UOH: Day 3

The day started with some effort from my roomy, Dijo, ( I live with two other people Dijo and Prakash) to go to the city and see Charminar. Both of us got ready but by the time we had breakfast we found out that the group of people who were planning to go had dropped the idea. Although Dijo was still enthusiastic about venturing out, I was very skeptical about having to go around a city without having any plans of how and where we were going to go. The fact that the pair of rechargeable batteries, that were meant for my camera, refused to work added to the reluctance to go out. So there we were with nothing to do, left in this deserted University. Both of us decided to head to the department and meet for lunch later. I set up a wiki-dot site so that I will be able to communicate better with my guide. Most of my time today was spent on setting it up. The site is where I keep a log, with more technical details, of whats happening in the academic part of the life here. Tried the food at the student’s canteen here. If any of you reading this blog, ever happen to come to HCU, do not even think about eating at the student’s canteen. Since I had not signed up for dinner and lunch I was forced to have dinner also at the same place, the food here is worse than what we used to get at the mess in BITS, Pilani. Never again will I refrain from signing up for food at ‘mess’ while I am here. The night sky seems to have shade of red, giving me the feeling that rains are just around the corner. The sea breeze which is a great respite to the summer’s heat in Chennai is one of the things I miss. Time during which I have not been struggling with equations was spent on chatting with people via Gmail chat and looking for places where I can fix my laptop. Google maps has been of great help in this process. Have zeroed in on one shop in Madhapur, which I will try to visit sometime tomorrow.
