Last week..had a blast!!!! It was CHRISTMAS eve.. Thanks to the DJ night arranged by our inhouse DJs..Aman and Ankit...We partied till late into the night...in the BHAGIRATHI hall where we usually have guest lectures 
..But it was certainly not the day for such an activity when we had such a strong reason to let loose...and rock...
A week passed by and in fact the party fever started a couple of days ago itself when we came to know that IFMR was arranging to buy new 8000 WATT!!!!!! mammoth sized club speakers ..Now tonight my only hope is I return from the party as a single piece 
..
Waiting for tonight...tonight....:drinking::drinking::drinking:
Its been a hectic fortnight. Exams started right from the beginning of the new year and we had an exam on pongal too!! Blasphemy especially if you are from Tamil Nadu. Night Life at campus has its own charm. The most commonly used lingo @ ifmr these days is -"trade-off". Exm tym makes us kinda expert in managing these trade offs-
Should i stay in study room for 30 more mins or gulp down quick coffee and munch onto hot maggie
Should i complete this chapter or do i have time to squeeze in one game of badminton?
Between all this we are working on an exceptional course called "corporate history"- wherein we are supposed to give an research based analysis on evolution of a particular company. Had video graphed presentations for the same in front of industry professionals couple of days back.
Finance Summit is approaching fast and people here are buzzing around to visit BSE who are organizing the summit in tandem with IFMR. Should be an enthralling experience.
Between all this finally i see people strolling around and sitting relaxed in front of TVs - yup exams are over, However the solace is short-lived as third trimester begins from monday.
Life has been real hectic at IFMR but somehow unknowingly we are breaking various intellectual barriers within. The learning environment here is tremendous. its almost like Knowledge floats in the air here.
Would be updating more soon from my side. Exciting times ahead!
Thank god...the exams got over..I have stopped putting on weight ...
My menu during the exam week:
1) 10:00 pm - one pepsi/7 up - to raise the energy levels
2) 12:00 am - ONE chai or sometimes 2- to evade sleep
3) 12:00 am - 1 egg maggi , bourbon biscuits , Flavoured milk- Turbo recharge
4) 2:30 am - 1 chai , 1 sandwich - late night masti
But it was great fun...have to wait for 2 more months..for all this to begin all over again..
