My workplace is beginning to pick up the phase as more and more things come in place and they will reach into chaotic stage before I know. I am struggling to keep pace and jsut to fit the frame I am going back to basics. I think I need to do that coz I am more than rusty. I decided to buy books and bury myself, I have bought couple of books last week and a hut is on for a book on Economics. I have Adam Smith's "Wealth on Nations" soft copy, but me being a conservative in the sense of reading books, prefer the old hard bounded stuff. I got myself a book on Power Plant Engineering and one Thermodynamics. I am searching a book on Economics, if someone could suggest something ....
DDLJ early in the morning.
I love DDLJ. It is an amazing movie. I got up in the morning wanting to listening to the movie's songs, it is afternoon and the songs still continue to play on my comp. I went back to catch up on some TV and DDLJ was playing on some odd channel. The first half was finished so did not watch it. Come fall in love .... hehehehe anyways it remains a fav movie all time.
TV: In 1983 ....
The News Channels are just flogging a dead horse over World Cup, there is no hype. The reason cou ld be "extra" ordinary performances of the Indian Team. I am not betting much onthem, a semi final berth would be good enough. The top there teams for me would be, NZ, SA, and Pak. I am not counting the Aussies out there are there forever, but lacking of bowling options may hurt the Aussies. NZ have shown that. The NEWS is just playing the 1983 all over again, man be at peace, 83 was diff. I laughed when I heard that Kapil Dev passed out of DAV coll and won the WC Yuvraj too has passed out of DAV college .... crap go to bed.
I would be pleasantly suprised if ever get even close to winning, we have run scorers and not match winners, the bowlers are not good enough on form. The Spinners are out of boil. It is a sad case.
Last movie: Eklavaya.
It is a weird story. I dont know if u wish to get in line for the tickets, I just wanted some time out and my father being a big AB fan got the tickets. It is something impossible for me to decipher, relationships is something very very difficult for me to understand, I still loathe them as I have loathed them forever, it is something I cannot comprehend. Anyways there is a King and A queen and a guard who has willed to protect the family. The King kills the queen the princess has shown to be mentally challenged. Paints a picture of what happened, the mystery is unfolded to all. Saif comes home and every one finds out theat Saif is not the Prince, coz the King is not his father, then another round of killings take place every body is killing someone in the movie only the Hero and his son Saif survive till the end provided u survive the movie, Boman is definately good and displays great Panache, so did Munna and Vidya Balan. I guess it is alright if u dont understand the movie just enjoy some great camera work and clothes. The Camel stunt thing was hype than anything else. If one has great interest in checking out the clothes and detailing then one can look forward to a good movie.
I felt the detail of the movie was so paramount in the mids of the director that he actually left the story far beh9ind, I was damn confused when I came out of the movie. I just wanted to bury myself in my sheets. I guess movie making has shifted its focus on better packaging than a better product.
Whats on my mind?
I have been thinking on change of template. I hope bloggers come up with something cool. I have also been seriously thinking of starting a team blog for World Cup 2007. I have contacted Nagraj for once he is interested lets see if things work out.

Cricket: Aussie black capped
Cricket is such a leveler, A month back no one could imagine Aussies could loose, it is a land slide moment. This defeat highlights lots of issues including excessive cricket, and ill timing of series, take nothing away from NZ, they look very likely contenders for WC 2007.
Atleast they do on paper.
Matthew Hayden, big man big scores.
He is a stereotype in the nature of the way he has scored runs, debut then a long wait then a sterling tour of India in a historic series for him and Harbhajan series rest they say is history. How time chose mortals to leap into bracket of Legends ... anyways ... Matthew Hayden seems like a tree trunk of a largest tree u could imagine. He is brute ower. I remember he hitting Srinath for a six straight over his head in the last world cup. He could and has perhaps done that to best of the bowlers. He is brute power, there is no point in looking where the ball is going coz u are likely to imagine the distance when the flight of ball ends.
He hit 10 off those against Kiwis in the last match. He hammered them all over and still Aussies lost the match { :)} Shane Watson blast a quick fire 68 on top of the order. Hussey meanwhile does everything better than Bevan he is a better runner and a better finisher than Bevan plus he is a very safe fielder. I am not sure if he bowls regularly But he is very very good and very very unfortunate as well.
Hayden score 181 not out and he may have beaten Kiwis to all part off the ground but the worst or the best was yet to come.
70 for 4, Y know what ...
