My Weird Weekend

As Kolkata turns into Atlantis yet again, the island that was my home comp has finally decided to re-join the mainland thanks to the valiant efforts of my cable guy in fixing up my net connection.


Got a paper presentation on economics pending, have a residential seminar to attend this week. But first, have to convince my stats prof to allow me to submit his assignment a week late.
Hell, just two weeks ago I was wallowing in self-pity coz I didn’t have enough things to keep me occupied. Now I’m frantically trying to squeeze in Sunday lunch after math tuition, a photo exhibition after stats and a slab of dark Fluries’ chocolate before another gut-wrenching session on child-labour with my Head of the Department.


Always thought my life wasn’t exciting enough. Well, this Saturday was distinctly different.
The day started normally, only to spiral out of control towards the fag end. Right now it seems rather funny, even hilarious. But if truth be told, I was shit scared when it was actually happening.


Achieved a lot of firsts this weekend:

1) My first public assignment as the Assistant Head of Quizzing for Xavier’s Debating Society.
2) Calming down a guy I had never met before. I believe my first line after he seemed stable enough was, “ By the way, I’m Preyoshi”.
3) Daintily sipping lemon tea as befits a lady at CCD while a guy gets beaten up on the next couch.
4) Breakfasting on a cup of tea and two mints. Almost choking on something unpalatable.


I guess there’s a first time for everything.
