Sixer!!!

Kudos to M.S.Dhoni and his boys for hitting a straight six, Down Under. It was a grueling 4 week one-day series, and they outplayed the Aussies at all departments including the Sledging one. I am so pleased, with the "Little Master" knocks in the final. They were a delight to watch. Hope his critics would keep their mouth shut for a while. Atleast for his fans sake, I hope he continues to play for another 3-4 years and provide us this entertainment.

Kudos to my stomach, for holding up six straight weeks. I have been on a traveling spree over the last consecutive 6 weeks, and I have enjoyed each and every travel to it's fullest. A couple of travelogues would definitely follow :). It's really wonderful to experience the cultural diversities, varied landscapes, extreme weather conditions, people's psyche etc, of our country all in such a short time period. I hope that I do get many such opportunities to travel around.

It all started at Trichy for a Cousin's meet --> to Kemmungundi for a leisure weekend with office colleagues ---> to Raniganj(in WB) to attend Amlan's Marriage ---> visit to Bekel Fort and Kasergod (for JTK's Marriage) ---> visit to Vaishnav Devi Temple, Wagah Border and Chandigarh (to attend Rishi's Marriage) and finally ---> Salem to attend a family function.

Now that my Boss has prohibited me from taking any more leave, for the next few months, I have decided to read a bit on World History. Perhaps it might help me in the future when i get sponsored (world) travels. ;)

Needless to say I am recharged,refreshed mentally, but physically drained of all energy and hope to to get that eluding short 15 hour nap!!!

Andrew Raj!!!

A couple of weeks ago, the whole nation stood behind harbhajan, who was allegedly called a racist by Symonds and Cricket Australia... People were taking it too personally, that how could they ever call an Indian a racist and what not!!!!

And now, just a few days back, there were a few stupid idiots who attacked a couple of North Indians in Mumbai, after a regional party leader made some arbitary statements to woe the voters of the state...

I wonder, what happened to the "National Pride", that was so evident and prominent just a few weeks back!!!

It's a few idiots who over-react, and the media jumps on them, and stump the nation for a few days...

This article by biju, actually explains the whole issue brilliantly!!!

On a related note, read how gandhiji slams the very building blocks of our civilization...

No one lives alone on this planet,
Want to live on this planet?
Then learn to co-exist!!!
