Being a villager!

Rightly described as "gaonwalo" by my friend Chinmay :)
The last movie I watched in a cinema hall was "I hate love stories" at City centre, Salt Lake, Kolkata in July last year! There are no cinema halls at Agartala!
Places around my present stay don't have restaurants! and to travel 20 kms to main town just to visit a restaurant! or just visit a restaurant when you visit the town!
Ok, there is something more! To have the cash in my hand, visit the nearest ATM which is around 10 kms away from the university campus!
What if suddenly, you need to send some letters through speed post! Go and visit the town!
However, Inside university campus, very good facilities of residence, electricity, water, internet, etc. exist! So, At least not so bad!

India wins the Cricket World Cup 2011

Yesterday(02-April-2011) was the glorious moment for Indians as we won the Cricket WorldCup. I was watching it live on TV with my friends and was overjoyed when Dhoni hit a last sixer to win the match against SriLanka. Finally, the SriLankan captain had to say, 'Even 350 runs could be less for Indians!' a marvellous inning was played by Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni which brought India on the track of winning the game after losing two early wickets of Sehwag and Tendulkar.
Below here in the picture is the winning sixer shot by MS Dhoni, being watched by two captains very eagerly!
