DLPD-zindagi 1 jhand hai ka 'kyu' hai

Well I was unfortunate enough to be selected for the DLPD(distance learning program of BITS) invigilation here in Bangalore and thus had to get up at 6.45 am on Saturday(don't remember when I got up so early last). Reached there at 7.45 as instructed to us, and to my disappointment we started our work at 8.30 am( could have slept for 1 more hour :( ).But I was wise enough to be at the end of the queue and luckily got the corridor invigilation job. Staying there for 8 hours made me pity our teachers who used to do this job at all times. It really sucks watching students writing exams and making sure that no one copies. I was still able to roam in the corridors and take naps now and then but those in classes were having a really hard time..
I was so happy when it got over and went to watch Wall E with my friend. After that my friend(a chicken freak) insisted me to eat at Chicken County(supposedly the best chicken in town). I thought this will make my day better but I was in for a surprise(rather shock). The place was horrible and food even more. Had a fight with the manager and after long debate, got some rebate.Then I had craving for Barista and with my friend I went on its search to find police waiting to stop us.But I managed to ruff past them and was happy not to be caught. But it did not lasted long when my friend took me to some wrong way and we again landed up facing cops.The bargaining started at 2900 bucks and the cop came down to 200 after much resistance from my side. But then I saw a localite bruising past the cop without a helmet, and he didn't even care. I already had had enough for the day and could not take it anymore and the cop had to pay for that. I started shouting at him as to how they take advantage of students like us and blah blah and finally the cop had to give the money back to my friend :D.. a victory indeed in the end, I lost my craving and did not go to Barista. Just prayed that nothing happens till I reach home.
The best thing of the day was that I got to know that there was no power in our flat for the whole day and those fortunates who did not go for DLPD ended up doing nothing.Just a consolation though. But had enough ups and downs for a single day which prompted me to write this blog.

PS:had a chat with my friend the same night and my frustration can very well be seen . On second thoughts had a funny day! :D

hota hai hota hai ....... acha hua you told... the other day our very own bake bihari ... mayank was more than enthusiastic to go for DLPD inviligilation. Which to him would give him a chance of coulouring his barren life with some good sightings of the otherwise endagered species called "babes". Alas it was not to happen and bake was saved from getting rebuked for once.
