T20 Fever...

I am back!!! I realized I was troubling a few people in my free time by cracking senseless and 'fatal' jokes... So I thought... well... I should start writing again... that way I can reach a wider audience... :)

Anyways, a lot has happened since my last post... A whole chapter of my life unfolded during these past 2 years... Journey to the US... Masters'... Research... Coursework... Teaching... Cricket... TITANS... All-nighters... Toppers... Road-trips... MAFIA... Badgers... Packers.... the list is endless... infact its not even a list... its something different... something that I can't put into words with my limited vocabulary (part of which was boosted due to GRE preparation...)...

The title of the post suggests I will end up writing about cricket... people who know me will not be surprised with this.... But this ain't about cricket... this is just a light post to get me back to writing...
The title actually has different interpretations.... the most obvious being the current IPL 4 and the buzz and excitement around it.. Another one is just a play of words... it could be T20 fewer... just hinting people are bored of T20 now.. cricket in general.. and there should be fewer of those matches... I guess after the WC triumph, the emotions of the Indian cricket fans would be maxed-out... The next occasion I feel these emotions are going to take over the entire cricket world is when GOD decides to retire.. (if at all...)

The reason I have this title is a little different .... its more to do with the attitude... Everything around me is moving at a break-neck speed... My MS was completed in record time.. I returned home from US before anyone even noticed I was gone... started working again... got a car... started playing cricket again... and then.. the most important event of my life... getting engaged... on a 10 day notice....
Like they say, every sport evolves with time... so did cricket... from the traditional longer format played in whites.. to the shortest one involving lots of colors, music, dancing, glamor, money... and more importantly, speed... The one thing about T20 is that its quick... it gets over before you even realize... It makes players take decisions fast... think on their feet... plan.. implement.. or improvise... Likewise, I feel we need to play the innings of our lives the same way... very fast.... that's whats happening to me..... thats why I decided to name the post this way...

Anyways, I'll end this here.. more to follow....

Andaz Apna Apna......

Perhaps the best comedy movie ever made in Bollywood would be Andaz Apna Apna...It is my favourite movie, and I cannot get bored of watching it ever. I have watched the movie more than 70 times atleast. But each time, the movie seems equally hilarious and entertaining...Yeah, u can call it obsession... i dont care... One of the aspects of the movie is the Overacting of the actors. Everything is shown extravagant. This virtue makes the movie even more funnier. I think the director just explained the shot to the actors, and let them perform it according to their own will... this is clearly evident in the totally natural and free flowing humor and presentation of the same. Aamir Khan's 'Aila' and Salman's 'Ooi Maa' are truly clowning. The characters are also interesting. Robert with his peculiar 'Galati se mistake ho gaya' and Bhalla with his ever sinister 'Pilaan' add to the humor coefficient. Paresh Rawal with a double role is twice as good. Sh

104 - TOW The Workaholic Me Well, the title to the post (and also my orkut display name) is justified by the fact that i posting here after a gap of more than 1 month.... In my last post, i mentioned my schedule.....well, soon after i posted it, my timetable went for a toss...training began to get extended, tests started becoming exceedingly tough.....no gym, swimming pool seemed non-existent and tennis was out of question.... My primary goal was redefined....going back to the basics....FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER.... If this goes on, pretty soon i mite end up like this.... I made it a point to hv a heavy breakfast, coz lunch time was as fickle as the Indian cricket team's form....1.30...2...2.30....sumtimes no lunch at all...just a sandwich....I even had tough time finding some moments to grab a cup of coffee(yes...even though its free, i didnt drink much...)...and dinner was just like a midnight snack.... Here, I can't resist quoting a dialog from Andaz Apna Apna..... "A

201 : TOW The Puncture.....

201 : TOW The Puncture..... There are many things happening around me that i could have written about in my blog regularly.... but being derived from the base class ' LAZY ', there isn't a data member ' m_ExtraWork ' in my class.....That kept me away from blogging for almost a year.... What then prompted me to override 'void Relax() ' with ' void Blog() '???It was this exceptionally funny incident that took place yesterday, 23rd August, involving Vishal . On Sat. 23rd Aug, me n Vishal started at 7.00 am towards Kothrud, to play cricket with office colleagues.... As we were passing the new stadium for the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) on the highway, Vishal's bike got punctured....I got off and Vishal decided to return and get Minal's Scooty. As I waited, Vishal called me and said he had found a tyre repair shop not far from where we were, and was getting the puncture removed. Since I was getting bored, I decided to go there myself....
