Finally Mumbai is in final !!!

Mumbai Indians are in final of IPL. finally.. whoos... The reason of my fondness towards Mumbai Indian team is presence of Sachin. I am big supporter of MI team from the IPL 2008. But they always disappointed me. Last two seasons, team did not make to Semis even once.

This season they looked completely different side from the word Go. Easily the best side in IPL this season by some distance. This shows that how a team will perform if it has in form Sachin in it. The way he has shown confidence in like of Rayudu and Tiwary, it is commendable. They responded well too.

It was almost the same side last year, which used to find a way to loose a close match. They transformed this year and won almost all close matches.

Today morning, I was nervous that one bad show and they might be out. Nothing of this sort happened... I am jubilant, thrilled and satisfied to see them in finals. Hope they win the final too. Aameen!!!!

Discussion Day....

Discussion/Debate is a method of interactive argument. Some people love doing discussions. My colleague Soham is very good at that . I generally don't get agitated in discussions. Its one good quality in me.

Today was sort of discussion day for me.While breakfast I was involved in discussion over divorce rate in India. Someone said it is 50% in Indian metro cities. I could not comprehend that. TOI reports 40% divorce rate in Mumbai. Personally I don't have much confidence in TOI anyway.

Discussion continued in lunch even after that. Sometimes we can defend, but we don't want to do it since your manager is against you. That's exactly happened today.

Then, after dinner among roommates we started again. Beauty of discussion is topic changes even before you realizes. So we debated over god, religion, human, animal and divorce. We also discussed few topics which can not be mentioned here. It continued until 2:10 AM. Now I should go to bed. I have to get up for IPL match b/w mumbai and banglore.

Photographic Memory - Study with Harry

While going through my old college pics, this one inspired me to write something.

I got a Yashika camera in semester break after 7th sem. Those time digital cameras were expensive and highly uncommon. After reaching college, we started taking pictures to secure memories in photographic format. To get natural pose, we used to avoid looking towards camera.

One day, I called Harry for a "studying" photo together. My room was mess but Harry's room was more mess. So finally my room was selected as venue. We used to do combined study at Harry's or Mayank's room which resulted discussion on various topics including girls hostel more often than not.

Thought of clicking snap makes people meticulous about their looks. Harry did combing which was a rare activity. He got his best t-shirt also. Many books were scattered in room to make it look like some studious guy's room. Alarm clock, which never had battery, was put on table. Harry got his computer science book to make it more natural pose. I got the thickest book I had.

Once everything was ready, we requested someone(I can not remember who it was) to click. Get set go and we have a proof that we did study in college.
