Before weekend

Phewww..another weekend approaching, and I always approach weekend with lot of childlike zeal n enthusiasm, I love Sundays but only till 8pm, coz after that my mind starts making schedule for coming week.

Well, last weekend was fun, we watched Ice Age - The meltdown in the nearby mulitiplex, movie was fun, just perfect for a Saturday evening.

***********

Read a very interesting n though provoking one liner::-

"People who believe in love at first sight, can never stop looking."

and I think its true :-)

************

After a long time, after 3 years I played basketball, and still all muscles of my body are cursing me for that, right shoulder in particular.

**********

In my last post I made an incomplete list of movies watched in past 2.5 months, well, here I have nothing to do...so I end up watching movies on my dear lappy.
In fact here I think here majority of Indians are like that only, normally we people do not have wat we call them….'hobbies' or some other interests to pursue…...so we end up watching movies, more for the need of killing time.

And "A Cinderella story" is added too.

**********

At last weather is getting better now, otherwise since almost past one month RainGod was doing some sort of weird experiments, it used be bright in the morning, rainy in the noon and cold n windy in evening n nights, now its pleasant, living upto the name of city.

**********

Now sitting on 4-0 lead, Chappel can do some more experiments with the line-up, its high time they accommodate Venugopal Rao in middle order, and also give some rest to Pathan too.

**********

Yesterday visited a bookstore; it was another lil nice experience, though a bit hard to stop my impulsive self from indulging. I did fairly well, and promised it to return back on weekend with wifey.

Another list

Yesterday I made my baseball debut....of watching baseball game at stadium, went to McAfee Coliseum in Oakland to witness opening night of new season, first game was between New York Yankees and Oakland A's.
Stadium was full with capacity crowd of around 35,000 spectators, atmosphere was electric, everybody cheering for their team, n favorite players.
Thanks to my collegues Tim n Ryan who took pains of explaining me the rules and regulations of the game.

In Mumbai, in first inning we were 147/5, and Dhoni's patient 64 brought some respect to the total, and in second inning he couldn't repeat.
In Delhi ODI, we were again 142/7, then Harbhajan's knock helped to get pass 200.Earlier also in many matches in Pakistan, lower-order (Dhoni/Pathan/Kumble) batted well and saved the game.
There is something seriously wrong with the top-order here, but surprisingly where is the bench strength???

In bowling dept, there is healthy competition , guys like
Nehra
Balaji
Zaheer
VRV Singh
Agarkar
Karthik
Chawla
are fighting for place against Sreesanth/RP Singh/Munaf.

And there are guys who were treated as tourists but never given proper chance to prove their worth
SS Paul
Joginder Sharma
Gagandeep Singh
Amit Bhandhari
Youhanan
Iqbal Siddique etc. (Well, this topic deserves another post on it only :-)

But question remains where is the batting bench-strength????
where are the reserve batsmen??
Venugopal Rao??
or Mongia/Badani who both are in in their late twenties.
Well, name of Mongia/Badani reminds me of many other guys who suffered coz of 'including Captain Ganguly' in team.
List is endless....
Mongia
Badani
Sodhi
J P Yadav
Bangar etc.

..without reason...nothing..blank....silent....just like that......


"dil ko kyaa ho gayaa Khudaa jaane
kyon hai aisaa udaas kyaa jaane


kah diyaa mainne haal-e-dil apanaa
is ko tum jaano yaa Khudaa jaane "


..they say..happiness is 'relative'...to me seems to be a distant one.

****

We lost, again..in shameful manner again. Earlier we relied on Dravid to save a match, and now we expect him to win it....thats it I guess.

****

I'm not sad or depressed :-)

****

Bored.

Photographs

3...days to go.....

3...days to go.....boleto apun ki first marriage ki first anniversary .....
and we are all set for a rockin' time at Yosemite national park coming weekend.

Life is fun...last 13.5 hrs mein koi fight nahi huey...and nobel prize for peace goes to wifeyyy....

Atlast after 3 months of analysis n overanalysis we've purchased this...and fun is abt to beginnnn....

**********

-- Saw Taxi No.9211, waahiyaat movie, and {yaar....Sonali Kulkarni ko Nana ki wife nahi banana chahiye tha......}

-- Office is getting hectier by every day, deadlines..deadlines and more deadlines..., no worries, chalta hai.

-- BNP is atlast making some noise in blogsphere, well this whole exercise is obviously not for the offenders to read n reform overnight, its for us normal
people to come out and take a stand. I always knew abt this but now seems that each n every girl atleast once goes through this trauma.
Eve-teasing is not just a single problem but I think this is a amalgamation of multiple flaws in our system, loopholes in the judiciary. Well, time to take some
serious action. I know things are difficult, but not impossible, Lets stand for each other.

-- Maut kaa ek din mu'ayyaain hai...neend kyon raat bhar nahin aati

-- hmm bad weather at mohali, another one heading for a draw.

-- watever ...Sonali Kulkarni ko Nana ki wife nahi banana chahiye tha.....

Lately....

Lately, of many things I wanted to do is 'write something' here. I'm not a blog-absconder as wifey calls me.
I'm pretty much here....mostly in silent mode.

Well, now its almost 3 months here, and a lot has changed....probably for better. At the same time, life is settling down to a monotonous routine or I whine too much, or both.

We do not own a car or camera, we do not go anywhere coz` we do not have car, and we do not have camera so we do not go anywhere. And I'm lazy.

****************

hmmm...I have never talked so much with my parents in all my life as I did in these last 3 months, almost daily we talk, and daily our conversation goes like...

Dad: "theekh hai"
me: "haanji theekh hoon"
Dad: "kaam kaisa chal raha hai"
me : "haanji theekh chal raha hai"
Dad: "mann lagakar kaam karna"
me: "haanji..."
me: "...mummy hai?....baat kara dijiye" :-)

******************

Here it seems that wifey is on some sort of mission to make me gain weight in shortest possible time, her culinary experiments are in full swing, resulting in more dishes to be cleaned (by me). Did I mention she is obsessed with capsicums as much as Bubba was with the shrimps in Forrest Gump.

******************

Well, we too watched 'RDB' here, first day 3rd show. To read the review click on the 'next blog' link on the top, as it is everywhere :-)

******************

4-1, is music to my ears :-)
Lot has already been said abt Dhoni, Pathan, Dravid and Yuvi, but surprisingly nobody is givin any credit to Mr.Chappell.
For me it was Chappell's victory over Woolmer.

Love hurts.

Happy St.Valentine's Day.
