Law of Fashion
Any given dress is: indecent 10 years before its time, daring 1 year before its time, chic in its time, dowdy 3 years after its time, hideous 20 years after its time, amusing 30 years after its time, romantic 100 years after its time, and beautiful 150 years after its time.

Random musings and activities

While the akwardly fast-moving week certainly hasn't deterred my spirits, it only seems to leave me with lesser and lesser time to do my project, and more and more work to get completed in time, thence longer and longer hours needed to be spent at office. A small break here and there, and the obligatory 2-day weekend spent uselessly only seems to prod the time along.

Like yesterday - when the UR (University relations) took us to a barbeque and a football match between two local teams (Not American football, but soccer).

A warm day preceding a mild evening.
Cool evening breeze softening the nervous wrecks stuck in rush-hour traffic.
Maddening crowds of people, of all ages, weaving through a virtual parking lot on the interstate. Heading to the same destination.

Barbeque under the sun. Veggie burgers (for me!), salads and corn chips satiating a hungry group.
Interns and new college grads chatting, talking, gossipping, bantering and chiding away an hour of fun and laughter.
All preceding a stampede to get into the stadium.

22 people desparately waiting to get into the stands, and 2200 people desparately wanting to get onto the ground - Football.

Some really lazy photography in a really crowded place resulted in the following.

I got the moment a bit too late - as you can see, the ball has already moved away.

Dressed up-mascots and football, a combination better than ManU and Arsenal. Atleast for the kids. 6 foot mascots, along with a 3 foot wide ball, in a really small area makes up for a really funny game.

The huddle of the mascots - you can see the other team meandering by.

Nvidia also decided to give glowing bumper stickers to the group which came there. But it suddenly became more popular among the kids than with us. And so we graciously donated ours.

A kid, posing along with a the UR people, and the glowing bumper sticker to complete the scene.
