XL uninterrupted!!

                               

    Writing for the XL times does give one the feeling of belonging to the alma mater which has been our home for the past five months.It is a place to blog about experiences with the people, the place and life in general.It is interesting to see the same place and situations through the eyes of some one else. It just goes to show the myriad ways in which we interpret and experience the same events. 

     First of all beginning with myself. I am short, sweet and simple with a dash of sarcasm and dollops of quirk.  My imagination knows no boundaries and I seldom take the beaten path, often wandering off on my own or with friends having the same aberrant gene. A doctor by profession having forayed into the tmtwr of Xl is some indication of the same. Travelling is my passion and I mean to cover all the places on the list I have before my joints become too creeky to move. Even then I’ll probably zoom around in my wheelychair but hopefully the world would have invented jet packs by then to spare me the trouble. I would rate myself as an ‘exceeds expectations’ as a singer, ’ a have feet will prance’ as a dancer and an ‘oh swoon she is so good’ as a whistler. I write some deep stuff occasionally and some random pearls of crap pretty often.

      After harping my own praises I would like to talk about how I find XL to be my kind of place. With the late nights, the music flowing from bodhi, my gregarious classmates, life is pretty happening and fun here. The studies are entirely alien to me. From studying Medicine and Surgery when I took to studying QT and MANAC, there were definitely times when I wanted to run screaming for the hills. The sheer amount taught in the short span of time seemed unsurmountable at first. But through the aid of my ever helping batchmates, things seemed within reach.

      There is so much to do, so many deadlines to meet, friends to catch and chat up with that you dont get the time to get bored. I think we all will recall vividly what a living hell the first week was. The sleepless days, the assignments....I still get shivers when I think about how I got cold feet about my MBA decision then. Nevertheless, events like the MAXI Bazaar and Nukkad Nataks kept our spirits alive. Before we knew it we were part of the XL culture, speaking the lingo, enjoying the wet nights and taking the deadlines in our stride. 

With the passing semesters the life here has given us the memories of the outbound and the village trips where we displayed team work and tested our stamina to the hilt. I feel like I have learnt so much after coming here and I am not referring to the studies alone. 

XL is special already....glad to be here. XL meri jaan!!
