GETTING PUZZLED AND EATING PUZZLES
Every time I enter APU cafeteria, I get baffled and ask the same question, “what should I eat today?” I know it is a silly question. I know what I like (and what I do not like), and APU cafeteria does not have that large a menu for me to get lost. Still, I remain undecided at least for a few minutes. Carrying a tray, I look here and there, sneakily, as if it is the first time I am hanging out in cafeteria. Nevertheless, I see many other undecided faces roaming, so I might not be alone to face this riddle.

Beyond Victory
You may not have noticed, but a lot of people smiled yesterday. They laughed, smiled, cried, jiggled, danced and blew their horns more than they have for a long time. Mostly they were young men, dancing with the great abandon of those who cannot, but do not care anyway. Cars were made to stop at regular intervals in order to allow the men to dance throughout the streets. The fact that all this is a result of a twisted bat hitting a leather ball over a fence, the game of Cricket, is a measure of how little these people have had to cheer about lately.
