Orkut temporarily not available!

Well that is the sole reason for me to add this post!
But may be i should have something worthwhile to share in this post. But i have not been upto anything that is close to "worth while" in the past few months. So let me tell you about how i kill my time. It is an art. To kill time, and to still feel that you are busy. That way you dont get bored and feel good about yourself.
Chess practise. That is something i have been doing for the past 1 week. I sincerely put aside all other work and go to the sports complex in my college, daily in the after noon and play chess with my team mates till 6! What is the other work that i put aside to do this. Well i tell my project mates, that i need to go for practise, we have inter collegiete VTU chess Tournament coming week, and i need to go , and so on. They are more than glad to send me off, as i am a spectator in the project group. And not mute spectator! I keep yapping and trouble them and always suggest them to take a coffee break in the mornings or a tea break in the after noons. So they prefer not having me around.
So i get to be in the sports complex. I like it. I bully my team mates, who are my juniors. Luckily the chess team captain was a little busy and was not turning up for practise. So that makes me feel like the most senior player out there. Considering that i have played twice before in the tournament, and my other team mates are making their debut. I have repeatedly told them that we came runners up last year in the tournament. I keep making them play versus one another. I sit back and assess. And gleefully point out their errors. I interrupt them and say, "you could have done this ya" ! It makes me feel so intelligent and big.
Till i myself played today with my junior team mate. And she mated me! I meant in the game ;)
Never mind, i was just trying to boost her confidence. You see it is a part of my team building strategies.
Tomorrow the chess captain will be back. And with that my air of superiority will come down to tolerable limits.
Continuing , with my art of killing time. I have been reading a book. 100 Encounters. By Sham Lal.Very dense. I cannot follow a single sentence with ease. It deals with globalistion and end of Cold war and Socialism and market economy. Well this book is very useful. I just need to read 1 paragraph. And immediately sleep gets the better of me. So that helps me in falling asleep even i am just not sleepy.
Chess tournament in a couple of days. So u see, i am busy. I love the game. It makes me feel intelligent when i play chess. I also feel good about bragging that i play for college. The bullying of juniors adds to the charm. And the book makes me feel well read, though i read very little a day. But I feel good about myself. And my activities.
Will tell you what happens in the tournament. U see , its girls chess. So i dont like getting mated.
