World has been quite busy around me since my last post. Anna Hazare and the Jan Lokpal drama, India getting thrashed by England, college elections, department trip postponement and a lot of work.
Enough has been said and written about the Lokpal and Anna Hazare. Here are some really interesting articles that I found. Read through them and you ll get a really good grasp of what is really happening. The media tripping over themselves to sensationalise the issue is just deplorable. People really love the limelight, is all I have to say about the Lokpal and its supporters. You can wish for a magic wand that swipes away all the corruption in the land, but one can only hope to be diligent and sensible enough to see that there are no such miraculous cures. What we need are more practical measures that dont call for a classic "who'll watch the watchmen" scenario. More on what can be done instead of the much fancied Lokpal can be found in the links below.

I think I have hit my saturation limit as far as lokpal is concerned. So many opinions, so many experts. Yeah, I have had enough.
The English drubbing of the Indian cricket team was nothing short of inducing despair. Enough has been written about what went wrong with the whole series. Nothing worked for India and whatever could go wrong went wrong. The British inflicted some of the heaviest defeats in recent memory to the whimpering Indian side. A lopsided and shabby batting debacle ensured that India had no chance even their bowlers gave them some sort of a headway. Rahul Dravid, was India's only bright spot in the batting department. He played his heart out in typical Dravid fashion oozing class and determination. If I dont mention Praveen Kumar and his tireless bowling, it would be a crime. But sadly, he couldnt carry the team completely on solely his shoulders.
Life in college has been fun, as always. The election for the post of Union president is to happen tomorrow. And I happened to watch ManU thrash a hapless Arsenal, 8-2. Many supporters were seen crying and Arsene Wenger was on the verge of tears. Seriously, what did that man expect after selling off the players who kept the club's campaign afloat last year and not buying proper replacements? I feel pity for him. More on all that later. Ciao, fellows!
