It couldn’t be worse than today. Pakistani terrorist attack Sri Lankan’s cricket players. Six of them wounded, but survived!
I remember India pulled out of Pakistan’s tour after the deadly Mumbai attacks. That country is more like a “deadly paradise” and the latest attacks is the final nail on the coffin of the already cash-stripped Pakistan Cricket Board.

Invincible Team India
Once I used to curse Indian Team for their continuous defeats. The time has changed, their streak of victories hasn’t left much excitement in the tournaments as it used to be in 1999-2000s. England is presently touring India and after kicking the whites 5-0 in One-days, the first test match is also ours. We own the English.
Magnificent show of skills by Sehwag, Yuvraj and last but not the least Master Blaster “Sachin Tendulkar”. Sachin’s 41st hundred. OMG! Can anyone easily break it?
Thanks to both the teams for giving an excellent test match. I really enjoyed watching it.

The Monday Nightmare
So finally the much dreaded sessionals came again. This time its starting on Monday,3rd March. One of the things relaxing me is that my brother’s exams are also starting on that day. Yeah! He’s in class 10 and this is his CBSE board exams. I wish him best of luck from my bottom of heart.
His situation may be quite good and on mine side its just the reverse. I got dreaded theory papers, some of them have to be mugged up 
The only 3/5 papers which I think am capable of giving is Computer Graphics (which has less syllabus), TCP/IP which has HTML,CSS and JavaScript this time (so a bit relaxed) and Financial Management which is quite realistic paper.
The rest two are Software Engineering where we have to deal with Software evolution, ISO Certification. Software Testing stages and all those practical things in a very bookish way! The last one is Compiler Construction- its easy but very damn irritating. The language of the book is very unusual, its all the crap which we studies in Assembler design but a bit more complicated with States and all.
Besides we have India v/s Australia match tomorrow, have to seat myself forcefully to finish off the lengthy nightmares. Both of the two papers on Monday are more than half untouched. Hope Team India shows up a perfect play. My best wishes to them.

LUG Manipal Workshop & Blue Waters
As usual am late in blogging about any event. On Saturday we ended our two day workshop on “Using Linux”. The turnout was not as much as we expected, still the event was satisfactory. We need to change our way of thinking for the future events, the way of organizing events as in present scenario pulling the people to the event is a tough job.
On the second day we invited our sponsor Swaroop Hegde from Racked Hosting to introduce him to our LUG members. He gave a nice and appropriate speech on his experiences on activities in this college. RH has some more plans in his mind to boost the turnout and activities of the group. Check out the Press Release on their site relating to the sponsorship.
Secondly India won the fourth match of the Commonwealth Bank series. Ishaan Sharma is at his height of glory. He is being dubbed as the next big thing in the world of bowling. Hope India continue their victory in the upcoming matches.
Thirdly, today am invited to Blue Water on the occasion of my friend’s bday. The environment will be quite joyful, lots of dance and booze. Hope am not forced! You smell something burning?

Cricket is no more a genteman’s game
For the last 3-4 days lots of developments are going on in the Cricket world which will surely make cricket fans unhappy. The old and useless umpire Steve Bucknor made uncountable mistakes in the second test of Australia. All of these went against India while the BCCI was sleeping tightly while the players were being meted out with this treatment. The team management decided that they would not complain against the umpires to pacify the matter. Injustice didnt stop here, Symonds complained Harbhajan Singh of racial accuse and while there was not evidence, he was banned for three tests.
Now when BCCI woke up from the deep slumber, ICC bowed and sacked the partial umpire from the third test.Harbhajan ban has been temporarily lifted, not revoked. I still dont believe that partial ICC who always tortures the Asians and sets free players from other countries. After all its chief is Malcolm Speed is also from Australia, a country known to be king of sledging.
And on the other part. The blog which I mentioned in the last post, got even more hits yesterday, which hit a double-century. Here are some of the snaps of the blog stats.

Exams drawing to a close
So finally a big headache is over. Am very much relaxed after giving this Operating System paper which was my most hated paper theoretically and most loved paper practically. Who will say that the person who keeps promoting Linux himself gets so less marks in this paper and has least internals of all papers. Just one more paper left -”Computer Networks” on Tuesday. Leaving home on 13th (Thursday)
Yesterday even paper I didnt get rest, left for railway concession, a whooping 5 to 9:30PM shift was something I never expected. Finally came to room, got a movie and watched it till 4AM. I was really tired, still 
On the sports end, Yuvraj and Ganguly played the test match like they were in a 20-20 match. Even Pathan reached a century and no more comments on Dada! He achieved in making his debut double century. The return of the Dada!

Indian cricketers prove their might
This is my first attempt of live blogging. It will be for the sports religion of India-”Cricket”. The Men in Blue showed up an excellent performance yesterday. Ganguly came back in his aggresive form (104 runs) to say “Greg! Here goes my end of career… :D”. Greg Chappell is a loser. Even Jaffer and Laxman scored centuries. Dhoni and Dravid half-centuries. The one person unlucky was again Sachin who missed his century. Wasim Jaffar was the man to hit a double-century.
On the other side, Pakistan lost their wickets in the beginning as Misbah came back to their rescue. Akmal is giving him full support. Presently they are on 84* and 83* respectively. They might even save the follow on!

River of sorrows
So here finishes my third sessionals. Am back after a long break. This was very crucial to me, except that I left one, badly spoilt two and rest two god knows.
From the cricket end, India v/s Pakistan test match is going on. I was hardly interested in such slow and dull games. I admit that test matches are a place for players to show their talent, but its damn boring for the viewers. Presently Pakistan is leading by some 150 runs. India needs a good comeback and I do hope so.
Since exams have finished ( the bigger one is still to come), I may rest completely tomorrow and start getting photocopies and knowing the syllabus correctly. These two are the most important things to do before exams rather than studying. 
And lastly, finally I received a gift for my bday. That too after 3 months!!! What I got? A sweet, cute wallet and a photo stand. Wallet was the thing which I wanted urgently, and for that Photo Stand, shall I put the pic of my sweetheart or myself? And a final question- “Who Gifted it to Me?”. Well the answer is simply straightforward because we guys always act like misers…

Loads of Bday Parties
As usual I am late in blogging, well this birthday party was at Purple Ace of one of my close friend Ankur aka Rock. His Bday was on 10th September but as usual he gave the party as i did along with 3 other people. The party was awesome, people rocked the dance floor especially we section-B guys except the gals who were missing.
Moving on the the cricket end. After winning the first match by 5 wickets, they set to face the Pakis again tomorrow, may god help them.
And finally but not the least, updates from the adacdemics side. Today was the lab sessional of networks lab. We people got pretty easy question. Completed it in quarter past a hour and left the lab first. Sometimes I do have an achievement.
