Final year and the Baddy rituals! :D

We are the final years, the mighty mighty final years...
The sounds echo in my ears and I exclaim in ecstasy yippie, we are in final year now! Times we had been waiting for have finally arrived. Three years of hard work(not really :D) are over and here we are, breathing the air of freedom! Coming into final year, we witnessed several changes, change of rooms for instance.....we live on the ground floor now; the much coveted courtyard of the hostel is now ours.... it is accessible to one and all but our supremacy prevails!:):)
Now, associated with final year girls and the courtyard is the sport of badminton, our beloved baddy that happens to be the centre of this post. For the past three years I had never been active in any sports/games; but final year has brought in sudden transitions and that too surprising ones; the racquet I hadn't even touched is now a favourite with me, I like to play everyday, I like to serve shots(atleast I try to :P), I like being energetic and active on the court, I like the smash sounds when the shuttle cock hits the racquet, I am a little disappointed on giving a bad show, I wish to improve with every game....I realize I am engrossed in the game and I love this feeling!
The game means a lot of things to me, first and foremost I find it a good means of physical exercise, considering my repeated attempts to thin down, this could be a significant contributor. Then I pass some of time playing the game, a channel that helps me do away with boredom. Also a means through which I catch up with friends I otherwise didn't interact with much.
More importantly, I think the game would serve as a link between many of us batchees.....we play in the evenings, enjoy together, chit-chat.....we had never done all this before. We have now started connecting to each other, our joys are shared, we laugh together and cherish every moment of our final year! The feeling of being one batch has crept in and is being strengthened by baddy.
You know what badminton is not "bad" it is goodminton rather! :P
Thank you dear wonderful sport.....!!

And finally it rained..!:)

Quite a long time that I didn't blog, yeah I was busy for sometime, lazy on several occasions... and I can give numerous excuses! Right now, I am free and I am relaxed plus I am cool, thanks to the beautiful showers that blessed us lately!
I had stayed in my hostel for the two months of the summer break. The thoughts of the heat that would welcome me here in Allahabad had been haunting me since long, but I came to brave all conditions; to my very pleasant surprise, it rained and rained through June making life here really easy and comfortable. But then all good things last for a while and only a while!! July came and brought in some tormenting conditions back with it. There we were sweating all the time, trying to fan ourselves with all possible resources in a desperate attempt to beat the heat. It was getting difficult, almost impossible and especially because we lazy creatures hadn't shifted our coolers to our new rooms! Instead we chose to bear with the scorching heat and humidity...aahh! It had begun to seem that rains had been lost and the sun having defeated all the black clouds was dominating the sky. There was a solar eclipse a few days back, how I wished that the sun should keep hiding for a long time so that we on earth could have sighs of relief! But if wishes were horses, I would ride them!!
It was only two days back that we finally decided to get our coolers down. And after hours of wandering, we succeeded. The idea of filling the coolers with buckets(in the absence of our beloved pipe) was still bothering us...it could take us another couple of days to give up this part of our laziness.
But all our labour was saved....infact we were saved....it rained and it rained and it rained :)
The clouds poured down droplets like never before, the rain hit the ground and drenched us. We welcomed those showers of blessings with full heart. We had our celebrations, got wet and posed for pictures(our favourite climax to every event :D)
Thank you heavens for the downpour! We're relieved and we are blessed!
