The beach

Picture this - someone important in a college expires, a holiday is declared, and the students, instead of mourning, decide to make a day of it by going on the beach! Then something goes wrong at the beach - a day that started wonderfully for the students doesn't end as well as expected.

Sounds like fiction? Well, it isn't. This is exactly what happened with our class today. I wont go into the details, but please, if you do go to the beach in a group, be careful. A lot of mischief happens, most of it is not intended to harm anyone, but all you need is one wrong move and someone could get hurt.

It was good however that none of us lost our cool, and got the person hospitalized nearby. Most of us had no previous experience with emergencies, and thankfully, we did not do anything that put the victim into more trouble (although we did come to know later that one of the guys was performing a medical procedure the wrong way).

However, all is well that ends well. The person is now doing just fine. In fact, it turned out to be nothing serious. But maybe we were lucky. Don't let the same happen to any of you.

Adios ... ZEAL

Phew !! Just finished with the intra-college fest of ours, ZEAL 2005. Didn't take up much responsibilities this time, therefore I wasn't really that busy, like some of my friends. I have really begun to hate the politics at such fests - this time, too, there was a major argument among the event heads, with some of them threatening to resign. I still don't know whether matters have been settled yet.

Anyway, ZEAL has gone now, with me having burst balloons, threaded needles, scaled down a building, danced, sung ... etc. I also won the 2nd place in the mock interview. I had a lot of fun, and it's really disappointing to have to go to college now to sit in the classrooms.

BTW, my results came out a few days back. I passed with 60%.
