1) The AC at DOMS
2) The yes sir, 5 minute sir, please sir man of Tifanys
3) Poonam Badam Milk
4) DC++
5) Bandwidth on weekends (through illegal proxy settings)
6) The constant cribbing of my friends
7) The crazy monkeys
8 ) Midnight Counter-strike

and what I won’t
1) The extreme heat of the city
2) The mess food
3) Examination grades
4) The hostel loo
5) MBA bull****
6) The cribbing of the rickshaw drivers
7) The (pathetically slow) hostel net

As long as there are more things to miss, there’s always a reason to go back to IIT. Btw what will you miss?

There are some things money can’t buy

One of my favourite ads is the Priceless series by Mastercard. This is where they list down a few expenses and then as the punchline, deliver something which cannot be measured in money. It conjures up a beautiful combination of pride and emotion for the viewer. Here’s my own version of the ad if ever the Indian Railways decided to follow that format..

Twelve water bottles – Rs 144

Four vegetarian biryanis and one omelet – Rs 181

Six samosas, three teas and two coffees – Rs 60

Anti-nuisance money for chakkas- Rs 30

Reaching aamchi Mumbai after 22 long hours in the train – Priceless

There are some people who can fly, for everyone else there’s Indian Railways.
