Exam Fever

Well, after ecstasy comes agony. So the exams begin. It seems a bit cruel, and extremely ironic that our brains work at their peak only after the exams. Also, did you notice that topics that are taught in 5 mins inevitably cover about 20 pages in the book, and require an hour to study? Murphy's Law triumphs again!

So, I have to study the 8086 microprocessor. While reading the book i spied on a label that said "reprinted with permission from Intel (c)1979". Cutting edge, eh?

Force India managed the front row with 2nd spot on the grid at Italian GP. And Luizzi(not the Mario one) managed a decent 7th. Whereas fizzled-out Fisichella managed only a 14th. Before the switch, that wouldn't be too bad. I think he should be optimistic, becuase 7th row, with Ferrari, after being on the podium in the previous race, I don't think its possible to go lower. Things can only improve from here. In your face Fisichella!! In retrospect, he must be thinking, "Buying stocks of Lehmann Brothers would have been a safer bet...".

In other news, I didn't get to watch football yesterday coz some high-on-patriotism chauvinists yesterday were watching India getting mauled by Sri Lanka. Some right-wing, ulti-relegious people were muttering, "Lanka jeet gayi, ghor kalyug. Chalo Lanka me aag lagaao!". Seriously?? I don't think there's much left there to set on fire. But, the above exchange of words was of course, in jest, and we don't intend on rioting in Lanka.

But the match I wanted to see, Man City vs Arsenal, turned out to be a dud. Nowadays, one can almost bet one's money on Arsenal producing the least favoured result. On this occasion, too, the least favoured result it was. We have a good team with Diaby,Eduardo,Gallas,Vermaelen,Rosicky,RvP, star players(AA,Fab). Our squad is more accustomed to playing together than City's 100-million-instant squad. I guess the only reason we're losing out is because of tactics and formation.

So noting that the particular alignment of Saturn, Jupiter and my ass favours Murphy's Law, it would be safe to bet that both of Force India's cars will be crashing out. It would be an absolute pleasure, though, to watch Raikkonen crash into Fisichella now! That would easily redeem this wretched weekend.
