Hi. Long time since I updated my page, and I must admit its due to nothing besides my lethargy. Thanks for getting back here.

Local:
Answer scripts expected anytime
for term-II, so getting ready for a quick nosedive.
RG competition of
another kind generating a lot of interest amongst all Junta. But, a few
loopholes in the rules remain: like bidding for, say, an abnormally high
number and then just having as many RGs as you wish, to walk off without
the Cash prize. But, hey, what of the RGs ? To me, its a sufficiently big
prize by itself.

A wasted day, so far that is- with no productive output so far except 4 %
of my ManCom project- translated into Hindi, it means 1 page of the 25
that have to be written. And with SOAPBOX
round the corner, just about 23 minutes from now, more progress appears as
likely as a Saturday without a quiz.
Yesterday's SOAPBOX
was fun, with Ashish Pandey and
Mohit
Kandhari stealing the show on either side of the fence.

Joke of the day-
An American happened to participate in a competition, which was about
writing the shortest story. The organizers had put a condition that a
story must have four ingredients viz. religion,sex, suspense and mystery.
When the Americans' turn came after many attempts by others. American gave
a story, which was just one sentence and read
"Oh god, my wife is going to deliver a
child".
Ostensibly amused, the organizers asked the american whether it
contained all the four ingredients! American replied affirmatively and
gave his explanation as below:
Oh god: religion
My wife: sex
Going to deliver a child: suspense (whether a girl or a boy)
"Okay.... but where is the mystery ?" asked one of the
organizers.
The American replied: who is the father?
The American was the winner for writing the shortest story!
