Sleepy tour of Pagsanjan fall (Laguna)

SSAR officers and specially our overseas student president had announced Pagsanjan fall tour well in advance. Going by the signatures on sign up sheet, it was expected that more than 50-60 students would join this tour.
The result for our quanti papers came on 14th evening, and with this came jubiliation for some and disappointment for some. All the enthu for laguna visit kinda disappeared in one go.

As I wasn't feling very elated after seeing my result, I was also not sure myself if I wanted to come. Then came Sandeep, with a plausible logic that probably this is the only chance that most of our batchmates are going together on a trip, so I shud definately come. Many of us six floorites acceded to this logic and decided to get up early in the morning so that to be on time for our trip starting 07:00 am.

However, most of us were up till late in the morning. In fact I cud not sleep all night. This reflected in most of us sleeping all through the trip.

After 4 hrs long bus jorney, when we reached our first stop, river view resort, from where we had to take small boats (Kayak), I was so tired I decided to stay in resort only and take rest. Preetam Chandra and Saurabh arya also decided to stay with me. After taking some rest in the resort, we went to see an exhibition in the city.

We finally came back 10:00 in the evening only to sleep till very late the following morning :)

My first stage performance

When I chose learning guitar as my walkabout I'd never thought that I'll perform on stage. As deliverable, I'd said that I'll perform in front of class only.

In fact, we weren't ourselves sure, till this morning, that we are going to perform during the international week's cultural night. However, the organizers confirmed to us by 15:00 hrs today, that they have included a performance from us in their list. Myself and my HBO walkabout partner, Preetam Chandra, were both happy and scared at the same time. none of us had ever performed anything in front of an audience. We were nervous because we knew that we have not got enough time to practice together. In the hindsight, I think we did good by sleeping few hours before our performance as it certainly helped in calming us a bit.
In the end, it was good to know that almost everyone liked our performance & appreciated it more when they came to know that we had less than 6 weeks time to learn from the scratch.
