celebration after India wins the world cup.

Finally India won the world cup ! As per my routine, I continued to work in my study-room with a google tab open showing me the score updates in a corner. when 3 overs were left and India was about to win, I closed my laptop and joined the family for sharing the great moment.


Dhoni Lofted the the ball and the crowd roared with joy. The very moment of winning! I remembered the 1983 Prudential world cup  final witnessed by me. I was 11 yrs old and watching match at neighbor's television as we were not having a TV with us. Lights suddenly went off and whole city was in darkness for an hour. We listened to radio till late night. When lights came back we could watch last two wickets. I remember the last wicket and Mohinder Amarnath running to the pavilion !

Coming back to the present day. Malhar requested us that we should go to Dharampeth to witness celebrations. Raghav was anyway sleeping. So asking my father to keep watch at him, me, Aparna and Malhar went to Shankarnagar square. It was complete traffic jam at night 1.00 pm. No place to park our car. 90% of the mob were college students dancing and waving their hands shouting " India . . . India". I was trying to find out if any of  my student was there in the crowd. But I think they were stuck to their homes due to exams. I couldn't see anybody.

Finally India won. I am happy for Sachin. The honest player has never indulged in to any match fixing attempt.
Fine that India has won.

But I would still say that watching a cricket match for 6 to 8 hours is a sheer wastage of time !

I don't expect you to agree with me !!

A rainy evening

I am working on a recruitment assignment and it's raining outside! I can hear the rains pouring out of my window and can feel the breeze. After a hectic day in college (the day when I don't get to teach is a hectic day for me) with lots of meetings and thorough discussions, new dance groups coming to me and urging for auditions,filing work, updating students' projects work status and all. Tiresome! Then I went to a client in MIDC Hingna for another meeting.

And reached home at 4 pm. Had some rest, some TV (surfing sort) some chat and masti with kids. Back to work now!

Suddenly sky turned black and thunderstorms and then rains! I am working on my laptop, a cup of coffee, song of Mukesh. . . Life is poetic.

Feeling bad that I can't join tomorrow's walk-athlon by wokhardt. I have lectures for MBA students in the morning and then Parent teacher meeeting at Kids' school.

Bye for now!

Teacher's day!

Yesterday was 6th September and students of my class celebrated belated teacher's day! BBA final year class is as usual a very happening and joyful and live class. You can find all .. respect, love as well as naughtiness in their eyes. There was a big cake and all related teachers were invited to cut the cake. For the whole day they were in a mood of celebration. quite emotional touch, flowers, greetings, chocolates etc. They asked me to sing a song so I tried to sing two lines of Mukesh. Song by Prasoon, story by Afzal and thoughts by Saurabh Heda were nice. Rahul & Swati mimed Chaitanya sir very well. I wonder why they could not perform my mimicry in front of me ? Well. You just can't know how and what the students think!

I feel nice being a teacher and adds much responsibility to me as a person.

I have started writing this blog today and would probably write with only three basic threads :
1. Honesty
2. Passion for teaching
3. simplicity.

Somebody has rightly said " It is difficult to be simple".
So. . . bye for today!
