Sid smashes and Raghu lifts it unknowingly and even places perfectly. Sid expects and there goes the drop; he should have thought he has scored(purely picked line from FIFA2005) but the shuttle remains in his court. After a few more futile attempts at placing and infact placing them into his own court, out of curiosity I asked him

"hey what happened? have you checked with your optician recently?"

he says "huh? nothing. Its just a parallax error".

Blogger blocked in INDIA

Seriously I have no words to speak right now. After a looooong night, am still awake to stomach something and see what i found in todays hindustan times!!!! Indian Govt. blocked blogspot or should i say in its terms, it stopped terrorists from talking to each other via blogs and truly they are going to face some serious communication problems due to the superduper act initiated by the Govt. and could stop (blog)terror for a while. What the heck is this!!!!

Not long time ago i thanked God for me not being in Pakistan after watching the news of blogspot being blocked and restricted there. But seriously, we are a democratic country... come on, freedom of speech ka kya hua bhaaaai? After this profane act, i am curious about the blogs I read and while surfing through the RSS feeds, what made the government to take that (ridiculous to U and Me) step? may be

!!the content like TOI( Times Of India aka Toilet of India aka Terrorists of India)

!!SIMI(that pooor guy was referring to Priyanka Chopra in Bluff Mater and was arrested)

!!Abu (Looks like the Govt. e-police left the "Mt." before Abu and are wading through the archives to find the info about Mr.Abu salem)

!!Mafia (I seriously doubt boblichiki aka Rahul is a terrorist now. He is the one who made me play that game and explained the rules of that game and i read the info in numerous blogs.And rahul shifted to Hyd recently. Skeptical enough)

!!
.Mao is great! tsk tsk.... (that post continues as far as I rememeber)
.Bong doctor is good. He says we should meet him every week there.
( My goodness!!! for godsake, HE who has decrypted that should have been the security protocols TA for us)

!!I am not visiting Andaman or rather any other island.Waste of time. (Anonymous blogger as a comment to post containing the above point and hence no ban in Andaman and Lakshadweep)

!!I remember this guy mentioning something seriously about Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine.

Now i see the interests of the Govt. in blocking the blogspot and the freedom.

I support the government (w)hole-heartedly.By seezing the freedom of speech they can clearly create a communication gap and the terrorists giveup their intentions as they are unable to read others blogs and particularly mine. (yaar i mentioned SIMI and Abu and I even know rdx formula!). There will be no need for our jawans to fight against anyone. What they need to do is Sit, Block, Eat, Block, Sleep...Block even in sleep.

Final word: Am never going to vote!

Choice is yours.

Our name may not be our choice, but it is something we have to live with all our life, like it or not,choice that is not ours - she is absolutely right.Later, we make and are made to make many choices that change our life, mayit be the right or wrong choice. Is it the right chocie that we made? Now what difference does it make if it was a wrong choice? I have choosen it. I have made up my mind and i have preferred something; i may be in a position representing a large community or even a country, but i have my own preferences. I have to choose between my own preference and the whole communitys' that i am representing. There will be times when we get caught between the right and the bad chocie;It appears to be right if its my choice alone and absolutely wrong or may we call it a bad choice, if i am a proffesional representing someone or say a country. But, that is what that matters is the thin line between my own preference or the whole countrys'. The thin line that separates the good from the bad, the gods from the humans, the great from the better, the right from the wrong; Zizou is no more a God.

I firmly believe something very bad has been said on the pitch to zizou and whoever doesnt, (can) skip the further part.

Yes this is all about how he made up his mind to head-butt materrazzi no matter what happens though he knew the consequences of his act.Is it the righteous act to commit? A player at his prime time who knew that was his last chance to do something for what he loves the most(Ok i am taking granted he do love his passion). Lets forget about France loosing the worldcup for sometime. Even the france sports minister crtisized him and he is not alone. Cribbing over what to tell the millions of children who love him and want to be like him? Now that love for being alike of zidane is a choice that particular child makes. And thats his own choice; if he prefers to choose the wrong side of zidane then its the fault of teachers or his parents or gaurdians or his own self who taught him to choose. Arent we taught to take only the good even from gandhi?

Zizou has preffered his own choice that seemed to be right at that time, keeping aside the benifits if he hasnt preffered his own self making it clear he is no more a God. I do support what he did. As deepu stated zizou couldn't stand the abuse whatever it is, and he made that clear to everyone pushing all his fans and the homeside to agony. But still i dont see anything wrong, he may be a proffessional as said by Psr, but still he is a human and he has his own preferences and has made his choice. The thin line was blanced more by his self-esteem.

