We had been to GRG College in Coimbatore for AIMA management games competition. We had won the initial round and went to participate in regional finals.
Our Dean called us in his office to give his best wishes. I was about to leave, but then decided that I will meet him.
Before wishing us good luck he sees that I am not wearing my I Card around my neck. He smiles and says give me 100Rs as a fine for not wearing I card.I regret coming to his office.
My mom used to say if a person is leaving for some work or you are wishing good luck you should not ask for money.Infact if you want give the person some money which is considered auspicious. If you want money ask later but not when person is leaving.

We were quite excited to reach GRG college because we came to know its girls college.But unfortunately the crowd was not up to our expectation.
So results.
We were eliminated :D :(
There were four rounds.Each round was for one hour. During end of second round, during last 5 mins, we realised that we had missed an important line in the information sheet. We had to launch only one product instead of two, while we did all our calculations considering that we have to launch 2 products.What happened later was something funny.
First 5 seconds were of shock that we missed the information.
X directly addressed you,"See I told you earlier that you should have read sheet properly."
Now X is a person who thinks high of himself, though others think of exactly opposite of what he thinks of himself. Highly short tempered. If something good happens he is first to trumpet that he did it, if anything bad happens then also he first to say others did it.
My first reaction after listening this was of confusion...thinking why me?? We all had got sheets and we all read it and we all missed the crucial line.
X continues to blabber. Y and Z, my other two members follow him..."Yes you should have read it."
X murmurs in loud voice throwing his pen on table(usual antics). I just smile. :)

My bus back to Bangalore was at late night. I had ample of time to kill. I searched for cyber cafe where I can spend sometime. In the Gandhipuram street I saw a building(1 storey) with huge display of "Internet". Indicating that its on first floor. I checked on the ground floor. There was Punjab National Bank.I asked security of bank where are the steps to go on first floor as I want to go to cyber cafe. He told cyber cafe is closed long back.
Why cant they remove the huge board also.
Unnecessarily wasted my time.

I had my dinner at Sri Aarvee Hotel.I love this hotel. I dont know why. Whenever I come to Bangalore I stay in this hotel.This time was different as we were booked in Hotel near railway station. The receptionist recognised me(I came to Coimbatore after a gap of 2 years) and asked, Sir how are you? I was thrilled that atlast someone recognises my face.
Later it transpired me may be he wishes and smiles amiably to every guests that come. The extra smile may not be because he recognised me.

Whatever my Mom used to say was correct.
