16 Dec Lots to say

Its been long since I have typed in something into my blog. As I see the last one was on November 19th which said about the completion of my fifth semester at NITK. Most of the grades are already out and after a lot of "kirkiri" with the grades in energy engineering and finally a ten in a maths course I seem to have kept my cgpa safe above 8. There was even a small confusion that I had got an Unsatisfactory grade in a course which I audited. But later I came to know that the U stood for aUdit and not unsatisfactory. Thank God.. great relief. I actually started laughing at a facebook application which had shown a result stating I will have zero flunks in my engineering exams.

There is actually a lot to say. Whenever I encountered something interesting or thought provoking I had thought of putting it up as an article in my blog. However those interesting and thought provoking things kept me from sitting in front of my Laptop and typing one article for my blog. Finally today I made it here. Actually I am packing up to go home. Yes !!! Holiday Time. Sixth Sem started off with those usual course registrations with a difference however due to the large number of electives to chose from. I don't know why it always happens to me. Last semester my top priority course (Hydraulic and Pneumatic Controls) was removed due to less number of students and it happened again this semester for a course( Synthesis of Mechanisms) that I so badly wanted. I finally ended up taking only three courses (HPC, Automobile Engineering and Linear Algebra). Well this sem since I am comparatively free I think I will be able to work more for SOLVE.

Just after the registrations got over I had been to Chennai to attend a wedding reception and when I started back I witnessed FATE :P . My return journey train was at 1130 from Chennai Central and I caught a local train at Velachery metro railway station at around 1015 and the time was sufficient to get down at Park Town, walk slowly to central and board my train. But as I said something different was written in my fate that day. I boarded the local and got a window seat and started thinking of all kinds of different things, work, friends, relations and so on. There was a nice breeze blowing. My tummy was full and my laptop bag acted as a pillow. I DOZED OFF. I got up suddenly to look out at an almost empty platform Chennai Beach station staring back at me. I looked at the time. 1136. I knew I had missed it. Still I prayed to God, started making some deals about coming to temple, but he was not at all interested. I boarded another local to Park, rushed to the Central and as expected it had left long ago. I had booked my ticket for that train just reach early to college next day morning so that I could attend the first class of the semester. Aftermath of this consists of me searching for all possible ways to get back to college in time to go to class. Bought a ticket to Bangalore, Boarded Hubli express and booked one ticket in KSRTC airavat bus to college and expected it to reach college by 0700 (as the time mentioned in the details was 0630). However my FATE EFFECT was not over yet. The bus that I got into had a breakdown some time at around 0400 ( I remember because I was asked to get into another bus, Rajhamsa this time (unfair naa), and I had asked the time) and this second bus dropped me at college at around 1100 :( .Missed the first two classes which were the only two classes on that day which had something to listen. FATE MAXX.. Can't Help.There were a lot of other silly crazy things happening but then I just avoided them as I have eaten your brain enough
Today there ain't any classes and our holidays start from tomorrow. I am leaving for home by a KSRTC airavat bus at 1620. I stopped thinking about that missed train and delayed bus. All I hope is today's bus; I catch it properly in time and it takes me home as fast as possible.
