Spending time at home!!!

I am down, down with a bout of fever and loosies (yikes!) and was confined indoors :(. (I actually wondered if I should put the full stop after the smiley to end the sentence .. hmmm) So, I had to find stuff to do ... the first day was easy, I slept!!! Now day 2 arrived and I was sick of sleeping; Yes I was! Also I was stinking so taking bath was first on the agenda (after the usual breakfast, tea and such).

Not that I am this kinda person who never stays at home. It's a more recent phenomenon that I have started to go out a little more.

OK getting back to the point, was just wandering around the house and the washing machine was running and mom drags (the wheels are no longer wheels!) this thing several meters every time to get the water outlet to the drain. My dormant mind got to work, moved things around to find a place for the washing machine and now she does not have to drag it at all!!! Felt good :)

Satisfied, got back on to the overworked backside of mine and watched half of chini kum (nice timepass) and now waching a popular movie which I dont the name of but watching it cos it has Mr. bose (automatic qualifying criteria).

The current event adding to the passing time venture as well!!! :)

Watching DDLJ for the nth time (n tending to infinity!!) ... what a movie!!! one of the best ever. Dont really know what it is about the movie that makes me like it so much but I do! its not even that the story line is very realistic or anything ... hmmmm

another nice one!

He was wondering how he had gotten into this and if would ever manage to get out! He desperately wanted to hold on to something but everything seemed out of reach. Everyone told him this was something everybody needed to experience in their lives and it was just a matter of time before he got through it and learned to live with it. But the time it took seemed to last an eternity.

He even wondered if he wasn’t strong enough to handle difficult times in life. Finally he gave in, got off at the next station and took a taxi to his work place in Andheri instead!!!

- Making a dear friend in trouble smile :) :)

Worst things in life ...

- Guilt.

- Feeling helpless.

Entries in the first section outnumber the ones in the second!!!! :D

Well ..

It's so strange that only new changes can counter some changes (mostly undesired and not entirely in one's control) in life. Or so it seems right now ... may be that explains why I have returned!!!

ASHES 2005!!!

With ashes 2006 coming up ... I thought why not post this one that I had written about the last one!

This is undoubtedly the best cricket series I have ever watched no matter what happens from here on in the series. The only others that come even close to this is the series between WI and Australia in WI (in which Lara played some amazing innings) and our own Indians vs the Aussies. Guess its no coincidence that Australia have been a part of all of them.

Two consecutive test matches so enthralling might have seldom occurred between any two countries. The first one, England wins a test match by 2 runs (2 RUNS!!!) and the second, the best drawn match ever! What a treat it has been for every cricket lover world wide.

Some scintillating individual performances have been the highlight of this great series. Most notable is by a man they call Fredie Flintoff. It is hard to imagine that this is the same Andrew Flintoff who used to bowl slower than Anil Kumble once did. He used to be Geoffrey's mom's best friend then! And now he's the wonder man of English and international cricket. Second one that comes to mind is that of Ricky Ponting. What an innings! Full of character and determination, a typical Aussie innings that.

But above all its the team effort by the English that has put Australia on their Toes (to say the least). Everything seems to be going just right for them at the moment. Looking forward to another wonderful test in a couple of weeks. Till then watch some Indian cricket to get down to earth.

My previous post was something I had written a few months back so dont wonder what finished "yesterday" ...

More the merrier?

One of the greatest sports event, if not the greatest, ended in grand celebration yesterday. Not so much to celebrate for India though. A solitary silver medal from a contingent of 65. One thing that astonishes me is when people in India say, “A country with a population of a billion can’t manage to win even a single gold medal”. Well, this is not a case of more the merrier! Population, I think, is one of the main reasons of our dismal performance in the most prestigious sports event. A population of a billion brings along with it a million problems that need to be solved. Which is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately? Provide food (at least) to all Indians or provide facilities to sports persons so that they win shiny gold medals for the country.

Moreover, sports are not a part of Indian culture unlike the Chinese. I am not suggesting we stop encouraging athletes who have given their all at the Olympics. All I am saying is that Indians need to have patience and not expect miracles overnight.
