No longer The U.S.

Right. So I haven't updated in like...two months, cause I've been busy with engineering college admission procedures.

But that's done now! I've got into Don Bosco Institute Of Technology for B.E. IT, and I'm happy as a lark. (Even though my marks weren't good)

So, I guess this means I'm not the Unwilling Somaiyaite anymore, (except on a metaphorical level, if you assume the word 'Somaiyaite' to be a euphemism for an attitude of Disinterested Conformism of the worst kind), even though for the last few months I've barely posted anything Somaiya-related at all. I guess I'm tired of whining about college life. That means the blog title has to change...

I'd want to keep the 'Life and Times...' bit, but I'm not sure what the rest of it should be.

I'd switch URLs too, but then the people who have linked to me will have to change their blogrolls, and I want to spare both of them the inconvenience.

So now I open the comments to this post for discussion. What do I call my blog now, or should I make a new blog entirely? I welcome suggestions from my readers (all four of them)...

Shout Out...

Well,haven't made a post since a long time. Or at least I haven't made a coherent post which actually has something to do with college or life in general since last year.

Lots of stuff has gone down since then. 12th over, IIT-JEE over, lined up for AIEEE and hoping to score in CET.

But the key thing to note here is that with the exception of going back to pick up my CET hall ticket, I probably never have to set foot in Somaiya anymore.

I'm no longer an Unwilling Somaiyaite. Which is of course suh-weet. But at the same time somewhat bitter. Bittersweet, if you will.

Make no mistake, that's not because I've suddenly fallen in love with that ol' dump. On the contrary, after running about for 3 days to finally submit my CET form, I'm hatin' it more than ever.

What I do miss though, are some of the people. Stuck in the same situation as me. Making it easier to deal with through humor. At least, sometimes.

I've switched many schools in my day, making me an educational nomad of sorts,
But it never gets any easier, leaving behind all the peeps that stuck with you. They always end up left behind. It's something you need to accept. No matter how many social networking sites you're on, no matter how many times you call them in a day, it's going to fade out eventually. Leaving them as one friend out of the thousand that you have on Facebook.

Which brings me back to the topic of the post. It's a Shout Out to all my buddies out there, who put up with me for the last two years.

At College, in no particular order- O.K. (a.k.a Dev D), Creative Influence, Who didn't flinch no matter how many F-bombs I ended up dropping. Akshay, who discovered that the most bearable part of college was the Ice Tea. Gautam- Fellow Anime Fan, Abhay, Ninad, The twins- Anta-Banta, Akhil and everyone in K.N.V.B. Shyam, who will probably be a Virgin. Bastard. fo' life. Nikhil J, stoned out bathroom singer and Lab Partner.

Appreciate you guys, hope we keep in touch...
