BE, without the bar

Had a memorable evening at MIT on Friday – it was our Graduation Day, our turn to wear that yellow robe

Preparations for a bash at convocation had begun much early Trust us witches to use even the smallest opportunity to show our gethu ) After the er, slightly disastrous comments for the ‘uniform’ we wore last march (an older post has the pic), we took some care this time to choose a better dress. We spent some time on this hunt when a few of us had gone to visit the Bangalore witches last december. Needless to say, a lot of heads turned this time too (though not many negative comments about our selection this time.. or was it that no one was interested? ). And fortunately the ‘concerned’ people forgot to discuss the weight loss challenge between chennai and blore witches )

Coming to the event, I joined the witches at MIT (after a  *lite* breakfast that other witches will attest to ). We managed to escape the rehearsal session and visit their canteen. But then the main event also turned out to be such a bore that we could have safely stayed away from that hangar. We were given our certificates rather unceremoniously before the event started. Worst of all, they actually gave a printed copy of the chief guest’s address to the audience, before he event started talking.

Met a lot of folk at MIT and of course, heard a lot of gossip too.. it did go well, though I had this feeling of not having done better at college – for someone who has regularly been in the proficiency prize queue at school right from 4th standard to be nowhere near it all at college.. sniff !

=))

As an aside, I have been reading a highly interesting “A Short History of Nearly Everything”. My first book outside fiction and am enjoying it thoroughly.

cheers,

anusha
