It’s strange being up in the morning, when the first class of the day is only at 11:45.

21:13:

And, I fell asleep right after writing that one line. So much for change.

Talking of change, new Class Representatives for the year have been appointed. There are 4 CR’s – one male, one female from each section.

The last couple of days have been weird, with no Football Matches keeping me up till 4 am. So, the lot of us have begun playing cards, late into the night. On our very first tryst with cards, Oshin promptly informed us that playing cards in the hostel is not allowed. Of course, we explained that gambling isn’t allowed, but, our perfectly innocent card games are fine! I’ve learnt 4 new card games in 2 nights. I’ve also managed to reinforce the fact (well, to myself) that I’m terrible at ALL card games.

It’s that time of the year when our MediClaim (Medical Insurance) policies are to be renewed. Somehow, the premium keeps increasing every year, though I don’t quite follow how or why.
Anyway, being a group insurance for the whole campus, the premium is quite low.

Our daily library-basement, 10 p.m. meetings, dedicated solely to planning our fest, Atharv are more enthusiastic than ever before! We’re less than two months away and there’s so much happening, so much to be done!

Our course on Public Administration is proving to be a very informative one. The professor is very enthusiastic and very humble, despite being very renowned in his field. Concepts like Authority, Power, State, the Government, Systems and the Bureaucracy are ones that we often talk about, oft with little understanding. It’s fascinating to see how such abstract concepts are well depicted and explained in documented literature.