Dont the movie actors represent the country? I will take that nod as an yes. Arent they followed? Arent they treated as idols by the children and the youth? Is the nod a big Yes? Then why are they portraied to kill people who have done something wrong to them or the country(a sudden thought of sunny deol) on the screen? Why are there fights if someone abuses or illtreats someone they care for(ranging from people to any statue) on the screen? What i wanted to point out is that, we dont care about them being shown as heroes killing someone though we know there may be chances of them being followed. We leave the choice of what to be followed and what not to, to the choice of the children or the parents. The parents guide the children which movies to watch and what not to... then why not they teach them to learn the good from zizou and treat it as a good example of the conditions that need a little bit more patience and especially how to choose the right choice. But still, if the child believes his self has been wounded and that was prior to anything other for him, I say zizou's act will be repeated and its absolutely not wrong.

Zizou was playing for the country, for the millions of his fans and for HIMSELF. I dont think there is a need for him to apologize to the children; Yes he has to feel sorry for the nation and his teammates whom he has let down by his act which costed them the worldcup, but neither the children nor the fans. The only wrong about his act was them loosing the cup and i feel the better side didn't win. (Better team by dropping the coach from the team)

Update:This post has been written even before zidane talked to the media and not published tho' for more updating work. :D

Give it up

Whoever is reading this and this post, don't be one of them, atleast try not to be!!You may not be one among that billion at this moment but sure you would(may) be the next. Though you are helping a noble cause of reducing the population, remember there are people and even unknown-to-you-and-me organizations(is it?) who care about you;whoever you are. So please try not to be helpful in reducing the population this way.. but still if you ask for it, I dont want to stop u, just find what suits you from those mentioned here leave alone - smoking.


PS: Smoking is injurious to your and others health.

Its been 35 years

The "Wall" led the team for a historic win. A new chapter in the Indian cricketing history, a major series win over the team ranking eighth after shocking loss in the one day series. Media suddenly forgot all the previous tests that were close enuff to win and started praising the teams victory to be historic.

Yeah cut the crap and see the positives-- inveterate fan.


Accepted, but what about the oneday series and the two tests that were close; in one, with three overs remaining and one wicket to claim and the other, requiring a huge total to chase but the only thing that went wrong was the attitude; attitude of the captain and the team.It may not be possible according to dravid who refers to history but atleast giving it a try is not that bad to think keeping in mind that the wicket was good enough to bat. Going to carribean with a team full of youngsters, a move eyeing the worldcup has gone wrong comletely and chappell has to reconsider his every step right now.Selecting venugopal rao and keeping laxman aside, leaving out zaheer and dinesh mongia; whatever the team is and whoever is selcting the team, i am rather curious about the selction process now. zaheer banged a 9 wicket haul and dinesh mongia having a very good season, may it be the county cricket but performance is what that matters and thats what we are doing.... celebrating a win over a team ranking eighth.

This series may have added a page in the indian cricketing history after 35 years but still clearly shows how good we are, out of the subcontinent!! Dravid as a batsmen is simply superb all over the series but as a captain, i may be a bit harsh but i seriously cant accept him being the captain anymore after seeing the field placements and, handling the pressurised stiuations(as a captain) demand something more like what we have seen in the tests, all what we need is a wicket and munaf patel 'may be' the chocie but sreesanth!!!!!!

we want more, more from the gods. aren't they?

Placement fever

Life these days has been exciting to say the least if not fun. These placement days has shown me a lot of drama, suspense, tragedy and action. Nothing romantic. Finally, its over. After two and half weeks of melodrama I finally made it into Infosys. It all started very early just 10 days after the sem exams. I dunno why, but I worked on my resume ‘n’ number of times as if my future is tied to it. The Personal achievements column in the resume is something I couldn’t get and I took almost four hours to fill it up. Is it what we think as personal achievement or what companies expect us to achieve since childhood? I had one and only one option to fill it up. Friends!

And I know it should be filled with something that makes sense to the senseless ppl and am left with no options rather than writing something seriously stupid.

On the very first day, after the Mindtree test any doubts of me having a little knowledge of C are thrashed to hell and I felt like another akthar being bashed by sachin. Like any other DA-IICTian I thought the company doesn’t have the luck to have me there working for them and slept peacefully.

