A day at French Open

On Monday, I got lucky and an INSEAD Professor (For record, Profs here are really cool and take time to socialize with students!) took me and two of his other friends to the French Open. I missed the classes, but spending a day at Roland Garros was a dream come true. Back in P2 when I was deciding between Fontainebleau and Singapore campus for P3, French Open was a one of decision criteria! Good that things worked out well, and I was finally able to make it. We saw Nadal and Hewitt quarterfinal and a couple of other great matches (including two mixed doubles one of Leander Paes, and other of Max Mirnyi). Over all, a great day!

It was a perfect gift for me for the tiring Charity run on Sunday.

Now hope to make it to Wimbledon, and to the Tour de France in July! (unfortunately, as yet, no tickets for World Cup Football!)

Here are a couple of pictures from the day:
