Is it just me or anyone also feels that some of the NBA play off games are staged?
Something is seriously wrong somewhere, how can one explain the loss of LA Lakers last night by 15 points to Houston Rockets, and the same team literally killed Rockets in the previous game by 40 points.
Oh yes, I fully understand the concept of home and away games, the pros and cons of both. Playing in front of home crowd, playing in their daily practice courts does makes a difference but should not to the extent of winning one day by 40 points at home and then losing by 15 points away. No I’m not convinced.
Exactly same thing was witnessed in the 4th game between Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks. Any one with basic understanding of game can say that Nuggets are way better than Mavericks in this season, it’s pretty clear how much Kidd n Nowitzki struggle to keep their team together, and how easy it is for Billups and Carmello Anthony along with supporting cast of Kenyon Martin/Nene/JR Smith to score at will. They almost toyed with Mavericks defense in first 3 games and till then end of 3rd quarter of 4th game.
Then what happened in the 4th quarter?? How can they explain the loss despite being up by 10 points by the end of 3rd quarter?
Suddenly they lost their shooting capabilities, suddenly defense become porous, almost non-existent, Kidd n Terry were left open to shoot 3 pointers. There was no effort and intent to win the game.
And then in 5th game at home they killed Mavericks by some 15 odd points,
Like I said earlier, something is wrong somewhere, they just want to force as many games as possible; there is much more to that meets the eye, hell lot of money is involved in every game, TV audience, sell out crowds, and of course players/officials all make hundred thousands of dollars.
For people sitting in stadium, it doesn’t make much difference to them; they get the whole carnival like atmosphere in the arena, with different kind of distractions in a feel good way, they just don’t realize that they’re being ripped off, and on top of it they just love to see home team winning over rounds of free-flowing beers.
But TV audiences feel cheated, they are just watching the game, there is no hoop hulla around them, it’s just the game, they overcome the numerous time-outs, commercial with hope of watching some competitive game but all they get is some ‘fixed’ stuff, half-hearted attempts, players just going through the motions. And that’s frustrating.

My relationship with this blog is turning out to be same as my relationship with everyone else..I mean as with all people around me. In short ‘Duniya’.
It’s not that I don’t like it or don’t like people…acquaintances ..friends….etc.
By not talking (vastly different from communicating) or not being in touch, some may think of me as..’bridge burner’…or for a lack of better word ‘bridge abandoner’; but something within me says I’m neither of these.
This is not an abandoned place, I religiously (again due to lack of better word) visit this blog (and blogs of all my virtual friends) at least once everyday, and I’m sure dear blog knows this and shyaad also understands this, which I cannot say about duniya.
And million dollar question is…what to blog what not to blog, what to show and what to hide…and stuff which comes under ‘not to blog’ makes much more interesting posts.
Nope, writing about workplace is not at all safe, though I’ve done that in past, but now that’s a big NO. And other interesting insights which one gains from personal life are too personal to share, or personal word will lose its meaning.
Still outside of these two premises, things can be written about / shared here, and for that some good writing skills are needed which I clearly don’t have.
There are so many wonderful bloggers out there who weave beautifully witty stories out of mundane activities….like getting a hair cut or visiting dentist or an eating place.
Hmmm may be some day….
Yes I’m a social disaster; yes I don’t talk, especially when everyone else around me is talking. Okay, I don’t talk because I find it very boring, and 99.9% people talk the OBVIOUS things….yes pretty plain obvious…and I hate hearing my voice stating obvious stuff. So prefer to keep quiet and listen (or pretend to) everyone else’s self-boasting half-baked theories and stories.
Why can’t we be normal….just plain boring normal people…talking about normal stuff…no more show-off, no more artificial talks….no more passing judgments about everything, no more proving a point or something.
Life is not a contest after all.
Plus, I hate this concept of ‘ice-breaking’…..why is that everyone starts with weather and ends up with economic policies when one cannot do anything about either.
I think,someday I’d start carrying an actual ice-breaker with me and …..

It's not that nothing worth writing is not happening, but truth is a lot is happening and I'm hiding all that.
(Wah wah that’s a cool “not-nothing-not” kind of sentence :-) )
Well, I guess I'm surprising myself but not writing about ongoing India-SL series or Mendis's or Phelp's exploits.
Or about Olympic ceremonies, like I'll be monotonously repetitive if I say China has set the bar way too high for other countries, no its not like that others can't spend 40 billion dollars to host a mega event, but they definitely can't manage that sheer number of individuals performing.
Regarding actual games, I feel certain sports should be banned, yes completely banned, what kind of crap is that "synchronized swimming/ synchronized diving/ Rhythmic Gymnastics/ Trampoline"???
Well, weekend was spent watching movies some 3.5 in all, and that .5 comprises 1/4 of Kismet Connection (felt like crushing its DVD), and 1/4 of Phoonk (fell asleep); Other 3 movies are mentioned on the sidebar.
Ouch, this has turned out another rant-ish post, so that's the prime reason I should stay away from writing anything on Monday morning.
