Day 4?? Hindi Test

there's an egg on my bed... a full, egg-shaped, chicken-egg in the middle of the bed... now, of all the places i'm used to seeing eggs, this is not a good one...
"who left it there??" i ask...
there's no one to answer as i am accidentally, incidentally and temporarily enjoying single-occupancy... though that doesn't include any peace and quiet any more...

apart from the egg, i've managed to acquaint myself with a lot of people here... i quite like the idea of just talking to people... though i'm overdoing it to an unhandleable degree... i meet people on the stairs, in the corridor, in the mess, on the badminton court who smile widely and i am not really sure of their name still... or even if i've talked to them yet... this in itself would've been innocuous enough but in the elections yesterday, they've marked my name as a member of the Mess Committee... while i slept off the remnants of the "Political Science Concepts: Part I"... not that i have to do much but if you know me, you'll know my fatal allergy to any kind of "Responsibility" however distant or indirect...

anyway, life's tough and has to go on... the classes are the toughest... we had one lecture today by an ex-IAS officer... totally fully of integrity and honesty... but man the topic he was talking on... i can't remember it right now but it sure was boring... i only woke up when he talked of his experiences in the Bhopal Gas Tragedy...

today's high point was the Hindi Test... i'm not really sure why learning that is so important... if you know and want to quote the relevant Articles of Constitution, please refrain... anyway it had some translation things, spelling corrections and stuff... corrections??? like i know the original to recognize the slight mistakes... translation were real tough... University, Clerk, Manager, Director... to the last one, i wrote "Prashant Mehta"... i hope it works...

coming back to the story of the egg, i go closer, pick it up... it's hard boiled... hmm... who would lay a hard boiled egg in the middle of a locked room... and then it all comes back to me... i was late for the class at breakfast... and the egg was too hot... so i got it to my room and before i could consume it, CC was hammering at my door...

mystery solved... dinner time!!
ciao!!
