Haddi went out of the b<strong>at</strong>hroom to find someone who<br />

would help him put Chashmish on a bed. He found<br />

“Champak” roaming in the wing. Both of them made<br />

sure th<strong>at</strong> Chashmish was sleeping comfortably in his<br />

room a few minutes l<strong>at</strong>er. Haddi then took a quick<br />

shower and raced to the mess in order to c<strong>at</strong>ch<br />

breakfast. After which he came back to his room and<br />

crashed. The gang woke up well past noon and<br />

conglomer<strong>at</strong>ed around 3 in the canteen to get<br />

something to e<strong>at</strong>. Now th<strong>at</strong> it had become sure th<strong>at</strong> they<br />

will have to stay in the <strong>summer</strong>, all of them had to<br />

register in the hall office. They spent the remainder of<br />

the afternoon talking to people in the hall office making<br />

sure they didn’t have to leave their current rooms. It<br />

took some convincing but since it was a very large<br />

group, the hall office finally agreed. It was yet another<br />

core courses across a number of different departments<br />

which were going to be offered in the fall semester. If<br />

the course didn’t get offered in the <strong>summer</strong> and they<br />

didn’t pass it, it basically meant none of them would be<br />

gradu<strong>at</strong>ing on time. Within 10 min a 50 people strong<br />

group was heading towards the DOSA office to convince<br />

the authorities to offer the course during <strong>summer</strong>. Even<br />

after an hour long discussion, the best the authorities<br />

could say th<strong>at</strong> they would talk to Prof Roy and inform<br />

the students tomorrow. The entire group came back to<br />

the hostel in despair. Stress had just increased 10 folds<br />

within the past 3 hours. The seven of them decided to<br />

have an early dinner grab a few bottles of beer and go<br />

straight to the rooftop. The plan executed to perfection<br />

by the minute. By 8 0’clock all of them were sitting<br />

comfortably on the rooftop. After some initial worries<br />

about the course, everyone decided to let go and enjoy
