I used to sleep at 4 am. Then it became 5. Nowadays, I usually sleep by 6.30 - 7 in the morning. Sometimes not even then. To say my cycle has turned upside down and inside out is an understatement.
For the past week or so, I've been going at 6 am to get chai from the roadside shop opposite the campus gate. Its usually an motley crew of people who're awake. We've usually spent half the night chatting, talking, or just hanging out and watching the stars at LKP. And then at 6, we get on DBab, message everyone who's online, and head for chai. Steaming hot cuttings of sweet chai, with half the junta heading to the tiny cart around the corner for cigarettes. The most amazing and mundane conversations I've had here, I've usually had over morning chai.
I have two classes left. One paper and two exams due before I'm done.
Unless I decide to go back to school at some point of time, this could be the last time I 'study'.
I feel the pressure to say something poignant, something significant about this experience. But it won't come now.. the memories, the nostalgia..
Later maybe, a few months from now when I realize with a pang that I miss the complete freedom of an academic environment. No fixed schedule. No real responsibilities. And no real pressure.
Maybe when I'm working, I'll look back and think about this time, when I had nothing to do except plan holidays and read books.
Right now, I'm just having too much fun.
