The second post


The Puja holidays had been curtailed this year onwards. And so, unlike previous years, our university classes are resuming right after Lakshmi Puja. This marks the beginning of a busy couple of months, what with all the class tests, viva-voce, extra classes, report-writing and, above all, the semester exams just round the corner. Time again, for work and work !!

I spent the festival holidays in a quaint way....very little study, more amounts of lazy leisure. I did write five lab. reports - one on metrology, four on metallography - and studied a chapter on fuel-air cycles, though...but, they took me two weeks !!

A new thing that i started was writing blogs. While these things didn't interest me initially, now that i have started, I find the exercise quite pleasant and nice to spend my leisure time with. My first blog was just out of the urge to write something...for me, I believe, it's a way to improve my my writing skills. Moreover, I hope to utilize this pursuit of writing blogs to relax, to spend my free-time creatively and fruitfully, and bring about a kind of personal fulfillment.

This year's ICC Champions Trophy, being held in South Africa, has been a good and interesting one. Unexpected results, some close games, and the elimination of some big names have generated curious interest, while sponsors and organizers have been left to ponder over the absence of India and South Africa in the knock-out stages of the tournament.

World no.1 Australia play New Zealand in the final, in an attempt to successfully defend the title they won in 2006, as well as to consolidate their position at the top of the ODI rankings.
