  • But it rained

    Chanced upon this beautiful piece from somewhere.

    rain.
    it rained.
    I
    fell.
    it
    rained
    I
    loved.
    it
    rained.
    I lost.
    it
    rained.
    It
    loved.
    I
    rained.
    rain.

  • I am back..

    .. from the short vacation, full of eating and sleeping and doing nothing else. I did click some snaps from the aeroplane, and while the look nice on the LCD preview, I do not know how they have actually turned out. Will check and post if possible.

    Meanwhile, I have unsubscribed from the Freakonomics blog as they have turned to partial feeds after their so called partnership with New York Times, a crime. I suggest you do the same.

  • Off for a week

    I am going home for a week and won’t be blogging then. I promise to do a review of Chak De India once I am back.

    Cha!

  • Rocking at the Oval

    The Indian team is already on a roll in the third test at the Brit Oval.

    Imagine India winning test series outside the subcontinent without any century, without any significant contribution from Rahul “the Wall” Dravid (this is the one off thing in a long long time). This is so interesting. Everyone has done his bit and Dhoni has played magically to take the English bowlers to the cleaners.

    Even Kumble has come up with a half century. Keep rocking guys!

    Update: Hats off to Kumble for his first Test century, the most faithful soldier to Indian cricket.

  • How to tackle sledging?

    Offense as they say is the best defense. As Siddharth Ravindran puts it,

    What would happen if the non-striking batsman started chatting to the bowler as he was about to commence his run-up? There would be a hell of a fuss, and on-field chatter would quickly cease to be a one-way street.

    Totally agree with him.
