A lot has happened in these three years!
On cricket –
India has taken the #1 slot in Test Cricket
Sachin has taken the #1 slot in number of runs scored in a ODI
A concept called ICL was launched and lynched, and a concept called IPL thrived
On the world –
We are having earth quakes all over as if its no body’s business! Is Doomsday on its way?
Talking about doomsday, The Mayan Calendar runs out on December 21 , 2012! Is that the end of the world? Maybe .. maybe not! http://life.gaiam.com/gaiam/p/2012-Science-or-Superstition.html
Professional front
I am out of night shift and now work in the day along with the rest of the humans!
I do pretty much the same stuff, but do it during the day 😦
I have opened my own company! Om Biz LLC! I develop websites for money now!
I have taken to Photography in a big way – expect a lot of picture blogs in the near future! I am trying to make that a profession!
On the personal front
My daughter turned three last month!
Our life revolves around this bundle of Joy!
I have’nt been to India yet:-( Soon .. verrrryy soon.. i hope!!)
I think I am missing a lot of things that happened in these three years! But right now I have a brain freeze. I will add on more stuff when I think of them.
For now .. cheerios!

Blogging is something that you cannot afford to take a break from. You need to keep coming up with something. If you take a break, it has a tendancy to becoming permanent. Cannot believe that its over three years since I blogged! My daughter just turned three last month.. can you believe that? I will try to get back to blogging. Lets see how it goes.

So the West Indian side managed to start off the worls cup on the winning side! Pakistan seemed like a depleted side to say the least! The bowling was supposed to be a weakness with key bowlers missing, but it was the batting that failed to fire! This loss is going to stay with Pakistan when its time to qualify for the semi final! West Indians , if they win the remaining two group matches, will have an advantage going into the super 8s.
Lets see what happens.

Hello friends, I am back after a long silence!
A lot has happened since I last blogged. Ironically, one of the most importants things of my life stopped me from blogging. We kept it a secret from all but a very select few, so I could not blog about it. Nothing else seemed important enough to blog about!
For those who did not guess! – We are having a baby! And we now know it to be a girl.
There! I said it.
Hopefully, now I should be out here more often!

They say what begins well, ends well! Well, in case of the Indian team, this has been the case! They won, the opening one dayer in the West Indies, lost the remaining 4. Then they drew the first three tests and finally won the last one! So the two end points meet to make the complete circle!
This is a new generation Indian team! The team looses a few and wins some, but comes out stronger from each showing. Loosing the one day series actually brought out the best in the Indian Cricket. It finally brought Md Kaif and Sehwag out of the rut. Sreeshanth and M Patel aged a minimum of two years in these two months! A great bowler like Pathan actually warms the bench, and his absense is not felt even a wee bit! Harbajan sits out two tests, and the likes of Sehwag take over the spinner’s mantle!
And all this is held together by the man who is at the helm of it all – Rahul Dravid! This man makes one wonder, why he was not the captain before Ganguly! Both entered the Indian Cricketing era at the same time, and both came in with a bang! He had prooven earlier when he was keeping for India in the ODIs , that additional responsibility brings out the best in him. The added responsiblities of a captain, a responsiblity that got the likes of Tendulkar down, actually boosted his performance!
Ok now to the match in question. The final test. The complete game(all three days of it) could be summarized in one word – Dravid! Quoting an Article on cricinfo,
“The difference between a boy and a man is the price of his toys. In this case it was wickets”
How true! In reality, this match was very unfairly tilted toward one team (one person in particular) This was a match played by 21 boys and one man! This one man stood tall while boys fell at either end. In the end he scored a fifth of the total runs scored in the game!
*Running short of time.. post to be continued*

Great article by Keshi. She yearns for fairy tale endings. What she does not acklowledge, though, is that the dreams and needs of people have exceeded the boundaries of ‘wonderland’! All aladin wanted was to feed his hungry mother, and snow white really loved her seven friends (and she really was beautifull!!). Cindrella was happy serving her step mom and her step-sisters. Fairy tales happen to the pure of heart, and not to the vile that the world has now turned to.