It is never over till it is truly over. NZ was 70 for 4 I had given up hopes till McCullum and McMillan started thrashing the Kangaroos with some power smacking pile drivers and changing momentum in their favour. MacMillan a suprise selection when SL toured NZ and then has merry of chances given to him. He bats a bit too low but then Fleming is the best Captains one is likely to find, so the theory is justified as the result is. he smacked 50 of 30 balls in the second match and now he went better a 67 ball 100, boy it would have been fun watching it. McCullum meanwhile is all about strong really strong forearms. McCullum along with Razzaq, Symonds, Pietersen, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Hussey are the best finishers and surely in my list of must watch players for me in this world cup. There would be more but these are the super exclusive I will be looking out for. By the way there is a very limited to chose between them.
Hit em all over.
McMillan would have been very very pleased and brings himself into very inform players to be reckoned for the world cup McMillan just spoofed Aussies bowlers sinking them to an embarrassing 3-0 thrashing. Aussies were dumb founded. The problem is using just 4 bowlers. It has been a key problem, with no Warne and McGrath retiring after the world cup, the Aussie bowling department looks out of option. Injury is another key, but one must realize that some Aussie player gets njured before a major tournament. Warne was injured last time around, he recovered in tiime only to have founf guily of illegal medication. I dont know what it is but some of the Aussie player has to go down in news as injured, if someone would could tell me why?
Anyways the whole cricket world is excited as world cup is open for more competition, the Aussie may still win though but atleast it would not be a spill over.
Atleast they do on paper.

Cricket: A curtain raiser.
I was thinking of wrtiing a curtain raiser to Cricket World Cup 2007. I recieved this forward on my office email ...
Do read it, I almost spilled the hot coffee over me.
It is about a husband and wife ...
HER DIARY
I asked him what was wrong - he said,
"Nothing."
I asked him if it was my fault that he was
upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not
to worry.
On the way home, I told him that I loved
him, but he simply smiled and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior; I don't
know why he didn't say, "I love you too."
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost
him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me
anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV; he
seemed distant and absent.
Finally, I decided to go to bed. About
10 minutes later he came to bed.
I decided that I could not take it
anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation
but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I fell asleep.
I do not know what to do. I'm almost sure that his
thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.
HIS DIARY
Today India lost the cricket match again.

Cricket: Hosts win series.
I think my snap needs an update.
I wont read much into last two series which India won. They may have between a decent and a ordinary team but there is not much home to right about. There is an obvious delight that Ganguly has made a "come back" then again he has to repeat it again in World Cup perhaps all over again. I am not considering India as the most likely team that will win the world cup. The Men in Blue winning the world cup looks anything but optimistic. The team to foray are New Zealand (NZ) South Africa( SA) Pakistan (Pak), U don't need to put in Australia coz they have all the keys and key players to world cup. This is what makes them a good defender. Lets hope they do.Yesterdays match.
It was the decider, the last ODI for India before they go for calypso World Cup. The media made it the match .... that wasn't quiet there. India won the toss, and elected to chase. It is a for gone strategy now that if India wins the toss they will invariable chase. The hype about India match is not quiet there as it was a year back, owing to some ordinary performances. One could easily exchange ordinary by shocking, the point is they did not win not only that they lost no opportunity to resign at every encounter. It was truly awful.
Sri Lankan first innings.
The amazing inconsistent bowling of Agarkar is nothing short of phenomenon. I don't think it is a smart idea to get him to start the innings first up. He is a great first change bowler and they must bring him on only after the first dozen of overs or so. He started with Jayasuriya licking his lips and wanting to just do what he does best, whack the leather of the Indian bowling, he almost succeeded till he played a rash shot and Utthappa control his emotions and held on to a smart catch. Then a couple of more wickets. Jayawardene the Lankan captain is so hell bent on innovations that he is busy innovating ways to get out. He comes in too late down he should be two down and let things revolve around Attapattu.
Chamara Silva found himself in a weird position he along with Tillekratne Dilshan helped SL back on the track and build moment towrads a very good total under the circumstances. They were obviously helped by the lack of some lack lustre. Harbhajan needs to grind in a bit and has to be taken more seriously. Dravid could throw him a challenge by brining him early may be first change. Lankan may have profusely thanked Harbhajan and Agarkar to help build momentum to set a good target.
Indians could not reigning in the momentum even after taking wickets and they have to find ways to control the scoring rate other wise they will find themselves on looking down the barrel just before the cannon is about to fire.Chamara Silva gutted it out and dealt in boundaries only nearing a maiden ODI century he thanked almighty and may have prayed to get to play Indian attack more and more. Indians were set the target of just under 260. The Lankans managed a very very good rate even after the top order was gutted manly due to over ambition rather than brilliant bowling.
