IPL Mania… and the Longest Exam Ever

On April 26, 2008, in Uncategorized, by Sumit Kumar

All speculations regarding the popularity and all questions regarding the concept of the Indian Premier League have been laid to rest as the event has taken the nation by storm. And Kgp was not to be left behind. Even as the beginning of the event coincided with the endsems, there still were many takers for the newest form of Cricket entertainment. So much so that this time, a new concept of “streaming” the matches has taken off in Kgp. Just as the match time approaches, the DC main chat room is filled with demand and supply of match streaming IPs. Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have emerged as the two strong teams so far, while the Mumbai Indians and Deccan Chargers have been letdowns.

Just waiting for the giant spectacle at the Eden Gardens on 29th when the Riders take on the Indians. The tickets are already here. By the way, after the EC dudes of our wing confirmed that they wouldn’t be able to go because of their GV, it took me only 5 minutes to sell their tickets, with a profit of Rs. 100! It seems that a lot of Kgp folks are going to be there for company at the Eden.

Amidst all this, there was a totally new (but deadly) experience of an exam with unlimited time duration. The Modern Control Theory paper was even more terrifying than already expected. To make matters “worse”, prof said that we could take as much time as we wanted. After five and a half hours of simulation, coding and calculations, I decided that I could take it no more and walked out of what definitely was the biggest torture in the name of exams!
