Been too lazy/busy to blog for the last couple of months. Lots of things have changed since my last post. Rash is now in a different continent :( Terrorists have started targeting Cricketers. Our PM has had a bypass surgery and is back to work. A lot of friends have got married/had children. Obama has replaced Bush as the US Prez. Slumdog Millionaire has kicked ass at the Oscars. 2008 has been consigned to books and 2009 is into its 3rd month. We have had the Satyam episode. PGP2 is outta here.......
Some things remain the same though. The sun still rises in the east. The Gunners are still misfiring. I've tried to change myself for the 923525832057493th time without much success. The actions and thoughts remain the same. Guess I've not been sucked into the storm of change that has blown over this place in the last few months. Is this good or bad? I don't really know.It's been 24 years and I've never come close to finding out the answer. And I probably never will....

The Wall is back!!!!
This post is dedicated to the one player who's taken my love for the game of Cricket to an entirely different level altogether - Rahul Dravid.
Congratulations on Century No. 26 :-)

Relief
Heard something today that gave me a HUGE sense of relief. As IRIS isn't currently allowing me enough time to think, I haven't been able to digest the news completely but I'm sure something really really good has happened.
Thank you God

Crab Man
For lack of a better topic to write about, I've decided to post something on one of my best friends, Raghav Atmaram Naik. (Also the small fact that today's his birthday :D)
I'll not make this sound like a biography of Raghav as there are probably better places to write such pieces. I'll just write about something I've learnt from him.

Oh what the hell... I can't seem to remember even 1 thing.
So let me just use this post to say "Happy Birthday once again Crab Man"!!!
In your favourite colours too :-)

Africa
There's something about this continent that fascinates me. I don't know if it's the picture that's been painted by all those books and films. But there is this strong pull which I just can't describe.
I'm no wild life enthusiast eager to jump into Untamed Africa. With all due respect to the wildlife of the continent, it's the people of Africa and their history that is the real attraction. Someday, I wish I get a chance to go experience this first-hand.
Until then, it's back to the magical world of books and movies. TIA :-)

Little Dollops of Joy
What is life without emotions? More importantly, what is life without emotions that can't be controlled?
I don't know the answers to these questions as I've never had a chance to live life without emotions. And I hope I don't get to do it in future either. I know life in its present form isn't always fun. At times, it pushes you into a pit so far down that you're afraid you'll come out of the other side of the earth. But whether you realize it or not, life gives you a high as well. A high that is indescribable. And the reasons for these highs and lows need not always be comparable or related.
You could get yelled at by your boss or your professor, have an angry exchange with a stranger on a crowded street that leaves you fuming the entire day, have a fight with your wife/girlfriend, get an 'F' in your exams, get thrown out of an important job interview or discover that you've been served food so bad that you wouldn't touch it even if you were starving to death. If your luck isn't good, you could even go through all these emotions and more in the same day.
But at the end of the day, all that's required is just a small moment of magic: a beautiful girl giving you a 1000 watt smile, an old favourite song that's playing in a shop as you're walking past it, a call from an old pal you haven't been in touch with for ages, a Ferrari /Arsenal/Indian victory or anything else that sets right a small part of your life.
Any of these things and you go to bed thanking God for helping you have such a magical day. Weird, but true.
