My Reunion

now is the time to write all i can because all the other reasons i have been giving myself for not writing are no longer there. all of my friends here have joined already. so i m the only one left. i m all at home all day thinking of writing something like "different ways to kill time for dummies" ( i m pretty good at this and 4 years in Roorkee has made me a champion where else can you watch anime 24X7 and how can i forget those OC reruns i had to watch with neha because i used to finish the whole season when she was in Delhi and we were too lazy to transfer the whole thing into her computer)...
i space my time between tv and my pc....i have lost interest in the whole internet business because of my brother's idiotic broadband plan which has a free download only from 2 to 8 in the morning and i hardly do anything other than downloading. every night i start reading some novel trying to make it till 2 but i am sound asleep by 11. so there goes my daily routine doing nothing and watching seinfeld ( which ironically is a show about nothing)
one of these days i was chatting with an old school friend who has been trying to organize a reunion for quite some time( which was for almost a year) but no one seems to be interested coz they are all allegedly busy...i hate this reunion business..i mean i d love to meet a bunch of school friends. but the reunion i m talking about was the IIT coaching batch...you know how it is with all the coaching centers...you never actually talked with anyone of them because you were afraid you ll pass on some info about your studies and then they ll get a better score trust me i m not this type..i was pretty sure that i would get through BITS (which finally dint happen) so i never said no if some one asked for my notes or anything which by the way was rare expect for chemistry of course.
we were like 10 girls in a batch of 100 i think so we were the minority who were good at chemistry (well all girls are thats what guys say) and physics the sore spot. but we did have a lot of fun back then...i used to watch this show called Roswell (i was into aliens and all that stuff back then..hell my all time favorite show was X files) and there used to be big debates about the story line and how can i forget those huge birthday parties on the roof. we were not allowed to talk to guys( this is the truth! we used to have a coordinator whose job is to actually prevent any communication between the two groups and whenever we had a doubt or something we ll ask her who in turn goes to the guys and finds outs the solution and the other way around.... well see how lame things are this is the supposedly the most liberal coaching in hyd) i did not study that much for JEE i must accept this fact before some one actually points it out. but in the end two of us made it through. so this reunion we were having was like a place where everyone of us are to prove that the decisions we made in the last 4 years were the best ones and we are having a blast in our respective IITs.
the last reunion we had was 2 years back. and most of our batchies are in iitm obviously coz its nearest and the other group who were the non iitm because of their ranks. so we went to Prasads and as usual no tickets. so here we were a bunch of 20 odd people with 2 of us from other iits. now starts the big story of how they have a OAT where they can watch all the movies and blah blah blah..i m not into this boasting crap.. i was this close to telling them to shut the trap and the funniest part of the whole ordeal is that i never actually talked to any of these guys in the 2 years and here they are chatting away as best friends...maybe thats what iits does to people the otherwise shy people are all of a sudden too enthusiastic to talk about their instis....
well everyone thinks that this is the place to be all nostalgic but i dont like remembering things that are exactly not the best times. well for any normal human being jee prep will definitely not be on the best days list.
I m going to another reunion tomorrow( i seriously have nothing better to do) lets see what new things have come up in iitm..i ll make a comprehensive list when i come back.

Roswell was kind of decent in its first season. Then it became totally unwatchable. Luckily Katherine Heigl has moved on to better things.

@mathew
i cannot believe that you actually saw Roswell( no one even knew its name in Roorkee)
became kinda lame in the end but but all in all it was ok i guess
it made me read a lot about alien conspiracy theories :D