The next day when I woke up I was a bit frantic about Infosys. I dunno why I was so despo about a company shipping people but still the feeling of me getting over the technical test sent shivers through the spine. Thankfully they had an aptitude test and nothing technical. I never stood before the notice board to watch my name, be it to search for results or to find my name in the flunked list. But this time I was there sweating in the hot sun to see my name in the list that is to be announced. The result was soon released and the list was not showing my name and that was a heartbreaking moment! But it was a moment of relief when I was told about the other lists that are to be put up in few mins and there I am waiting hopefully and atlast after seeing my name and the time of the interview, rushed to my room, took a quick bath and then into the formals quickly and search for a belt and then the shoes. I never felt so awkward standing in the formals with shoes but sigh of relief when almost every known person in the college is in formals and it looked as if I am in some primary school. Finally after the interviews and a looong session of announcing the final list, party time and almost 153 students made into it. Calls to home and srinu and I am thankful to all who wished me success.

Am I happy? Yes I am!!!! Because more than me getting a job, the ordeal is finally over. If its not that day, I am confident about me being jobless after the total placement process. Every other company asking for the technical knowledge and without any preparation, for students who just carryon the baton by the grace of friends who teach before the exams and one day batting, it’s a huge blow to ask the inner and outer joins or the triggers in SQL or number of pins 8085 chip has.

Apart from placements, the temperature here after the placements has suddenly gone down and I deleted my orkut account. It was predecided and not an imitation. I will definitely return but need some time and Loong sessions of sleep and bakar and lots of leg pulling!! and lots of pathetic movies like fanaa, tenth class and some good movies. Life seems to be okay :)

Tag -3

This is not the first time I was tagged... but this is the first time I am going to answer a tag. Others, no sulking! Decided to reply all the tags in the descending order of dates of their origins. Not every decision has a reason.

Getting down to the business, it was the crime master Abhay who has initiated this weapon with a chain reaction to get to know the(most)embracing situations in ur life.

Listing them in the ascending order of their inception. Yet again, every decision need not have a reason.

Way back in 1999

It was Annual sports day and I was enjoying the free time moving around cheering up friends who are participating and persuading them to treat me if they win. FYI, I am not comfortable with these outdoor games or sports, leave alone cricket and running is out of my dictionary. That day we had 100mts sprint and I was standing there watching and was betting on the winner. I just came to know, I am gud at guessing. There is this Sir who called me up and asked me to join the row as one person is missing and participate in the event. Sir, u have to be kiddin.. Me and sprint. No way!!! And I was startled to hear sir announcing Mohanchandra Kodali is going to participate!!!!!! Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr was the shrill cry. None to rescue and had to get into it finally. Here goes the whistle and there goes the sprinters, along comes a sluggish participant. I was just a “few” feet away from the base line and heard my frnd shouting U WON, U WON, U WON, U WON!!!!!!!!!

Whaaaat on earth…. u won the bet man! You won the bet. I lifted the head only to realize the only person behind the finish line and nearer to the base line was me. Knowing that it would take 'few' mins to complete, I was off the track in secs… It was fine untill sir made the announcement of my time and the leaped distance and described my running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why on earth should the finals of girls events be scheduled rt after this :((((

Later in 2000

Guys we do have someone to lead the class, the 'class leader'. Responsibilities of keeping the class silent during the absence of a teacher, threatning and being as devilish as one can be are the definite characteristics. One fine day my bro almot 81/2 years younger, rushed in and yelled

"Oreyyyy annayyyaaa… blah blah blah"

In simple English its "hi bro blah blah blah" but the clause Oreyyyy is just like "abey Ooo" and I was the damn class leader then.

Saga Of my Bro continues

I used to attend a summer cricket coaching camp and play matches moving around a lot away from home that particular summer. One afternoon almost everyone in our team visited my home and my Bro was delighted to see so many of us in the same white dress and was moving around jumping. Kids!!!!!

He being a kid, everyone was trying to lull him… u know the very 'kuchi kuchi'…type I don’t remember how but everyone told him his place in the team as a bowler or a batsmen!! My turn and I told him I am a Spinner. He once again asked me, what? I tried to explain by showing him three assumed wickets and the ball stepping outside the offstump and turning inside..

He retorted "ohhh then why don’t u just tell me you are an off spinner"

Splash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
