After the exams, Chennai

The run-up to the end semester exams had the usual symptoms -
  • the announcing of the schedule, 
  • realizing you have very little time left, 
  • finding to your horror that, the syllabus you thought was going to be tested, was only the tip of the iceberg, 
  • postponing "studying seriously" to the last moment, 
  • mugging whatever formula you could, and 
  • writing the rest on your palm and finally screwing the exams.
 But then, it was another learning experience. I am trying to figure out what the minimum amount of study one requires to pass with an average grade is. I have a feeling I am reaching there. But then again, I thought my first sem was the minimum - I actually got 7.65; so more 'peace maar-ing' is in order.

 Presently, I am residing in Chennai (HOT is getting a new definition everyday) with my bro who suddenly decided he wanted to get into IIT too after he heard there was free internet and an intranet with just about anything you can ever desire. Cool, huh? Mom's decided bro won't study if left alone. Never knew he was destined to suffer 2 years like this.

 I would have loved to get back home in Kerala. I miss my relatives though I have only recently started to get to know them well. I did get a chance this weekend because my bro apparently forgot everything he learned in 9th & 10th and actually wants to go through the stuff from his texts which were back home.
End-result: An exciting roller-coaster ride from Chennai to Koratty (near Thrissur in Kerala) at the back of a non-A/C bus
 It would have been fun had there been any girls on board. But God doesn't work that way.

But, it IS good to be in Chennai. After all, I haven't left AIESEC and Himen (Team Management Head) set up a good network so that we could work with people from other branches i.e. I am now working with AIESEC Chennai - Juhi to be exact. Its always fun to meet new people and its a bigger experience to work with them. So, I'm having a lot fun - as I said "I LOVE 2010"!!
