first of all, we won the badminton intramural game against a couple of chinese guys..the score was like 15-8,15-2 and we played really well..
i was pretty confident that we would win, but didnt expect by that margin..
lot of my friends came over to cheer us and i am sure they all enjoyed our success..
last weekend was a very hectic with lots of activities and fun and frolic..
first there was this poker night which went till 3 or so...and we played all-in for the first time, meaning you can bet all you have even in your first chance..that was exiciting though i never made it to the final 3...
saturday we had a music concert organized by the students here and we had fun dancing and singing...later that evening we had a spring football game which was pretty good..
on sunday, there was a screening of rang de basanti and i watched with a american friend of mine..it was really a good movie and i thoroughly enjoyed it...next weekend is already going to be hectic as we are going to be out of town with some activities planned...i will write more about it after the trip...

yet another weekend passed by and i soon realized that its going to be 4 months over in a couple of weeks since the new year..it still feels as though just now i had a great time with my friends over the new year..how time flies..one cant imagine...
As it was tamil new year, we were invited to a family dinner on friday..it was good to eat some well made home food without working hard on any of the dishes..I had a good time, chatting with people and going over the events in the past month..then later after dinner, we played poker till it was like 4 and we had total fun...looks like thats going to be the regular on friday nights..
on saturday we had a friends birthday party and had gone over to a friends place to celebrate..there was good food yet again apart from the cake :)
Sunday was the usual lazy sunday and i was just cozing up at home and didnt really do much except to watch some tv programs and talk to friends over the fone...

Last friday, there was a party at our place. We had pizzas, drinks for around 10 people..we had the music turned on, took some pics, did some gossiping..Later after dinner, we played some fun card games..UNO most of the time and i am sure everyone had good fun that night.
Saturday was poker night. We had a big group of 9+ people. we got poker chips and and it was a professional setting. It was fun as i did make it to the final 3. It took pretty long to finish the game and by the time we were done, it was 3. However we learnt the important rules of the game and i am sure we will play this game during the next several weekends...
On sunday we had our second intramural round in badminton and we probably faced the toughest team in the tournament. Myself and roomate were partners and we went a little early, got the feel of things and made sure that our form upto the mark.Usually we are bad starters and so we discussed before that we should start well...To our fortune, we started real well in both the sets and we were ahead 7-1 and 6-1 in both the sets before we closed 15-9,15-6. It was a convincing win and at the moment, we are pretty confident that we will go all the way...

This week we had a potluck at work as we threw a baby shower for one of our colleagues who is due anytime soon. All my team members chipped in and we gave her a cute gift of a stroller and a car seat(for the new kid ofcourse).
She also received several other gifts from other people and i was amazed to see how many things a new kid needs before even it faces the world. I wish her good luck and hope everything goes well for her in the next few weeks or so.
On saturday night, I played poker for the first time with some friends, and we all had a lot of fun. It was pretty exciting and luck changed from hand to hand which kept the game alive and kicking. we played till almost 3 before we realized about the daylight savings and then called it a day.
next week doesnt sound to be too exciting with lots of work coming in my way and i hope it gets over quickly..
