The Chronicles of the Flu-ing Swine

Been an extremely eventful 36 hours, the end of which was impossible 36 hours prior to it.
The timeline moves thus:
-11th August 2009, 9:00 AM: Classes at NALSAR
-11th August 2009, 1:40 PM: End of the aforementioned classes
-11th August 2009, 2:40 PM: Ordered lunch at Greenland Dhaba, Shamirpet
-11th August 2009, 3:30 PM: Receieved a message that read "no classes till the 23rd"
-11th August 2009, 4:50 PM: Booked a plane ticket to Delhi
-11th August 2009, 5:20 PM: Left NALSAR
-11th August 2009, 8:10 PM: Reached Shamshabad airport
-11th August 209, 10:15 PM: Flight SG-236 takes off from Shamshabad airport.
-12th August 2009, 1:30 AM: Lying on my bed at home.

All thanks to the great species of pigs: First you gave me Chilly Pork, now you give me the chance to feast on it whilst I'm in Delhi. I bow to thine magnanimity.

I fervently hope that my moot doesnt get screwed up due to this.
