Day 671 - Its never 'just' cricket

I never really realize why the whole world is mad about cricket. Its supposed to be the gentleman's game, only the elite play it and yet the maximum people fight over it. There are always people who get selected and people who fight over it. There is nobody who is ever satisfied with a cricket team. To make matters worse, the religion also comes into picture and then there is the concept of groups. And in the end what you are left with is a large group of people discussing on whether the selection was fair and unbiased. Looks like there is no way out of politics in this world.

The sport which unites and splits us all

Day 672 - Mirchi - Its hot

We could now see Captn Venkatesh's true colors. Not only was he brilliant in handling our class but also involved the whole class in case discussion. Everyone had their own views and opinions and there were perspectives and ideas floating around. We could see that we as a class were moving towards something useful and meaningful. An important aspect that we learnt is the framework that involves the market segment and the product design matrix which helps us get a better picture of the case and opinions. I could see that both Sir and we students enjoyed the case a lot. We will be eagerly looking forward to the next case.

The brilliant climate thats prevalent

Day 673 - Disinterested Consumers and disinterested buyers

It kicked off pretty well when there were four of us who jogged around the campus and even went out into the forest in the morning. To compliment it the lunch was absolutely amazing. There was chicken, paneer, dal, dum aloo, juice, ice cream, gulab jamun. And then on it was flop. The freshers party for which there were 36 of the seniors who came in to conduct a series of events which not only were pathetic but also boring and not interesting at all. The supposedly senior batch were showing their hieghts of immaturity by playing lame jokes and lame events to a crowd that has a mean age of 24. There was crush talk, making people cry, adult jokes and lot of unfriendly and attacking humour. I started to getting a unfriendly feel of the batch 14 and do not look forward to any of their initiatives from here on. I slipped out of the room and went to the hostel. It started drizzling and I decided to go out on a ride on my roadbike. And it was an awesome ride indeed till Arambakkam. I decided from here on, ill just pursue my objectives and passion rather than wasting time in such things.

Morning jog

Day 674 - Things back on track

Things were long pending and as the sine wave or the sea wave predicts, whatever goes up must shall come down. It was time for things to fall on track and the time was now. It was captain Suresh's with his attack head on with not so funny jokes and hotel california 'joint's in his slide. My recent developed haki, enabled me to shield from all his attacks and concentrate my focus on just the essential part of the session. Next on was captain CVK's usual not so looking forwardly case. And I nailed it, writing with the best handwriting I could and relevant contents. Finally, it was Captain Lahiri's eulogy to human focus, but I managed to surpass even that by reading through the chapter before class. Further to add to this, After returning to the hostel, finished the marketing case and ended the day with a TT match which I won. Can you ask for any better day?

You have to wait for the Spring for flowers to bloom

Day 675 - Pulicat isn't good enough

I woke up for the day with Ganga sir on my door. I was supposedly 20 minutes late for the Pulicat trip which made both Ganga sir and Satya Saran sir volatile. I knew I had very little to argue and make good. I decided to give it a try and head out behind their Sumo on my bike. I tried my best to convince them for the trip for which I got a straight reply - You can go boating but behind my back. I was shocked and surprised to hear such a response from him. Not only did Satya saran sir gained a level of respect, But also gained a level of coolness coefficient in my mind. Even though the meeting did not go very well, I decided to be disheartened and came back through the scenic ways of Sricity back to college. It was funny to notice that the number of unofficial things I was planning was increasing compared to the official ones.

The boats that were not fit enough to carry the students

Day 676 - The Nagala Magic

The day I was waiting for finally arrived. It was time to get out of the ship and set sail for paradise. 13 souls agreed for the journey and set off to the wonderland. The share auto posed a lot of problems with going off way a few instances. Finally after 2.5 hours of a tough journey, we reached heaven. The smell of vegetation, the butterflies flying around, birds singing to dusk, petrichor smell all around, the sound of stream against the boulders, feeling the chill breeze against the skin, plants showering dew on your hair, the sweet taste of the herbal water and sights of mountains all around. I was back home. The 12 others had fresh memories up their sleeves and I had given the stimulation my senses were waiting for. It was Nagala day and the whole college was longing about it.

