Here I am, This is me(obvious,isn't it?)!

The credit of this post goes to one of my classmates whose words of encouragement have given me the necessary push to go ahead and post some more 'pseudo-intellectual' crap! Could start by writing about how I spent my summer... coz nothing else more suitable and apt to write after one comes back from a month and half of vacations! Speaking of the 'vacation' reminds me of why it started at such an early date. In fact what was later officially declared as a vacation by the college management had initially started off as a 'sine die'. No,u've not misread anything.. what started off as a sine die for 'students engaging in in-disciplinary activities and violence' had been later declared as a premature summer vacations. If I sit to contemplate as to what actually caused the violence by considering the information I have from various sources as true,then I can rebuild in my mind a hilarious sequence of events. Well, hilarious would be an appropriate word had the outcome not been so gory. But going by the absence of common sense and the presence of an excessive sense of 'pride' in the people who were directly involved, the violence seems pretty childish,immature and absolutely unnecessary.

Well,whatever happened had happened.. the result was that all the boarders of 6th semester had to vacate the hostels within 10 AM the next morning. On my suggestion, some of my friends decided to come with me for a short trip to vizag, naturally encouraged by the fact that my parents were out of station and we would get the flat and the car all to ourselves. And a good decision did it turn out to be, as we had a wonderful time together in vizag. Enjoying the sun,sand,sea and hills with absolutely nothing in mind except the sole aim of having a great time. All good things come to an end, so did this trip. Friends dispersed to their respective destinations and I headed to my brother's place - Chennai.

Reached Chennai the day after my parents departed for Singapore to join the vessel on a semi-world tour. Decided promptly that I can't waste all the time pretending to be doing something and actually doing nothing. Had joined a networking course - N+(Networking+) and CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate) in an institute there. And this is how my afternoons would pass for the remaining holidays. Mornings consisted of reading "The Hindu", breakfast,lazying around,reading books or playing GTA :San Andreas.. yes,I played it again.. right from the start. Evenings included taking rest,snacks and watching T.V. In similar fashion the day ends and before one knows, its time to hit the sack again ! Time literally flies when you want it to stay that way, doesn't it ? Atleast one thing I am glad about is that I paid attention in the classes I attended and used the travel time in the bus to go through the course material. Had been to Queensland one day on the occasion of Dada's birthday.. tried out all the rides that can be in a day's span.. ended up having a wonderful time.

That's nearly summed up my sine die vacation for you... See.. I fooled u guys by promising 'pseudo intellectual' stuff in the beginning ! Not really my fault, will surely get some in the posts to come.. Don't get disheartened guys !
