The day it all began

11th June 2006

I am going to remember this day for as long as I live or my memory lasts, whichever comes first...
I reached Kozhikode (Calicut ring a louder bell? No? OK, North Kerala) early in the morning by bus from Blr. My mother and sister and the greatest, they came with me and I am really glad they did. I have had this weird feeling since yesterday and for the first time ever I guess, I was glad that they came along.

The first view of the campus...

Pretty impressive, eh...

Amazingly enough, I got to my room 10 mins after we got into the campus (or Kampus as I have been told to call, oops Kall it!! I think thats the last time Im doing that...), got my stuff in and we headed out to explore...the place is truly incredible. The open lawns and the building style and the sheer beauty of the place...its like a resort down to the demand for 'Valley-facing' rooms!

This is from somewhere near my room...

Lunch was pretty good.

Since Im going to be eating here for the next 2 years, I convinced myself that the lunch is awesome. But judging from the looks on my mom and sis's face, Im in trouble...

All in all, it feels good. I am going to be here for 2 years and my first thought on getting here was - Wow! this is nice - which is always a good sign :)

Watch this space for more of my (mis?)adventures here; the ups and downs, highs and lows, crests and troughs of doing a Yem Bee Yay.