The 13 of us finishing the trek

Day 677 - The Dale impressed the onlookers

There was just one class for the day after which we were free. And as usual, I played TT. I played TT the whole day. Before Class with dwaipayan, after class with Tom, Then with swapnil, Sparsh, Nithin and Akshay. It was turning out to be a TT day. Suddenly the climate became awesome and I decided to take out the Cannondale. It was one hell of a ride with rain sprinkles all over!I was exploring the campus with trails all around. Awesome it was. Further, there were a lot of eyes on my bike and in order to market cycling, I gave the people test rides. And then on, it was dale magic all over them. They were awed by the bike and its performance. My aim is to get atleast 5 people out of 180 into cycling at the end of 2 years.

My cannondale the showstopper!

Day 678 - Its over. Time to shift to the next gear.

The extent the first gear had to take me, took me. It was time to switch gears. After the first three classes, decided to head to the Table tennis room where me and Aveek played close to 90 minues. Following this we played Counter Strike for an year and finally ended up with Football to end the sports for the day. And now it was time to do the serious thing. It was time to be serious and and move on. The time to stop thinking about hurt friendships, and start working on the purpose of this sail. So when the usual bullies came to my room to make fun of me, I simply told them to get lost on their face. The moment my brain decided to form the words out of the alphabet, I regretted it. The second BIGGEST things that I regret, after a lost oppotunity to make money is the rude words that I spit out of my mouth. When I was halfway through the phrase I regretted it. When I completed it, I regretted it. When I saw the reaction on their faces, I regretted it. "You are wasting your time. This is Bullying. Stop this and get lost." It was deep regret. Immediately I made it up by blabbering something to make it up. I could see they penetrated it and took it into the heart. And this made me regret more. It is the phonic attack with words that is irreversible. And that worries me more. Reckless words make a reckless person.

The Bokeh effect out of my wondow

Day 679 - Kill those Competitors

After having nailed Microeconomics exam, and also getting a full 20/20 on FAC exam, life was good. It was Marketing class next and time to study how to NAIL the competition. Personally I was not very fond of this kind of marketing. I tend not to look at the competition to describe your values but to set them yourself. But as Kotler and Venkatesh sir said, it involves a bit of both and a lot of other contingent variables. Like sir told Nipeksh's group, your time is NOW and its time to be aggressive. We were talking about the various strategies that the market leader applies in a competition and it was a very interactive and fun session with a lot of real life examples and videos. After the session, I got the news that we received the stock of new sports equipment that we ordered and decided to play football. it was foot ball in the rains. And the joy of end of Mid Terms did not end there. I did one hour of the Insanity workout in the gym losing tons of sweat. But the Icebreakers here is the OB quiz tomorrow for which trying to study was not working out. Forst it was Ujan and Abhishek pursuading me with filling air in football, then it was Ronak, Nitish and Dipesh who have made it a tradition to visit my room every night and waste my time teasing me with some random girls. And finally we had unexpected visitor in the form of Dwaipayan who kept on talking about photography to leave me with completely nothing, till 2 am. Moreover I had thought of attempting CFAT and CGAT which required high levels of Financial and Marketing knowledge which further ate up the time. It was time to set the priorities straight. This has to end and I have to end it. The voyage on this ship had a meaning and I do not intend to lose out on its purpose.

The purpose of this sail

Day 680 - Nothing is enough, even in Economics

The ship was swaying right and left. The faint hearted were losing grip of the Mast of the ship. The tougher ones were taking control of the situation. They say it right, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going." The Accounting exam was not just a test of knowledge but also decisions and presence of mind. There was no cues in the exam to be left out and nothing was to be ignored. The minute details of the situation was what determined if you were competent and worthy to set sail aboard this stagnant ship. There were a few rookies, who did very well. They got hold of the situation and came out on top. And there were the few experienced sailors, who missed out on the smaller details and cried at the end of it. In the end, all the crew of 180 appreciated one thing. This journey was no joke. It was the real deal. Nobody aboard can afford to be complacent and take it easy. It was what as Raghuraman sir calls it, Overconfidence Bias. Even the book regards it one of the most dangerous biases prevalent in the world. The main ways to tackle it is through self introspection and self assessment. And the major thing bothering me yesterday, understanding the seriousness of the situation and developing fear of it.

