Fourth semester at SCMHRD is one of the most relaxed semesters. We have Neev just around the corner and so I am relatively free. Decided to go to church today. Maria was pleased since she has been after me to do so for a long long time! Am sure my Mom too was pleased.

Today was the feast of Christ the King as well as it happens to be my brother’s birthday. The feast of Christ the King marks the end of the liturgical year. This is usually a big event in my church back in Mumbai. Next Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. I can finally start playing some Christmas carols

We took the 5.05pm bus to Atur Center and then went to the Food Bazaar at Pune Central to pick up some eatables and other essentials.

Mass at St. Anthony’s in Model Colony was over an hour. However, it was filled with singing, something that I haven’t indulged in a long time.

Met quite a few other Catholics of SCMHRD of both the juniors and senior batch who landed up for mass today.

Caught the 8pm bus back to the campus and grabbed a simple dinner of double full fried eggs in the cafeteria.

We have a company on campus tomorrow morning. Have to attend the pre-placement talks before I decide if I should signup with them or not.

Wish me the best of luck. Will provide details tomorrow or day after. I plan on going home on Tuesday since the rest of the week is relatively free. Also have to pickup my final installment demand draft.

As I mentioned, yesterday was the Goan Association feast.
Expected it to be as good as it has been every year. Well, it could have been better…

I wouldn’t wanna go into the finer details, but the organization could have been better, the snacks less sweeter and the food more plentiful!

Music was “normal”. I was kinda surprised that Clayton was DJing. Did he not like the music or was it preplanned?

Had a decent amount of jive and waltz as a result. Went for the march with Anjali and jived a little until she decided that I need to find another partner, did the needful for me, which I didn’t like. Behaved like a good gentleman. But later picked up the Li’l White Mouse for the rest of the evening.

the Li’l White Mouse and I share a similar distaste for music. We prefer jive and waltz numbers while shy away from the “jingbang”. So just chatted away for the rest of the evening.

Well, we got a compliment from Ian‘s (a friend from school) grandmother, which was really sweet!

Left around 11.30pm, came home and found my dad checking out my music. We always swap music everytime he is down. And this time he bought a few cds and vcds.

Gotta go meet Madam C today after quite some number of weeks. There are just two worthwhile English movies running, viz. Harry Potter (which she doesn’t want to watch) and the Exorcism of Emily Rose (which I wonder if she would want to). Well let’s see…

Today was the feast of the Divine Mercy and I was able to go for mass.

We were singing (with quite less strength) and it also happened to be a wedding mass and so went on for one and half hour.

Had the homily preached by a Mr. Leslie, who spoke on the importance of the Divine Mercy and the Sacrament of Reconciliation (which I have been neglecting). Some day!

Wonder why I have posted this!
