Revivlas-06

ramanujam July 15th, 2006

     ‘Revivals’ is the moniker given to this year’s five day long cultural fiesta conducted by the Madras Medical College. I visited MMC on the third day to participate in the quizzing events and the events were lull and not up to the hype created. This is the second time I am visiting a medical college in Chennai, the former being the matchless Ramachandra Medical College flooded with some of the wealthiest peeps who pay gunny bags of money to acquire a seat. Unlike the former, MMC is a government college which is the first destination for the medical aspirants from the state but lacks funding and infrastructure.

     The number of events was minimal and the prize money was also not big for the daily events unlike the choreo, fashion parade et al where they offered a whooping 16k for the first place. There were no seasoned quizzers in the college and the way they conducted was amateurish. There were two quizzes, general and sports and we didn’t get through in both. It happens the same way, the general prelims was quite ok but we were a little below the cut-off. If we had made it we would have given a good competition for the two regular winners. In the sports quiz we missed by a whisker and even if we had qualified we would have been sitting baaaaaah…There were some good sporting buffs.
  
     But me and Samba packed home with tickets for the Sunday professional light music show costing 100 bucks each. Some good relief after we got it as audience prize.  
One memorable thing was in the sports quiz, there was a question for which samba said Michael Jordan and I argued over how foolish he was and bet my head saying it was wrong. Later it turned out to be the right answer and bought him a juice for losing.
Phew! It’s happening….

HAPPY BUDDAY DEAR…
     I am feeling happy that I have completed a year in this precious blogging world. I have been so lazy and forgetful to put a birthday message on the exact date. With scanty updates and a few cherished visitors this stands as my priceless possession. Thank you one and all. At least next time I will cut a cake for you!!!!
WISH U A BELATED HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR BLOG!!!!!!!!!!
