Football Match in HIT

Last Week there was final match between Civil Vs Food Tech n Bio Tech departement students of HIT. Civil own the match. After that there was a match between staffs (Chairman's Team Vs Principals Team). I Played for Principal's Team.

After Listening of this match to be played, I was very enthusiastic to participate - after initial hesitation. SkS sir of MCA n SM sir of CSE also played for our team. Last ween there a bit of rain, and the ground was quite slashy. Enjoyed the match.

I had a long wish for football. After school days, there was no football till NIT life at Rourkela. In NIT we played a lot of football. We m.tech students used to play among ourselves - mainly students from Kerala. Last year during this time (in Aug Last week I guess) there was inter hall Football tournament in NIT Rourkela. And we participated. Before us M. Tech students from C V Raman Hall never participated in Football !! From Monday Morning online Newsletter of NIT RKL (http://mondaymorning.nitrkl.ac.in/mmb/pages/frontpage.aspx) I got to know that htis year also our juniors kept our tradition and participated in Football.

Swine Flu at HIT

Yesterday one student of HIT was confirmed to be Swine Flu affected. There was panic among many students, and that was natural. In the evening, college authority notified suspension of classes for this week. Recently, there is little bit of Swine Flu outbreak in our country. City like Pune is worst affected. As I am teaching Microproceesor, thinking to utilize this week to go through more deep into the subject. Also have to go through Unix shell programming if time permitted.
My parents are reaching home today. They were in P Sai Nilayam, Andhra Pradesh for little over a month for my fathers prostate operation in the Sai Baba's hospital (http://www.srisathyasai.org.in/Pages/Service_Projects/psn_sup.htm). The treatment including surgery is provided completely free of cost to the patients. So it's really astonishing just to think how many noble minded people are donating generously so that this kind of completely free treatment is provided to the people. Due to several reasons like sudden high blood pressure, infection at urinary system, post operation bleeding etc, the total process of treatment of my father took more time than the usual.
