day 0 at the academy

it's amazing how many things you can worry about on a journey... none of those will go wrong but others will...
my biggest worry was my big bags... 25kilo each, they weighed more than i do... i was afraid of how i'd transport them and myself to the academy... turned out not such a hassle after all... a newly acquired friend, two of her brothers and one 2-minute taxi ride later, i was deposited at the academy... it is a sprawling place... sort of living in the middle of lalbagh, i described to my folks back home... or back in a denser, jungler, kharagpur... i was hoping to have the FC at Mussorie and landing instead at Bhopal was kinda disappointing... but since a lot of my memorable journeys have started with disappointing outlooks, i am hoping i'll have a grand time here!!

i have a shared room, newly painted(the paint is so fresh i have some on my fingers as i touched the doors!!)... the room mate is missing still since we have till 5pm tomorrow to arrive... there's the bare minimum furniture of two beds, a pair of tables and chairs and two cupboards... a full fledged AC!! (i've still to get over it!! coming from Blore where one rarely needs it!!) but the best part is the dinner!! lip-smacking, finger-licking good!!

though the LAN in my room doesn't work, there's a barely occupied computer lab to fulfil the basic needs of orkut, facebook, gmail and blogging...
more updates later!!
ciao!!