So it was time for Microeconomics and read the twelve chapters of deep profound logic. The ten chapters were seemingly in English but the engineers knew it was something much more viscous to decipher. I had no plans of reading it again and went through the main concepts. But there was Nipeksh, my roommate, Jagan and Dipesh from section B who took it a little too much on their head. They were up late night and even got up early trying to complete the portions. This is the fear that I want to achieve. This is the level of work that I want to expect out of myself. This is the devotion that I expect to see in myself at the end of two years. But this fear comes with a cost. The cost of courage. This attitude of courageousness is not something I am willing to sacrifice for devotion. Let us see where this thought wave rocks the sails towards.

Day 681 - Start Music - Here comes the Testing times

My strategy to tackle the floods were simple. Do not underestimate the ship. There is lots and lots of experience this ship has. The voyages in the past, the experiences, the learnings, were all inscribed in the books that were given to us. And that was what I was banking on the upcoming exams. One of the major things to tackle was the assessment of the situation. The relative ease of the subject that Financial accounting was, I decided to stick with Microeconomics till the evening post which ill start Financial accounting. I was experiencing a nice transition from my college attitude. From the read for exams mentality, I was stepping into read for knowledge section. When I used to think that the portions that were not tested in an exams were a waste of time. But now it is the things that you can learn extra, when you read from a book. The things that will make you confident when you talk. The things that will make you credible. It is that which takes more priority than the heuristics. So it was the day for microeconomics even though I had accounting exam tomorrow. But the only thing I was scared of was the seas were intense but they were not enough to make me scared. It is not the fear of seas that I am worried about but the fear of myself. The biggest fear of all, the indifference to the tests and the calm attitude. From all the 26 years that has taught me, it is the fear which drives people to hieghts and you have a situation to worry about when there is lack of it.

Microeconomics

Day 682 - LAGGARD!

With increasing in baggage, you will definately slow down. And it was precisely the case. After the first month and a half aboard the ship, my relentless food intake coupled with non existent physical activity made me gain 6 kilos in 50 days. It is quite a drastic increase and the persistent ankle injury is to blame. This has impacted my activities a lot. My running and cycling is down to a minimum. To get back on track, I decided to start of with an offroad exploration in the Forests of Sricity. Fascinatingly, what I thought to be a desert was infact, a flourishing forest from the inside. The green and isolation around can make anyone fall in love with this paradise. It was the first time in ages, the desert was showing us signs of mercy.

The exploration venturing out into the forests and fields

Day 683 - The Library

As the title suggests, I spent 90% of the time to day in the Library. Started off with Financial Accounting and finished a couple of chapters. Even played a few rounds of LAN gaming in the library. It is one of the best concepts that has been invented by man to concentrate and study and works out really great!

And for tomorrow, Ive got my cannondale with me here! So its going to be an exploration and Im all excited! This is the offroad trail that Im going to take:

Day 684 - The test begins and you are stuck in the comode

Lack of sleep was catching up on me. The ship was rocking and the tides were hard. We had lots of work in hand and distractions were creeping up. The sunset which was a pleasure to set sail was turning out to be very difficult to focus on. Further the boat rocks you so hard, it is impossible for you to lay still and concentrate. And that is precisely what happened to the crew. With not enough sleep, I was finding it hard to concentrate and constantly getting headaches. So as soon as the sessions got over, I went to catch some sleep in the hostel. Dipesh woke me up just in time for the Excel examination which I almost forgot and while I was still in the hostel, I got the email with the Question paper! Decided to stop and make a run for it. Finally reached in time and NAILED the exam. The evening was fun too by playing football after a decade. Here is a pic from the day when everyone wanted to show the captain they worked

Students fighting to sign the attendence sheet

Day 685 - United we stand

The placement committee was on a roll. And to capture the roll was on my camera. The common devotion across diversities, religions, regions, states, languages, color, cast, creed, education and anything that could differentiate people was all taken off. It was time to stand as one, stand as IFMR.

