Provisional travails

Am in Ranchi with Sid, Arni & Arni's bro Arpan (who's facing an interview for B.C.A. at BIT). Met Prashant, possibly for the last time for a long time to come.

We sign in for receiving the provisional at 9:30 a.m. Finally lay hands on it at 4:30 p.m. BIT cares a damn about these colossal wastes of time. On top of that, the 2 bit office assistants have the nerve to throw attitude at the very people who pay for their salaries. It's enough that I'm back at home with my sanity intact.
