Rub..Rub..A BLOG...:)

I dont even know if people read my blogs anymore..i am sure the regulars visit my homepage and go back empty handed (not that i am giving away money..that would be nice wudnt it)...and this has been happening for a long time...To be fair, i havent even surfed the other blogspots which i normally used to do when the MANIA had started..

All i read in Hemya, Suneel and Phani's blogspots were Cricket and the controversy of Sachin's 194, Dravid's 270...Arre Bhai, koi Irfan Pathan aur Lakshmipathy Balaji ko bhi to praise karo, Veeru ka 309, Anil Kumble's 15 wickets, Yuvraj Singh's 50+ and 100+, V.V.S Laxman's 71 in the final test, Sourav Ganguly's 77 RUN OUT :( and CAPTAINCY :)...Team India stands out head and above the rest in terms of determination, sportsmanship, attitude and skill...KUDOS to them and to us for supporting them every inch of the way..

Apna Akron also has its own brand of cricket (tennis ball cricket) which was on full display at Lee Jackson field on Friday, Saturday and Sunday...18+ people showed up on all 3 days and it was HOPEFULLY the start of a good cricketing summer for the guys who play in the regular team...Weather GODS were happy and so were we...

Spring is finally here and unlike last year it feels good to be out on the roads and playing cricket unlike last year where i was working on-campus on saturdays and sundays :((....it couldnt have been more horrific than that..this year, thanx to the funding, we are all enjoying ourselves...How pathetic that we used to slog our butts working on campus to get $500 monthly and now without too much work (work is there, please dont think BME guys have no work :) )we get paid 1 grand...

Myrtle Beach was a good getaway from Akron for a while, although i went there to escape from the weather here more than to have fun, as i had just returned from India 2 months ago then...Winter was a bit too long here, wasnt it??

I just am in the mood to write today and hence the blog..I even replied to the emails from people who mailed me asking the scenario about funding and living expenses in Akron and BME....strange, considering, most emails are literally dumped even before reading them..

Hard to believe, but i am just 4 months away from my graduation...Just the other day i was thinking about my first year and how mean Akron U was to me...But now, things are looking good here and Akron for once feels beautiful :)

Hopefully, future blogs wont take a lifetime to be posted..

Good Luck guys..

Laters....
