My first blog ever!!!!

Thus far, I was not drawn to sharing my thoughts with the whole world. I never thought I would write a blog one day, but somehow, the fancy caught me and here I am posting my first blog.

It's a nice relaxed Sunday and I intend to be home all day. Had a harrowing time in the traffic yesterday and I'm not too keen on driving anywhere today. Plus, an Ashes test match to add to my indolence. A good game of cricket today, with both teams fighting very hard to get on top. England are probably slightly ahead right now, but you never can say while Gilchrist is still there.

Just finished a sumptuous lunch and looking forward to a lovely afternoon nap, with the curtains drawn and an eye-mask!!!!! My bedroom really does get dark with the curtains drawn.

Looking forward to a good week at work. One of my best friends has his reception this Friday and it'll be good to catch up with the old school gang. Another good friend of mine is in town for a couple of days and I plan to meet her tomorrow night.

Well, I guess that is all I have to write for now. Maybe my writing skills will develop as I go along and I'll actually become good at this some day!!!

Burying some ghosts

The one thing in my opinion that sets test cricket apart from other sports is the time span for which players need to keep up their concentration and energy. While games like football and even T20 cricket are exciting because there is a flurry of activity every minute, I personally think test cricket is a tougher test of a player's skills, both mental and physical. While pitches like the ones we saw in the recent India - Sri Lanka test match at Colombo are a poor advertisement for test cricket, the moment a slightly more lively pitch was prepared for the third and final test of the series (which SL was leading 1-0), we had a riveting game. Going into the last day, India was in some trouble having lost not only M Vijay and the destructive Sehwag, but also the most dependable Rahul Dravid. In most successful chases that India have managed over the past decade and a half, Dravid has been the bulwark of the innings. Not to be this time, and it all came down to the batsman who had j...

World Cup Musings

The Cricket world cup begins in just over a week in the West Indies. Cricket's biggest event is all set to keep all us cricket lovers engaged for the next couple of months. It's always interesting to note the performances of different teams leading up to the world cup and see what kind of form they are in. If we look at teams that have some semblance of a chance to win the cup, the list would probably comprise Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the West Indies. Let us have a look at these teams and their chances. Beginning with the defending champions - Australia, they seem a bit out of sorts at the moment. Some of their key players have suffered major injuries, which is sure to affect their chances at the world cup. A month back, they were most certainly the favourites. They were playing spectacular cricket, and everyone was contributing. All of a sudden, Ponting has some hip injury, Clarke's back problem has resurfaced, Symonds has torn a...

Love you Dad

There is a lot written and spoken about the selfless love a mother has for her child. I couldn't agree more on that. I really think it's true that God created mothers because He could not be everywhere. On the other hand, I believe that fathers are not given the importance they deserve. Poor dad is always the one you turn to when faced with a problem, or a shortage of money, or when you need to take a major decision. Somehow, dad is not the first one you share your biggest joys with. I guess I am at a stage where I can impartially view the behaviour of children towards their parents and parents towards the children. I am able to empathize with kids because I was there not too long ago. I am also able to see the viewpoint of parents as I grow older. I think men age faster than women in the mind, because of which, by the time a child reaches his teens, he is able to associate more with the mother. He feels a generation gap with his father. But I do realise that a father is like t...
