Post Eval

Well the eval got postponed a bit and that definitely prolonged the misery.
My panel was pretty peaceful. It comprised of my guide and two other profs.As I am in the goodbooks of my guide he did not ask a single question.While i was giving my presentation 2 of the profs were bhaating and the other kept looking at his watch. I thought of stopping in order to attract their attention, but instead continued. I was asked a single question which i satisfactorily answered after which i was given some suggestions. The eval was over in no time. End sems are a month away.
So now, I have lots of free time on my hand.There are lots of extracurricular activities that can be done in IITkgp. But i plan to sleep, bhaat, watch cricket and just enjoy life. I am a voracious reader,so i plan to finish a couple of novels. Infact i have started " The Last Juror" by John Grisham. It seems to have a gripping story line and a has a fast paced action. After Maxim Gorky's Mother i wanted an action oriented novel or a thriller. I think Last Juror fulfills the above criteria.
The interviews for the IIMs are going on. So, best of luck to all
IIM aspirants.
As the cricket season is in full swing I leave with u some of Sidhu's famous quotes

1. That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it.

2. There is light at the end of the tunnel for India, but it's that of an incoming train which will run them over.

3. Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.

4. This quote was made after Ganguly called Dravid for a run and midway sent him back and Dravid was run out in the third test against the West Indies at Barbados. "Ganguly has thrown a drowning man both ends of the rope."

5. Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taximeter.

6. Statistics are like miniskirts,what they hide is more important than what they reveal.

7. Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!

8. He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30!

9. The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings!

10. As uncomfortable as a bum on a porcupine.

11. The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.

12. The Indians are finding the gaps like a pinn a haystack.

13.The pitch is as dead as a dodo.

14. The way Indian wickets are falling reminds of the cycle stand at Rajendra Talkies in Patiala, one falls and everything else falls!

15. You cannot make Omlets without breaking the eggs.

16. Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a goal keeper. He must be given a free transfer to Manchester United.

17. He will fight a rattlesnake and give it the first two bites too.

18. One, who doesn't throw the dice, can never expect to score a six.>

19. This quote was made after Eddie Nichols, the third umpire; ruled Shivnarine Chanderpaul 'NOT OUT' in the second test at Port of Spain T&T. "Eddie Nichols is a man who cannot find his own buttocks with his two hands."

20. Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.

21. Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.

22. You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.

23. The cat with gloves catches no mice.

24. Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth.

Actually I write what i feel, and it might be offensive to a few. Also, i hate 'time for a new post' genre of comments. Hence, i don't put up my url anywhere except my own blog.
For the new chapter, might be it will take some 20 days. Currently, am too much tensed to think anything novel. Thanks for asking though.
