Aahhh...holidays! The first few weeks are easily the best. :)
More so if you've just entered the hallowed 'final year'. The last few days at the hostel are spent frantically downloading movies and burning dvds, even amidst exams. With every passing day, trips to the mess become less frequent, partly because of the changed body routine; also the prospect of home food makes the mess food that much more inedible. And the 'Onji Vada Pao, onji fried rice and onji lime' at the Night Canteen provide the necessary sustenance. After those rather forgettable 2-3 weeks, holidays ahoy!!!
The first few holidays are just as how you wanted them to be. Haven't started with the intern yet; no mood to read anything, not even RD, so there's ALL the time in the world to laze away. So you settle on your bean bag with the laptop on your lap and stock up some foodstuff around, never to get your ass off it unless bowel movements force you to do otherwise. Movies, mobile, iPod, YouTube, Flock, Rapidshare and torrents - man, this is the life! With GG, TBBT, Scrubs, BL and 30 Rock, Lost, Chuck and more on your download queue, IPL can wait. RCB aren't doing that great anyway...
Status messages on GTalk, Twitter, Facebook, and the like reveal that you're happy and at home. Old friends take cue and drop by...and most of the potato chips and dvds disappear no time. They make you get off the bean bag to go shop for reinforcements...Aarrgh! Meet-ups at arbit cafes and pizza joints follow, where you end up exchanging pleasantries with both people you really wanted to get back in touch with and a few whom you just can't stand sometimes (or always). And parents keep telling you to get serious...your project is gonna start in a few days. But by the time the dust settles, you're back to your Lays-and-Internet existence. Aaaahhh...love the bean bag!
Before you know it, you're bored and writing blog posts.