Indians begin the Chase.
Sehwag opened with Ganguly and Ganguly retired just before the over was completed. Robin Uthhappa take guard and started essay one more slam bamb and whack to all parts of Vizag the hook against over styled and much hyped Malinga over long leg for six was a tremendous hit. He set the pitch on fire by smashing fours all over the ground and racing to a 33 fall fifty. I think he needs to prune in on his shot making. The thing which would have made Virender give an acknowledging smile. If I were Sehwag I would have looked at Utthappa very closely and see what he does with his feet.
Let me explain. All sports are about balance, the indoor one as well as out door once. Balancing is crucial to Mechanical Engineering too. anyways we may not dwell much into ME. The point being good work while batting helps in balance depending upon the shot which is chosen to play. A good balance means the head and so the eyes are static position and power or timing or both could be control when playing.
If Jayawardene is hell bent on innovation then Sehwag seems to go a step further and may be file a patent to get the copyrights for his dismissal. He would have cried as there was a century in the taking. It would have boosted his confidence but at least for now he is on boost of over confidence and a cavalier attitude. Man U are not indispensable.
Then there was a little spurt of wickets but the cartwheeling of wickets stopped when Prince of Kolkatta and Prince of Indian batting came together for chasing the target. The two left handers just turned the table on its head and blasted every bowler out of the attck with the very flambouyant Bhandara being creamed all over the place. Tendulkar would have taken couple of notes down out here. uvraj is simply brilliant in domestic conditions, even though he may be a little suspect of his spin playing abilitie, but there was no serious challenge offered. The only offer was to hit boundaries as they went of barging ahaed like a storm and India vistory seemed "well with in range". Yuvraj not wanting to drag the match to long hit four fours and asix all in one over to script home a good series win for Indian something they may have taken lot of heart from but it still does not convince me if they can script a WC 2007 win.
-x-
Aussie let things slip just at wrong time.
Well well well as I sit an write the second edit I gladly read on rediff that Aussies are no more the Number ones. I mean I don't want to shrug it off and be mean. The Aussies have been truly great and One has to give up parochial feeling and just watch them play. Each of the defeat they have had is actually a tribute to how they play. If some team has to beat them, the Aussies make sure it is a superlative performance of the team of the player or both. If one wishes to chalk out a few names in the last 5 years of so then names like Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Harbhajan, Dravid (at times :) ) then Lara, Flintoff, Pietersen, Bond and MacMillan come to mind.
There is no doubt that these players are one in a generation player and they do cherish beating Aussies. These are a few more players but as of now not on my mind. The Aussie have been great models on consistency and they play hard ball. The things have not ben so rosy in ODI arena this year and things may change and Aussies may not go into WC 2007 as favourites and actually pull of the Cup. They can always do that but now teams are making note of few points and hope fate will be in their favour.The key players are missing but one may have imagined Aussies defending 337. They could not and atleast for now Kiwis must savour the moment coz David has slain Goliath as off now.
Review of Chappel-Hadlee series.
I love cricketing traditions. The naming of series after former players like Border and Gavaskar trophy and things like those are a very rich tribute to the former greats. The Aussies went to NZ with an ordinary performance in the tri series and Fleming and co may have already had their P-D-C-A sheet ready.
A Bond or the Bond? anwyasy Bond blew them away in the first ODI as Aussies were skittled out for 148 (One hundred and forty eight only) it may have been a fluke but then NZ romped home with a steam rolled ten wicket victory. It was first time in history of Aussie cricket that they lost by 10 wickets.it was first time in 22 years that Kiwis manged a first wicket partnership of over 100. Lou Vincent amazing.
The second match saw the Aussie romping 337 runs of the kiwis and plundered Kiwi bowling in the death. Hussey who has been so very good did all the damage and the worst was to follow. The Aussies set 337 to win.
The chase begin in bizzare fashion as early wickets feel before a partnership was strung together to make a base to launch an assault.
The Aussies were assault by a burly on and off MacMillan who just struck thunder bolts and Fulton managed to be calm and composed and did well to rotate the strike. Then McCullum who is perhaps the best finishers of the game hooked McGrath into the stands and bought NZ a famous Series win.
The Aussies will go favourites in the wold cup but the aura of invincibility will be missing.

Blog: Sexy eyes
Ooh Ooh aahaa sexy eyes ... :))
It is all in eyes right? Well eyes are our windows to the world. Love at first sight? Well when cupid would struck me, I guess I was busy sleeping. I am in love with my sleep, everyone is, at least I am. Don't go off to sleep this is nothing to do with sleep it is about eyes.
