My net wasn't working & so, couldn't post a blog last night. It was a problem with the modem's adaptor. The airtel guy gave a new one. Now, that's out of the way, I think I can go the extent of calling this a great day. I bunked college again today to get my net fixed. And I did just that.

Later in the evening when the action started, I was pretty much in the thick of things. Got a mail from TCS to register my details for the job offer letter. Will do from the college tomorrow. And played 2 games today. First against 0mF which we lost & then against Brutality, which again, we lost.

Since I did say it was a great day, I can't possibly end it in 2 paragraphs.. But still, I'll get straight to the point. Playing against Err0r, 0mF & Brutality in a row kind of inspired me. After a long time, I feel the urge to play & to play better & play more. And I simply love to lose..

As much as you might not believe it, trust me, I really like to lose a tough game. Let me explain why. We decided to play a pub match after reaching home. At the end of the game, I was Tauren & I had the most hero kills & the most creep kills. If it wasn't for those matches that I lost, I wouldn't have got such an inspiration or motivation to play to such extreme. So, on that inspiring note, I sign off..

We were supposed to meet up in Atl for a clan match against Neo at 11. First, there was no power in Atl & second, scrib slept till 1pm. So, we moved to Zion. We were visited by Burn, Neo, Sandy, nofear, ammune & risenn. We played 3 games of which we won 2. It was fun playing in LAN after a long time.

Then, my net wasn't back yet. Tried a few stuffs, registered a complaint. Saw a movie called 'Halloween'. And suddenly, the net was working. Anyway, I'll ask the guy to check my modem. I'm not feeling well right now, so, adios..

The day kind of started badly. But as it progressed, it went from sad to superb. I was almost half an hour late to a movie with my classmates. 'Saroja' in Abirami Theatres. The theatre was surprisingly good, but I wouldn't frequent it as it is very far away. The movie was also good, but just a fun movie & so, nothing phenomenal there.

Then, had a clan match with Myth. We lost badly against them earlier and it seems that someone had uploaded that replay & spammed in the tourney room that Gdn got pwned, haha! So, we decided to play them again & what do you know! The final score was 31-12 & I didn't die even once. After that, we decided the schedule for tomorrow which includes Maxi bunking college & we going to Atlantis for a match against Sathya's clan. Ofcourse, Myth has again called us & so, we'll have to face them too in the evening.

Finally, I saw the match between Rush3D & KS.Int. Really amazing game-play. Rush3D's combo and qwerty's game-play especially, was brilliant. It was one of the most inspiring games to say the least. Saw it more than twice. I couldn't post this last night as weirdly, Airtel disconnected & wouldn't connect back. On that bombshell, here you go, a late post..

Kiruba Shankar's class for 2 hours in the morning was a sight for sour eyes today. It kindled my interest in writing even more. So, I started my first page in my class wiki & based on that discussion, am going to create a blog of my own, which is a mandatory for my class.

Other than that, I was exploring more into customizing the looks of my windows. Installed 2 softwares called Bootskin & SysMetrix. Unfortunately SysMetrix messed with my alt-tabbing & so, I've disabled it for now. We played our match against the Ashes but the real news is that 0mF lost against Fragbhai in the tourney. We have also been invited to Atl this weekend. There is never a shortage of excitement.. Cya tomorrow..

It was an holiday & so, I slept till 4 in the evening.. 0_o And as soon as I woke up, Maxi came here & we started to play DotA. Had my lunch at 6 & went to Zion. Played a clan match there & returned home by 10. Maxi came again & this time, we played Counter-Strike till mid-night. So, it was basically just gaming today. And it seems that there is a tourney in SRM soon. So, looking forward to an exciting month.

Attended Mr.Shankar's class today for the first time. It was good. As I said earlier, I finally have a class to look forward to. He basically sharing his experience and they were good.

After reviewing my dad's budget & my position, I decided not to buy the headphone.. :p I even thought about getting a 1.1 for Rs.750, but decided against that too. I felt that it was better to repay Bharath first. So, asked me dad to allot the money for that & I'll just spend the cash I have in other ways. Need to buy a helmet holder for my ride. Hopefully, I'll get that done tomorrow.

Maxi came to my place for some mid-night gaming & it went decently well. We finally played a match against 0mF & called it a day. Its a holiday next & so, looking forward to having some fun. Good night..

Woke up late thanks to the late night movie watching. So, bunked college, woke up at noon, yada yada, the usual. I decided to get a headphone/earphone or something. But what makes it note-worthy is that, this time, I don't want just a costly one, I want it to make sense, to be worthy. Sometimes, I feel that I bought stuff which I don't even use to the max, then again, I don't regret the decision, but they made me think twice before I make my next purchase. I still owe Bharath, 1k & the fact that none of my friends come to my place much & the second comp is still useless, makes me feel disappointed. So, I'm going to check out a few stores, check out the prices & take a sensible decision on what to buy. Basically, what I'm looking for is, the purchase should make my daily life a lot more easier & exciting. On a side note, I saw 'Cloverfield' just now & it definitely was worthy of its hype. Looking forward to an exciting day.. Cheers..

Same routine.. Woke up at 11.55 & the routine power cut ended at 12. Maxi & fRosT visited my place as there was no power in their place. Played DotA & CS for a while with Maxi. Watched a replay. After an horrific match against Myth, we realized that lane combos are everything in DotA & that without stuns or slow its very difficult to play in the lane.

Got a mail from my classmate Lakshmi inviting my class to a blog. And when I enquired Bharath, he said that its a work given by our new faculty who is quite good. So, looking forward to both the blog & his class. Finally, a class in this semester to look up to. Saw a movie called 'Deception'.. It wasn't the best of movies, but it was good. It basically lacked depth, but then again, I didn't see this movie for the script, I saw it for Hugh Jackman & so, I'm satisfied. A new day & a new life.. Cya..

It was a Saturday & I was expecting Bob, my cousin to visit me from Bangalore. Today is also the start of the imbaGamer DotA tourney. Arch3r was ready to come out of his house & so, I decided to ask him to play the tourney instead of me. He did & we won our first match against Elements.

Bob came by evening & we were having fun trying our hands at MW. And finally, decided to play online at night. Gizmo from the team Err0r joined the server & asked for a clan match. snet wanted to play them with me. He called me up & tried to persuade me, but in the effort he called me a coward which I really didn't like. So, I kicked him but played the match against Err0r.. It wasn't a serious match, but was a good match, which we lost as the guy whom we took as our fifth had DCed. On that bombshell, I leave you, Good Night..

Went to SRM again today to collect the prize. They actually gave us Rs.3,000 cash to be shared among the 3 of us. We went in my CT100 & its exactly 30 km. The event was what you call as 'Short & sweet'.

Had a few clan matches today in Zion. The fixtures for the tourney are out & we have a match on 30th against Elements. We haven't played them before & are looking forward to it. Sadly, Arch3r has refused to come out till Monday, so, we are going to have to do good without him. Saw a movie called 'Felon'. It was realistic to an extent & I was really surprised to Val Kilmer in that character.
