15 Oktober 2012.... They say that 22% more people have heart attacks on Mondays when compared to the average of other six days. Well, they must be pretty accurate. A weekend full of indulgence and sinful binges, when followed by an eye-opening Monday, would naturally make anyone's heart sink for a while. The luckier ones live on to have another binge the following weekend but the lesser fortunate guys just get hit! In any case, a heart attack no longer means necessary death (that is the good news) though life would never be same after that.
(Heart Attack or no heart attack, Monday forces you to do this)
(Thank God there are some First Aids like this available or else, a Monday could always be fatal!)
Fortunately, we all remained intact on this beautiful Oktober day. Weather had got a bit warmer suddenly, over the weekend, but things began to settle as the day chugged along. Needless to say, our ever freezing classmates, N and S, were at their wits ends while many others joined the chorus. The poor AC had to be switched on and off intermittently.
The CAT exam is on and our school lifts looked more impressive than before and rightfully so...
( Forget the photography part; just see the value added to the journey in a vertical plane)
(But then you have idiots who spoil the show!)
A few results were declassified today and as it happens with results, a mixed bag kind of a feel could be felt across the students. Our mid term has just got over and like a hungry wolf, the final exam is already staring at us. Now, whether we stare back or look elsewhere, the wolf would live on and attack us at the right moment. But as of now, the major concern of the students is yet another change that has come to haunt us! We were supposed to be meeting the wolf on 29th of this month but I believe, the fresh rendezvous is going to be on 01 November or so. Under normal circumstances, such a push to the wolf would bring cheers to students, situation here is different.
You see, majority of the students are from outside Delhi/NCR. That implies a substantial time required to travel to and fro from their respective native places during the upcoming festival season. Now, since the grapevine indicates change in the dates (and also that our preparatory session will also have organised classes), there are genuine apprehensions in the minds of such students about their ability or inability to visit their families during some of the most auspicious days of the year. There are also some gossips about school restarting on a Thursday or Friday (after Diwali) instead of a much liked Monday. While we do assume that management will help students spend quality time with their families, no clear cut inputs have been received till now. The most desired communication is awaited and I hope that someone clarifies the issue soon.
Another bug bear is the fact that our foreign language classes have not started yet. The delay could easily be attributed to us for not having given the choice in time. But the fact remains that someone, up the chain, could have got it extracted from a mob that we are. After all, when pending documents (MAT and degrees) had to be procured from the students, an innovative method had been applied. A similar action would have been in order. Unfortunately, it is gone with the wind. So, with this trimester, we stand to lose 20 sessions of Foreign Language unless we consider English to be a foreign language in the same category. Yoga sessions have dried up too, surprisingly!
Before I close for the day, let me share a good news with you all. I forwarded the proposal, for the bike ride to Ladakh next year, to the Director today. Now, lets wait for the outcome, keeping our fingers and toes crossed!!
TC and GN!!
