Finally CCD has opened up in my campus and it is offering lucrative discounts (perhaps around 40%). I am planning to make such a good deal of use of it that I wont be wanting to go other non IIT CCDs with no 40% discounts after i leave college (except on treats of course!)
Trivia: The 1st CCD was opened in Bangalore in July,1996. 

India won the Nehru Cup beating Cameroon in the finals. I learnt the name of some Indian footballers apart from Sunil Chetri- Robin Singh, Denzil Franco, etc. Definite signs of progress in Indian Football.

If you want to play poker you can come to my wing. If only Tennyson would have been lived in my wing he would definitely have said "Men may come and men may go but poker stays forever" !! I don't mind poker as long as it does not involve actual money for buy in and also it is not strip poker. 

I once read a short story by Jefferey Archer involving Strip Chess. The author was a chess player at a club and he invited this pretty girl to his apartment for playing chess. The author figured out that the girl was not much of a chess player so he offered bits of money each time the girl won and the girl was suppose to take off a piece of clothing when the author won. The author was making easy progress. In order to keep the girl from leaving the game he made a final offer of grand amount of money against the last piece of clothing. The plot reveals a twist- she was actually a hell of a player and was keeping the author in deception till then and beat him in a few moves in the last game leaving him stunned. Obviously the story teaches us not to select a girl for Strip chess without proper scrutiny! Anyways i don't play chess let alone strip chess!

I have bought The Lord Of The Rings book recently. These few lines by Sunday Times were enough for convincing me-- "The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings and those who are going to read them". I was really surprised to know that Frodo was more than 40 years old in age! He looked not more than 15 in the movies!

The companies have started coming for interns and placements. There is this Deutsche Bank who offer lots of money but make a lot of fuss before hiring people. Don't complain if you have never seen their ATMs ever. A friend of mine from Bokaro -Shantanu got selected for the intern and was so pleased that he did something i am not supposed to write about it in public. But i will give a hint - He gave us a tr*at ! Anyone with non negative IQ should be able to figure it out!

If you want to read difficult words to improve your vocabulary as well as know the plot and review of Ek Tha Tiger or Cocktail you can refer to this section by Priyam Nayak who also owns a dog:

I don't like dogs very much. I don't know if i am scared of them or not but i do wish for a law of keeping all the dogs chained with short chains!

I made a pretty awesome joke....at least i think it is awesome:
What would have Martin Luther King said if he was studying at IIT Kanpur ?
I have a Quiz (instead of dream)!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_a_Dream

I am watching Dr Who TV series these days. It might not be the best of TV series at convincing you and in embedding realism but what does appeal to my mind is the wild imagination. It involves greater imagination than even Calvin and Hobbes! Besides the Doctor is lively, fun, cheerful and meets Shakespeare, robot guys with lasers and appealing accents, walking trees, Queen of England, men with rhino heads, etc. Also he has this TARDIS-Time and Relative Dimension in Space -his spaceship in the looks of a police box on outside. The TARDIS is bigger on the inside than it looks from outside similar to harry Potter stuff! The characters and story play with human curiosity and this sustains the interest in the plots.
