About this and that...

Know the feeling? You know you have to do a certain thing, an obligation to make it happen. When there’s no backing out, no saying “Don’t wanna, not gonna, can’t make me!”, but you want nothing to do with it, run as far away as it's possible to and never look back? Studying for exams, or anything to do with studying in general evokes such sentiments. But I’m going through that phase for something that I just can’t afford to feel like that for: WRITING. I’m supposed to enjoy it, right? Then why do I feel like do anything but write? Probably has something to do with the fact that there are deadlines of sorts now. Takes the joy away from something that I’m rather fond of. A total turn-off!

Hence this attempt at getting back to into the grove of things. The week has been crazy. Two weddings and an almost third one (people have to take a break from getting married!), a meeting that brought about a whole new set of constraints to work exclusively in, being forced to be in company of a six year old who is on a full-time-sugar-high (no matter how adorable he is) and all of it in the blistering heat with little sleep has worn me out to the max. A break from the French classes was welcomed with more than just open arms. Catching up with everything that I’ve missed out on seems to be the mantra for the next couple of days.

Things at IPL are also getting tricky. With Kolkata (psht, they didn’t have a chance with all the *happenings* in and with the team) and Mumbai (some of the people I know haven’t recovered from the heart break yet!) out of contention, and Delhi and Chennai through, the calculations have become complex. A much better position than what we were at yesterday. The amount of maths Prakash and I did to see what the chances of each team were to get into the semis was more than all the maths I did in the whole of last year. It’d be sweet if the Royals and the Chargers would make it into the semis!! The two teams can manage to do anything. One can win a match despite the opposition only needing four runs with three wickets in hands in the last over and the other can lose seven wickets in seventeen balls!!!

In other IPL news, this is something I came across while watching a match today; ORBIT is the official chewing gum of IPL 2009. OFICIAL CHEWING GUM??? What’s next? Official detergent and official toothpaste? As if the “DLF Maximum” and “Citi Moment of Success” haven’t been said enough to make me want to throw up the next time I hear them, now there's an official gum to chew! Can’t help but imagine what it will come to in the next edition. It could be a “Pan Parag wide” and “Lux Cozi free hit” (since we are all about giving importance to the Indian players :P).

Current Mood: Fuck, WE (DECCAN CHARGERS) WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'd hate to be Brendon McCullum right now!)