The colors of our ship

The Online Gaming which was Fun event for the day

Day 687 - The inspirer, inspired and the inspiree

The people in the whole world are good. There is some good in each and every one of us and every action of humans have another side of the story. It is the limits decided by us which tells us to classify the actions as good or bad. Based on this assumptions and standards that we decide upon and set, we are empowered to classify and judge the actions of others. But we may, every now and then question the initial definitions of Good and Bad. Basing the system of Law and order on such assumptions is not only dangerous but also advocates people to contest or defend the actions of others and makes people commit actions that can be justified in their own ways. This most definitely necessitates a need for an absolute system which is free of any assumptions and relies on definitions accepted by all. The best thing to relate to this is the definition of a meter of length. There have been many attempts to define the metric length but finally it was all relative. It is relative to a piece of metal kept in one corner of the world and everyone else is educated about it. But why arent laws also standardized and similar in nature. Why is there a big religional influence on political and judicial systems all over the world? There are many other questions not just pertaining to judicial systems which relies on assumptions and relativity which could be a major thing to think about.

Tea and snacks. A very good time to think

Day 688 - Keep running and keep up

Persuasion plays a big part in our lives especially as MBA students. Its is one of the primary things we ought to learn and master. It was the task in my hand. After all my life of being a lone runner, now I had to encourage others to take it up. Not only encourage but increase in Numbers. So I had to sell running and sell it real good. Ronak came in to my room and bashed me for not marketing running properly. But running is not something which people look forward to. The best strategy to market running is Time. Only time will hold an answer and will attract most of the runners. It is time that will make people realize its benefits. I chose to include the health benefits and few other benefits to attract a few. The personal goal that Ive set is 10 long distance runners by the end of the Term who can easily run a distance of 10 kms for the Sricity marathon. For this I am targeting some big testimonials and stories that can really help sell running to people. Often we find ourselves in situations when we are trying to do good to people but it hardly ever works out. Lets hope this photo of our walkway in IFMR attracts atleast a few of them tomorrow.

Day 689 - Farewell Lalitha Mam

The journey aboard the ship for this year was over for MAC. It was time for Lalita mam to be free and continue her voyage elsewhere. She took ten sessions where each and every one of us presented on a topic and her style of teaching was just extraordinary. The learnings from her class were immense and sure to stay throughout life. The feedback, knowledge and concepts from her classes were immense and each and every one of us had high levels of respect for her. She will sure be missed from here on. Immediately we exchanged some whatsapp messages and decided to make a slambook with messages and buy a gift.

Apart from the MAC, there was an urge to explore. It was me and Ronak decided to explore the lakes and beyond. We took the Palmyra road from Kobelco towards Arambakkam. The road was an absolute treat to the eyes passing through Mango orchards

The Mango Orchards leading to Arambakkam

After Arambakkam, we drove on to Pulicat lake where we learnt that whole of pulicat in their area is just waist deep. There were regular boats going forth and back taking 50 people to a nearby island. Also that island has source of fresh water which we can drink. Also the boats take us to another island with a temple halfway to Sriharikota. It made me all excited!

The fishermen's boats

The fishermen carrying their food

After this, the adventure was not over. There was another road which I had in mind. It was the road from Tada, which directly connects to palmyra road to Sricity. So off we were to Tada and on the way, we went on to see the marble majestic, The Oneness temple.

The temple of Oneness

And finally through yet another remote, winding and twisting road, we came back to Sricity through the Palmyra road. It was narrow and windy. It was one hell of an experience driving through it. Exploration on a Sunday afternoon after ages! On the way in our Journey, Ronak asked me what do I get out of this? why roam around these unknown roads? why roam around, when there is completely no need? A sailor especially in a stranded boat must get his directions right. There is no hope for those who do not know where to go. Venturing out into the unexpected is the prime sense of learning. It is one of the reasons that I got stranded in this desert in the first place. But I am happy that I have figured out how to read the compass and get some sense of directions in the desert.

Day 690 - Its a party, but why?

The inmates celebrate. Aye aye! We are sailing aboard the ship, in the thick sands, but we do have our reasons to celebrate. We do have our moments aboard the ship. We sing, we dance and we tell stories. A lost cause is not so much with the right people. People celebrate in different ways. Some have DJ, party, drinks, shouting and some do what they ought to do - Run and Cycle! Yep that was my way of celebration with a short 10 km run in the morning and a 30 km loop in the evening. Could the day be any better!

