Hi Friends...its been a long day and much as i am tempted to paint a picture of being an untiring Samson,i must admit i am dog tired...its Sandeep's and Nikisha's birthday today....there was a particularly messy Cake cutting at Witching Hour Yesterday.People i considered the future of India's Intellectual,educated,tolerant and civilised society suddenly morphed into blood thirsty Barbarians...Sandeep was beaten to a pulp,the cakes were massacred as people tried to outdo each other at what seemed to be a medieval practice of smothering each other with cake...and general mayhem prevailed...............................but what the hell,everyone wanted it that way,and as is the case in TISS and India,the will of the people prevailed.I had to use all my powers of persuasion,a lot of running away from a cake covered Nikisha,and some heavy duty vibrating of the vocal cords to keep myself from getting "Caked" by people whom i considered Friends...;-)...Srinivasan still managed to get a swipe in...but i ensured there was no more damage...I wish them both a Happy birthday and a long healthy life....personally,my birthdays just remind me that i am growing Older...

Tomorrow is our "Freshers Day"...where the Seniors toast the Juniors...I am sure its gonna be a blast...and cant wait for it...As you can see below,we have been given a Poster of Invitation and the theme is"TWINS" or Judwaa..i.e.we have to come in pairs..with something in common...should be interesting....

Here's an anecdote...Dr.X was teaching us How "Cost" affects production or some such thing...but he was repeatedly pronouncing "cost" as "Caste"....now,we are in an institute of Social Sciences...and a mate was particularly perplexed about how "Caste" could affect production..this was a vexing issue indeed...so he boomed.."Sir...What does "Caste" have anything to do with production..????.."...Poor Prof X had some explaining to do...ha ha ha ha ....
