Things I miss at home
It's been around 5 days since I've been at home, and I have already begun to miss a few things
- I can no longer download 90MB in 40s
- DC++, it's been such a long time since I stress tested the media player
- Gym, I feel ssssssooooooooo lazy
- Damn these regular powercuts, I had forgotten all about them
- Hostel food
- The noise free ambience of IITB
- Borrol and Kashyap's "discussions" over food

Panther again!
Got this in mail today. I really don't want my parents to read this!

Sub : Sighting of Panther in the campus
Residents of the campus may recall previous circulars issued on the subject cited above. Panthers were seen at various places in the campus during the last few days. All out efforts are being made to ensure that the panther is trapped/chased away from the campus by the Forest Authorities. Special patrols are being deployed everyday to patrol the most vulnerable areas where the panther is being sighted frequently in jeep and motorcycles equipped with high power search lights and fire crackers.
Campus residents are requested to inform any suspicion about presence of leopard on the telephone numbers given below:
Main Building Security Control
Intercom no.: ****, **** & ****
For the purpose of precautionary measures, the campus residents are requested to observe the following:-
1)Not to provoke the animal by stone throwing or attempting to hit it with anything.
2)Not to take photograph, nor should the animal be followed or make provocative gestures.
3)If the cubs are sighted, do not indulge in any provocation whatsoever, as the panther accompanying the cubs can be highly dangerous.
4)Not to allow small children unaccompanied by adults to move around during night.
5)Not to sleep outside and, doors and windows should be secured.
6)Lonely and dark stretches of roads should not be used during night.
7)When dogs bark or run frantically at night, it may be taken as warning of panther’s presence nearby.
8)Panther is afraid of lights and cracker bursts. Hence, it is advisable to carry a torch and flick it around while moving at night.
9)In case of a pet dog, it should be kept indoors at night.
The Institute has approached the authorities concerned to remove/scare away the panthers. This section will be bursting crackers during nights. Hence do not panic on hearing sounds of crackers.
