Day 246 - 30th March 2011

Today was D day for India and Pakistan and all other things became secondary. We generally have the annual awards ceremony the evening before the convocation, however this time on account of the semi final, it was shifted to morning. The college must be given credit for giving out the cash prizes and recognizing meritorious students.

The match was screened in the audi which was packed for the first innings when India batted. Needless to say the atmosphere was electric but as Kaushik put it, people started analyzing all the ads(but this is MICA, cant help it!) People had their faces painted, the tri colour was flying in all its glory and the chants never died down. To top it all India won the game and proceeded to the finals at Mumbai. This is Sachin's dream come true, playing the finals of the cricket world cup at the Wankhede! Cant wait for 2nd April now.

After the euphoria of the victory died down, realised that I have to start packing! Did a majority of it within an hour or so. Had dinner at Chota. Extremely tired, sleeping at 3.
