Out of the Schedule

Well this weekend was a great one indeed!!probably b'cos (for a change) it was not in the AC Labs of IIT Kgp CS Dept but in the scorching heat of Calcutta...;-).....
Left our hostel right in the morning , we were around 6 ppl..all from my college IT BHU.
Caught the local train to Howrah at abt 8:30,(I must admit that the local train service is really good!!and I m highly in the favour that such a service shud soon b started b/w Kanpur & Lucknow)...anyways,thats not my "load".. hehehe, this is IIT Kgp local lingo amongst those most common "pain" &"peace" stuff.
Got down at Howrah station at abt 11:15, went to one of my classmates home......had some snacks & keeping in mind the limited time span in our hands to explore the whole Cal, soon left his place for the City Centre not too far away.Well nothing too great abt that Mall, its just the same as those usual ones....cud manage for very little shopping, and then watched the movie 'Bunty And Bubbly" in the multiplex...the movie was far less than my expectations & majority of us were regretting to ruin the whole day inside the Hall.
Anyways, it was my 4th trip to Calcutta so it didn't matter much to me, but it was not the case with all of us.But we knew that whole city was not at all one day cake, so it was fine...
Somehow managed abt 20 mins exploring of Science City, but that too in vain cos more that half of it was already closed.
And then landed the train after dinner at abt 9:30 at night.One of my classmate stayed back at
his cousins place there so we were now 5 in no.All of us were dead tired, but then we again didn't fail to be a source of entertainment for the crowd around us.Unlike usual times , when we were scolded for making noise in the late night journeys when we r in group, this time ppl seemed to enjoy our company, may b cos this time it wasn't the sleeper coach but a general one:-).....so the poor ppl were left with no other option than to bear us. We decided to play the rapid-fire Antaakshari( the place seemed to b too crowded to play Dumb-charades),
and to tell truth it was one of the most enjoyable duration than the rest of the hectic day, Sometimes we were singing the songs, that were highly unheard of...that was all fun !!.Subin , a guy in my team seemed to b highly lazy to sing a song...but not too lately, he also joined in with full vigour & didn't fail to rescue the team at times when we were really stuck.When we were left wid no more songs, we decided to shift on to simple Antaakshari involving movie names.
Back to the lab now , I think its really high time that I shud get serious abt my work and leave for my home as soon as possible.So will be blogging sometime later now, if I manage to get ample leisure time....till then Wish me luck for my work for which I m here.
