I cherish....
As my days at college come to an an end, I will miss the following things in my college that I would never get back in my life.
1.The greenery interspersed with colourful flowers,birds,peacocks and monkeys too! Its truly nature's paradise and I am very lucky to have spent four years of my life in such beautiful surroundings. I soon have to make a transition into a world of buildings,tinted glasses and traffic.Never again will I get the chance to stay in such tranquil surroundings.
2.Representing as a Microsoft Student Partner in my college. I really got a chance to interact with a wide range of ppl,become comfortable with handling presentations,organizing, through this responsibility and will always cherish it.
3.Enjoying a long.. walk through my college with different experiences in the morning,noon and night.
4.Combined study (or) story telling sessions on days before semester exams in my hostel. I have really enjoyed studying for exams in hostel with no pressure whatsover thanks to the company of my friends who were always ready to teach me knowing my laziness.
5.My hostel stores aunty who used to buy fruits for me daily contributing to the little nutrition I got here!I will remember her for her warm and faithful nature.
Being a hosteler,met a great variety of interesting ppl. Some were absolutely great to look up to,and a few others whom I had little regard for. I realised that, my independence was something that mattered a lot to me and I would never compromise that for anything.So in all, I had a college life which came as a mixed bag of happiness and sorrow and I have no regrets regarding anything.

Cricket World Cup
I have been a huge fan of this game during my school days... watching even a draw-headed test match before my exams.. but somehow it dwindled when I came to college.. Now again... I hav revived some interest with the World Cup underway... I am writing this post just a few hours before the start of the Aus-SA semifinal clash. At this point..I vividly remember '99 World Cup.. According to me it was really an interesting World Cup.. Who can forget the famous Aus-SA semifinal match..! I had my full support for SA once India had bowed out in the Super Six stage.. I can still remember Lance Klusener ( one of my most fav cricketers)'s awesome innings.. Really... it was such a treat to watch him.. But that was not enough to get the South Africans to the finals due to famous run-out. For a moment I was shocked.. but all this is a part of the game.. and there can never be a better cricket game than this. Just some time back I happened to read this interview of the late coach Bob Woolmer one month before his death.. In this Bob has shared his experience about the match.. He has also shared the scenario of the dressing room after the match.
Here are a few lines from Bob's reply when asked about the scenario after the match.
After about twenty minutes,Hansie got everyone around and said 'look guys we have given our best shot, it turned out not to be good enough. We are professional cricketers. We shouldn't dwell on this, we have to get over this. We must all take credit for how we played, lets all take the blame for how we lost.It was a wonderful thing he did, he got the team together. We had a final chat as a team together in a circle. It was a poignant moment in my career, seeing such a strong man Hansie Cronje, lift the team at a very very low time.
Hansie Cronje had done much to the South African team, to mould them as a team.. and was a great captain for his team-mates to look up to.. But in the end what was he remembered for?? Only for his mistake in the involvement of the match fixing scandal.
But thats the way of life.. The society remembers us more for our mistakes than the good.
Anyways.. its all in the game of life and we need to keep going..

1.I have this peculiar habit of adding up the numbers on registration plate of any vehicle I come across to see if it is divisible by 9,11,13,17,19 and a whole a lot of them. I picked up this in my 9th standard when I was reealliee bored travelling to school in auto for around 20 minutes and had noone to talk to.. However this habit has declined a bit.. now that I do not travel often after comin 2 college.. hehe
2.I have always been obsessed with mint. In addition to the normal mint drops, my taste buds also love the fresh mint leaves !! I remember havin it every mornin in my childhood.. though I have them a very rarely these days.
3.Whenever I go out to any restuarant,I cannot think of ordering any thing other than any of the five dishes below...
Dosa or French Fries or Chocolate Milk Shake or Chocolate Cake or rarely Pav Bhaji...
Of the lost.. I just lovvvvvvv Dosas.. butter Dosas.. actuallie I take in lotta fat... dunno how I am still thin!!! Guess I burn it out by doin a lotta walkin by the beach.. hehe
4.Day before yesterday.. I was orkutting soooo much that.. when I went to bed at 2 a.m... I was actualliee orkuttin n scrappin in my dreams too!! heheheehe
