Lakeside

A walk early in the morning beside the lake is like running a million photographs of nature lovers! The pink lilies floating on water. The many fish so still you might think they died. The herons that suddenly fly over the water creating ripples. The weird fish that flops water everytime it comes to surface and goes in. The effect of having two suns when the sun reflects the fullest on the surface of the water. and many more. It reminded me of the last month in IIT when I used to take morning walks and snaps along the way. (Camera suffering communication problems now) And my walk would invariably end in tea at taramani. Now it's chai at maingate! It's the same kettle on the same fire, the same tea glass, the same tiny shop, but two different places along the Bay of Bengal! Incredible Indiyeah!

Wed: I think we might have a marketing quiz for which we have like a few 100 pgs to mug Thu: Hey I'm free. I thought I had something to submit. Fri: Need to present for 3 mins as part of a group of six people role playing the top management of a company in troubled waters. Sat: A stats terminal quiz awaits me. Not more explanations.
