shaastra day1- the journey to the ends of endurance

oh boy ..

its been a stuggle getting to where i am rite now.... :)

train


after a 12 hour train journey accompanied by great ppl as well as some unwanted co-passengers (like the arse-hole in the side seat who kept complaining about the noise we were making, and of course the cockroaches) we finally made it to chennai central.

measly dinner the night before..
4 hours of sleep because of some wierd reason on the perch-berth.
teh Rs.6 coffee served in a cup the size of theone used to drink khaava in left a bad taste in the mouth early in the morning...

taxi(van??)


after a lot of hagglng (mostly lead by chitts, sadu and febin.. if i knew what the van guys were saying i might have got involved.. ;) )we finally set foot on the hallowed grounds ( :P ) of IIT Madras... almost a day before the SHAASTRA 08 really starts...

this part of my life is called walking :P


its about 3km from the main gate to the hostel...
there were in total 84 -3(jeff,kadi,vinu) waiting for the buses which give a free ride round the campus to mahanadi hostel...

one bus came .. one bus left with around 50 ppl and 100 pieces of luggage..
i wasnt one of the 50 and my 2 pieces of luggage weren't part of the 100 ...
so a group of vagabonds in kenneth, sweetin,et al and myelf set off to make our own way...

the only problem was that we made a new way and ended up 2km away from where we wanted to be...

a bus saved the day and we reached ..

right!

man there is a lot more to write about the happenings of the day.. i am now 1/3 of 1/2 of day 1/5

but if i spend my time writing then nothing new will happen ..
so i must be off...
