Day 338: 14th Aug, 2010

One of those days when I had nothing much to do and I sincerely stuck to doing just that.

Sikander - the inter hostel sports meet is ON. Today in fact was the finals of football (H 14 v/s H 1,2,3) and it turned out to be one helluva match!! Went right up till the penalty shoot-out, and H 14 won only when the very last show by the striker hit the outer face of the side of the goalpost and deflected away. Really unfortunate for them.

Day 305: 11th Jul, 2010

Almost as if God reads my blogs :) . I slept off ranting about the heat. And what do I know - it rained heavily at dawn, and I woke up to a really cool and pleasant morning :D

Nice lazy Sunday otherwise. Had a late breakfast, late bath, late lunch :D . Pretty interesting lunch convo with Vanki and Pachpan - a complete discussion on Vanki's "choice" of "Indian" movies, with one final conclusion - Vanki cannot understand the Indian Consumer's Behaviour :D . The guy didn't like Koi Mil Gaya. We were going to put him through the acid test - Jab We Met .. :D . But unfortunately, he hadn't seen that movie!

Started watching LOTR - part 1. Got interrupted midway over the Retail marketing project. Spent a good 3 hours over it. Interrupted by yet another plan to go to Brij ki Rasoi. The jinx continued - this time, the plan was shelved even before it took off :-p . After another little struggle for the project, I came back and finished the movie. And I was disappointed!! The movie, even with a running time of 3 and a half hours, did NOT finish! :-O There is a clear continuation and dependence on Part 2 to take the next logical step forward. Pretty silly, ain't it?

Now am back to my room after watching the Footie final at Samanjasya. Pretty tough match!! Though I personally would prefer one with a lot more goals :P . Anyways, congrats to Spain and well-played to the Dutch. Though they won't be remembered much. Aakhir, jo jeeta ..wohi sikandar!

Day 55: 14th Aug, 2009

Totally forgot to update this -> the much spirited SIKANDER is here! Sikander is the interhostel sports tournament that we have - lots of sports where the hostels are pitted against each other. Sikander started off with table tennis - and H4/5/6 (my hostel!) won! But that was quite expected - we have a deadly TT team! Infact the team that came second was routed 3-0 in the final :) . Now we are having football matches played under halogens at night. The ground looks AWESOME in those lights! We also have commentary for those matches - who are more obsessed with describing and kheechofying people rather than concentrating on the game :D . But that plan works out really well.

We had this one fellow who became famous as 'Bhavishya Patwadi' during the game - eg. "abb ball hai Bhavishya ke paas.. par woh vartmaan mei ball kyu nahi rakh paa rahe hai" etc etc. There was this one guy who got a lot of cheering when he stepped into the field. Commentary - "D ke aate hii bahut cheering ho rahi hai.. lagta hai D ke bahut saare fans hai.. correction D ke bahut saare male fans hai.. " :D

Went to play some pool then with 3 other friends from my section. This guy, RG, always claims he plays at an 'average' level and then ends up playing better than most of us! Guess his 'average' needs to be redefined! Anyways, played a little, gossiped a little ;-) and went back to my room at around 2am.

Am also meddling a little with the committee tasks - a little designing stuff this time. That is something I find interesting. Hope to come up with something decent. Final review dates are also out for a couple of committees. Time's running out fast. Very soon, on this side or that...
