Oh, Such A Perfect Day!
The day started early. Somehow yesterday night I could not sleep so I kept reading Stephen King till about 4 in the morning but surprisingly got up at about 9 am on my own. Since I had no idea what one does this early in the morning ('coz its been a while since I've woken up before noon), I decided to do what all red-blooded males dream of doing - I washed my car. :) After a pain-staking 1/2 an hour work, my car was looking spick-and-span, and I was looking proud.
At about 11, I had a pre-placement talk to attend which, surprisingly, I really wanted to, because it was the same company where I had done my summer internship and I had grown really fond of the guys who were coming over for the talk. I entered the hall 5 minutes before the starting time and I was greeting by a loud "Hi buddy, how come your phone was off?" from across the hall. That felt nice.
After the talk, I took the guys, who had come from Bangalore, around for some Mumbai lunch - mainly this Mumbai dish called 'Pav-Bhaaji'. Throughout the time, not for a single moment did I feel that I was sitting with my one-time employers - it felt as if we were friends. Those guys were only too anxious to ramble on about their student-lives. At the end of lunch I was gifted a $20 copy of the history of the company - and it was personally signed. Again - nice!
Another talk followed in the evening by some bald US dude who somehow looked funny getting out of the good-old yellow-and-black Indian taxi. He gave a damn good talk but every time he smiled he looked like the lead from the movie 'Natural Born Killers'. That was a little scary!
After the talk, I had to go buy some formal clothes for myself. I was joined by a couple of friends who had nothing better to do the rest of the day. So off we went to a nearby mall. Although my original intention was to buy a single formal shirt, I also ended up buying a Rs. 6000 formal suit. I learnt two things though - 1. Never enter a formal suit shop wearing a Nirvana tee and cargos; 2. I look DAMN GOOD in suits.
Dinner was at McDonalds; it had been a while since I'd been there. It was followed by chocolate mousse donuts for dessert and, boy, were we feeling bloated.
Came back to IIT where I was offered a chance to become a core member at a new start-up.
