The Week That was

*LAST SEMESTER* boo hoo etc. Exams were okayish as always. 4 subjects this time instead of the usual 5 and a 60 mark project. Padhna kisne hai yaar.I'll look forward to Security Analysis though. Or at least i hope i will. The week wasn't too busy as there were hardly any proper classes save the usual introductions to the subject etc. I'm slowly starting to feel detached from college. I see all these bubbly freshers practicing their choreo/streetplay etc and i feel old man !..haha..I mean I owned this place not too long ago but its starting to feel like I'm just a member of the family.Not that i don't own it now but woh seniority wali baat ho jaati hai yaar.Go figure.

CCL came in as a breath of fresh air. For those not in the know, CCL or CBS Cricket League is a 6 over 6 member a side cricket tourney which a group of us started last year and it has now become a tradition I can look back proudly upon. We had both our 1st round group robin matches and we're through to the pre-quarters. Raje single-handedly decimated the opposition in the first match scoring a brisk 29 and we posted a stiff target of 76, winning easily by around 40 or so runs. I picked up 2 wickets so I was glad with my showing as well. The second match(today) was where we screwed up . Chasing a gettable 56 , we were 21 for no loss after 1.3 overs, and looked all set before a mini collapse. The match went down to the wire and we ended up losing by 1 run but thankfully our comfortable net run rate(NRR) from the previous match meant we went through. Looking back, it was a tactical error on my part to bowl the 1st over and gave too many runs early on before Cheap and raje tightened up proceedings. Should've also not tampered with the opening line up.Sending choudhary up the order also proved costly. Koi ni. You win some, you dim sum. It was a good wake up call and it's best we don't get too complacent as we move to the knock out stages.

Did i tell you i read The Kite Runner during the course of the exams. That's what i do; read a novel during and only during exam time.Weird as how I keep regretting this wasteful expenditure of time and still keep doing it semester after semester. Good book though. Really good book. *Calls out*Hitchhiker's omnibus. You're NEXT. *Sounds of lightning*


Sad jokes apart, saw this play on saturday at the IHC called Chaos Theory about two college professors who "experience a lifetime together without expressing their real emotions".Aptly put. Now i don't generally see a lot of plays ( can't remember the last one I saw so I'm presuming it was ages ago) but I can tell you this - I shall be watching many more in the times to come after seeing what I saw on saturday. Exceptional acting apart, the play was crisp, engaging and not over the top(meaning upar se nikal jaayega) as i would've imagined plays would be. Or maybe i had it all wrong in my head in the first place but our(me, aadhar) idea of watching plays paid off, although it was I who pointed out this particular play(I like to take credit for everything good that happens to anyone anywhere). Bappi also came along but I don't know if he enjoyed it as much as i did, even though he did enjoy it. The tickets should've been cheaper though. 300 bucks is a bit sexpensive for college going wannabe regular play watchers man. Also, I banged into bajaj, yaksee, pragyah, n tmyta so I was pleasantly surprised. Talking of IHC, I really like the all american diner. it has a laidback charm which gets me hook, line and sinker.

I banged into tmyta again the next day in khan market. She's probably stalking me, which is good.Caught up with dY and Karn which is always fun. I'm starting to get tired of the whole big chill, khan chacha routine a bit though (finally!)..Khair, yesterday we had kababs at Saleem coz khan chacha was closed due to a family wedding(or so said the notice outside). Kakori is always bliss though chicken isn't half bad either. So isn't penne with vodka, mud pie and our dear friend, the belgian chocolate shake. Now the reason i don't get fat : not because of some hand-me-down family digestive churan (powder) or some shit. it's simple. i burn it.

DVD-rips i saw over this past week - Rock On(loved it), little miss sunshine (loved it), pineapple express (good fun).

Oh, I still need a job, so if you can hook me up somewhere, I shall bestow upon you massive brownie points.

Before we end, my lyrics for the day come from Priscilla Ahn's Find My Way Back Home. If i were you I'd be downloading it right now. Haha no really. You'll know why once you hear it.

Don't you go,
Away, I know,
Without your love,
I'll never find my way back home

'Cause you and me,
So happily,
Make all our dreams of make believe reality

La la la La la la La la la la la

Troubles, never find us there
Oh, bubbles, float through the air,
Float through the air
Float through the air air air air

La la la La la la La la la la la

So don't you go,
Away, I know,
Without your love,
I'll never find my way back home,
I'll never find my way back home,
No, no,
I'll never find my way back home,
No, no,
I'll never find my way back home


Peace and Love
you know who
