Well I returned to Kolkata on the 22nd of December.The more I think about it the sadder I feel.I have to go back to Toronto in just 4 days.I never realized it but Kolkata is a really vibrant place.Toronto is well perfect,disciplined,organized,one of the most beautiful cities in the world.But Kolkata is home.Yes,I cant believe I just said something like that but that's the truth.While walking on the smooth roads there I actually missed the gutted streets of Kolkata,the occassional screaming and shouting,the sheer joy of getting wet in the rain and the very spirit of home.
After 4 days I have another 4 months ahead of me that is unless I have to repeat courses.Oh well,another semester,another quarter of a year.I cant help but feel immensely sad.One of the things I really missed was the food.After having so much bland food in the last few months,even the most dull of Indian recipes seemed like heaven to me.I really wish I could spend some more time at home but it cant be helped.
I have to fill in someone's diary :) and I got the best birthday gift ever this year :D.I'll miss everyone especially someone and I guess I'll see you all in a few months again :):)

Finally an update!!!
Whooaa!!I've been engaged in labs,cds'(dont even get me started on those things),quizes,midterms,appointments and final exams for the last 2 months so I havent been able to update my blog recently.
The last 2,no make it 3.5 months have been the most hectic months of my life till now.I have NEVER been flooded with this much work in my entire life(uptil now).It makes me wonder,if the first semester is this painful then how will the rest of the 5 years be?It's a dreadful thought which I would rather not think about for the next couple of weeks.
Oh well,the winter break is on!!!!!!2 weeks of work and relaxation for me!Yaay!And no that isnt a typo.I definitely need a strong headstart for dynamics and calculus and engineering strategies at least so I can emphasize more on the other 2 courses next semester.
Well,enough discussion about work.Let's talk about the subject of taste buds.I have no intention of ever having thai food again,except under the most compelling of circumstances.Not that it is bad.It is actually quite good but the monotony of having golden fried rice and spring rolls over and over for a week doesnt seem to attractive to me.AAh and yes the food is BLAND,TASTELESS,BEYOND SENSORY PERCEPTION(you can come up with any synonym you like).And whenever they served chicken in the hostel,they generally served either boneless(aaaaaaaargh) or large bony pieces which(following the culture)we must eat using a fork and knife.Now personally,it took me about 20 minutes to cut that infernal piece of roasted meat up using a mere knife and fork and it was downright frustrating!For heaven's sake, just when your tastebuds are iching to savour the large roast in front of you,your knife is lodged in a bone and your fork is banging against the plate!Damn!
All said and done the last few months have been a learning experience in more ways than one.Let me share a few lessons with my few readers:
1.STUDY HARD FROM THE BEGINNING OR YOU WILL DIE.
2.LEARN TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN GROUPS OR YOU WILL DIE.
3.STAY IN UNIVERSITY FOR MOST OF THE DAY AND DONT WORK IN YOUR ROOM.A LAPTOP CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING.
4.SLEEP PROPERLY.
5.LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST NEVER EVER GET YOUR KNIFE STUCK IN A CHICKEN'S BREAST AND YOUR FORK IN THE BONE(THE SEQUENCE IS CORRECT)YOU MIGHT JUST END UP WITH A FLYING PIECE OF CHICKEN.
See ya guys in a couple of days!:):)
