United World Colleges

How cool can today get?! I ot up in the morning, and had a fantastic breakfast, and then I went to pick up my Honda. They'd done my baby up so beautifully! They'd changed her brake discs, given her oil for the drums, and had stiffened the clutch and the steering shaft, making her as sexy as new. I never want that car sold. It still (out)performs everybody's expectations, and dad wants to sell it. Must dissuade him.
Then, in the evening, I got a letter from U.W.C. inviting me for an interview in Pune on the 16th of April!! Hallelujah!! What fun thihs is going to be! I've already made plans to drive down from Mumbai with Hrishikesh in the Opel or the Indigo. This is just so exciting!!
And finally, to top it off, I got PASSES to seee (AND MAYBE MEET!!!!!!!!) the God of Rock Himself - Mr. Mark Knopfler!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
The coolest part is that in the middle of all this I've got exams, and I don't seem to care... I seem sufficiently well prepared, so... HONDA!!!!! MARK KNOPFLER!!!!!! UNITED WORLD COLLEGES!!!!!! HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[/Euphoria and sheer exhaustion kick in at the same time, leaving me inone really wierd condition]

hmm, and i cant assure you as to the nature of your comments, either...

lets just say the marks on my hadn were shown... (naw im kidding, the marks are gone)
even savina is awaiting your arrival (either that or she can act pretty well)

cant wait. im trying to maneuver as much as i can so that i get to be your guide. its slightly mroe than a month away, so when youre here we should meet, and i should show you around my house (you'll love my housemates. 2 of em are... queer... like you)

i would comment if i knew who mark knopfthingie was, but i wont display my ignorance further.

hope you get in. if you need some advice, choose MUWCI, its the most liberal of all the UWCs. and the best (of course).

and i would love it for you to be my first year (read bitch)

the Salvor Hardin quote is 'violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.'
not the weak

dont desecrate asimov.

and sneha, MUWCI has a social life? i havent noticed... =)

and anyway aveek, if youve met me, thats enough interesting people, right? ;)

but otherwise, yeah, choose muwci.
i would love it for you to be my bitch... oops... citymate

OK, The quote was terrible. Sorry. I apologise profusely. That was a mis-quote, page 223, not by Salvor Hardin, bt by Bel Riose, who was planning to adapt it. Again I apologise. As you ca see, it ha been duly changed.
Traits, huh... well, we'll just have to see about that... ya duh I'm trying to get to MUWCI... guess what tho, bout the Knopfler concert - I got there so late (curse the bloody traffic) that all chances of meeting the Great Man Himself had gone. The concert started 5 minutes after I came... but everything - I repeat, everything - was free. Food, drinks, chocolates(and darned good ones at that!!)... everythin g! And the place i was in(the lounge) was elevated, so I could see evrything. The people waere actually well mannered, were not sweaty, and did not smoke into your face(as someone might recall at the Rolling Stones concert - what say, himanshu? ;-) )...


about the bitch joke - very funny arjun. We shall wait and see who'll be whose bitch...

P.S. Himanshu, how'd you make your way here??!! Nice to hear from you after so long... how' life?
