Core Dump - 2
* Triple whammy dhuum-dhaDaakaa last Friday: three tests (I prefer calling them tests so as to not mix 'em up with the more friendlier connotation of the word "quiz"). Two were of a "surprise" nature, but the only thing I did right that day was to correctly anticipate them (reasons: they were overdue | psychology of prof involved etc.). But no marks for such keen eyes. Didn't do me any good.
* For some reason, Trilogy, as part of their pre-placement jamboree, put on a show (dinner at a nearby big place) for First Years as well last Friday. Wonder what they stand to gain by that? They're paying well, have some sort of a "reputation" which would guarantee people aiming to join them etc. Am a little puzzled at their being so eager to engage First Year MTechs/Third Year BTechs
* Since there have been a thousand syndromes to cover the entire spectrum of human psychological behaviour and from what I have been misled to believe, you can use that to effect in places like the US, I wonder if there is any to cover lack of concentration? I could use one of those. If medically sanctioned, I could say - ah, I'd have done well but for my inherent, genetic lack of concentration syndrome.
* Bicycles are clearly the silent killers on campus.
* Until August, I had seen an average of 6 films per month in 2005. In August? Just one. Sad, sad. sad.
* Among the many nice things about going home on weekends is the wonderfully exhilarating drive down some of the large Mumbai roads and ultimately the Expressway early in the mornings.
* Have finally discovered a food haunt that suits me - the H2 canteen serves some great food (paraaThaas and Chinese sampled so far, good shakes) at affordable rates, not too spicy and best part, (so far) with no next-morning-gastro-intestinal-traumas. My roommate and I keep inventing indifferent excuses to skip dinner at the hostel (like "we have to finish this assignment tonight") and catch a bite on the way to our hostel.

The silent killer - elaborate.
The food at H2 canteen was not that great in my days, but still half of the hostel seemed to eat its dinner there. Movies at convo started yet??
