About a girl.

Yes! Fourth semester is finally over! The gracious examiners took pity on my sorry state, both physical and academic wise, and let me go in quickly and wrapped it up quickly too. I am thankful to them, and finally convinced of their humane side, which over the course of 2nd year, I had begun questioning.

But this post is not about academics. Far from that. Just as I was leaving, I saw a sight that captured my senses completely. Ever had a feeling of the sheer beauty of someone enrapturing you so that you wished time could stop forever, just for that moment to last for so much more than that mere second for which it did? I generally have well thought of and set parameters on how I define beauty. Its something that's untouched, no superfluous efforts to look good, just being yourself. And I truly believe that to figure out whether a girl is beautiful, at least in the physical sense (although I rarely define beauty as something in the physical sense, but today is an exception ;-) ), is to see her in a kurta and salwar without makeup. Today was that day. Breathless, that is the only word that I can use.

To date, there are very few girls, if any, that I have called beautiful based on just the physical. But if there is any girl for whom I'd make that exception, she is the one.

That moment will survive me for the better part of the three months of holidays that I'm looking forward to.

To the one with the most beautiful smile ever. Here's a tribute to you. :-)

Only in NSIT

Yeah, my 4th semester has almost finished, barring a single practical that remains to screw whatever that is left of my academia. And yes, I haven't forgotten about the long awaited post on 3rd semester, but being the esteemed students of the great institution, they want to inculcate in us honorable virtues of patience, to have steadfast dedication to one's work without craving for the fruits of success or failure. Even though the administration at DCE decided that a wait of roughly four months is a good enough test and announced the result, we at NSIT have to obviously top our fellow brothers and sisters. With this thought, its been 6 months and still counting and the wait is on...

Mahaquizzer 2009 took place today. My first hands-on (?!) experience of the quiz was pretty average. Its a tough quiz, comprising of 150 questions to be attempted in 90 minutes. Conducted by the KQA, it aims to cover as diverse topics as music, sports, science, history, art, pop culture, geography etc but is skewed a lot towards hindu mythology and other such 'super-specialty' topics of the great quizzers from the south. Frankly speaking, it was quite boring, with moi falling asleep twice during the quiz. The questions didn't have too much workoutablity in them, hence reducing it only to a know-it-or-you-don't thing. No doubt the quizmasters are great quizzers, and considering that its open, I expected it to be like this. But yes, I also expected a lot more.


Have a long and hopefully productive vacation lined-up for myself. Will write something about my experience of it too. I do hope that I will have to write it only after my post on the 3rd sem though. :-)

Cheers!
