I've an hour to go before my bus gets here and how do I "kill" time? How does anyone "kill" time? Do you take it out with a dagger or just break the ding-dong in campus? Anyway, I had to "kill" time and this evening I didn't really mind as there was India playing the third test in Perth. Nothing could go wrong with this match. How can it? India has a 118 runs lead after bowling Australia out for just 212. Moreover, we've always been branded as a "batting team". That's what went wrong. The famed batting collapsed just like they have always done when the bowling put us in the "driver's seat". That brings us to why they call it "driver's seat", I mean why do they. In the last 24 years of my existence I've never seen driver who decides where the car goes. He always takes orders from the one in the "backseat", which I'm 100% isn't where the driver sits. Forget that! Indian batting didn't have the spine to stretch the lead to a target which the Australians would never reach. Of course, there will be those who will argue that VVS and Pathan are still in the crease. But my argument questions those who've always credited the batting for our victories.
UC, Davis. This is the university I've come to for my PhD. It is okayish in ranking, agreed. BUT there is a wonderful variety that I see here and in no other university. I realise that it won't affect me as I know what I want to work on here, but I do feel good about it in some way.
My bus is here. "Killing" time ain't so difficult.
