Oops!!

We all have embarrassing moments right!
And yea, this was something that happened recently, i.e yesterday :P

I was traveling back from office in our company bus, and man, I overslept and missed my stop.
However, the bus driver, who recognized me, as I take the same bus everyday, remembered and stopped in my usual stop. He asked one of my colleagues in the bus to wake me up and helped me get down in the right time :)

Yea, indeed it was embarrassing yaar, for sleeping and missing to get down the bus!!
Oops!!
But I guess, I laughed out realising this and apologised to the driver for troubling him!

We all go through such stupid moments right ;)

Clean Sweep

And yea, the TamilNadu election results have come out!
In 4 other states apart from TN, on the same day...

And a clean sweep of votes in TN.
With ADMK winning in 198 districts make it a history of such difference in TN!
There has always been a close win only so far.. but this time... massive

The ruling party DMK, won 36 seats which was a shock!
The election campaign's up and down were the reasons for this...

But this seems to be kinda a cycle here in TN, 2 parties winning in alternate elections. So we can expect the DMK to be back in the next regime? ;)

Still, right now we are happy with the results around and waiting to watch the show what change is gonna happen here in TN with the new party on seat!!

Lets watch the show!

Abstract

Yea, it has been quite a long time since I sat up with my blogging!
Just to have an update on happenings around…

After cricket World Cup, we have the IPL which is the talk of the country now.
It’s so much fun to have a match amongst players who were playing for the same side few days back and now against each other!!!
The spirit and friendly atmosphere here is so healthy. The Mumbai Indians are currently in the lead. The league matches are on, and the top 4 would be decided soon!

So, let’s wait and watch the fun.
IPL a small match, a real test for bowlers who are smashed by the batsmen and for the batsmen, it’s a good trial to get them back to form if otherwise!
Indeed, IPL has turned out to be an investment in which they play big money than cricket!!!

Apart from IPL which started in April, it was the assembly elections!
I have no great political views, but I made use I used my right and franchise to vote!
It’s always a great experience to vote, and the right as a citizen of your country….
The results will be out this week. Not sure why there’s a month time for results which could cause more issues…

Next to the IPL and election drama, the revenge story of US on Al-Qaeda!!
Its everywhere on the news…. It’s a world wide drama and victory now…
How it happened and where…. The story is all over the news.
Yes, terrorism is on top of the charts now!
Be it by government or non – government!
A revenge of this sort was the only way out I suppose.

That’s it on the updates for now…

Cricket Fever continued…

Yes, the WC cricket fever has had its highest temperature possible!
Over 6 billion people have watched the finals, is what the records say!
They were all Indians wanting their nation to win over the Srilankans who were equally equipped and skilled!

The semi final between India and Pakistan was a thriller!
It was, no doubt the best match to have caught up live better than the finals!

And I must say, Dhoni a man of wits and guts… appreciated by all for his courageous statements and accepting his moves!!

Indeed the strong stem for the team!

Srilanakans won over the New Zealand and was an expected entry to the final. A tough competition as they had performed well through out the tournament!

The finals!!!
The toss was funny – yes it started off funny as the match referee dint hear Sangakara calling out heads which was not what Dhoni thought and finally, it was re-tossed!
A roller coaster I must say! …
Still …. Srilankans emerged as winners over the toss and chose to bat!

Though they started off a little weak coz of Zaheer’s wonderful strict bowling, Jayawardane scored a 100 helping them to pose a target of 275 to India!

Our key players Sehwag and Sachin lost their wickets early and India seemed to be in trouble. We INDIANs are used to losing our confidence on the team when these 2 are out!
But now, things have changed and there are more players to give us a confidence with their batting and commitment!
Gambhir and Virat played a good knock for gear up on our score. After Virat’s wicket, surprisingly Dhoni stepped up the order and played a massive innings of 91 to lead India’s victory!!
Gambhir unfortunately couldn’t make his 100 on this special occasion; still his contribution is far beyond records now!
After the victory of WC since 1983, the players rejoiced and shed their emotions.
It was such an ecstatic moment that they can never be penned down replicating the emotions!

Dhoni was adjudged the player of the match followed by Yuvaraj as player of tournament!

Once the cup was handed over to the Indians, it was fantasy!

Sachin’s lap was the best!
And the entire team playing for one man seemed to have been a prividge for the master blaster!
As rightly and wisely said by Virat “Sachin has carried Indian cricket for 21 years and now its time for us to carry him on our shoulder”
What a man he is, deserving the best!

Indeed now, we (INDIA team) are the world champions and they top the charts in all 3 forms of international cricket – Test, ODI and T20!!

What more we need to call ourselves world champions!

And, cricket fever continues with the IPL on the charts....

Cricket fever!

Yes, there’s cricket now all over the world…. Coz of World Cup 2011!
And now it’s reached the top 4 and on April 2nd we’ll know, who the champion is!

World Cup is a test for all nations to prove them to be best cricketing side in the world. The team which wins proves to have played better cricket!

It’s more of a test of your cricketing talents than anything else!
Individually, players get opportunity to showcase their potential and play for their nation!

Now, coming to cricket in India!
Man, when I say CRICKET, I get all goose bumped!

It’s more a than a game here,
It’s a religion!

People follow cricket like crazy!
They eat, sleep and work cricket…. From town to city!
Nation integrity can be felt here!

All we hear is,
INDIA INDIA INDIA!!!!

What more do we need then….
And the win against Aussies in the Quarter finals was history, beating the ruling champion of 3 WCs.

What more of a motivation is required now to face the semi against Pakistan, which is expected to be thriller between 2 unpredictable sides!

The other semi between NZ and Srilanka on Wednesday should be equally interesting for the world, as it’s gonna decide who is moving ahead to get the cup!

Wow, I’m waiting for that and will come back on my blog with the updates then!

Happy Cricketing till then!

Just Move On...!!!

I got this as a forward, and wanted to share the same...

Must read..
A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke. All laughed like crazy.

After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.

He cracked the same joke again & again, When there was no laughter in the crowd,he smiled and said,

"When u can't laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again.'Forget the past & move on'…"

social nOtworking

It was few days back, when someone buzzed me on one of the social networking sites.
I was struggling hard to identify the person with the name; yes… his name was very much there in his profile. Still couldn’t recognize.

By this time, the conversation had already begun and I replied as if I knew him well. Still, I was yet to know who that person was!!!

Then I surfed his profile for his photo realizing he was my colleague in the previous organization I was working with

How lame I thought to myself…
A person on my friend list and I don’t know him.

There are many more such friends on my list and I aint in talks with them.
So... This is the case with most of the social networking sites now.
People add them onto their list but don’t even have the time to share a ‘hi’!!

They are used to update the cookery for the day and climate rather!!
So does this solve the purpose!

The other extreme to this; people start the “keep in touch” via these sites and they actually lose the precious moments they spend talking with their near and dear ones face to face.

The emotional touch to the friendship is lost coz of all these is my opinion.

However, for the loners, this is the best way to keep them busy and happy!
Social networking is indeed the thing now and we being social animals cant live without it!
