KhuJLi..!

Yeah that's right....that's my dorm name. We had the solemn dorm-naming ceremony yesterday night, after the initial hoax naming where I was given the name "LoLita". Somehow LoLita created a bit of a spark which I liked, but KhuJLi would catch up too I'm sure. However, I must clarify that the name has nothing to do with the literal meaning of the word or its direct implications! The ceremony was a lot of fun though, thanks to the dorm tuchchas, especially our dorm maa! Quite a few interesting names were given to the other fachchas...."Zigolo, Chhin-Chan, PoomPu, 3Some" etc. Some of the names are surely gonna be a rage out here.

It's been a pretty chill ride so far, although I'm sure this is the last day of that journey. We've only had 1 quiz so far in almost 15 days of classes, so I expect the coming week to be loaded with quizzes, probably beginning with FARA tomorrow, so gotta get to mugging soon! Club and committee interviews are also in full flow, and will carry on through the week I suppose. I sure hope I get into one at least, given the intense competition among 400 odd fachchas! The prestige associated with getting into these clubs is enormous, and can do wonders for one's skills and self-confidence, apart from of course adding to one's CV.

Procrastination levels reach new heights on weekends, at least for now. It does tend to get a tad worrying at times, and we sometimes wonder whether we're relaxing a bit too much, but then that age-old Indian "chhod yaar, chalta hai" attitude manages to come to the fore. That being said, from this weekend, quizzes are always going to be at the back of our minds so there's motivation enough to get some serious work done at least through the latter half of Sundays.

Saw "Knight and Day" yesterday.....decided it wasn't worth writing a review about! It's been a while since I saw such a stupid movie, even though it was decently entertaining in the first half. Cameron Diaz is old, Tom Cruise is way too old! I think its about time they started considering parental roles..! Anyway, the most-awaited movie finally arrives next week - Inception! If the movie is even half as good as its trailer, then we're in for a real treat. Christopher Nolan (of Dark Knight fame) in that sense rarely disappoints, and I'm sure he won't this time either.

Well, I suppose that's about it for now.....will try to update this space as regularly as "WIMWI-ly" possible! Until the next....cheers...
