Signing off for a while

I haven't been active lately, and each time I come after a lull, I promise to be active; by now you must be wary of my promises. But this time, I am bent upon making an exception, I will not promise to be regular - in fact I am promising not to be regular.

But first let me take some time off to let you peek into my current affairs.

• First, my practical examinations start Monday and extend through Friday. The next week, I'll have my end-semester exams.
• And that reminds me - today was the last working day of the semester - I'll never forget this year. And my, did we work - I reached class at 07:27AM and was back at the room by 06:02PM. Yes, I did see my watch.
• Microsoft has communicated with me. I am due to start my internship stint on the 15th of May, for a period of 10 weeks at Microsoft India (R&D), Gachibowli, Hyderabad. Though I haven't yet got the travel allowance, people have started receiving it and my number shouldn't be far behind.
• Google has not yet sent its T-Shirt for CodeJam. I already have a Google T-Shirt, and 2 MS T-Shirts, hence eagerly waiting for Google to even the score!
• The Computer Science and Engineering Association, the most active association in the college, signed off with a valedictory function - in which I got three certificates and 2 T-Shirts. Why, after stone age came iron age, after which came the T-Shirt age. What do you say?
• The Pointer magazine, of which I am the Associate Editor made it to print. An electronic version will be released soon.
• The Department Web Team fell short of the deadline by around 6-8 hours. The web site work had to be suspended for 3 months, for these 6-8 hours.
• A new college web team has been formed. There are some new players - I wonder how all this will turn out - there is my friend Nero, there's SG, VD, juniors PV, VR and RD and many more. We are to work together as a team. The only hitch might be that PV is too enthusiastic, and idealistic, and impractical - on top of it, he is one of the persons doing the maximum amount of work - sometimes I wonder how Managers manage to manage?

After the examinations, there are the summer vacations. I'll spend a week at home and then 10 at Hyderabad. I don't think I'll post during that period. But I'll get back after that. Till then, adieu.
