Watching Cricket Live on Campus

When you are in hostel you have a lot of freedom compared to what you can do at home. There have been countless night outs playing games or just hanging out with friends. One of good things of my college life was watching cricket in the common room ( a room were all people meet, it has a TV etc).

And the best part was watching T20cricket World Cup against along with 2000 fellow BITSians in the auditorium. The rush of blood we had then , never ever again... even if India wins the next world cup or an Indian team wins the next airtel Champions league t20.


This post is posted on the Engineers day ( very late though so you might be seeing it later) and Engineering is not all about studying. It is about enjoying what you do.

P.S : Supporting Chennai Super Kings this Champions League t20.
