Yesterdays match between india and pak, reminded me of our old indian team which used to drop shoulders the moment they were under pressure and commit harakiri. The way in which the much celebrated middle order succumbed to the weak pakistan attack on a not too dangerous wicket, is really shameful and i can do nothing but detest it. India boasts of
having the most technically correct and sound batsmen.But whats the use, if you are not able to last 2 sesssions. The only succesful way to play cricket is to play like the australians. Come what may, they always take the attack to the opposition and demoralise them completely. They are ruthless when they play and the only thing that drives them is the hunger and passion to win, on any terms.

It was evident from the way we played that, we did not have a game plan. The only player who had a plan in his mind and the right one was sehwag, who treated the bowling on merit. The rest made the pakistan attack look lethal. U cant win or for that matter draw a game by just defending. u guys are supposedly, world beaters,damn it. Cant u play out 2 sessions.

John wright would have been terribly dissapointed with this perforrmance. What a nice gift to him in his last test match as national coach. I guess our cricket has come full circle.

Just off from a hectic week of late nites, early mornings and loads of office work during day. Sometime before i used to think, how ppl get tired and r so dull by the end of day. Now i realise why. All the grills of the day to day work , really does tire u out.

Also i had this feeling (now that i know its a wrong feeling) that once u get ur h1 and then also get it stamped, it takes some time for the feeling to sink in. Not so in my case. I am rather relieved that one job is done and one less thing to worry abt, there are more things to attend to, apart from h1. Not that its not important.but thats what i feel now.

Had taken an appt for 1 march 2005 for visa intw, but was unable to get thru the nite, cos the snow storm. Shaayad, "Mera plan hi galat tha". But thanks to our old miltonites and ever dependable roomies, they got me the correct no and i was able to reschedule the appt. Here i would like to thank, bhosru, tatke and paps. Infact i am indebted to paps for providing me with the correct no. So next time around snow or not, i decided to leave early the day bfore appt.
And to my surprise it was bright clear sunshine all the days i was in Ottawa. Ottawa, is a beautiful old, cultural city,on the banks of ontario river.Not the right time to visit, cos its freezing. But nevertheless, it was worth it.Last week, i went to office just for 2 days. Hence thinking of going to office tommorow and do some work. Monday, again, i have to go to italian consulate. Yes, u r rite, i am going to Rome, Italy. Never imagined life wud b such a roller coaster ride. One word aptly sums it all up, "GBON".
