Highlights of the first day...

1. Stressful registration. I couldn't help having pity at the guys who were doing it. They were doing it most diligently but two people overseeing one hundred and seventy five registrations was a bit too much even for them.
2. Even stressful induction. Speeches were what speeches are like. The little said the better.
3. A high tea, the only thing high about which was the height at which the mess is located. And like most high teas, one couldn't escape the mandatory pastries and sandwich although samosa had given way to some south-indian-dish-with-naariyal-ki-chutney.
4. A good session with the chairs of various departments.
5. An uneventful evening.
6. A session with the students council.
7. A tiff with one of the 'committe-heads'.
