Shopping

Stupendously quickly, more than a week has flown by! I apologise to the readers for the delay. Well, at least I apologise. The new episode of Dragon Ball Super has also crossed its due date and no one has apologised to me yet.

I went to Pune last weekend. My mother took me shopping. A thing about me that you may or may not be expecting – I hate shopping. If I wish to buy new clothes, I go shopping, select a decent-looking plain or striped shirt, buy it and I’m done! She took me to a mall, with a huge variety of choices and made me try and buy many things. I hate when she does that. The other reason I hate shopping for clothes is that I like plain and simple clothes. One might say plain and simple clothes are the easiest to find, but slow down there! By plain and simple, I mean no fluorescent colours, not too much of contrasting colour combination, not too many colours and nothing written on the shirt. The logo, if one, must be small. Finding all of this in one piece of clothing is not an easy task. To top it all off, I don’t like wearing shirts – T-shirts are the best.

Back at ICT, SportSaga has started! It’s a long sports fest from the 16th to the 26th of March. It includes the largest student-organised marathon in Mumbai. It’s fun – volunteering here and there, for any event or for any department such as hospitality, R&L and all, managing classes and labs with the events you participate in, watching matches unfold before your eyes and cheering for your team. You may learn more about it on www.sportsagaict.org.

Today, a section of the first-years had a continuous assessment test (CAT) on process calculations. I was helping a friend study (more like teaching him, though) from 10 pm the day before. When we finished, the watch read 1:26 am. If this goes on before every CAT or mid-semester or end semester examination, I am seriously thinking of including “Teaching Experience: Helped 30% of the hostelites pass” in my CV. Of course, I need to invest my time and concentration in that.

So, let’s “exchange” views next time…

PS: I haven’t been asked to advertise SportSaga. It is just so great that I feel like doing so, you know, sharing the joy!