One of the staged photos that I took

Day 691 - Photo Photo Photo

It was posers day in college and I was supposed to take photos for the brochure. And we did everything but that. Making a few people pose is easy. But making a whole crowd of posers is very difficult. And everyone wants their facebook photo as well. Well, as a photographer, it was a delight to have so many subjects and so many things to experiment. And I kept on clicking and clicking till the people posing were tired! Not having any more strength to process, I just uploaded them as it is. With the usual people asking for photos again and again and again. People cannot really digest the fact that photograph is not just click of the shutter. The processing of a photo is severely unknown. I guess I should learn to be more careful not to lose my patience and explain

Some gems in the bulk

Day 692 - Is 26 too old to celebrate?

I am 26. July 10th, The day of the year when its all about me and nobody else. Wishes pouring in facebook and catching up with people long forgotten was all my birthday was all about. Atleast thats what I thought when I slept off at night. But not quite. I was woken up by people at 12 midnight and subsequently ass-kicked and wished all through the night! I'm so glad that these people were not so ferocious compared to my college bunch. Anyways that was that but the icing on the cake was the exam. I went in, I wrote it and NAILED it. All the people in the other sections told me that either there is no space to write or they ran out of time. On this very special day of mine I finished off the exam with half an hour to spare and one sheet of paper blank.I guess I'm a sailor now after all. I gave myself a certificate from the ship that nobody knows of. It was an internal sense of satisfaction and belonging. And birthday or not this needed a celebration. I just agreed to the first set of people who approached me and it was me Ronak, Vikram and Nitish who went out to Manasa. Manasa was like this Island that we can go with the help of some commercial boats. It was the island that had Beer! It was good to have those people around and finally ended the day happy. A man is successful if he is happy before sleeping. And I sure as hell was.

The weather that was icing on the cake

Day 693 - When the whole world cried, Why account!

The Library has its own charm. You dont really know its importance unless there is an exam. One such was tomorrow on my birthday. It was Financial accounting. The subject is like swimming to a sailor. You dont know it, you drown. Deep down from where it is not possible to recover. Not to lose out on time, I decided to hit the Library straight to practice. There is one thing to learn accounting, and there is another to practice. And my ventures in the past has taught me nothing else but practice. So I swam and swam till I mastered it. To an extent that I didnt have to doubt diving into the seas. And when I knew I can make the sure, I headed to the hostel to sleep and await my birthday.

Day 694 - One after the another

As the name suggests, the ship must move on. And none of the crew have to liberty to go fishing. One of the mail aspects of being a manager is to reduce your idle time. And here, in this boat, there is hardly any to begin with. The stats class has such huge terminology that there is lots of inputs required to understand it. The organizational behavior has so much learning that thinking about it itself eats up days. The interpersonal, informational and decisional roles of a manager by mintzberg that we have to keep in mind. And when we are done with all that, we look at the Financial Accounting quiz that we have to study for, followed by the huge case study for the CVK's class. Thats an MBA sail for you!

There is nothing idle in this boat

Day 695 - Quizzled

After a weekend full of fun, it was time to get back to the studying boots. It was QABD on everyone's speech. Business statistics was making everyone mad and driving us crazy!

Statistics!

Day 696 - When necessity becomes a Fashion

It was finally a weekend for us and it was time to do all the pending tasks. So in the window period of waiting for my phone, I went for a Haircut and cut it really short owing to the beautiful weather in Sricity. And after I got my cut, I was pretty sure I will be mocked at.

It was now waiting period in Chennai. I waited and waited for my phone - The Moto E. And finally it arrived in the evening. It was pure awesomeness. Here is a pic:

The last picture from my Lumia

When I went back to Sricity, it was all done. Almost 90% of the boys had a haircut. Many people had bought a Moto E. It was so good to be following a trend and be one among the crowd. Finally feels so good not to be viewed 'different'.

