The First Post



Well .... 1st post on this blog.

Nth much to write, hav been thinking for some time about regularly updating my journal. So,here I go....

Its saturday, no class ,and incidently ,no assignment as well. So I'm all by myself.

Its been a typically lackluster day upto now. Got up at 9 am,had breakfast. Saw a chinese movie "To Live" . Serious,tragic, set in the backdrop of Communist China from 1940s to 1970s. Good movie if you r in a mood to watch serious stuff...does get you thinking.

Getting really bored right now. The whole body is aching, coz of 9 consequtive volleyball matches played last night (we were all awake upto 3:30 am). Guess i should hav had some more sleep. Did'nt even take an afternoon nap.
It was damn too good. This time,an open tournament,knockout pattern where participants had to choose their own team.We had 5 teams (2 form 3rd year).

Exhaustive and exciting - Thats what those 4 hours were. And we, on the brink of going out in the league (had to defeat the Mining Machinery - Petro combine by at least 9 points) went on to win Volley Rockers III. Life is strange indeed.


And finally Finished Sam Walton's book on Wal-Mart yesterday (Made in America). Good read. Gave it to Parag at breakfast, who has been pestering me for quite some time now to finish the book. Interesting to know the initial growth story of a $318 bn retailing giant. Their method, approach and cultue.


As of now I'm reading YES MINISTER (By Jonathan Lynn and Anthony Jay), and its fun to know that politicians and beurocrats are more or less same all around the world. All have same thick skin, king size egos and least concern for public.

Maybe I should take a shower now and then head for the canteen, or maybe Emerald.

THOUGHT OF THE MOMENT :

" SO DARK IS THE CON OF MAN "
