This time, I was specially looking forward for Diwali holidays as the entire week was off excluding Monday. Almost everyone ran home the previous Friday. That meant only one thing..extremely low attendance for the Monday lectures. And as a general rule in my attendance rule book, I made sure that I am present for lectures when others bunk. To my disappointment, the Monday class wasn't that empty. I guess, others are also following the same rule..

After the lecture, came back to hostel and decided to watch a movie. Asked Thakur if he had any, and though he was extremely busy in his studies, sent me a hot movie (I am not going to disclose the name!) over ip-messenger. It turned out that the movie was so hot that my comp couldn't handle it. Suddenly, it hung and started making some really scary sounds. As I investigated the problem, came to know that the hard disc's head had got stuck and crashed. After an hour long fight to resurrect my comp I gave up. I was really pissed over loss of my data including a huge collection of songs and snaps taken with my digicam. Since my CD writer was out of order for last couple of months, hadn't taken any backup.

To get away from all the frustration, I decided to freak my a$# off this Diwali and went home. Broke the resolution of not burning crackers, and burned hell lotta fancy items on Laksmi Pujan...

NM was back from Saudi for diwali so a few of my VCET friends decided for a get-together. AP was proactive and booked tickets for "Garam Masala". Sallu, Mani, Cheeky, Motu, Nikku, AP, NM and Me...We were meeting after a huge gap, almost a 6-7 months.

After having lunch in a restaurant, we went for the movie. When AP showed us the ticket, all of us got a huge jolt. Each ticket was costing whooping 160 bucks..which is extremely expensive considering it was second row from the screen. Later I came to know that with that money you can buy almost a kilogram of garam masala in market. The movie was strictly OK. NM and Sallu were attempting to recover some of the money by laughing out loud over typical jokes. Paresh Rawal was the only plus point. A cameo by super hotty Neha Dhupia is all I am gonna remember of that movie....

Thats how I celebrated my diwali, a hard disc crash, lot of cracker burning and a kg of garam masala which has burned out my tongue (I am eating Ice cream since... :p )
