The world.. the world ...Ever thought about it? It's so truly Goddamn funny! Things that start and stop on their own, things you cant help and things you cant decide... Funny, plain funny!

Starting with this post, a new series of my views on the game of cricket, on some players, on some of the issues the game's facing and the never ending controversies. This is something I used to regularly do in college but got cut off for a while . Back on air now. : ) On Gilchrist: Gilly has a style of his own. He would'nt kill you but just hit you.And for some of us that's a pleasure. Cuts,sweeps,pulls,straight drives and more cuts,sweeps,pulls and straight drives. Before you would even acknowledge his presence on crease, he would be on 20 odd and by the time you have a plan he's crossed 50.

Its tempting to stay in the pattern and dangerous to move out.And so life moves on , round and round and round When you draw a circle there is a starting point and it meets that very point to complete it.Thereafter if you try using the compass to go all over it again ,it is'nt half as interesting as it was to draw and go through all the points the first time. For there's something about the firs...

Introspection about people and things around me. Whats changed and whats not? One of those days when I am just happy to be alone .. : )

We hit it big today! Kaushal, if I write about you I could take a long time and I am sleepy. Should suffice to say that you are the best negotiator that India has right now. Marketing Placom : I wrote you a mail. The Batch : Thanks guys! Abha: So you did admit that I am the best Company Co-ordinator. ; ) Cadburys: Here I come...

" Life boils down to a few moments and this is one of 'em" Bud Fox in the the movie Wall Street And today, there were four of 'em in one of the most amazing days of my life... 16th August ,2005 #1 : Megha and me at the Vivekananda Square at around 11 a.m. .. a tear or two on my suit and a tear or two on her shirt. Two sighs of relief.. and two chocolates down the drain #2 : " Amitesh , HLL spot" . That was a kick! #3 : Aparna,Aparna,Aparna... I think I got one of my best lines in with her today.. "So now whenever I look at you, I have a reason to celebrate... " Seriously , I am kinda proud of my creation.. I should use this line more often ... : ) #4 : The Walk for Marlboro Lights.
