In the evening went to Fremont.Sunday:: Went to Elizabeth lake, enjoyed boating there.hmm..now thinking of posting some of the snaps soon :-)
Better than Part-2, but not as good as Part-1.
In all, Mission Impossible Part-3 is worth spending time and money.
God created this world and then moved off to do something else, probably interesting.
And here we are sitting on the land of a freaking revolving planet of a freaking so-called solar system.
There are millions of galaxies around, billions of stars, planets and what not.
And what if one fine day, out of curiosity the head of anyone of the super powers countries decides to blow-up the Earth?? Then what??
What??
Before I forget I have to write this down.(will capture it soon too)
My heart burns to see my sideburns or non-existent sideburns, through out my life I always maintained normal length, neither long nor short, and now suddenly there r no sideburns.
Lady simply asked my 'how do you like ur sideburns, and I replied short....'wooosh' in one stroke she removed their existence. And I continued the polite smile with 100 khanjars in my heart.
Now, I look like Mithun-da of mid eighties (minus a muffler).

Well, sometimes work and most of the times laziness kept me away
from blogging, moreover as Indian team is not playing any matches
so ..... :-)
Anyways I'm not interested in SA-NZ series, I find both teams
very very unattractive. And less said abt Aus-B'desh series
the better.
hmm I'm looking forward to Ind-WI and Pak-Eng series.
That'll be a real test for our new heroes.

After we were through with all forms etc, friend who assisted me
in filing tax-returns, said..so now you are officially a 'NRI'.
5 mahine mein NRI, kya bakwaas hai. I hate these rules n
regulations and distasteful terminologies used.
Obnoxious.

The King returns, I would love to see his exquisite cover drives, square-leg flicks again and again..., lets hope this time his captainship brings back the charm in Caribbean cricket.
"Yeh karein yaa voh karein aisaa karein vaisaa kareinZindagi do din ki hai do din mein hum kya kya karein "
No I won't be watching any movies in weekdays from now, may be will watch one or at most two on weekends only. Btw howz this 'Beneras'? any idea?? ;-)

Again a major top-order failure, this has been a routine since Pakistan tour, but each time one player (mostly Dhoni/Yuvi/Pathan/Dravid) wins the match and that covers for the failures of others.
As I said earlier, where is the batting bench strength??
hmm..I feel Chappell’s policy of giving repeated chances to players is giving wrong signals to the senior guys like Sehwag n Kaif,
This policy has done a wonders for youngsters like Sreesanth, Raina and RP Singh but for seniors its not working.
Remember, Gambhir was dropped coz he was not able to convert is 20s n 30s to something big.
So, its high time Kaif n Sehwag should be dropped...but question remains where is the batting bench strength? :-)

Just read on cricinfo that, Afridi has announced retirement from test cricket :-)
He says he wants to concentrate on ODI only, is he serious or its just another gimmick, only time will tell.
I think he is following the footsteps of Imran and Miandad(who took retirement a number of times only to make comebacks :-).
His love with Pakistan's captainship contender Younis Khan is an open secret :-)… so it won't surprise me a bit if he too is nursing ambitions of captainship.
Another monday morning, hmm..boss is back from NY, so loads of work expected in coming days.btw, watched just 5 movies on weekend :-)Sins - Crimes For Passions -- total bakwaasKhamosh Paani -- very very touching movie, made with lot of heart.Coma -- another nice thriller, worth watching.Zinda -- another total bakwaas...Aprahan -- hmm good one, somehow director couldn't end it properly, just like Gangajal.
