Salaam India....!!!
Roads turn into dance floors; firecrackers go off to all over; and people are busy calling and SMSing their near and dear ones...
This wasnt a scene of any Diwali fest.. rather it was India's victory against Pakistan in the spectacular, enthralling and nail-biting Twenty20 World Cup Championship final on monday...
An India-Pakistan cricket match is never short of excitement. so it was monday as the asian titans tested each other skills, temperament and nerves at bulls ring.....
India once again proved that when it comes to World cup cricket, they come on top against their green opponents....
Team india was not having big names in its kittie but overflowing with infectious exuberance..
led by cool captain dhoni who urged them to just enjoy themselves...
It was Gautam Gambhir's mature and crucial knock of 75 in 54 balls after the top order had floundered...which lead to a respectable 156 runs in 20 overs...
Though giving a good start, pakistan's middle line-up collapsed too...Pakistan's last hope was Misbah-ul-Huq, and he tonked Bhajji for 3 huge sixes ...and suddenly pakistan were back in the match.....
now pakistan needing 13 runs from the last over, with one wicket left... Misbah clouted a six and it seemed all over for india.....then he got too cute-trying to scoop that went straight to sree santh.....ohhhhh
The crowed erupted, as did millions of viewers in homes and offices thro'out india....and team india had the big championship that fans have waited almost for two decades.....
Irfan Pathan was adjudged Man of the Match for his brilliant bowling figures of 4-0-16-3.....
Three Cheers to Indian Cricket Team....!!! Hipp hipp huryeeeee........

Five Point Someone.....!!!
Recently I intrigued while reading FPS (Five Point Someone) because it relate us with
heroes of that book.. the friends of IIT ‘s….Alok, Ryan and Hari and easily reminisced our
college days one by one…
how we were in our college??.... careless, moody, nothing to do anything about study till S.E.…..always enjoying quirks on each-other, mami’s pohe, butter chicken of balaji and last but not least FOKAS…. in short life was so much of fun for us.
That’s why, we get off to a bad start in our alma mater - KBP but who cared..?? we screw up the first year. And while we tried to make amends, things only have gotten worse. It took us a while to realize: If you try and screw with the system, it comes back to double screw you. eventually, we FLUNKED in S.E. which crestfallen us. Before we knew that, we were at the lowest echelons of engineering society. We had a five-point-something GPA out of ten (very low marks), ranking near the end of our class. These marks were a tattoo that remained with us, and came in the way of anything else that matters - our friendship, our future, may be some of us’s love lives. While the world expects engineer’s to conquer the world, we guys were struggling to survive. Nothing to say more…you know.
Now, we almost all, are taking heavy packages. Prima facie it may seem so easy to reach this level but wonder how we have rubbed our asses in T.E.& B.E. while mugging Video and other subjects. At that time, i never thought this can b happened with me …or us we can say. getting a job or starting a blog may not be a big deal for others but it means a lot to us guys……what say??
So guys, giving rest to your lackadaisical attitude, be ready to share your knowledge, sheer xperiences and most important don’t hesitate to share your problems too. We are a family. And we cant just be alive without our family..right?? Winding up with this…bye. Keep rocking.
