Been quite some time since I posted anything...and come to think of it, quite some time since I wrote anything at all...no blogs no diary and the last time I wrote a poem/fiction was more than a month back! Perhaps I've forgot to pack my writing instincts in my luggage.
So I might just end up with a mediocre post here. But whether or not I do that, and whether or not I'm able to narrate all the happening things that keep happening in my life all the time, I shall post anyway!
When I started writing this post I was juggling between cooking lunch, eating breakfast and washing clothes. I left it in between to go to a class and then shopping and now I juggle a late lunch with room cleaning. Howzzat for multitasking!
But anyway, 'housewife-ish' harkate notwithstanding (and yeah, let me mention here that, just the way I've been boasting about it to everyone these days, I realise I can cook pretty decent food! Me and some others who I sometimes cook for actually eat it and like it. Wow!) life is pretty interesting. Classes have begun since a week, and I've already bunked more in five days than I did last semester at IIT!! Many of them have been because the timings clash and I can only be at one place at one time, and then most courses do not have attendance here, so if it is a really boring futile class like the one I should have been at the moment in, I just don't go! :D
Sweden is corrupting me, isn't it?
And a place where beer is cheaper and much more easily available than water is likely to corrupt anyone don't you think? Thank God it's not that cold yet, even though it'd getting cooler everyday (13 degrees already) so I can resist getting drunk at the moment...
As for studies, I really like classes here (yes I bunk but I still like them). They're so much cooler than back home, and I've made such an intelligent choice in courses that at the moment, none of them have an exam, only projects group work and assignments, which means I'm gonna keep really hectic till mid-October, and also that I'm gonna make some amazing friends by working in groups with them. There's a lot that IITs can learn from here, esp cooler profs. And by that I don't just mean cute profs who you won't mind just looking at even if you don't really listen to them, I mean profs who are obliged if you go to there class, who apologise if they forget to print the schedule which is on the web, and who would call the author of the book a bastard for using tough language in the text in class. This place can learn from IIT too. The students here are invariably smarter than the teachers, at least that's what I felt, and these people have succh weird class schedules! More on this later...

It's getting cooler, and it rains -- no, it pours -- almost everyday, but I still like roaming about in half sleeves and wearing jackets only when my 9pm class ends or if it's raining.Infact weather is the most dominant thing on everyone's mind here, but good weather or not,I make it a point to go out and explore the place when I have the time and mood. LikeI did last weekend when I had a rocking time with a friend, and luckily the weather often holds up till I decide toreturn home! :D
This place is good, beautiful and very comfortable, but India has it's own characteristic fervour that i miss some time. It wasone ofmy Indian freind's bday day before, and we celebrated it at night pure junglee Indian style, pouring cake and cream and what not on him and eventually us too. I miss being at college with all the noise and fun, but I wish to enjoy the peace and beauty of thisplace while it lasts. It's awesome, I have friends now from all over the world and the list is growing with every single day and esp every single class, and living independently has a charm that's almost addictive. You are free to be jealous if you wish, but I love this place anyway.:D
The only thing is, I love India too, and I love India more, so once this four-month period ends, whether or not India has this kind of silence and peace (and emptiness), whether or not it has all the facilities and infrastructure there exists here, whether or not I get to learn five international languages in one class, whether or not there are hunks and sexy babes wherever youlook, whether or not I get so much time to do things myself, I don't care, I shall still embrace MY home with more warmth than ever. I miss you people.

Yeah that would have been so sogood, had it been possible. Swedish people would have paid me for prolongin the summer and Indian people wouldhave paid me for making life easier there..
wow!
so much for multitasking!!!
did sweeden corrupt you or made u to discover urself... i can be phiolosophical :D I believe the no attendence rule can really corrupt anyone on this planet.
[chandu]
i hope it's the latter...
i have lived with many no-attendance-reqd classes last two yrs and managed>95% attendance..depends on the course you know..ther's one here that i routinely bunk, but then ifi tell u what it is about it deserves to be bunked. none of what is told in the lectures is relevant in anyway exceptfor someone who has an over the top interest inbiotech
