All's well that Ends well...

I have uploaded the Trip Photos on : http://fro.fotofinity.com (Thanx to Vigi's Blog! Thanx man!).... check em out..They were taken on Prads fone.. pretty gud quality... Some are pretty hazy.. but its fine...
Well.. heres how the day went...
I left from home today at 10... Surprisingly i got a train from the platform closest to the the auto..(i.e No Bridge Climbin Involved).. Ofcourse.. didnt get a seat.. but hey.. with a population of 1.3Billion, shudnt xpct too much in life!
The thing im most thankful for is the train system.. I mean imagine.. even at 12 in the night u end up gettin pushed around at Dadar! Without trains, life would be a bitch... My travel covers all the 3 railways(Western, Central & Harbor)![Borivli--->Dadar--->Kurla--->Nerul].. Its a nice 3 train journey to college.. what i enjoy the most is the rush you get out of it... Try travellin in a Virar Train to borivli from dadar at around 7 in the evenin..Its one helluva ride!
So gettin back to the point... I enjoy my long journey...
On reaching college, im greeted by my fellow students...We had to submit our resume(Basically mark details) to the Training & Placement[T&P] cell.. Im one of the volunteers of teh T&P cell. So basically I was helpin people with submittin their Resumes....
We sent a bunch of juniors to go get some sponsors in Vashi....
Its 12:45, Archana tells us we have an appointment at 2 at Dadar!!!! We were out of Sponsorship plans & people... & for all those unfamiliar with the MSEBs Awsum Load Shedding Scheme... Nerul East loses power from 1pm to 3:30pm.. That left us with only 15 mins to get a print of the sponsorship plan & assign some one to goto Dadar... It was wierd.. We have 1.3 billion
people in this country & yet we were short of people!!! Crazy times.. i used some silly floppy i had in my bag to get the soft copy of the plan... as usual..Murphys Law came true.. File got copied to the floppy but didnt read!!! Finally somehow we found the plan on a CD & got it printed... phew.. that was a relif! Rcq pushed off with Abhinav & I took charge of things in College...
Basically we've called almost every company under the sun.. so not too much work was left on the sponsorship front.. Archana left at 3:30...Just 15mins after that... The Colleges most Trusty Peon Pawar, doing what he always does, arrived from the university.. but this time with the results of BE Comps & IT....
The air had that wierd feel...People squirming.. asking him when it will be put up...
Finally at arnd 5 the results were up..Mixed emotions all over...While people were celebrating or doin wot they do, I was strummin away on Subbus elec in a class room....Nice fun...
At arnd 6:30 i left with a bunch of seniors to the Balaji Temple at Nerul West... Its an awsum temple... Temples always have that feelin of peace & serenity in them..Its a nice feeling.....
I actually did an archana in my name.. Im not really that religious by nature.. Thought might as well try sumthin new for a change...Basically paid my respect to the gods & got my blessing...

lets see how things turn out..

I do think Pawar has become synonymous with Results. Best of luck with all your sponsorship activities, as also with your T&P stuff!
And yes, congrats on your maiden visit to the Balaji temple! Personally, I find it the most beautiful and peaceful place in all the temples that I have seen.
