Week Thirtythree - Meet the press v1

After AMS, MSI, LIC, OBPPD and ENT prep lectures, the famed press conference was the academic highlight of this week. I dont want to give away too much, but essentially, I was the MD of a tourism company, my team was the management team of the tour company, and one of our tours was involved in a very serious situation. There was a press conference, and we were grilled by two journalists. It was everything I expected, we braved it out, stuck to our guns as it were, and personally speaking, my journalism background saved me the blushes. By the by, we also submitted our business plan this week, for starting assessment centres in India, requiring £150,000. Not bad, considering an average 30% return over 5 years.

The other highlight of this week was my first county league wicket - batsman dismissed clean bowled. We played an away game with Harlington, batting first, and I scored a duck. Ball going down leg, wanted to play fine, closed the face of the bat a bit early, edged, the ball flew high and was safely caught. It was the bowling bit I said was the highlight, remember? Right arm off spin, the righthand batsman went frontfoot to backfoot, swung crossbat, missed, and the ball took the bails off. Neat.
