Diary 12: Sourav Ganguly

Yesterday I wrote the Diary a bit early. After that, just a few things happened. One of the major things was that I started a shared blog along with four of my friends (till now three of them have accepted the request). I named the blog "Post Box" for now, and I will share the link to that blog soon. Another news was that of the IPL - "Ganguly going to play tomorrow". I was skeptical this time, as I expected him to play in the last match itself. After the dinner, I tried to sleep early at 12:45 am, but was not able to. I woke up and looked up the train routes  in Harbor line, as I was planning to go to office next day. I slept finally at 2:00 am. I woke up at 9:00 am, and messaged both Sushma and Ankit that I will be coming to office. Then, I went online and had a chat with Gil regarding the salary and also discussed the work for today. It was 10:15 am, and I started feeling lazy. So, I decided that I will not go. Today, I also decided that I will not watch any TV episodes, so I started working immediately. I also posted some blog posts in the new blog, which already has many visitors from India and US. I keep on working on the assignment till lunch, and after that I just waited for the IPL match between Pune and Deccan Chargers to start. Finally, DADA was playing. Pune fielded first and restricted Deccan to 136 in 20 overs. Pune were comfortable in their chase. Sourav came in at number 3, and played a very nice knock of 32 off 32 balls. It was so good to see him play after so long. I like comebacks, and he is the king of comebacks. He hit 3 fours and a six also. Let's see what he does in the coming matches. After that match, I surfed the net for a while, and started writing this post. Right now, there is a match going on between Mumbai and Punjab, and Punjab has had a very good start till now. Let's see how much they can put on the board. Now, I plan to watch the match, and then try to sleep early again, as I need to go to office at least once. I may watch one or two TV episodes of my regular TV series.

Diary 11: Wireless Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am after completing the CSI:Miami episodes. Before that, I went online with my new yahoo id and randomly wrote on chat rooms about how I am frustrated in life. Somehow, one person named Imran from Kolkata pinged me and started consoling me. In this process, he said that he has also faced the same type of problems, but is still hanging in there. I added him to my friends list and then went offline. Today I woke up at 11:15 am, and messaged Sushma that I am not coming to office as I am not feeling well. Then, I went online and told the same to Ankit. After that I started watching CSI:Miami, and watched it till the lunch time. Today also, I was not in a good mood considering the events of yesterday but was just fine. Then, my sister asked for the internet and I gave it without any hesitation otherwise it would start another argument. So, I just watched the loaded episode and then went to the other room and slept for a while as I had nothing to do. Then, I had my lunch at around 3:30 pm. I found out that my sister still needs the internet for chatting, so I decided that we need a wireless router, so that this situation doesn't occur anymore. So, I just went to the nearest mall (Little world) and bought a wireless router (Belkin). I came back, and started setting it up. It went fine for my office laptop, but was causing problems for the home laptop. Finally I gave up and called the Belkin customer support. They helped me figure out the problem, and hence both the laptops were now connected. If this would not have happened, then there was no point of a wireless router. Well, I handed over the home laptop to my sister and started watching CSI:Miami on my laptop. I watched it till 7:50 pm, and then went on to watch the IPL match between CSK and RR. This is an important match as both teams are in race to be in the top 4. Right now, I am watching the match, and as I see CSK lost its first wicket (Mike Hussey). Next, I plan to watch the match and then the CSI:Miami episodes. I want to sleep early today as I need to go to office. Also, I may not go with my father from now on as the driver has been sacked due to high fuel costs - the car had to travel some extra in a heavy traffic for me. So, I don't want to cause problems again. Train is the best option after all, and I will try to stick to that. Signing off now.

Diary 10: Terrible Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I checked my mails, facebook and all. Then, I started watching CSI:Miami. I had to pick up my sister from tuition by 12:30 pm, so I left home and then came back by around 1:30 pm. After that I again watched CSI:Miami for a while. Then, I went to the drawing room to have lunch. Now, something happened, a small fight between my sister and my mother escalated and I lost my temper. I left the table, and went to my room and threw my bag at the door. I was angry because my mother said that someone else wished her mother's day and we didn't, and she started crying. Personally I don't believe in wishing, I believe that everyday is a mother's day, everyday is important, every moment I spend together with my mother is important. But, no one would understand this. I try to teach few things to my mother, rectify those, but the result is that I get the red eye of everyone. Well, I have decided once in for all that I will stop interfering and rectifying others, and just focus on myself. I have many errors to correct. So, the rest of the day I just stayed in my room, and came out only for two occasions - evening Tea and dinner. Lets see how it turns out. My way of interacting and creating memories is not acceptable in this house, so be it. I will just live alone, aloof and take whatever comes my way. Unfortunately, this has become the only truth of my life. No one to talk to, no one to look forward, just me and my brain. Today, I watched the IPL matches on my laptop. First match was RCB v/s Kochi. RCB changed there jersey to green as they are promoting the "Go Green" campaign. Anyways, The match was pretty much one sided, and once again Gayle was explosive. Now, for the next match I expected Saurav Ganguly to play, but Pune didn't pick him for the playing eleven. I was utterly disappointed. I guess the events of the day just brought this up. Nothing went right today. I just wasted my whole day watching CSI:Miami, and thinking about my life at present. Presently, I am watching the match between Pune and Punjab, and it looks that Pune will win easily, as Punjab didn't put up scoring much (just 119). And as I am writing this post, Pune has won it. Now, I plan to watch the loaded episodes of CSI:Miami and then go to sleep at around 1:15 am. 

Diary 9: Nothing much

Yesterday I slept at around 5 am, after watching CSI:Miami. Today I woke up at around 10:45 am. I had no particular tasks to complete. I remembered then that I have to send some documents to NuMantra Technologies for verification purposes. So, I collected the documents from different sources and sent them by 12:15 pm. After that, I started watching CSI:Miami season 2, and continued that till lunch. After I had my lunch at around 3 pm, I continued watching CSI:Miami till 4 pm, when the match between KKR and Chennai was supposed to begin. But I found out that rain has delayed the start, and the match will start at 5. So, I just surfed net, and watched CSI:Miami till 5. Then I started watching the match (I was wearing the KKR T-Shirt I bought yesterday). The match was totally one sided. Chennai started batting but were never able to let loose. They ended up with a mere 114 in their 20 overs. KKR's chase was very comfortable and they were going on nicely, when rains started again. Finally KKR won by D/L method, and ended up with 14 points on the points table. Well, as soons as this match ended, the other was on its way. My mom and dad went out for shopping, and also to bring my sister from the tuition. I started watching the Mumbai v/s Delhi match. Mumbai started off in an amazing fashion, with Blizzard living up to his name, but soon Mumbai lost Tendulkar to a nice in-swinger by Irfan Pathan. I wanted him to play well today to close the gap between him and the orange cap, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Mumbai ended up with a huge score of 178. Delhi's chase was a shame. Sehwag lost his patience as usual. Anyways, Mumbai won the game by 32 runs, and ended up with 16 points on the points table. At dinner, we had pani puri today, and then we dispersed to our rooms at around 11 pm. I also found out that I have been rejected by IIM Indore too, which didn't affect me much. I will inform my parents tomorrow. Next, I watched another episode of CSI:Miami, and then found out that Ganguly will be playing tomorrow for Pune Warriors at Mohali. I am excited about it, although I have no high hopes from him. Now, I plan to watch another episode of CSI:Miami and then sleep at around 2:30 am.
