Finally broke the jinx of not seeing Sachin bat. Whenever I have seen India play, Sachin was either injured/resting or not part of playing 11. Finally got to see him bat when I went for the final of Ranji trophy between WB and Mumbai. Sachin scored a 40+ and gave money's worth for around an hour. The laziness of Sunday was well spent doing something which I absolutely love. Early morning beer and loads of decent quality cricket ! By the by, if you can get hold of some CCI (Cricket Club of India) member do go to Polly Umrigar bar there. You an have fish & chips or plain old potato chips/french fries with beer and watch live action from Brabourne. Food is also decent and pretty cheap for as elitist a place as CCI. You will mostly be dining with who is who of erstwhile cricketing fraternity of India/Mumbai. There is a rare Bradman pic signed by Bradman himself !! Every nook and corner is embellished by artefacts of historical meat.
Evening though was wasted watching Mahesh Manjrekar and Sandya Mridul in Double Deal at Tata Theatre, NCPA. One of the few bad plays hosted there in a long time. Went to Moshe's for the Hummus and Pita starters and Salads.Even that did not remove the pain of wasted time !! Star value do not imply real value ! Speaking of which, I finally downloaded Avial's Nadanadanada from you tube which was introduced to me by IIM A juniors when I was there for our campus fest Chaos. It is by far one of the bestest mallu non film music Ive heard in 25+ years. Also one of the best in it's genre from India - a mix of really energetic hard rock with a bit of thrash thrown in between. So what if it sounds and feels like Linking Park, it is a great debut by these bunch of youngsters (who were even doing rounds in MTV). Way to go. (Check it)

Heyy wait a sec!
Have you deliberately not mentioned Saturday? Now I'm dying to know what you did on Saturday.
Somebody back me up here....
Hi Suhas
I am sure you do not know me - I have ben following your blogs and posts and Pagal guy since the last year and a half and I want to thank you for the wonderful learning and fun I derive while reading them. I know being a consult and that too at THE FIRM makes u run very very busy but I'd rather feel happy silently if you're reading this.
I thought of writing you a coupla times earlier also but somehow all the arrogance and bull-shit abt IIMA-consult junta forced me not to but then i thought you are a GOOD chap first then a very successful one and maybe its jus the perception that makes people propagate this. Kindly do not smell any malice while I tell u this.
I am also a CAT aspirant but I dint get any IIM calls tshi year - working in gurgaon as an ANALYST - and like anyother guy wud love to be in ur shoes....
This was jus to thank you Suhas for the silent -undercover teacher u have been to me at all times- apart from fun the social view in ur blogs is really valuable - and I wish u all luck in ur endeavors ahead...!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last comes the cliche'(You must be tired of this now) You are really amazing sir
Regards,
Purushottam
hi Purushottam .....im so touched by u taking time out to write such a detailed comment...i appreciate it very much..and we do get time to do what we are passioante about in between work :)...
as for arrogance i guess its not always a right notion :)...if wisdom doesnt bring humility its a cause for concern..and if education doesnt bring wisdom its even bigger concern :)...not jus for iims but for any institution...so hope things are changing and people become "wise" :)..
cheers and gud luck for ur career ahead
