is P.S.??? Do post me in the comments if u do. I never did gather the courage to ask my English teacher.
