Day 196 - 5th February 2011

One of those days when you just love being a part of this place! Phantoms had our first game of the Super Fours round of the MCL in the morning which was against Navy Square Cut. We got off to a horrendous start and were 4/4 at one stage. However some sensible batting and a burst in the middle took to us to what we thought was a competitive total of 70. There is a new type of ball, a red one, which is not as heavy as the green one that is being used for this round, because of this its not as quick through the air or off the pitch as the green one. We realised this when Square Cut came out to bat. Some tight batting and brilliant bowling from our side ensured that they would be wrapped up for 37 in around 12 overs. What a game!

This was followed by the MICA day celebrations. Today was also the 20th anniversary of MICA. There was a cake cutting (which I missed because of the match) and a special lunch organized. After the lunch we had a cultural programme which saw active participation from the admin staff and faculty. Nice to see them let their hair down and have a good time. Students also put up a few performances. A few of us made an impromptu performance for SIR on the song SIR We love you :D Recorded the video and it turned out to be quite hilarious! Its become a huge viral at least amongst the MICAns on facebook. All in all a fun day.

But this is MICA and things aren't that simple. In the next hour or so we are scheduled to have a party, the legendary MICAn one. So its going to be a loooong night! Thats why I thought I'd post this now itself. ;-)
