Luck-in' my exams

Superstitions !
Yeah right. Arent they the stuff for the deeply spiritual and religious souls ?

Well thats exactly what i thought before i realised my exam life is mired in superstitions too.
I'm surprised, actually very surprised that i could turn out to be so superstitious when normally all i do is laugh away at them.

Its now turned into a regular habit, every exam morning, i try to wake up at the same time, finish my chores in the same order, eat the same breakfast and then to top it all, wear the same clothes to college :D
Sheeesh. What a loser !

Eh. No wayz. I realised that when i end up doing it all similarly, i end up doing well in the exam or atleast, i can rest easy after the exams. The marks arent very good though but given my preparations, its atleast a bonus that i pass :)

when the folks at my place started noticing my weirdness, i was kinda tongue tied to explain it all. Embarassing as hell !
Mom thinks i'm possessed by some weird demons from Planet Zorks ;)
Dad thinks its his excuse for a bout of laughter therapy. Atleast, i'm making someone's day :p

During my last exam i realised i'm not the only one. I do have company. Couple of my mates were in the same clothes, for all the exams. See its not weird anymore ;)

I keep reading a lot about sportmen being highly superstitious and all. At first glance, all it warrants is a flick of the paper, but then when i realise i'm no different, its suddenly kewl.

I know most people who see me everyday, must be wondering about my sudden fetish for a particular set of clothes but then they must have realised. But still i have to make do with my fair share of weird glances most times.

btw during the course of my last exam, which happens to be my best so far, i found out that using a particular pen with the same ink, might turn out to be really lucky for me ;) So its 'ink-saving' time now :D

Madness

Justice at last ?
McLaren's appeal against the F1 stewards decision to let BMW and Williams keep their points at the season ending Brazilian GP has been deemed 'inadmissible' by the puppets in London.

All the hype surrounding the appeal and the consequences that could have succeeded it, had McLaren been successful, would have done nothing more than prove that Max Mosley and his bunch of loons at the FIA are absolute suckers at best.
The fact that the FIA spent money and actually convened the hearing, only to later dismiss it as farce speaks volumes of the brains that reside in Mr.Mosley's cranium.

As a tifoso, i'm no doubt delighted that Kimi is still champion.
But as a F1 fan, i'm disgusted. Well anyone who follows the sport ought to be. McLaren may not have been altogether fair in their dealings this season, but they are a good team. I mean how many teams have constantly challenged the Scuderia's domination for such a prolonged period. Its another story that McLaren seem to get their a$$ whipped each season, either by a Prancing Horse or the FIA :P

Well McLaren have every right to feel betrayed. FIA have always shown a bias towards Ferrari (not that i'm complaining) but they ought to have atleast admitted that the two teams-BMW and Williams- werent complying with the rules. Had McLaren been the offender and Ferrari the questioner, then i'm sure we would have seen an altogether different ruling.
When the FIA pass the buck, it bodes ill for the sport. This sport is now as Ferrari-centric as it can ever get. Ferrari have dominated on track, but off it too. Thats pushing it a little too far.
I'm not of the opinion that Ferrari are the culprits in this, but its Max Mosley and his bunch of loons, including a certain Ecclestone. If Bernie had brains as his daughter has beauty, Formula 1 would have been devoid of all the crap we've had to endure this season.

I wish someone wld get all half wits outta the echelons of power in every sport. We have a prime example here in India, where m0r0ns who can hardly devote any time to the running of the country are trusted with the top offices for sports in the country.
The day we rid these half hearted lunatics outta the sporting world, we will witness the true spirit of the game.

Waiting for the day, Mosley and his breed are confined to the annals of history.
