What a day! Most of it was consumed by the drama of the Mohali test match. Was in class when all the drama was unfolding. But all of us kept getting constant updates throughout the lecture. The tension in class was palpable :-P Finally when the winning runs were hit and we got to know about it couldnt help but celebrate in class itself, even the prof. joined in the celebrations, was amazing fun. One of those days when everything seemed to be going great for Indian sport, with the medals tally at the CWG being second only to Australia. The last day which was similar was way back in 2001 when on the first day of the India Aus test match at Kolkata Bhajji became the first Indian test bowler to take a hattrick and Pullela Gopichand won the All England Badminton championship. Its really amazing how sport can raise the morale of an entire nation. Until a week back everybody was cursing the Indian system and how things work over here and today everybody is proud to be an Indian. Something similar happened to Spain in 2008 when they were going through a major financial crisis, they won the Euro Cup and Rafa won Wimbledon that year. Both victories brightened the nation's mood!
Couldn't help but digressing and writing about sport. Now back to MICAland! Played cricket again today, more than 30 people turned up. Am now in this phase of the term where there is a lot of time and not much to do, Im loving it :-D Dunno for how long it will continue though. Had some really tasty Puran Poli in the evening, a friend had got it from home. Spent the rest of the evening reading articles about the match. Dinner at the mess was Chinese, which was pretty decent. Spent nearly half an hour laughing thanks to discussions about Palaash Corp. and its products, you may be wondering what is Palaash Corp. , that will be known in due course of time.
Decided to sleep early today(for a change), so will try and call it a day at 1130 pm which according to the MICAn clock is 630 in the evening :-P
P.S - Facebook became Laxman Central today thanks to his heroics, yours truly also made a contribution : Fosters new campaign - VVS Laxman - Australian for fear. ;-)
