random thoughts...

happy days are here again!

its navratra season at IIM Indore and the festive cheer has spread all over campus!! there is a huge durga pandal put up outside the mess (although the idol inside very unfortunately happens to be a santoshi ma one! :D)
anyway, its a whole week of activities planned out with durga pujas and dandiya performances, rangoli making and rosgolla eating contests, lagori and kabaddi matches, tug-of-war, pot painting contests, a big bengali dinner..... phew!!
last night my room was full of people making ravan's heads!! it was a lot of fun drawing, painting, cutting... felt like i was a kid again...(though prem bai had a tough time this morning cleaning all the paint stains!) later in the night we had a practice session for the dandiya performance. well, it started off as practice but within no time it was a free-for-all.... it was so much fun! thats the great thing about dandiya, you can dance and dance and you'll never know how tired you are. (its only when you go to your room and start working on your assignment that you realize you dont even have the energy to walk the one step to your bed... and so end up sleeping on your comp! :D... been there done that! ;)
this evening we had the rangoli contest, pot painting, lagori and i think kabaddi is happening right now! and guess what!! my team won at lagori!!!! woo hoo!! (little extra enthu that comes with all this festive atmosphere!) honestly, the last time i played lagori was perhaps 10-15 years ago... its like at B-school, i get to be a kid again!
anyway... have huge assignments due this week. we had yesterday free (a free sunday is a rarity) and just one class today.... it has actually spoilt me... i dont feel like going for any more classes now..... im fed up!!!! i only want to dance dandiya and play lagori all day! (:D hee hee!!)
anyway, summs have just arrived for another round of dandiya practice... gotta go!
