Monsoons and weddings??

My previous blog has scored and the monsoons are HERE!!! But heres the irony of it all. I have to go Kgp today for some 6 days and in all probability the monsoon clouds are not coming along with me yet. I checked the campus webpage and the on-campus weather link made horrific reading. It was 42.5 degrees centigrade yesterday!

Was watching the first round matches of Wimbledon yesterday and i must say.... the Big W is the BAAP of all that's tennis. Firstly the grass courts look so much more beautiful. But then again i guess the don't last long enough owing to all the play that wears it off as the tournament goes into the deeper rounds. Secondly grass is super fast. I mean Safins' serves simply zoomed from his racquet. Infact the ball was already with Srichapan by the time Safin was completing his follow through. Whats more interesting is that the speed change was definitely perciptible on the TV screen as i was used to (till yesterday) watching the ball lumber along the red-clay courts of the French Open.

F1 is coming to disrepute. The ruckus caused is a little baffling. I can't figure out why the FIA did not agree to build an extra chicane. Karthikeyan maybe, is lucky in way not have ended up on the podium at this race even though he had a realistic chance. He'd become a part of dubious history!

6 days at Kgp mean:
  1. No newspapers in the morning
  2. No TV (bad considering I'll be missing Wimbledon AND the Confederations Cup)
  3. No football in the evenings
  4. No guilty feelings about using up Internet Hours
  5. Pathetic food
  6. Rising cigarette consumption
  7. Booze and cannabis whenever i want, IF i want to
  8. Back to unlimited music and movies on the computer
  9. Meeting up with the guys and going nuts

All this notwithstanding the drab drab drab Solid Mechanics subject matter to be studied.
