1. Sleeping with four other people in a room only meant for two.
2. Taking a cold shower at 6:30 AM.
3. Living out of a suitcase for a week.
4. Indira Parikh's Induction Lab.
5. Falling in love with a pre-fabricated cupboard.
6. Learning the true value of salt in food.
7. Sharing ONE toilet among fifteen people at 8:30 AM, when classes are starting at 9AM.
8. Watching Hazel Mehta tell a room full of students that Rajastan is backwards.
9. Watching hot water gush out of a tap after a week of cold showers.
10. The first two weeks at FLAME.
Editor's Note: It has just come to our attention that people believe that this post speaks badly about FLAME. This was not the intention behind this at all. The only way that a person will understand this, and the emotion behind it is to live the way we've lived for the past two weeks. You truly do become closer to people. Among all of this stuff we've gone through, we really have bonded. In the immortal words of Aman, we're now "FLAME-ily".
Most of you that know me from Orkut know that I pretty much disliked all of the PG students on there. Now, if you ask me, I honestly can't see why I disliked them in the first place. I really can't imagine life without Kunal, Miten, Mishal and the rest of them. As I sit at home now, sick, life at FLAME is the only thing going through my mind. That's after just a few weeks like this.

First Trek at Flame
India won the World Cup. The euphoria reached a hilt at one point when enthusiasts demonstrated their emotions on the furniture outside pitstop! 6.30 am next morning. 23 sleepy students. Waiting at Pit Stop. Still celebrating???Naaa! We left behind Bhaji's captaincy for something even more fun – a trek with General Mehta, our CO and inspiration for numerous initiatives at FLAME.
There were some samples of course; some were literally dragged out of bed like our Gandhiji Vickey (ahem... Dipika had to do the honours of dragging her bhaiya out!)
On the way up the hill, General Mehta shared a few precious memories of his time spent in Kashmir and the jawan's life in the Indian Army, extremely inspiring. It felt so great...an honour to be able to hear his stories and be a part of the experience. 
As with all awesome things, the fun part came right at the end, while walking half way down the constructed road, some of our crazy UG girls came up with the brilliant idea of taking the 'off the beaten track' - a slope cutting almost 75 degree right down, leading us to the golf course! Now, normally, we would have taken the sane road and come down like respective (read boring people) but no, the crazy gang with our 60 year young leader went down the rubble filled slope! Slip! Tumble, scratch! Ouch! Through muck, slippery grass, and a lot more, we managed to paint our bottoms a healthy earthy shade, what with everyone sliding down with no clue as to where their feet slip next! 
It wasn't exactly the most strenuous trek, neither was it tiring, yes we all came back all dirty, but with big grins all across our excited faces, and most important of all - the fun-o-meter – I rate that a 100%! Cheers to more such adventure at FLAME!
