[4]:The Gator spirit!!

When you enter the UF campus the first thing you will notice is the gator feeling. You just cant miss it. The ID card is called the Gator one, the annual event is the gator growl, gator dining, and the friday nights when they play movies and other fun stuff is called gator nights.
Gator is derived from Alli'gator' which is supposed to be abundant in the swamps near gainesville. Itna latak chuke hai gators pe that the university football and basketball teams are also called gators. And the huge football stadium is called 'the swamp'. Needless to say they have formed some oneliners for gators.Some of my favourites are
1. If you are not a gator u are gator bait
2. Chances are that you have met many gators in your life, chances are you remember them
3. Out of 'the swamp' only the gators come out alive.

The gator feeling is most evident in game days where the atmosphere absolutely electrifying. The noise level is like ten wankhade stadiums together. There is synchronized cheering led by the gator band and 90,ooo ppl with them. It really causes a kind of flow experience.

It helps to have a unifying factor like this in a large and multicultural university. Even if it is grotesque and uncomely creature like alligator it more than serves the purpose.

Go Gators

[3] CuriousGanja returns

I think I am a sureshot candidate for Alzeihmers coz I literally forgot that I had this blog site on. It was after the test today that the 'khujli' for writing something reminded me of this site and am lucky that the password still worked. The nickname of 'memory loss' which was given to me by my dear friends in Nasik seems quite apt now. I promise to be regular from now on so keep dropping by.
After my previous post a day before leaving for Amreeka, now I am settled and into the groove. Contrary to my previous post in which I thought I would be going without any assumptions or expectations, subconciously there seems to be many assumptions I have made.

Assumption 1:MS is a cakewalk
Reality: Bhai log Literally thukk rahi hai
Assumption 2: I am a freaking genious and can learn anything
Reality: The performance in the courses I have taken surely does not seem to suggest that
Assumption 3: I would be courting a different chick every sunday of various nationalities in alphabetic order.
Reality: Abhi takk lukkha hoon and scene does not look bright. I am going to kill the guy who spread the misconception Amreeka mei aasaan hai.
Assumption 4: will be travelling to a different state each month.
Reality: Gainesville ke baahar nahi gaya ab tak.

I think I better stop now as u ppl may be thinking pehle return post mei hi dil khol raha hai.
