How do you get to know if the auto-waala is fooling you?

On the journey, if the auto-waala makes two consecutive right turns or two consecutive left turns, then there might be something fishy.... though not necessarily... if he makes 3 consecutive same turns then 99% of the time, he thinks you are a dupe!!

How do you get to know the age of a lady?

If she passes by your city in train, then go meet her and secretly view her age from the reservation list stuck outside the compartment. Nowadays, people buy e-tickets and hence unlike few years ago, ladies cannot mention their incorrect age on the ticket, because they have to produce a photo-id proof.. which mostly contains the date of birth.

can you beat my team?

Here is my IPL'09 dream team(not sticking to the rule of keeping only 4 foreign players):
1. Matthew Hayden
2. Virender Sehwag
3. J P Duminy
4. Yuvraj Singh
5. Andrew Symonds
6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c)
7. Yusuf Pathan
8. Brett Lee
9. Jacob Oram
10. Chaminda Vaas
11. Muttiah Muralitharan
Specialities:
1. Long batting lineup: which is very necessary in T20. Apart from Muttiah Muralitharan everybody has the ball-hitting capability.
2. Batsmen with hard-hitting capabilities: There are some of the world's best hard hitters in my team like Matthew Hayden, Yusuf Pathan, Virender Sehwag etc.
3. Mr. Captain cool: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is surely one of the best captains in the world currently. He has taken Chennai Super Kings to the second spot in the league table. His frequent bowling changes and his faith in young bowlers like Jakati makes it even tougher for the opposition.
4. There are 5 genuine bowlers (7-11) and even Duminy, Sehwag, Yuvraj and Symonds can bowl effectively. So 9 different kind of bowlers provide the necessary variation in the side.

ipl...

King's XI Punjab players have seemed to make the most out of the Juan Mann Free Hugs Campaign (thanks Juan!). They seriously have got a lot of motivation to play now. But, having lost their match yesterday, has made it a gruelling fight for the top 4. On the other hand, SRK is making things worse for KKR(Ekta Kapoor's theory didn't work here..), who have just pocketed 1 victory. IPL is half way through ppl...

sem over 'em not

After a teeter-totter semester, I would certainly like to do two things: take motivation from my past achievements and pull out all the stops on the following things before I leave IIT:-

1. Salsa
2. Gravity- free dancing
3. CAT
4. Proposals
5. Enticer
6. Dr. Reddy's
7. Information Theory

Hey DEE, watch out for my poem!
