Worldcup is open

Character, courage, carnage, brutal, substance, class, ...

whatever you may call it. God! The Chappel-Hadlee series between NZ vs AUS was a treat to watch. What an amazing performance by the Kiwis, to have reduced the favourites to ashes.

My favouries this time (in the order of probability):

1. Australia
2. South Africa
3. New Zealand

Off the cuff

Linux - Play with the root and you will kill the tree.
Microsoft - Bugs only enter through open Windows.

One of those days

I commemorate only the following:

1. Birthdays
2. Wedding Anniversary
3. Taddinam (alias aabdikam viz., Death anniversary of beloved ones)

Rest of the days, such as v-day, love_your_pet's day (and many more) are just institutionalised.

Any takers?

Words of wisdom

OOPs! I did it again

Sachin was in news yesterday. Not for his recent century; but for his new endorsement as a business partner for a branded apparel company. Any average cricketer would earn for two generations.

Sonia Gandhi had to resign as the Chairman of NAC. You and I would have signed a 30+ page legal contract with our respective employers that resists us earning bucks elsewhere. Yes, the perspective is Office-of-profit.

I wish there were a law that would enforce such a thing on Indian cricketers.
