First day at COLLEGE

Today we had the first day at college and it was quite an eye opener(all the first days really are are as you come to know which hours you are gonna sleep) . The first hour was taken by Renganathan sir as he is going to handle VLSI(very large scale integrated circuits) to our dismay,then the next hour was taken by the silent killer of our department, that is our HOD (T.Mangayarkarasi) in short TM. She is going to handle robotics for us this semester. As one could have expected of her she started lecturing about the importance of project(as if she really cares about us ) also she was all smiles(looks like she wanna earn good name from final years,alas!too late baby), the next hour was truly a surprise with miss Sumathi, she is gonna handle instrumentation in petrochemical industries for us and she turned out to be an empty vessel and so made a lot of noise about us not keeping quiet(phew!,and we are supposed to be final years ), as a matter of fact she was about to call HOD(as if that would shut us up:) ) . As far as the subject is concerned she fulfilled my expectations (which is she proved to be woefully ignorant like other staffs of ICE , nothing new though). After lunch we once again Renga's hour(ofcourse like good engg students we slept promptly) the next hour was that of hod and after taking a bit of class a passed out senior came and lectured us about importance of projects, he was quite a cool dude with an M.S in petrochemical instrumentation from Australia .Then we were sent to Lab we were supposed discuss our improvement in project work in hols(as if there is one) and luckily before our batch's turn came the hour ended and we escaped(for time being though as there is no final escape from project).

ICE is hot

Recently there have been a number of matches between ICE and CSE and to be frank, till now CS has always had the upper hand. In our last two matches against CSE dated on 28th dec 2007 we lost the first match despite of my good performance in batting(got two lives thats why) we could only post a target of 84 against CS, which they conveniently managed in 5 overs or so(their openers did a really god job) and the match ended with Mani leaving in the end(boy he was always hot tempered). In the second match we chose to chase(quiet a wise decision you see) the opening bowlers mica and vinod did a decent job(around seven a over) but however the things got out of control with Samba Shiva in the crease, he was looking dangerous. By the end of 11th over they were 108 but then hari(one of our finest all rounder) proved to be an eye opener, he gave only 3 runs in the last over and once again there was a tiniest ray of hope for victory, nevertheless it was still a daunting task. Our openers oi(came as a replacement for mani) and saranraj built a strong platform for us to start on with and both of them showed some fireworks(two overs 31 runs) which ended with oi nicking one to the keeper's (Sambashiva's) hand. However once again we were under pressure when i came in and saranraj was run out (coz of me). Then Karthick Kannan came in and i was run out(coz of KK as a matter of fact)
,then mica came for batting. KK was out shortly and vinod came for batting, by this time things were really looking serious for us but the way mica and vinod played our fears seemed to be baseless. The CS bowlers were made a laughing stock with av and mica in crease and when mica got out in 10th over we still needed 14 off 12 balls, however we still had av, and hari knew his game well and in the end we won still 3 balls to spare. Phew what a day it was !
