Marathon test series - Study time

The world cup is over, India has won it and now it's time to get serious. My classes have arranged several tests for us in a short span of time, giving me sleepless nights for a week or so. These tests will ideally prepare me to get ready for the competitive exams and so there is no way I can take them lightly.

Just hoping that I do well in them and my results are good. With IPL just a few days away, I don't know how I will manage to cope up with studies and cricket, but I am sure that I will manage to keep a balance of both.

How I met my idol, Virender Sehwag

Image
I still remember the day when I met Sehwag (Dec 5, 2009). Two days ago on December 3, Sehwag walked into the Brabourne Stadium (Mumbai) to start playing one of his most memorable knocks in test cricket. I was in college, and around 12 noon some of my friends messaged me saying that Viru is on fire and just reached 100. I was happy, but at the same time envious as my friends were in the stadium watching him bat live. Well, there was no chance I could bunk my college on that day as we had a set of 3 mandatory attendance days from Dec 2 to Dec 4. Also, I had my Physics Practical Session starting at 3 pm, and thus I couldn't watch the knock on my TV or laptop either. Thus it unfortunately became impossible for me to keep up with the live updates. At around 2:30 pm, my friends texted me again saying that Viru crossed the 200 run mark. My excitement was over the moon, and I requested my professors for a reschedule, but sadly that could not happen and I missed most part of that inning.

What I expect from the Google Nexus 6 (Nexus X)

Image
The Google Nexus 6 may be known as the Google Nexus X . Two reasons, firstly, the famous story Blade Runner features Nexus 6 super-advanced robots, and giving the same name to the phone could have copyright related issues. Secondly, avoiding the nomenclature confusion for their next smartphone which will be the 7th Nexus. Google already hasa Nexus 7 tablet so that's a name clash. Irrespective of the name (Nexus 6 or Nexus X), we know that the 6th Nexus is surely coming, and here is what I expect out of it. I will be addressing the phone as Nexus X in the rest of the article. The basics: 5.3+ inch display Snapdragon 805 (supporting 64 bit) 3 GB RAM 64 GB Storage Android L – that’s obvious That’s pretty straightforward, but what about the other features or specs which are not much talked about? Build Quality Well, I absolutely love the build quality of the Nexus 5, but when compared with devices like the HTC One M8, it surely is a big let down. And now that it’s

My favorite cricketer, Virender Sehwag gets the ICC test cricketer of the year award

Image
Yesterday, the ICC Awards 2010 took place in Bangalore. All the Indians had huge expectations from the two greatest cricketers India has ever produced, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. My idol, Sehwag was nominated in two categories. ICC Cricketer of the year ICC Test Cricketer of the year Sehwag couldn't win the ICC Cricketer of the year, but he managed to proudly receive the award for the best cricketer in the original format of the cricket game, the tests. After receiving the award, Viru said, " It's fantastic to win the award, to take over the title from Gautam Gambhir,  I think I got motivated when Gambhir got this award last time, I was discussing with him that I hope I get it this time and I got it. I'm a huge fan of Test cricket and I love to play it more than Twenty20 or one-day cricket.  When I was growing up, I was playing lot of 10-over, 12-over games, so I had to score off every ball, same thing I have continued. I followed my instincts and
