I have been away frm my blog for , like, forever now...and its been a roller-coaster of a ride ths last 2-3 months...right frm the time i got my first admit frm CMU to the surprise admit frm Stanford to the amazing PF this yr (my last for a few yrs to come :( ) to last few weeks at HP to constant travelling to getting the visa power to last week in Bangalore! phew!! it hs been quite a year this...the next week will c me bid goodbye to a lot of thngs quite dear to my heart...its gonna b tough, probably not as tough as it ws 2 yrs ago, leaving pune :( but nevertheless tough...but more on tht l8r....lets not get nostalgic ahead of tim whn thrs so much more to talk abt :)
last few weeks hv been amazing, diffrnt to say the least...lemme do a wind up so tht i cn feel i never missd writing on my blog :)
1. IPL 2.0 ws amazing, contrary to wt most ppl said...i followed it completely and hd a gala time...esp in the latter half...rohit sharma, suresh raina, gilly, rp, haydos rocked the scene!! but perhaps the real star of ths edition ws fakey, with his witty, at times Madhur Bhandarkar-ish 'skeletons-out-of-the-closet' kinda writing, tht set this IPL apart frm the prev one...SRK hd a torrid time and so did Sachin...the first ws a delight to watch, the second ws just painful...i hope Sachin helps his team to win at least one major tournament final b4 he hangs up his boots...
2. Today FedEx tries to giv anothr shot to winning the only grand slam thts eluded him al these yrs...and surprisingly his nemesis isnt gonna b thr to stop him frm doing it...altho tht mayb a comforting thot fr al FedEx fans, including himself (cudnt resist tht, sorry :) ), the giant-killer may well prove to b handful fr the suddenly-turned-sentimental-and-all-mushy FedEx...i still hope Fed wins tho...he deserves to b rit up thr wit the GOD- Sampras! :)
3. ManU lost the Champions League final! i hv nothing more to say!
4. Watched Vicky Christina Barcelona...found it intriguing, even appealing...Woody Allen hs always given us interesting movies full of interesting characters....Penelope Cruz particularly rocks...so do Javier Bardem and Rebecca Hall...
5. India finally got a "stable" govt thts free frm "debts" of all kinds...so nw v can expect some "tough" and progressiv decisions to b made in yrs to come...plus the cabinet hs quite a few "young" leaders...so expect to c a 40 yr old PM "soon"...mayb in anothr 100-150 yrs!
5. And... Stanford let me in... :) even the US govt hs given the green signal...so if all goes well, come Sept, i'll b continuing writing my blog frm SF :)
Cheers to wt has been and wts to come in days tht'll follow! :)
