Day 303 - 3rd September 2011

Got back to campus last night after a week in Bombay during which I had to go to office for some FIF1 work and also got to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home. Didnt have any classes today but had some work lined up which had to be taken care of. Have not been feeling too well over the past couple of days, wasn't feeling great today either. However I couldnt resist the temptation of playing a cricket match in the afternoon. It was an unofficial PGP-2 v/s PGP-1 match. Played on the ground for the first time since the MCL final! The match was a huge letdown though, we got mauled and lost by 65 runs, a very rude wake up call for all of us. It was extremely humid during the game and I must have lost nearly 3 litres of water :P Came back to the room and slept for an hour so.

Had Sania's birthday treat at the Marriot today, courtesy a pretty decent offer from snapdeal. 18 of us feasted on the buffet and as is the case in such buffets, the desserts took the cake(pun intended). Came back with satisfied bellies! Will sleep a little early tonight, still reeling from the after effects of the cricket match and just before sleeping SCAM has sent a mail announcing the opening match of the cricket season with PGP-1 playing PGP-2 tomorrow ;-)

Day 51 - 16th August 2010

My bike arrived today!! Feels great to be mobile again. The funny part though was I lost my three times while riding back to college from S.G road. I thought I knew the road pretty well but riding in the night without streetlights was not factored in. Every junction seemed similar and at cross roads I wasn't really sure where to go. At one point I think I rode half to Gandhinagar and at another point I think I was entering Rajasthan because I had reached a toll booth :-P Eventually called up a friend and told him where I was and asked him how to get to campus. Turns out I was on the right road until I asked a rickshaw driver who sent me in the opposite direction!

Apart from that had a pretty regular day at college. Class was quite empty because of the PM assignment submission. PGP1 later got a stern mail from the prof. saying that this was unacceptable in a B-school and we should get used to it. Will see how effective that mail is during the next submission ;-)

In the evening went to the city to meet my dad and collect the bike as well. Had dinner at the Marriott :-) The best part about these buffets is the dessert, I od'd on chocolate - chocolate mousse, chocolate pudding, choco chip ice cream, chocolate fudge and some other chocolate related items :D Can't think of anything better that can follow such a long list of delicacies so will end this post on a 'chocolatey' note!
