Done with all the shifting..Was a li'l tiring..The new apt is pretty good, well furnished etc but its more like a hotel when i compare it with my earlier place..Cant crib 2 much though..Hv to get along..
Was talking to my friend Ashwin abt how ppl fake stuff and how both of us wished every1 or atleast most ppl were a li'l more less pretentious....Kinda interesting stuff 2 talk to..i like to especially talk on such stuff..as they say, enakku vambu nalla vendi irukku !
Vetti vambu!
Nothing much going on except for an assignment and a project..As regards the assignment, BRUTAL's the word ! 2 much !!!

Was wondering on 1 more thing today..dunno y i thot abt it..Was thinking of the indian rupee appreciating a lot against the USD..This could prove bad for the exporters in india i thot..Am not sure if they would hence bring pressure on the central financial agency in india to stem any further rise of the rupee ! Hope my economics doesnt stink !!!

Will b shifting 2 another apt this weekend, which's closer to school..Shud b useful i guess, being close to school, atleast coz of the fact that i wont miss as many classes hereafter(certainly no blaming the bus service if i'm late to class hereafter)...
Some of my friends hv got the F-1 ticket for the indianapolis GP in June..I gotta c what i can do..As of now, my summer plans look like a blur ! Hv to check on that..
Besides, jus following lotsa election stuff..I think its evenly matched b/w bush n kerry here..As for india, i think lotsa masala happening..Dharmendra - feel sorry for him..his election stuff is in tatters..! TamilNadu - again, is highly unpredictable as usual i gez...Hv to c what Cho's opinions r on this regard..He influences in a small way, quite a few middleclass urban ppl in their voting, i wud tend to think...
Nothing elz besides..Another sem coming to an end, another week of pressure( i gez am hyping MS a tad too much !)....
Cheerz !

For those who havent read this already..

This particular para personifies Ganguly
"Ganguly is that kind of man - when it comes to opinions about the Indian captain, about what he means to the team, about his strengths and weaknesses both as a batsman and as a leader of men, we find that the middle ground is so thinly populated as to be almost irrelevant. We love to inhabit extremes when making judgements on Ganguly. "

This' so very true..I, for one, have got into heated arguments with friends on this topic..the best part being that the number of ppl were almost always equally divided on this issue..
I think Ganguly is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket for a long time...True, Sachin was a great thing to happen but that was an individual thing ..Look at the number of players Ganguly has brought out - Viru, Yuvi, Kaif, Nehra and now Balaji..He backs them to the hilt and tries to make sure that they are in the best frame of mind - And mind u, each 1 of the above mentioned has at some point helped India win ... When India was in Australia, Ganguly did not ask the selectors - 'Can i have murali karthi'..He said 'I want Murali Karthik'..! Now, thats the sorta person u need at the helm..(The fact tht karthik did not meet expectations is another matter altogether)..
Ganguly's act of tossing the ball to Sachin to get the last wicket in the third test made me like the 'Prince' all the more....
Iam hoping tht ganguly will be consistent with his batting hereafter..He's a player who can unsettle the opposition (we saw tht in ample measure in SouthAfrica..god, tht was gorgeous)..Afterall, when he hits sixers off spinners, thats one of the better sights in cricket rite now ..!

Whew..! not had enuf of sleep 'coz lost 1 hr due to standard time being restored..(!)..
Saw Virumaandi in the weekend..Pretty ok movie i thot..The villain was pretty impressive..Where was he all this while?
Apart from that, ..F-1 is turning out 2 b a bore..I am a loyal f-1 fan but my interest's waning partly 'coz ferrari keeps on winning and also 'coz my fav team McLaren dont seem 2 really race this yr..Jenson button is taking a dig at McLaren technology.Now this is as bad as things can get..They r missing Mika sorely now..The point is if they develop such a car, wud montoya really join them?..
Following the match 2 an extent..Dont hv any idea as to wat Sadagoppan ramesh's doing rite now....I cant think of another player who's been time n again traumatized by the selection committee..Feel real bad 4 him !
