... of my life. 99% of the things mentioned below were first-timers. I have mentioned a lot of these earlier as well, but just thought of putting it all together.
Did I mention truckloads of academics too?
What makes it even more enriching is the fact that these things weren't stand-alone. There was so much more to each event, each feeling, each hurdle and each experience!
- Badminton games in the evenings
- A trip to Jamshedpur via Mumbai and Kolkata
- Festo'Comm - hearing people from the industry talk of a few interesting things
- Trip to Ajanta and Ellora
- All-nighters for marketing presentations
- Drinking and getting drunk for the first time
- A break-up
- A friendship fuck-up
- Elections
- A lone party
- Calls to the US
- Longer calls with Avan
- Bonding with my roommate, detaching (when needed) in a snap too
- Adapting to a completely new way of living
- Visiting the new thing on campus - Shree, the not so cheap dhaba
- Strengthening the friendship with Swetha
- Feeling guilt when not guilty; made to feel even more guilty
- Having some of the most awesome people teach me
- Obeying rules made by some of the most fucked-in-the-head people too
- Learning how to, and then wearing a sari every Saturday
- So desperate for good food at all times that I even ate curry from a plate of chicken once
- Watch people act on stage after quite a few years
- Allowing the passion-related discomfort get to me once again
- Spending lonely moments
- Watching stars in the sky
- Feeling the setting sun every evening
- Spending an entire term without a Sub
- Being angry enough to pull out a key from the keypad of my laptop
- Interacting with someone whom I could find inspiring
- Travelling to Mumbai for an interview which turned out to be my best ever
- My first flowery dress
- A sense of loss so strong that I stood howling in a corridor
- Envious of someone's hair for the first time ever
- Signing proxies for friends; getting some done for myself too
- Helplessly watching the line between black and white blur
