At many instances. I am usually very cool, but can't bear situations like, when u are kept waiting for a long at a traffic junction for sake some BABU who usually will have a parade of cars... Yesterday, on the way to my room suddenly saw a dozen of traffic police trying to stop ppl from all the 4 sides of the junction in order to give a way to some JUNK fellow(I really want to use the meanest word for the 99% of the current politicians).
Forbes says politician is the worlds best job (http://www.forbes.com/2006/05/20/cx_hc_06work_forever_jobs_slide.htmll ) and this job is almost constant with time. But for anyone to qualify for this job, one should have a strong muscle, records with police station (early in life), and a bit of money to start with.

Wayward Thoughts
Ohhhhhh, finally checked in the code for new CLI (it was a bit tight schedule). Now I can find lot of holes in my schedule :-) .
Last 20 days had been a roller coaster as far as my thoughts were concerned, they were trying to figure out something or trying to sway towards (what?), in futile. I got frustrated with these wayward thoughts even sesnsed my head heating up... for nothing.
Last week, I had been to my home town (Warangal). It was a nice break, met R. Kiran (returned from London in the same week), and played with niece at home. Over all this trip worked well to cool my head.
During this time, completed 80% of the book 80 / 20 principle (by Richard. Koch). I liked this book because of its content (its more of real world behavior observation). Unlike mgmt book it rarely tried preaching something.
During my return journey from Warangal to Hyderabad, at one stretch (for 1 hr) the weather was fabulous with cool breeze, sky totally clouded (day turned to dark) and greenery every where... thought, no need to go anywhere to enjoy the nature.
Surprise Surprise,
For the first time removed my moustache.. (NO its not going to be permanent) on day 1 looked ugly (to myself, anyway mirror won't lie), but from day 2 onwards felt NOT BAD. I have a snap but not daring to show it :-)

Ponting tastes punch in test match too
Aussie just clean swept the test series against S.A (3 - 0), and seemed like heading towards their best (with the inclusion of Stuart Clark). But surprisingly Bangladesh team rattled the Australian team on the Day 1 of the first test (Ponting already suffered a blow from Bangladesh, in one of the ODI at England). All the batsman played very positively, particularly against Shane Warne. I was surprised to see Nafees play the sweep shots (from out side the off-stump) with 100% success, glorious cover drives and cut shots. He played too cleanly and I think Nafees's Innings will inspire the whole team and probably help them in joining the bigger league. Recent failures of Srilanka in both forms of the game means, probably Bangladesh may try to over take SRL's position (if they play just like this test in every 3rd or 4th test they play).

Cup of Coffee
Got as a fwded mail. I liked it a lot and think its the best analogy/illustration I have ever come across.
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for each of you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.
Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." So, don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.

Fairy Tale
I knew, the topic is going to be THE MATCH between Aus and RSA every where played at Wanderers(Wonders), Johannesburg. That was fabulous and exceptional chase from South Africans. I thought Gibs will be the man to reach 200. If SA's strategy was to score 9 RPO, they executed it perfectly.
While playing Stick Cricket, I used to think how it will be if it happens in real life, boundary almost every 2nd ball.... here goes the match. At the end of Aus innings, I truly believed such glorious records has stay unbroken for a long long time or tooooooooooo short.
During the lunch, I thought only Indian team might have tried making a good contest, given the recent performances. But South Africans for the first time have overcome the "chokers" tag and astonished many including my room mate Suresh. At one point he said that even 299 was more than enough for the Aussies to defend (though he believes in Australian team's strength, he has more belief in SA's chokers tag, they fail to perform in crucial situation, even if the total is dismal).
To be simple it was SA's day, during 1999 world cup, when Gibbs dropped Steven Vaugh's catch, commentator said, they lost the WC. Any yesterday, when Gibb's catch was dropped, I recalled those words and was sure Australia dropped the match. Some how, SA teams plan worked, Gibb's promotion to 1 down, and Van der Wath ahead of Telemachus ... etc.
Still I feel, these kind of matches can be imagined/played on a PC game (take EA's cricket 2003) but its hard to believe, such a match was really played.
Well everybody is saying around me, highlights for this match will be a full match :-)
If u missed it, don't worry just tune into ESPN or Start Sports, it will be aired many a times. But u won't get the same feel watching it live. I was one of those who enjoyed it live.
To add, my colleagues went for a marriage reception and and called me up for score updates, they were not able to enjoy the reception and I could hear the joy from the other end every time my update was positive.
Finally, would it had been India (instead of SA), the whole nation would have celebrated it at least for a week.

