There were two mid-terms today, one on International Relations and one for Drama. We’d been grouped in pairs and had to create a short play that revolved around a piece of paper. The piece of paper could be used to roll up & eat bhel-puri out of, as a photograph, as a piece of evidence, the works!

There was just a meeting with the Hostel & Student’s Affairs Office, regarding the progress of our fest work. It was such a different atmosphere from the last time we were there. Last time, we were all clueless and enthusiastic. This time, we were happy to see that good progress has been made, while enthusiasm is now coupled with pragmatism.

The Hostel & Student Affairs Office is sure having a busy day. They were here, to ‘check’ our rooms, mainly for substance and prohibited items in the morning. They also looked over the rooms that are to be allotted to the new batch girls. Then, the fest meeting that took a good 2 hours. And, now, they’re planning to shift some IPM boys from one block to another, to make space for the new batch!

The last patch of undone road, near Gate 3 has been spotted and work is in progress, even in the rain! It should be ready in a week or so. Our very own 26 Hills which had ceremoniously moved inside campus has now shut down. They’d decided to move onto campus when the PGP batches were out, which obviously let to a large decline in their footfall. I hear they’ve moved back to their original location, near Mashal. Which is not too far from campus either, so , it’s a win-win for everyone!

The skies finally held up, after almost 48 hours of non-stop rain. It’s gotten nice & chilly; I even see people with hoodies. I absolutely love the weather; standing atop the IIM-Indore hill (Prabandh Shikhar), looking out across green fields. You see mountains afar, capped with mysterious, voluminous bundles of clouds and a sky that is banded in dull silver, an almost purple, blue and black. The late-evening sky is a dreamy amalgamation of the darkest blue and the lightest purple; the sky is deep blue, like an endless abyss leading to the bottom of a still, swift-flowing river.