Day 697 - Absolutely nothing falling in place

One month aboard the ship ought to have taught some sense of direction to the crew. But it was hardly the case. Not only did all my plans fail, but none of them even remotely executed. The lack of planning and organized behavior makes me fail myself in all real world scenarios. It started with going to Chennai. The share auto fare which was not split up properly. Second on, the Bus fare to chennai which was not split properly. Then the hasty decision to go to Tidel park. The only work I had there was returning my Planet Yumm card which gave me a mere Rs 50. But coming back from Tidel to Koyambedu costed me Rs 25 and had some buscuits on the way, which was another 10. So the net gain of this sudden impulsive decision was Rs 15. For this meager amount, I wasted close to 3 hours. Further next day, went to get Krishna's laptop, which was a Freakin Sony VAIO, with Core i7, 8 Gigs of RAM, Touch screen monster! To get that laptop, I drove away all the way to T nagar to find out its in Vadapalani. Then had to go to Vadapalani, to get it. When I saw the laptop, I got so jealous and upset. My college spends 70 grand and gives a low configuration HP whereas my cousins gets a free gift from uncles abroad and that too a 90 grand Laptop! Though I am quite humble and would generally not accept such gifts, but this kind of treatment just makes me jealous for no reason. Its better not to think about it I guess. Materialistic pleasure is quite disastrous. In an impulse, ordered a Moto E for myself which is quite a decent Dual Sim phone. Hopefully it fulfils my overflowing jealousy which doesnt stop to boil. Further, in the evening, I went out to to an airtel centre some 1 hour away to find out it was closed. Wasted another 2 hours roaming around for nothing. Almost close to Losing my mind, I decide to end my day.

All this hoopla just raises a few questions in my mind. What is fair and what is not. There are my cousins, who get stuff like iPad, iPhone, Vaio when all they do is pester my grandfather. And they get all this for free! And here is me, who denies gifts all the time. It is more of an impulse. Whenever somebody asks something, I deny before even thinking about it. The only way I accept gifts is if people already bought it. Otherwise I make some excuse or the other to deny it. Its been the story all my life. There is some amount of pride which is deep rooted, maybe because of my parents (both of whom are very proud) which just pushes me away from free gifts in life. But I fail to understand why I get so jealous when I see others getting it. Is that dissappointment of a missed opportunity? I guess I will just learn that about myself in a few years. For now, I just have to get myself to a point when the materialistic pleasures don;t matter anymore. When I stop caring about who gets what and how much. The point when I am self content and satisfied with what I do and what I get.

A meme that best describes the situation

Day 698 - weekend!

It was finally a weekend for us. That means we get to land ashore and get back to civilization where normal human beings live. After surviving through the 3 classes, we immediately ran off to Chennai not looking back for a second. But this is just two days off, and there are another 696 days to go so we knew this is short lived happiness. We just try and make the best of it.

9 of us to chennai

Day 699 - A photo with fake expression

When you need to sell, and your motive is not to deliver the product but to sell it, then all you have to be is fake. It is quite natural. It happens with everyone. And often, we can easily make out who wants you to genuinely buy their product to be better off rather than to meet their selfish needs to sell it. And does marketing teach you precisely that? Apparently I am not even qualified to answer it. I got a meager 6/15 from the Marketing 'surprise' quiz which reflects my poor marketing skills. But I am not judging myself and still keeping an open mind to all the subjects. Here I am convincing myself, it matters, everything matters and still the thought makes me creep onto the 'why bother' box. Is this even a big deal? you will obviously forget about it when your pouring shit down the Loo next morning. Then whats the point of all these classes. Whats the point of this journey? what the point of learning when you cant remember it? Questions without the proper answers only show incompetence. And what is worse off, to be incompetent in a stranded boat which is a hopeless case anyway or have a fake smile all throughout your life to the stubborn hypocritical corporate egoists with a promise to finish the work and still don't care? After one whole month spending in the desert, After filling up almost half of the 5 subject notebook, after finishing off 2 pens, after reading and learning more than I did during 1 whole semester of engineering, after not even missing or getting late to a single class, after not even getting off my focus or concentration for a single second during class, I am still unable to figure it out. The biggest cowardice according to me is ranting up a journal which nobody reads. Rainy days come often and you learn how to tackle it. People pray for sunny days not knowing the power of the sun. And I keep swaying by the deck, holding the mast of the vessel, asking myself, what am I doing here?

Day 700 - Fire In the Hole!

It was Online gaming day. We started off with F1, then kept playing counter strike killing loads and loads of bots! Me Nitish and Anoop. And we sure did kill them alright.

Day 701 - Do you remember the Math?

The first one of the eight was Maths. The additions and subtractions required me to segregate the black from white. The good from bad. The yin from yam. The only thing that was taught to us since childhood. Addition and subtraction. But I believe this would be last of the perception of 0 and 1. Now on all we have to consider is Grey. The questions in the Math were elementary level and quickly finished them within half the given time. I guess this would be the only exam which will show mercy on us. The heavy weight subjects are sitting with a evil laughter inviting us a tough time ahead!
