my travails in delhi

Well I've been absent from this blog the past month or so because of my exams. I've also been in some amount of physical discomfort. Yes exams are a pain in the ass but no literally! It has been the weather in Delhi! Too cold for comfort...

It was a torture studying during the exams, especially in the nights. Couldn't wait for that hot 2 am maggi from the canteen to warm my alimentary system. And once i fell asleep it was impossible to wake up in the morning. All the alarms and wake up calls were useless. Getting oneself off the bed was the toughest thing to do.

Initially I was happy they scheduled the exams between 2-5pm. Thought that would avoid early morning wake ups and shower. Also thought it would help me beat the cold. How wrong i was... I was always seated near the window and after 4 pm it suddenly started getting cold and I would always be caught unawares. And it would get difficult to write after that! So after the first exam i made a mental note that i have to finish writing my best answers up front coz not much can be done in the last hour.

After the exams it had gotten even colder and i had taken to jogging and sports to keep myself warm! Hell most of the hostel is doin the same to keep themselves warm! Now guys wake up only by about 8.30ish and get into the 8.50 shift for getting ready for the 9.00 am class. My roomie's friend in the Indian Military Academy came visiting last week and told us that in the IMA they get ready in 10 mins bath crap shave boot polish dress etc in that time. I told him we do the same too only we miss out some of those activities :D

Well I'm back in Chennai now. It feels good to be warm again! I guess the metro should have been extended till dwaraka by the time i get back so i get to my LG's place much more easily! And to Gurgaon too hopefully.
