Cadet #25 Mumbai ke liye taiyaar hai, Shreemaan!!!

It's pretty amazing how fast time can pass by if you're not thinking about it. My camp for instance, when I was there, every day seemed almost like a week, but now when I think about it, it seems soo very short!!!
Perhaps because of the hectic routine which started soo very early in the morning, it appeared to be much more than a day. You have to view the time table to actually get what I'm saying.

04:30: My friend's alarm would ring. Only my friend and I would get up at this and get ready.
04:45: I would turn on the lights and start waking the 29 others in my room.
05:00: The big Thaali would go "bang-bang", for soo freakin long, and it would be so loud that even a dead body would wake to it. I had to make sure that room duty was done till reporting time. Room duty was to sweep the room, alignt the beds after folding them in equal, emptying the dustbin, aligning the shoes in a straight line. Now the reason I had to take care all this was done was because I was voted room leader, and was asked by the "Didis" to take all kind of room responsibility. And since we had "best room award", we were specially asked to see to all these things, and mind you, they were checked upon.
05:45: Reporting ground time. If we would have gotten late, we were made to take rounds around the ground. Luckily I didn't evr have to do that.
06:00: Jogging, workout, and mass P.T.
06:30: Rifle Shooting (We used to National 25)
07:00: Lathi- It's like this long wooden rod you can use to beat up people, we were taught the different ways in which one can beat someone and what parts of the body can be beaten up.
07:30: Jamiya- It's like this dagger thing, you learn how to attack and defend youself from it. It used to be soo awesome!!!
08:00: Breakfast- We had to run to our rooms, get our plates, spoons and glasses, come down, stand in the line, eat our breakfast, wash our dishes, go back up to our rooms, keep the dishes, wear our caps and come back for our next class.
08:30: Lezim- It's like this Maharashtrian dance form with this tambourine-kind instrument. It was the most fun class ever!!! We used to dance like crazy...
09:00: Sangeet- We learned all these patriotic songs which were written in Hindi, since I can't read at singing speed, I sat and wrote the hindi pronunciations in English. The didis were pretty impressed.
09:30: Yoga- We all know that That is... *yawns*
10:00: Water break- yes, we had a seperate water break, we weren't allowed water between class.
10:15: Mantra Gyan- Easily the most boring subject. They taught is these Mantras, which atually wouldn't have been soo bad only if they had tunes that made feakin sense!!! They were soo off!!! The songs, or whatever they were, just didn't go.
10:45: Platoon duty- We were divided as per platoons also(I was in platoon #1). we had to keep our campus, toilets, the Cowshed, nursery and the Mess clean. There were 4 platoons, and duties rotated each day.
11:30: Bathing and cleaning time. We had to dress up in casuals for lunch.
12:30: Lunch
13:30: Silence period- Sleeping, bathing, washing clothes, making notes, etc..
15:00: Group discussion- debating and stuff... Fun thing
16:00: Snacks & tea
16:30: Squad Drill- Marching. With all these weird hindi commands. I finally know left and right in hindi. Saamne Salute, Message Salute, Bayee mud, Daheenay dekh... Blaa blaa... Total Military.
17:00: Karate- we all knwo what that is.
17:30: Games
18:00: Flag Down
18:30: Practise whatever
19:00: Go to rooms, get ready for dinner.
