15th August: VANDE MATARAM!!

Yes!! I could wake up at 8 30 to get ready for the 9 30 flag hoisting ceremony.. An interesting thing to note here. When I usually wake up at 8 30 for my 9 am lecture, at the back of my mind I do get tempted to sleep for some more time or even bunk that lecture.. But this day, I was eager to go to see the Flag Hoisting.. I think, it was in my third year of my engineering, that I had attended a formal Hoisting Ceremony.. 4 years later, I was about to witness a similar event.. And yes!! The feeling was awesome. I still get a kick when I stand facing our flag and listen to some patriotic songs.. Man!! It feels great to be an Indian..

Now, the second half.. We had our FHRM (Fundamentals Of HR Management) project submission the next day. We hadn't started and all of us, as in our group, was present on the eve of that private party held the day before. So, all of us were sleep deprived..

Result : All of us slept through the afternoon and by the time we got up, we realized, we were pretty much screwed.

So, we divided our work quickly and decided to work on it and complete it before the day end. So that we could devote the next day in the final formatting and some finishing touches. Now here was a twist in the tale.. There was a "wet night" planned that same night..

So, I skipped the wet night and did the project work: my part and some of the common jobs which come in the end.. Wasn't expecting my group people to finish their parts by day end. So tried to do some things which may save our time the next day. Acted like a responsible group member (self appreciation :P) and slept at 5 30 in the morning.. zzzz
