Tuesday

Alhamdulillah I could submit the re-evaluation forms pretty easily today. I started from home at 7:10 am, met my friend at Mehdipatnam at 7:30 am, then went to OU. We were too early there and the gates of the place where forms are accepted were closed. We took a stroll around and finally after 10:30 am the people came. Many people arrived there - all of them after us. The queue was very long, but it was a cake walk for me.

Two more of my friends joined us and they somehow managed to break into the queue. They did the work and I just stayed in the queue a little behind - just in case! Then we went to King & Cardinal at Himayat Nagar and had burgers there. I came home after that. In short, I enjoyed the day and attended no single class.

My friend who stayed back in the evening at OU submitted the forms. His patience really paid him and it was nice that it happened. Else those 8 forms would have been a waste. I am waiting to see how he is going to react - he wanted me to stay there yesterday and I gave several reasons for not being with him; I also had to skip the college today and go to OU for the second time. I am sure he must be feeling proud of himself!

I had written the above part a few hours back and now its 11:26 pm here. I just published the above without keeping it as a draft. I wanted it to be there even before I could complete it!

I also came to know that my friend who submitted the forms yesterday had to bribe the people there and give them Rs.50 per form. I haven't confirmed it yet.

We had dinner a little today as my mother arrived late. The best thing was home made potato chips. I had them today after quite a lot of time. Like daily I spent time in front of the television even today watching Peace TV. Dr. Zakir Naik's program again.

I do not remember I have written this on my blog but here it is: government of Andhra Pradesh has banned the telecast of Pakistani channels in Hyderabad and maybe even in the whole state. But Peace TV being Indian, is not at all banned. Q TV is banned. Some cable operators are not telecasting Peace TV and are telling their customers that they are not allowed to broadcast it on the network. They are wrong. Peace TV has it's studios in Mumbai (I am not sure) and it is an Indian Channel. Peace TV has never been banned.
