Apart from one late-morning class, most of 13th was spent sleeping. There was a bonfire and dancing, on the football field, as part of Lohri celebrations on campus. Later that night, we tried getting some studying done for the Mathematical Modelling Quiz on the 14th. Of course, we were pretty unsuccessful. We sat around listening to music instead. I was then up, watching a movie.

I was woken up at noon, on the 14th- Makar Sankranti/Pongal! We then tried our hand at reading through some notes; we then had a CSI class post-lunch. This class involved only presentations- on different scams that have taken place since India has been a free country. The scams included the Black Money holed up in Swiss banks, the CoalGate scam, the Andhra Pradesh Land scam and the 2G scam. The professor managed to find enough topics for the whole batch! (The presentation was in pairs.)
Soon after, was the quiz i.e. at 4 p.m. We wandered off to the Medical Centre after, and ate chocolate cake and ice-cream at the PiShop later. This was followed by dosa and tea at the mess, post which we made our way to the basketball court for the match. It was our team v/s Team Monika (also of the 2012 Batch). The score, surprisingly, was 3-2. We won, though! The Basketball League began on 13th evening with a Boy’s Match. It shall continue for the next few days, now.
Soon after the match, Mr. Upendra Singh, who’s recently written a book titled ‘A Perennial Stream’ was on campus. He’s having a book launch in Indore, in the second week of February and, we’ll be working with him on that. Got to have dinner with him and Director Sir; life’s good.
The junior batches have been having exams/quizzes; there’s a Money, Banking & Finance End Term for the 2013 Batch, on the 16th. Post the dinner, there was a meeting at 10:15 p.m. The meeting dealt with the Media/PR vertical of our upcoming Sports Fest, Ranbhoomi. Some ideas were discussed; new ideas were generated; everyone’s looking forward to working on the fest.
