BLISS

Under the moonlit half crescent,
The sky as clean as the spring,
With stars twinkling like diamonds,
Like small eyes gazing.

There, the friends sat,
Up on the roof, under the night sky,
Laughing and enjoying,
With a peg in each hand contemplating.

As time goes by,
The addiction goes up,
Nothing in this world seems real,
With everything in a spell.

Time freezes,
And the moment becomes one to cherish,
With happiness giving way
Ecstasy turns into fantasy.

RS 3817!!!!!

The new year-2009 has arrived and along brings with it new rays of hopes and aspirations. As the year of the Dragon (2008) ends and the Year of Mouse beckons, everyone will be hoping for new luck and changes for good.

Life will be taking a new turn, especially for me and my friends at NIT ROURKELA as we will be entering our 8th sem which will be our last in this institute.Looking back at time, it was as if we had just entered hoping to shape our careers and future and now, we are at the brink of leaving this very place, which has been our abode for the last 4 summers and winters.

The first day of 2009 was rather unusual..mobile phone lines jammed due to heavy congestion..really i was completely fed up as i could not wish my friends and not even the reliable 'sms' was delivered to them and add to that, i stay in a hostel where the signal is simply pathetic..
Registration got over and i started to watch the most watched series here in NIT -PRISON BREAK.The series is in its 4th season now...and to tell you, i have already completed 11 episodes in just 2 days and my head is spinning like a top..it has got a gripping effect on you that doesnt let u take your eyes of.

One thing that i did not do last sem was giving my friends a good Treat on my BDay and also on getting a job and for that i had to listen all sorts of 4 letter words from almost all my friends.So, before coming here, i wanted to be the first one to give a treat in the new year.The day was 2nd of JAN,2009 and we,(12 of us) went to a restaurant-MOKSHA.

On entering it, there were this bunch of girls (3rd year batch) and everyone wanted to have the best seat (you can imagine why??-no hard feelings to anyone) and some had to adjust.2 of my friends went and sat on a table right besides them away from us and i had to call them (useless fellows).As soon as we all settled down, everything got haywire..all round confusion surrounding the menu, everyone ordered and ordered and ordered...even the guy taking the order got confused..The time in between, a photo session started with everyone posing in the weirdest of poses that could be possible on a table-empty plates,full plates,glass of water-nothing was spared. Even the girls sitting in the table were not spared..fotos were taken meticulously but the photographer just could not get a clear shot..bad luck..

And finally the menu arrived and it kept coming. and when it stopped, i knew i was in trouble.but by that time i didn't fathom that it would get out of my budget by so much.Everyone ate up to their neck.It was time for the bill...and what do u know??? RS 3817.The bomb had exploded...

But we managed and it was an evening to remember...especially for me...The time, the moment was priceless..and i want this sem to be priceless..moments that will remain inside me for ever!!!!

Khandadhar

Those of you who have read my first blog must be wondering why i decided to write something that was absolutely horrific.Well, the reason is that i badly wanted to share this with all.. :D

Leave that topic.This one is about our branch picnic to a place named Khandadhar (Khanda means Sword & Dhar means waterfall)...It was an experience that was quite opposite to the incident mentioned in my previous blog-simply majestic,Mother nature at its grandest self,water gushing down from a height of around 200-300 metres, greenery surrounding the chilly winter day, the sound of wind gushing through the leaves of trees....It was simply out of this world (the fotos say it all!!!)..and to our surprise, medical students of a nearby Medical College also were having picnic at the same spot.

The trip to that place was equally enjoyable.We had to go through some really kachha roads and it took us around 3 hours to reach there.The waterfall was visible from quite some distance.It looked like a white sword and i suppose the name comes from this-Khandadhar.

The water was icy cold and my frenz decided to jump into it..At first, i decided to restrain but after some time even i couldnt help myself from joining them in the icy cold water...and i tell you, the sensation in my legs and hands just went away...i felt completely numb...

We all felt great and mighty relieved by getting away from the hectic and busy time table that we had..kudos to biswa(one of my close friend) who organised the whole trip...

It was gr8 fun..and i hope this bond of friendship remains with us forever...stay tuned!!!bcoz next time, its a trip to the land of sun sand and beaches-Goa!!!