I for eyes.
If I ever wanted anything in my lady it had to be eyes. Lovely eyes, there is a standard pj on this ,just in this public interest ....
Dil karta hai teri jheel se neeli aankhon mein kud jaaun ...
Dil karta hai teri jheel se neeli aankhon mein kud jaaun ...
Chaapaak ...
You need to be a good one for cracking those, if u don't then don't blame anyone; anywhere...
There is a definite allure of eyes that strikes a chord, in my case beats the drum. The Valentines Day just went by, It came and it went, people can say a hell lot of things both pros and cons but I just think If anyone can lease out sometime, just over a cup of coffee, my case a Swiss Miss then too it means a lot.
Eyes and playlists.
Well the topic remains eyes/sight, the following are random songs lyrics of which are centered around eyes they are not in a particular order, I think at this point on time I don't even have a list, I may chalk out a few and edit some off them in the due course of time.
Jaadu teri nazaar ( kkkkk Darrrr, Udit)
Aankhen bhi hoti hain (Haasil, Abhijit)

Sexy is the weather.
Well for last fortnight the place where I dwell looked likt this around the dawn times of the day,Gd has blessed Surat with really awesome weather, I have stayed in place where the summers were way too hot, night temperatures of 44, anyways I don't wish to think of days those days, this use to happen every day last fortnight or so and it was awesome. I enjoyed some great mornings.
So the story goes on ...
I have missed my blogs so much. I just don't wish to update from office, people snooping by .... I dont know whats it is like to work in a cubicle but I dont work out from a cubicle. I hate people asking me questions, why what and ... list iis long, but I manage to keep a Rediff window on, I love the articles of Rediff sometimes cricket updates and sometime stock market along with nice articles as well, Rediff is a great web site.
I read this on the news articles and I chuckled. The second time I am reading it now I cant help rolling off of laughter. I mean read this one, isn't it obvious, so next time u switch over the ACs just think a little. :)
Do these guys had to carry out a study for this, isn't it obvious, man your AC take off heat of your room and throws it out ever second and if a million ACs in a city do it for thousands of hours won't the temperatures rise? Energy cannot be created nor ...
Thermos Dynamos ...
I loved thermodynamics, never mind the fact that I did not manged to score well in Thermodynamics, but I love the subject and its awesome universal appeal. Thermo, Economics and geometry, any given day any given times, and any amounts. There is a regret tho, one part of subject, Heat transfer is something I think loathe and never got hang of it. If u do sned me some "Notes".
I had figured out Geometry early in life. The lines, planes, triangles. The median to the hypotenuse is half the hypotenuse. I enjoy it till date, not so much algebra and things like those.
Thermo remains a magnetic attraction and economy well ... not had much of it, but then, you can't ever ignore it, can you?
Jai Shiv Shambhu.
It is Maha Shiv ratri, a pious day, something spooky of it, they say it rains every Maha Shivratri, I hope it does, I love the rains and the fresh smell of the earth.
Cricket post coming up soon, I missed them and U know what I have reasons to believe people actually read them. :))

About: Wonder kid.
I like to get up early but not on Mondays. I think the saddest week of the night is one on Sunday. Anyways the whole issue is there are a very few people willing to get through the grind first thing on the first day week. Especially if one had a long journey from home back to home. Dont be confused it is something other than from traversing from one room to another, I am talking cities here ... anways ...
The journey was tiring but then it is about how the world is small and things happen in weird ways.
One in billion.
One thing is for sure, millions dont count anymore here. I was travelling back from Mumbai to surat on "Flying Queen". My parents were sitting bang in front of a sitting compartment, a little 6 year old kid came to my father (I was a few rows back) my father just causal asked if he could recite some poem, a prompt reply came "Nah! I play the tabla" great my father said and just asked him to play something on the small foldable table, he then passed his briefcase and asked to play "Ek taal" he played it he asked to play a few things he did it with Panache of a pro. My mother enjoyed every bit. After half an hour or so he came back and gave him his "Visitng Card" which read his name and proclaimed him to be a limca book of records holder for being the youngest tabla player. The little kid was with his mother and granfather and was returning on his way back to Amritsar with a brief halt at Surat.
My father got in touch with his grandfather and he proudly showed us a small signature note book with words inscribed by the master Zakhir Hussain. Man at that time the littl kid was all over and runing around like a little kid. A program was organised last evening and lets just say he played like a total pro with no inhibition what so ever.
Meabwhile Surat is being blessed by some great foggy mornings and it is awesome. I will post some snaps of the little kid and some snaps which I took in the morning the next time.
