We had a different kind of Cricket. There were some Englishmen and South Africans involved, but no Pakistanis. It was actually a conference organised by a centre for rural innovation, knowledge management and entrepreneurship at IMT Ghaziabad, which goes by its acronym, CRICKET. This conference is partnered by the University of Essex's entrepreneurship centre.
Happened to be the coldest Delhi day yet this season, with arctic winds and freezing temples (the body parts), but the conference went on quite nicely at the India Habitat Centre. And the day ended with a dinner at the same venue.
Tomorrow a friend's book, The Hussaini Alam House, gets its Delhi launch at the same venue. Huma, who wrote it, is my classmate from Osmania engineering college, and the book is her first. I had reviewed it here before, but suffice it to say that it is really well-written, and evokes memories of a world gone by.
At this rate, my habitation at the Habitat centre may become rather permanent.

I'm reading the posts in no order. CRICKET is a rather interesting acronym. And IHC is a good place to hang out, isn't it? Red bricks et al.
Yes, Meghna, so much so that I am wondering if it's a good habit or bad..to hang around there. Two more events in the coming week there.
