Nirvana? No way!!!!

I just can't get enough of this song right now! Come on Mihir, focus, dissertation, focus!

I am so sorry for the delay, I have officially lost track of time! The other day me and a friend were trying to remember what month it was! Anyway, its been really long I blogged, so just though I'll give you guys an update of what I've been upto. The first week of May was a real killer as we had to run through the presentation we prepared to show the company we were interning for and the professors ofcourse. That went well, better than I'd hoped for infact! Our team was awarded the best team prize for presentation and performance by te Management Department!! We will get a certificate and a book token at the Graduation Ceremony in December. The rest of May was a bore, there was my birthday, even that day spent working:( The last few weeks were spent searching for an apartment as our contract with the university accomodation was ending first week June. We did find a superb place, and after squabbles and misunderstandings, we finally rented it. I moved out of Kelvinhaugh Str...

Leaving India, the last thing on my mind was playing for the University Cricket team! It was just amazing to come back to playing professional cricket which I had completely abandoned about 10 years back in Mumbai. Our university cricket tour started as a disaster, which was well expected. Neither did we have any practice nor did we know our fellow mates! Despite the short-falls, we lost a nail biter against St. Andrews by 3 wickets. For the next match the team was in high spirits thinking that the last match was practice enough to beat the next competition-Napier University. Not very well known, Napier University is situated in Edinburgh and it was their home game this time round. Taking cue from our loss in the last match, we let the opposition bat first which turned out to be the worst decision of the day! In a 45 over match, they hammered us for 300! It was the first time many of our players even stood on the ground for one inning of 45 overs which meant that our legs were giving w...

I always wondered about the meaning of the proverb, never actually found the time to even try finding out. Well, not until now! Last week I decided to get rid of my boredom and get some cooking (actual cooking!) done. While opening a can of peas, I ended up slicing open the lower skin of my left thumb. Never in my life had I seen so much blood and that sight of torn skin, oh! it was almost too much to handle. Luckily, without loosing consciousness I was able to wrap a bandage and stem the blood flow and without any hesitation, called over Akhilesh and Farhan to take over the situation. I would really like to thank them again for their help in getting me out of the shit I got myself into! Anyway, thinking that that was the end of that episode, I went along the next day doing activities I may never have done even if I was in tip top shape! For some reason, Iwent lawn bowling with friends and later an exasperating session of Squash. The next morning I went just out of curiosity, to the...
