My first Holi away from home..

Holi turned out to be quite nice!! Quite different from what it's been like so far!
The best thing about the day was that it was the day our ragging got over, so like I can go to college now atleast dressed up like normal me!
Apart from that we did some unusual things, like we got the water tank to overflow and then had a rain dance and stuff like that. And to top it all, we got a nice big treat from the seniors!!
So it wasn't bad at all!! And the most important thing..I HAD FUN!!

The Festival Of Colors


Its 'holi' today, the festival of colors, and here I am, in college, all clean and dry.
Man I miss home! And I'm like dying to get back home and be with my friends. There's only five more weeks to go before I get home, but I just can't wait now. The closer the time comes, the more restless I get.
Anyways you all don't need to bother about that! Just go out there and have an awesome holi!!

Mech Workshop: Day 3

Today was mech workshop again, and I so hate it! Hell they make us work so hard!!
Today I had to work on this thing called the 'lathe' machine, and to tell you the truth, I'm hell terrified of all those big noisy machines in there. And we gotta work on them alone!
It took me one hour to get the hang of the thing and even after that, the whole thing was a bloody disaster..

Today is Friday!!

You may think I've gone nuts or something, but it is friday at NITC today!
It's actually kinda fun, with everyone so confused, its quite hilarious. A little irritating too coz I being the CR, am being bombarded with calls and texts on whether the extra classes scheduled for friday are gonna be today or the real friday!!
Anyways so far, the day's been especially good for me today otherwise ;)

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault





The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, some remote locale in the Arctic region, has kind of really caught my fancy. The photographs look like something straight out of Dan Brown's books to me. And yeah, all that ice around and all that talk about 'Doomsday' reminds me of 'Day After Tommorrow'!!
But, coming back to reality, I really wonder how the seed vault's really going to help in the event of a crisis. The vault's located in some really remote location in the Arctic - i understand its located there to protect it from human interference - but when we really need it, when there is a real crisis, how the hell are we going to get to it. I mean, there will be very few who'll actually get to access that thing, and somehow I feel, at that point in time, only the powerful developed countries are going to benefit from it. And the rest of the world might just perish away.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I've got absolutely the wrong picture, but maybe, just maybe, I'm right!!
