Vishal Kohli: Wanna be phillim maker: Will you listen to me?

18th August, 2008 finally brought some relief to Lavale, rest assured it’s not Munna Bhai Jayanti. I religiously get up in the morning. How much ever sincere an effort I put, I never get ready before 8:30am, today I realize its 8:45am already. I am not able to find my windcheater, so, on the way out of the hostel, I try and put together my broken umbrella. Finally I am able to open it and start walking towards the academic block.

The ones experiencing lesser fall, grow beard only at certain portions of their facade (me included). But the one who must not be named like these styles so much that he offers the huge grass cutting shears to shave them off. Now the only option left with me is to shave off my head and also my beard.
