Year: 2012

Gone are the distant days of worrying about mess when I'm not there. Gave everything for breakfast. Ate leftover bananas as breakfast. And went for a research workshop with sumanth sir, venkatesh darshan, swathi and priyadarshi at HD Kote. The workshop was useful. Didn't take down notes because participants are gonna get the materials e-mailed.…

Yesterday, after I slept* (*-almost slept) 10 o'clock, one of my friends calls me and comes to my room for converting a set of videos in his laptop. While I'm on it a senior from a neighbouring room comes in and asks me to go get a rice bath from chat street. After successfully delegating…

Woke up to the alarm. The 17 rupee 3G smart internet recharge had expired at midnight. Got a 128 recharge online at 8 o'clock. Main cook left after making breakfast because her dad has a heart operation. Tomato bath once again. Since there is a plumber work today and since that requires an additional prefect…

Today I'm on my first official duty 😛 Dosa in the morning. And the girls took another gas cylinder taking the count to two. College trip has been finalized. I got the 5000 I put in mess back, and I paid 4600 for the trip, all in 5 minutes. Tried to open laptop in the…

Everyone was sleeping when I woke up today. Switched on the tv from standby and watched election news. Hope and change, more about it later. So, chithrana by laxmanna. The main cook was absent because she went Bangalore with her child for health care. And this guy found all the leaves stuff he needs from…

The security was sleeping when I woke up. Amazingly, everything was in store today. Nothing bought from outside. Scrubber still not delivered. Suhas stayed at mess today waiting to draw cheque from warden. But he didn't get it today. And just as I was about to leave for posting, got a call from ladies hostel…

In the morning, it's not as cold as the first day, these days. Anyhow I've returned Aquib's fest hoodie. It was rotti in the morning. Attendance was maximum. Sunday. It's feast for noon. After breakfast Uday and Manja were running around Mysore for things. While I sat at the kitchen: "sir, onion should be big…

Unlike yesterday, eventhough I was slightly aware at 5 o'clock, I woke up only when the alarm rang at 6. Remembered that I had left the workers' attendance book in Fadnis room last night and woke him up early in the morning. In the mess, milk and curd were just arriving. Everything was bought from…

Since I want to make it a habit to wake up early (one of the reasons I wanted to be prefect early on in the year) I will do the breakfast duty today. And as always I've woken up 40 minutes before when I should have. Thus this paragraph. – Ha, it's 10 in the…

Despite the inclination towards staying out of hostel every moment possible, I took up mess prefect-ship this November of 2012, partly due to my mother tongue, partly because I desperately want to be organized. Ever since Nilam hit the east coast yesterday it's raining like malarial fever. Yet I woke up without any alarm at…
