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.

Yippeee, India has done it. We are now the World Champions, what a proud moment for the entire nation. I was in tears when I saw the Indian team win, and it was an emotional moment when the team lifted the trophy and did rounds of the entire ground.It feels great to have the cup back after 1983. This victory is surely the best cricket moment in my life, as I wasn't even born in 1983. To win the cup after so long, and that too in Mumbai is very special.I was a bit disappointed to see Sehwag get out on a duck, but the victory made me forget all those things as I danced and jumped in joy. What a superb moment it was, proud of all the players of the Indian team. I would also like to share some pics, Indian team celebrates the world cup victory Virender Sehwag and his son Aryavir with the WC trophy

The World Cup fever is certainly on, and with the India Pakistan semi-final to be held tomorrow, the excitement is at it's peak. The whole nation has gone mad, waiting desperately for the match to begin. Meanwhile, I got a gift from my neighbor, a Pepsi Cricket World Cup Jersey to support Team India. It also has the blow-horns, glasses and the face-paint. I am keen to apply the face paint and then watch the semi-final with all my friends on the big screen. Come on India, come on Sehwag, thrash the Pakistanis.Here are some pics,

Yeah, finally the exams are over, the last paper was on 28th, and I'm done with it. All of them were pretty good, with Maths I being the best of them. Maths II wasn't as good as Maths I though. It was a tough task to manage the exams when the Cricket World Cup is on. It was a tough job, but had to be done and I eventually did it. The last paper was Information Technology, which is an online examination. The exam was scheduled to begin at 11 AM on the 28th of March, 2011, but due to a server crash it begun at 12.15 PM. Nonetheless, I managed to do well even after a lot of chaos created there. Well, at the end of the day, I cannot be too happy as some exams are still left, with AIEEE and CET being the notable ones. But still, I certainly have the time to enjoy the remaining part of the World Cup along with some early stages of the IPL.

It was the first match of the 2011 Cricket World Cup, India vs Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the toss, elected to field and then came the Indian openers, Sachin Tendulkar and my favorite, Virender Sehwag. It was great to see Viru starting off with a boundary and then completing his fifty with a six. He looked in prime form and was certainly on his mission of taking a 'revenge'. Also he stayed at the crease almost for 50 overs, and that is commendable for an attacking batsman. I simply loved his 175, who didn't! I'm pretty sure that there is much more to come from Sehwag's willow in this WC, eagerly waiting for the moment when Dhoni lifts the WC trophy and Sehwag receives the man of the series award. That will be a dream come true, not just for me but for the entire nation. Here are some pics from Sehwag's inning and a video. Enjoy!

Well, I have been very busy off late due to my exams and studies so don't really get much time to write much here. The exams have already begun, the only paper done thus far is the first language, English. Next is on 28th. The exams get over on 29th March, 2011. Post board exams I have some entrance exams so first half of this year is gonna be a hectic schedule for me. Hopefully I have God's love and his support and I sustain everything and come out as a winner. Wish me luck guys. Thank you. :) And yeah, even though the exams are on during the Cricket World Cup, I won't be missing the action. WC is more important than exams, isn't it? ;)

Happy new year and a new decade friends. 2011 begins and with it begins one of the most important years of my life. Its important because I have my board exams, followed by entrance exams, the Cricket World Cup, the IPL (with 2 new teams) and above all, my 18th birthday. I am superbly excited to live out the year 2011. To celebrate the new year, I had gone to Matheran along with family and some family friends. What a place Matheran is, amazing. The beauty of nature is in its full glory. The "ghats" were amazing, short and sweet. The long walk towards the city was fun as we were walking on the railway tracks for most of the time. The trains don't come there much, so the tracks are as safe as the road. The icing on the cake was the place where we stayed at the Hill Station. The resort was Misty Resort and I must say that it is one of the best resorts I have seen. Its small and simple, yet beautiful. The place was superb with monkeys, love birds and a rabbit. We named th...
