An average beginning to a cold January 9th resulted when the third back-up alarm rang... Trrrrrrriiinng! (I hate that noise) It's 7:30 a.m.! Automatically my self-defence mechanisms took over; my left arm swinging out involantarily to switch off the screaming thing... And well, I continued sleeping in the warmth of my blanket for a few minutes(or so I imagined)
I took a minute to brace myself for the intense cold that would attack me as soon as I stepped out, and then with a deep breath, emerged bravely out of the safety of the rug... My eye caught the clock...
OH MY GOD! It's 7:51...(An 8' o clock lecture) I jumped to the closet and snatched a handful of stuff(my eyes were still closed - so there's no way I could know what I'd taken.) Well, the 3 months of college life have taught me a few things... I need 3 and a quarter minutes to brush my teeth and do my thing, and another minute to pull some clothes on... Leaving a standard overhead of 30 seconds, I could reach the mess by 7:56...
I got there by 7:57(Darn! I'm getting rusty) Grabbing an apple and a burger I dashed for class... I reached at 8:03, Maths lecture, the prof was strict... He had the front door closed; but I've grown smarter in the short while I've spent here in IIT... I saw an opportunity in a gaping back-door and crept quietly into the class. Crawling behind the cover of a few tall benches, I reached the nearest occupied seat and slowly emerged from below when he was turning towards the marker-board to adjust it...
YES! I did it! (Should have been a WWII spy or something.) - I thought beaming widely... But who could have predicted that this would be the only day that the professor would forget his attendance register and the wouldn't be any! And there I sat, bored and sleepy, in a trance, for the next one hour...
We were free at 1 that day... No practicals, great! So I sank into my usual life again... Orkut, reading the newspaper, a novel or even a textbook, putting off taking a bath as much as possible and more boring Orkutting... (I sit there even when no one's around to scrap! Just keep switching between "Home" and "Scrapbook" in the hope that someone would scrap) It was evening after a looong time(I used to laugh at relativity till that day... how a few hours could feel like days! Damn!) Then came a scrap... One of those dastardly common scrap-to-alls (I hate them but still, it was a scrap!) It said, "Paste this Java script on your address bar and see the magic!" and then there was some Java scripting below... I was bored so I copied the whole thing and Ctrl+V on the address bar and Poof!! "Your Orkut profile has been deleted... Thank you for being with Orkut" I didn't believe it! Oh god, my internet life was ruined... Well, I felt helpless and stupid... How could I have been so dumb??
Anyways I wanted to do something which would save me from killing myself(...or hurting myself badly trying to do so) and also prevent me from venting out all the anger on the guy(the "friend") who had done this to me... So I sat down and started to create this blog in which I'm posting this first scrap now... So there it went... That average winter day
