Hmmm…
Inter-collegiate competitions have taught me something very important. The ultimate aim in each of these events is winning. Just today I witnessed the removal of a guitar piece from a song that we were to play jus coz a flute piece in its place would earn us a prize. So I eat the chewing gum only coz I get a free kiddie tattoo with it, not coz I actually like chewing gum. Strange …
Haila!
I picked up the bass and proceeded to sit down on a chair that was there 3 mins ago … and whaddya know, it wasn’t there! … My butt still hurts …
Once Again!
… India have lost a game after being inches close to getting a respectable draw. Now we have surpassed the West Indies in throwing away games. Some observations from the Sydney Test …
1) Anil Kumble is by far the best all-rounder India has seen; a man who kept his head even AFTER becoming the Indian captain.
2) The Aussies showed what the term ‘chance pe dance‘ means …
3) The umpires deserve a 21 gun salute … with all the guns pointed at them!
4) I won’t insist on getting technology into cricket. A better solution is not showing a slow motion replay 15 times after a wicket has fallen or an appeal has been made. This way the players would only privately get to know whether they were really out or not. All the unwanted media publicity and point 3 above would be avoided.
5) Deepika Padukone is not numerologically/astrologically/logically/illogically compatible with Yuvraj Singh (ref: TOI 6th Jan 2008)
6) An innocent question: Why did Bhajji call Symonds a monkey? I mean he could have sworn in his native tongue … that way only Sachin would’ve understood what was said and far greater damage would have been achieved with insignificant consequences.
An engrossing test match, but slightly anti-climatic in the end. Cricket ij really a vairy phunny game!
Bhool ja jo hua use …
MoodI 2007 … essentially a forgettable experience.
Great pro-nites but a nightmare on the quizzing front.
Well the title says it all …
