Girls just wanna have fun!!! :D

Okay, that’s one way of saying it! Two days and the hostel life has already caught on me yet again. Nostalgia, longing and memories all mix up to give a pleasant feeling making us all smile at ourselves. Thanks to the holidays rent out to SRMites due to Milan ’11 and our hostel friends who most graciously covered for us in the hostel, we actually loved the awesome feeling that comes with breaking rules! :D

Even though the first day was nice, the fun part started with the advent of the meatball tin! Well, we ll get to that later. Punctuality is one thing we Indians will never learn! After a whole lot of planning, my friend who was supposed to be in campus by 10 15 reached an hour later. Tired from the heat of the sun, all of us decided to take shelter in the room. Talking, talking, talking….. then a movie. Halfway through, my good friend decided to go out. Well, I did finish the stupid movie(which was btw titled “Just Friends”, which you wouldn’t watch if you didn’t want an early death!! Just horribly boring!! :/). I was left at the mercy of a mute final year architecture student till my hostel friend FINALLY turned up! This is one thing we experience only at the right time. Even though we meet our classmates everyday in our class, its only at times like this that we actually realize how nice and helping some people are. Thank you people for making our stay there feel welcome and enjoyable, we owe you one!

At around 6 00 pm, my other friend, who had gone to attend the event I,Chef, returned with a perfect batch of cookies! Whoa! Just yummy! :D then it was soon dinner time. Now the actual fun started. My cookie friend, who was Kashmiri, had received a tin of special meatballs from home. Problem was that the tin needed a can opener and all we had was a screw driver. After a desperate scramble for something even remotely near a hammer, we gave up. Its in times like this, innovation can reach its heights! Back to the start, we took the hard way of locksmith hammering with a screwdriver. After half an hour of taking turns and cursing, the tin was finally open! Phew! A digital camera always helps. When my other friends toiled hard, we caught them on the reel. :D a memory frozen on a memory card! :D :D Hot after a boil, the contents of the can more than compromised for the trouble the holder had given. At 9 pm, we were the last people in the mess. The mess food I had hated a semester ago, suddenly tasted fine when I wasn’t paying for it! Maybe this is what they meant when they said anything free seems good enough! ;) :D

Another surprise! The SRM wifi actually is faster than normal broadband connections! Youtube videos buffered faster that they were playing! Checking out tracks, we had a good laugh with some of the dumbest roadies videos ever! :D it was getting late and we decided to hit the pillows.

Fresh after a good night’s sleep, and geared up with good free mess food ;) , we made our way to the auditorium. Substandard performances in the vocals competition left me astounded as to why none of my friends or I made it through the preliminary SRM round! Crazy people! Anyway, lunch at Choice was another good round of food!

At around 5 30, we made our way to the Shreya Ghoshal concert. At 6 45, I had lost interest and ended up selling my ticket! :D :D I m not much of her fan, so didn’t matter much. Turned out, I did a good job. The hyped singer turned up 3 hours behind schedule, delaying the concert to after 11 pm. My friends trapped in, were starving while I was going about tasting good food from the canteen. :D :D Ha~! :P Too tired from the walking around, I dozed off. My friends, I learnt later, continued the talking till early morning.

It was all back to packing and leaving in the morning… it may sound lame to you reading this account, but it was among of the memorable days of the semester. The good feeling is here to stay for a long time. Only a few people can make me feel this way. I m happy I have friends with whom I can have a good time with, with whom I can make memories and have fun my way! Thank you for the awesome time! :) :)
