Amongst all these events I forgot that I had to get myself a project or an internship somewhere. I tried at a lot of places nothing seemed to click. Finally I sent my CV to Mott macdonald, a consultancy firm. After 2 telephonic interviews I was selected. Only formalities are left. The best part of this is that the project will be in Ahmedabad and it would be a managerial internship.
Everything this year is turning out to be good from exams to work to interns to sport to life. I hope this continues till NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2007.... ;) . I need this ladyluck till March 2008.

Ecell farewell
Ecell farewell
It was monday, 26th March 2007. It was scheduled to be the farewell of the final years of the Ecell. It was great that all the final years had turned up. The venue was RAMYAS roof-top. The programme started with me giving a senti speech followed by a energetic speech by Arya. Then we gave away the mementos to the final years and listened to their senti words.
Then Sharath announced the names of the next year's office bearers. Palash was named the overall co-ordinator. Harish was named the treasurer. Arya was named the vice-president and man who will receive bumps after everything, the president, would be yours truly.
Then everyone except me, Akshay and Amol boozed. Then was the annex session on the emerald terrace.
In all an eventful night.

birthday- before and after
RUBY CUP
Round robin
We were really tensed on whether we would qualify for the next round of RUBY cup. Our final match was against Zircon malgadi. We had to win by a margin of atleast 15 runs. I was looking in good touch but one full toss and my over-confidence resulted into my wicket. Due to some responsible batting by the rest of the team members and a burst at the last we reached 80 runs. Now our job was to restrict them to less than 65. The first over was excellent. They were 7 for 2. But then diasater struck. Anil bowled a real bad over conceding 20 runs of 4 balls and he also got himself out of the match by bowling two beamers. We had lost almost all hope but then some magnificient bowling by Nandu, Biru and Akshay restricted them to 57. We were so happy. We were into the next round.
Knock-out stage
We were pumped up but our next match was against EMERALD CHIRICKS. Supposed to be one of the best teams. We had a bad day on the field. We conceded 80 runs and we struggled to score even 50 runs. All in all it was a bad match for us. We were out of the tournament.
That was the end of the cup for us but 3 of our third year teams managed to get to the finals.
Finally GARNET GURU's won the RUBY CUP.
BIRTHDAY BLUES & BUMPS
I knew I would be kicked real badly and I was too. My ass was totally numb. The whole night I could not sleep properly as I was lying on my stomach. The bumps were OK but India lost their match against Bangladesh. This was the worst possible start to the world cup.
India did well against Bermuda but again lost to Srilanka. It did not deserve a seat in the next round. Anyways all is over. Lets focus on the future.

Cup Confusion
The league rounds of Ruby Cup are midway and clearly our group is the most open of all the groups. In our group all four teams now have an equal chance of qualifying. Till yesterday emerald topguns, pearl jam and we had won one match and lost one match. Our net runrates were almost the same. We had a slight advantage as our net run rate was marginally higher.
Yesterday there was a major turnaround in the event. Emerald topguns had successfully chased 94 runs in 9 overs. Thus they not only gained the winning points but also improved their net runrate phenominally. Tonight there is another match between pearl jam and zircon malgadi. If malgadi win then our route will be clear else we will not only have to win but also do it convincingly.
In other matches the nri team lost badly to sandiyars but full marks to them for their excellent team spirit!!
I will be back with more details of our confused group tonight.
