Before starting this update, I should let you know that there is a reason why I didn't update for so long.  Two reasons actually.  First of all, I am leaving to Manipal to join my management course at TAPMI, on 25th.  Now I wish I could stay at home for a longer while, but that's not possible.  Anyway, I've been spending a lot of time finishing all the pending work (Doom stuff mostly), and also on shopping, etc.  Secondly, if I had not got a viral fever a couple of days back, I'd have updated sooner!  I'm fine now and so here's the requisite long update!

• Sat, Jun 7: Hectic day!  In the morning I went to take the test to get my driver's licence, and it went very well.  After this, my parents and myself attended a lecture given by our President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.  I'm glad I got the opportunity to attend this presentation!  And immediately after that, I attended a get-together organised by our TAPMI seniors.  I was pretty tired after coming home (about 11 PM or 12 AM).  The previous night I'd watched Cruel Intentions 2: Manchester Prep on HBO.
• Mon, Jun 9: My brother Varun's site crossed 1000 hits, and I watched The Animatrix: Final Flight of the Osiris on HBO (followed by The Matrix).
• Fri, Jun 13: Srikanth and myself went to college (heh, my previous college) to apply for certain certificates and documents, which I will require in order to show that I've completed my Engineering course.  We were there from morning and I reached home at about 5 PM!  But the job got done.  I watched part of Fargo and The Touch on TV, and at night I watched Cruel Intentions on AXN.
• Sat/Sun, Jun 14/15: I got my driver's licence on Saturday!  And in the evening some shopping got done for my Manipal stay.  On Sunday I watched The Mothman Prophecies on HBO, which was a good movie.  Now after this, HBO was showing The Frighteners, and STAR Movies started Back to the Future Part II at the same time (11:15 PM), so I watched both (switching channels... anyway I've seen both movies and BTTF2 I've probably seen some 30 times or something).
• Mon-Sat, Jun 16-21: I finally got to see The Matrix Reloaded in the theatre (went with my mother and brother on 16th), and it was an absolutely awesome movie!  The ideas presented, the visuals, fight scenes, everything were a cut above the original, and so I liked it even better than the first The Matrix.  After coming home from the movie though, I had a cold, which developed into a high fever by the night.  The last couple of days I've been recovering from that viral fever.  Anyway I watched The Tailor of Panama on HBO on Wednesday night.

Several interesting Doom related happenings also took place, which will be discussed in the next post.
