Song for the mood: Running to Stand Still - U2
Over a month into the internship now, awaiting my first paycheck. Have quite many plans what to do with that monneey at least whatever remains in hand after treating friends - the way the mathematics works out I have to give 4 parties atleast - then something for my parents and sis (I have no idea what to buy) and then yours truly. I feel it would be a better idea to wait for the second paycheck and then buy for me an electric guitar, yes that is what I am gonna buy. First paycheck ... wow ... didn't think I would be wondering about that anytime soon, but I am eagerly awaiting it; especially since everyone else has already gotten their cut. Whew!
Lot has happened in the week; Ravikanth and Durga (friends and classmates here at IIIT-B) started taking guitar lessons from me this friday. I hope they stick to it, especially since the first 2 months tend to be the difficult ones when you are finding your touch on the fretboard. Speaking of guitaring, my own hopes of playing everyday seem to be going nowhere. Fact am hoping the two of them continue coming for guitar lessons so that I too can play along...
Today I played cricket for Rakesh's team in the ongoing intra-college sports event SPANDAN; I was the substitute for the team, and with Ranga away for the day I was drafted (ahem) into the side - no fancy show, Mr. Santosh knocked my door half an hour before the match and told me, "Get ready you are playing today" - and it turned out to be a good match. I bowled an over, thankfully not bowling too many wides (which I am famous for) but our batsmen had earlier done enough by belting the opposition for 104 runs in 8 overs. We won by a convincing 48 runs. In the afternoon as a last minute entry me and Ravikanth decided to try our hand at Doubles Carrom. We actually won the first board and pocketed 6 points but finally lost 22-13 to Durga and Reddy in a marathon 6 boards session. (Ravikanth was considering a forfeit at the end of the 6 match, irrespective of the result, citing "I am getting bored" as an explanation) Well, alls well that ends well.
Weekends and work don't match ... all my efforts (snore) to do some weekend work are buried Friday afternoon and are reborn not before Monday afternoon. Sigh ... will see how that goes ...
Here's to just another day ... cheers!
