I've decided to call this entry 'the next update' out of serious lack of a better idea. I do realize though that it's been over a week since the last update. Tis a pity I missed the deadline, but I think I have a good reason. The reason being......well I'm not exactly single anymore. Yes that's right, I'm at the nascent stage of a relation. She's in the same college, and I think we've both liked each other for a while, although we admitted it openly only yesterday. It's an immense pity that the exams are so close, and they cut into whatever time we could have together, but we're trying to establish continuous communication over the phone. I term this as the nascent stage as we're still getting to know each other, and hopefully things should work out ok. We're both remarkably different individuals, but I think we share a sort of mutual respect for one another, and that's the most important part of a relation. In other news the exams are drawing closer, which is worrying, and all the bombs exploding everywhere are starting to piss me off.
Until next time

Filling in the Blanks - the past 10 months
LONG time......it's time I started maintaining this blog again. Well first to pick up one where I left off, for I notice no updates of this year exist on this blog. The past few months have been unimaginably eventful, and it's a pity I didn't update this blog simultaneously. Still there's some attempt here to cover the gap at least on a factual level
The IOC went well - Bipin's mark 24/30 which fell to 21 after moderation
The lab reports became a major cause of concern in the following weeks ( and culminated into a disaster in the case of physics )
The Mocks were ok
The IB exams were ok
Overall the last few months of the IB were the most demanding, but by and large it all worked out ok
Gaining admission into college was another painfully traumatic experience. Waiting in ludicrously long ques, while being bitten by mosquitoes. Remembering to carry the millions of documents required along with their attested photocopies. Being spoken to rudely by the people manning the admission counters all added to the frustration of applying. With the insanely high marks that most people in HSC secure the only place where I stood a chance for admission was Jai Hind, which I took up.
College in itself was difficult to adjust to. A detailed analysis of college life can be found on my facebook note. Here however I have the liberty of mentioning individuals which I couldn't do on the very public facebook. Politics exists at every level in college life, and at times that can be pretty sickening. Specially the ass licking speeches made when any guest speaker visits the college. Independent thinking doesn't exist the way it did in the IB, and the general rigour of academics is disappointingly low(Especially in English Literature) I've joined the English Honours program which has led to a pile of assignments all screaming for, but not yet receiving my attention. The first ever literature seminar I took part in today on War Poetry was a disaster of the first degree. With 20 minutes to present our work, the discussions were generalized, unsubstantiated, and terribly underdeveloped.
Exams up in around 2 weeks, and lot of other work to do. I auditioned for a part for the Annual Play, I thought the audition went ok, but I'm not too hopeful.
Well I think that fills up the gap pretty well.....a relatively impersonal and factual post, but I'll remedy that in the near future. In the meantime I must make it a point to update once every week.
