student beaten up

hi , 

It's really funny how time passes so quickly when you really like something and seems like an hour when you despise it !! that's because the previous week seems to have gone faster than light .. it seems like yesterday I published my last blog !! 

I've been wanting to write about the hostility that Indians and Australians face in any sphere of life.. from cricket to college . The controversy between Indian spinner harbhajan singh and Andrew symonds got the better of the headlines some time back   and now the beating up of an Indian student in a train in Australia . Sourabh Sharma had gone there to study hospitality was caught among thugs and was asked to kiss their shoe . This is outrageous . 

The Australian students say that they cannot put up with outsiders as they lack common civic sense ( the Indians , reportedly , block hallways and move along in huge groups ) now , what is wrong with that . how long is it going to take for them  to say '  excuse me, please move '? This cannot get any funny . Are they not able to brace the fact that some Indian students who go there do better than them ? Then why are  they there in a university ? if they can't take up this challenge what are they ever going to do when they graduate and move out ?? 

This disheartening situation only makes some of us rethink our motives of going abroad and studying . 

The ragging and teasing . is an 'integral part' of any university but beating students up is something that never gets me . It truly displays how uncultured , uncivilised and ill mannered they are . 

that's it today

back to college, IPL final , election , house warming

hi ,
It's been two months since i last blogged .Well i decided to give blogging a holiday as i was on holiday too !! I spent my summer break sleeping a lot and catching up on the latest novels and flicks . But now i am back to college and things are slowly falling back into place .
It has been unusually hot in Bangalore , this summer and all of us are seriously looking forward to the monsoon !!
The IPL final is scheduled to happen today ... A clash between The Royal challengers of Bangalore and the deccan chargers .!! I have honestly not followed even a single ball of the second season of the IPL and i guess it's unfair to say i want the Deccan chargers winning when i don't even know who is on the team !!! height of disinterest in cricket ...

The big , fat Indian elections ended last Saturday and the allocation of portfolios is on . Key positions have gone to experienced people and I am happy to know that they didn't make the selection randomly . I think the congress was able to make it to the position of single largest party mainly because of Rahul Gandhi , A fresher in the game of election . although Mr Singh is an experienced , calm and skilled politician , i think he isn't a born leader . We need young , energetic faces to lead the country . let's see what they do to change the face of the country .

Also , we finished our much awaited house warming ceremony on 22nd may .Almost all of the people we had called and i was delighted to see old friends and relatives making it to the occasion . This kind of event gives us an opportunity to catch up and comes as a break in our hectic schedule !!
well that's it this time
bye
