Day 105 - 19th October 2010

Back to grind of being awake for 21 hours at a stretch! Another full day of lectures, the Imagining India class was based on the reading material provided for Khalistan. There were some people who hadn't read it but confidently managed to pffaf their way through the discussion based on whatever prior knowledge they had. Im pretty sure the prof. could make that out. CB revolved all around the concept of joint families and their consumption patterns and also the changing family structures. After lectures had cricket practice in the evening, couldn't play on the ground as PGP2 had a practice match, so had to do with the area in front of SilverOak. Got done with practice at around 630. Tried to study a bit of CMA in the library but then 'extended family' decided to have an outing to CCD. Was good fun, haven't laughed this much for quite sometime :-) After CCD had Chana Bhatura for dinner at this place called Havmor, the Bhaturas were so huge that the four of us found it very difficult to finish two plates! Had to get back to campus in time for the Academic Review Committee (ARC) elections, Maushi and I were contesting alongwith 14 other people from the batch for 6 places. Each of us had to give a speech as to why we should be elected and then the floor was open for questions from the batch. I am generally pretty bad at pitching for myself, but still made an attempt. Voting was conducted immediately after the speeches were made, both Maushi and I made it :-) Tried to study again in the library after that but then got a call saying that people were working on the creatives for the Phantoms campaign, came up with a few ideas which were either spoofs of existing ads or extoled the values of not smoking :-D

Back in the room now working on an internet connection which reminds me of the dial up days, anyways will call it a day now. First match of the MCL tomorrow, hope the Phantoms do well :-)