Score board 03rd March '06
Hmm.. today was both mix of everything at our ground. I got "0" wickets but managed to get my prized wicket of Channa, through a direct throw run out. He was worried more for being got out in my hands rather any thing else. And the best celebration come when sarat got the (prize) wicket of Nitin . Sarat wanted to show his celeb skills in front of Nitin and ran down the pitch towards the batsman. Then suddenly..... At the end ppl said that, Sarat got the wicket but Nitin got the prize.
Well to fill those ......, Sarat slipped in front of Nitin on the ground and in the end, got his finger dislocated.

Week End Cricket
Hmmm, this is a recurring activity for a lot of 20 ppl. We start the game roughly around 8.00 O clock in the morning of Saturday, based on ppl's energy either we stop with one match or play the next one then follows team breakfast at the near by hotel. Its almost 2 months since I joined them.
Today got 4 wickets for my vicious spin :-) but couldn't save my team from defeat. They posted 59 in 9.2 overs. The figure could have much bigger if Nitin had stayed at the crease. Opposite team for the first time bowled a superb line and length (not even a single extra in the first 6 overs) and won the match convincingly .... we were short of 20 odd runs, I was the last man to get out in the last over (my score? - around 10).

SPTM: Operation Sunrise
SPTM: Save Pune Traffic Movement.
I am an active member of this group. Pune's traffic is one of the worst in the country due to many reasons, bad roads (or traffic infrastructure), increasing influx of vehicles and irresponsible people. The movement is all about encouraging the like minded people to come together and to spread safe / proper commuting awareness to at least make a tiny difference.

Clean Bowled
Over the week end, followed two matches, Ind Vs Pak (Seniors and Under 19 WC final). My good ness, I thought even the Senior Indian team might have had a tough time chasing 109 against Pak U 19 bowling attack. What a bowling, great display of swing bowling (real treat to watch)... and I think they deserve the CUP just for the 2nd over bowled by Anwar Ali.
Indian senior team is becoming strong by every game. Wonderful series (4 - 1), they outplayed PAK in all departments particularly fielding (its awesome, except in 3rd ODI) and bowling (Sreesanth and RP are very consistent as per Indian bowling stds). Way to go.

R.D.B - best bolly movie
Over the weekend saw Happy, Genelia was fabulous (gals look very cute and beautiful in Punjabi dresses than any other), but mv was avg. And the best mv in bollywood (in those I have seen) Rang De Basanti (R.D.B). Its an exceptional mv well presented . The message was passed beautifully, the scenes of freedom struggle were blended so nicely that, I felt they had more effect than a straight patriotic mv and the comparison (inherent) with the current state of the country was seamless. My eyes were full of tears at many a frames ...
Wonderful Job RDB team. Hats off to you.

Kite festival
Same building, but company chages. This is my 1st kite festival at Symantec ( infact 2nd, earlier one was as a Veritasian). We assembled at the ITP - A terrace and had a good fun, for not being successful with kites but by watching plight of people who tried relentlessly to launch their kites. I terribly failed for the 2nd year as well :-) with the kite due to lack of wind :-( . But it was a nice occation to get the mood re-set (by the when did my mood got spoiled??).
These pics were from the last yr festival.
