7:35 Get up.
7:45 Tough decision. To bathe or not to bathe.
7:55 Conflict resolved. Water is scarce. No bath. Use obscene quantities of deo instead.
7:56 Drag feet to mess. Eat. Choke. Curse the mess. Curse the insti. Swear against God.
Direct Quote : "...Saala system hi kharab hai..."
- some guy to some other guy in the mess.
8:00 Reached the Lecture Hall. Somebody proposes sitting in the front. Promptly assaulted with a generous dose of profanities. Back benches secured. Ahh! Life's good.
8:45 Brainwash.
9:30 Brainwash.
Somebody says something about some new CS strategy. Hailed as Ishtuud. Everybody on the bench wide awake for 2 mins and 56 secs.

11:oo Break. Walk the marathon from insti to Hostel.
11:20 Eat. Too drained out to swear.
11: 30 Invitation for a CS quickie. Tension in the air. Frank exchange of viewpoints in the lobby. [Read cussing and yelling @ top volume for the next half an hour.]
Direct Quote: (Censored) ;)
12:00 Hell. It's that time of the day again. Walk the marathon in reverse gear.
12:45 Some lab. Alchemy apparatus all around. Try not to break anything.
12:50 Teacher distributes ciphers on paper. Everybody busy jotting useless information
they'll never need.
Ishtuud Quote: "This is stupid. Everybody's gonna die someday so what's the point of doing anything. I'd rather savour the moment. Hey, look at her!"
(Dirty looks from the non-ishtuuds.)
3:00 Ordeal over. Marathon not.
3:20 Back in the hostel. Fling bag. Change. Check mail. Facebook. Frantic phonecalls.
Direct quote: "Oye baencho...CP mein mil..."
3:35 Meetings fixed @ CP/OC/PMC.
4:00 Passionate discussions about whether HP Envy 15 Quad Core, i5, 4 GB DDR3, scores

Ishtuud Quote: "Well... on a scale of 1 to 10, i would give this meal a C+."
10:00 CS invitation. Full concentration.
11:00 Ishtuud Quote: "Man...everybody's a pro in this game...i bet India could kick everybody's ass if we had it in Olympics..."
