Back to reality

I’m back! My semester holidays were mostly spent in a holiday trip to Malaysia, Singapore, Delhi and Varanasi. It was good. I saw a lot of new places, met a few really awesome people, got tired of planes, loved the city lights at night and the long drives during the day, lived out of a suitcase and missed home like crazy. Whatever said and done, there’s no place like your own hopelessly messy room.

I’ve started college again and it is as horrible as it has always been. My ex-HOD now takes class for me and I’m going crazy. A couple of my other staff are equally rage-inducing. Also, Chennai is scorching hot! It’s really bad and if there’s a power cut, we’re doomed for the rest of the day. Even a few hours without any air conditioning is intolerable.

Oh, and I blew up my computer. Again. There was smoke coming out of the CPU and everything. I have no clue why or how it happened. I attract computer trouble like a saree shop attracts my mom. I’m resigned to it, sadly. However, this does seem like a bad omen. Maybe I’m in the wrong professional line. I don’t think people will like me blowing up systems when I’m a software engineer.
