Arbit stuff.....
The runout of Murali by McCullum... Its just not cricket !!!
A half-decent comment by Sanjay Manjrekar when Chanderpaul got a runner after being injured in today's ODI against WI... That as sports are getting increasingly physical, doesnt make sense to have a 'runner' concept.... Quite an anachronism ( As he said, it wasnt his idea... But atleast I heard it thanks to him, and despite being a die-hard cricket fan and one opposed to 20-20, I think this is a good point)
Indian 1st innings... Some really awesome strokeplay from Sachin. And rearguaard action from Ganguly. 3 cheers for DADA ! Takes some balls to be able to make a comeback, and then to deliver !
Enf of cricket...
Yesterday's visit to chawls' in Old Ahemdabad as part of our ISPE project... the poorer side to the city... Where water supply is 1/2 hr a day and sanitation not present... The side we choose not to look at. Can we do anything for them? With them? In a sustainable manner?
As one of the richer houseowners in the chawl said, the problem is not just from one side... The govt doesnt do much, but the ppl dont exactly help either. They dont protest when one of their own neighbours undercuts the others by taking the communal water connection for himself... And encroach into the road and build houses on top of manholes... How will the municipality clean the sewers then?
It remains to be seen if we can brainstorm with them and find some solution....
A poster making session.... Again part of the ISPE course. All students as groups of 4-5 to submit posters of whatever they felt.. And one of the profs who was asked to judge refuses on the basis
"Why are almost all the posters with negative themes? These are supposed to be the leaders of India in the future... Whats gonna happen if they are all cynical about India?"
Food for thought indeed....
A visit by CPM's Sitaram Yechury (Yet again ISPE -> This course is a non-credit course i.e. no grades.... but I believe is as vital as any other.... )

And at the end of his speech, Q&A session... Quite a few hard questions... But the tactful politician that he is, he handled very well ... And the prof who's taking ISPE for us says afterwards "IF u all had bothered to do enough homework, and been abl to pin him down with statements he and CPM have made in the parliament... and policy decisions they have taken, u could have been able to have a more lively discussion." True indeed....
Guess that as much thought as I am capable of for one day.... Now, back to muggin and the works. :D
And I wonder when I will write again !!
