Day 102 - 16th October 2010

The QT prof. seemed to have come back to normal today, he was his usual patient self. Now that is a good sign :-) Got done with lectures by 1130 so decided to go to Fabindia to buy a couple of kurtas, since Oorja will be happening on campus. Now as is generally the trend I couldn't come back to campus after buying just kurtas, had lunch at Uncle Sam's pizza, unlimited salad,pasta and pizza buffet for 150 bucks:-) Got back to campus at around 230 and did justice to the meal by sleeping for an hour. Played cricket for sometime in the evening, MCL will be beginning on the 20th, there are a lot of players whose base value was very low at the auction, but all of a sudden have started playing so well that they ought to have been priced higher. This substantiates my theory that in India everybody is a cricketer :-D For the first time out here I read a book for a good 2 hours, the one on what sport tells us about life, some really good insights in that one.

Had the Oorja competitions at the audi in the night. There were fashion shows, MICA's got talent, jugalbandi's,group dances and poem recitals. The fashion shows had some nice themes - evvolution of the underworld and 7 cardinal sins. My favourite group dance was the one on 'Munni Badnaam', those are the kind of songs for which you can dance even without preparing and still pull it off :-) The highlight of the show had to be when the MC for the evening imitated some of the seniors in front of them, that was just too hilarious! During the course of the competition we also got to know that MICA defeated IIM-A in a lot of sports at their sports fest. Such moments are ones to cherish- the entire audi celebrating in unison, as they really foster the spirit of belonging to this college. That got done by around midnight, will call it a day early today and plus tomorrow is a rest day, so shall sleep for at least 10 hours ;-)
