Of This And That

Presenting a few thoughts and observations [all my own work]

Like yesterday, I witnessed a truly fun match between South Africa and Austrslia. Australia, batting first, scored some 430-odd runs, and pretty much looked like they sealed South Africa’s fate. But the Africans weren’t done yet. After a stunning innings by Gibbs (170 odd, off 110-odd balls), they made it a real nail-biter…in the end, they clinched the match by the skin of their teeth. With nearly 900 runs being scored in the entire day, I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be a bowler on either side…

Like I really hoped that the last post on the chewing gum would actually have comments put up there…me and my silly, stupid dreams…something me and my girl do: WMD…George Bush, if you’re listening, our WMD has nothing to do with mass-destruction (which, incidentally, you cause, under the pretence of hunting out the same crap)…in our world, WMD expands to We Manufacture Dreams…

Like I am finally going on a long, hard-earned holiday…tomorrow night I am off to Ratnagiri, Maharashtra…for a ten day vacation in the Western Ghats. Wish it didn’t have to come at the cost of not being able to talk to my girl…more on that when I return…

To all the F1 fans, the season has finally started…hope its more fun than the last one, which was plagued by the FIA doing weird stuff like going on a tyre conservation drive, among other things. Pity Karthikeyan’s not racing this season, though…he seems to be a nice guy (unlike the other rookie last year, Sania Mirza, who bugged me with her obviously apparent bitchiness) Here’s wishing him good luck in his racing career.

And for a final observation: there are some great blogs out there (India Uncut, Gaurav Sabnis) and there are some crappy blogs out there (just hit random blog…chances are, you’ll meet something crappy)…after going through a fair bit of them with an thoroughly objective (read comparing) eye, I am happy to say that mine is on the better side (although, is this what they call blowing my own trumpet??)

Adios amigos, for a few days. I shall see you, the erstwhile seniors, at the Portals of Hell, when you guys write your boards…fellow blog-amigos (I know that sounds really cool, and all that, but seriously, there aren’t too many of them), I’ll be back with Ratnagiri in a few days…

And girl…I’ll miss you…

Santa is watching, so be good…
Yours truly
