Am already ruing the missed chances of an extended vac

It’s just a few days since I returned from home n I am already regretting my decision of not having bunked a few weeks of coll. There is virtually no class that is gonna be held this week with maths being an exception as always. Anyways don’t mind maths since proxies in that class are as easy as finding an Indian idiot getting paid millions for some silly job in America. I seriously don’t find any reason why I shouldn’t have bunked a few weeks but everything said the fact is that even if we have just a class everyday as we are, I am back in coll n have to stay here. The rest as they say is history.

The 10 days at home was gr8 as it always is. The first few days were hectic with a lot of travelling to do and a trip to Mannargudi (a place 40kms away from my residence where my cousin resides) and a trip to my native were the main objectives of that journey but there were a few more diversions to take on the way. When I was in Mannargudi I had spoken to a cousin who had just joined her B.Tech(C Sc) course in Panimalar Engg College, Chennai. She told me about the schedule they had to follow n about the rules in her college and let me tell you I didn’t have to follow as many rules even in my school hostels right from my 1st std. Anyways my best wishes to my cousin Uma and God save her. Then my bike did the rounds for the next few days n it also did a few visits to the theatres. But none of the movies I watched deserve mention so forget that. And a visit to SASTRA rounded off an equally good 10 days at home. I did meet my friends at SASTRA and had a good chat.

And now for some serious issues the frequent power cuts in Tamil Nadu are the talk of the town. And guess what from the last week onwards the news is that there will be power cuts for 5hrs in Chennai and 6.5hrs in the rest of Tamil Nadu. The times I have mentioned are not per week but per day!! I was fortunate that since my residence was in the most active part of the city we had no power cuts. Just a few houses along with mine were spared from the darkness. This acute shortage in power has made the condition of the people in Tamil Nadu pathetic. Life was seriously taking a turn through hell for people in Tamil Nadu. It is very common to see people praying to god to “bring light into their live or to make their lives bright” but this time god for a change seriously bring “LIGHT” into their lives.
