So, my prediction about Sehwag made last year has come true for sure. But I really hope that he comes back to form in the world cup. I think his problem last year has been concentration. Maybe because he wasn't motivated enough. But what better platform to motivate yourself than the world cup.

I started following F1 sometime in 2000. Since then I have seen Michael Schumacher and ferrari win race after race with the same formula.

"Urgent! Rajkumar's demise" was the subject of the first email when I opened my Inbox today morning. A long forwarded chain, where one of the lines said "There are reports of violence on Bangalore streets." I thought he was murdered or something, but then i read - He had an heart attack.
1. When India used to falter chasing a less than decent total.
2. When we had only 1 batsman to regularly dominate opposition bowlers.

Its been a long hiatus in blogging for the past 1 month due to various reasons ... esp. work, laziness and an overall dull atmosphere here. But I hope to get back on track soon..
Recently I came across something called as "Widgets". These are really nice little apps which run on your desktop without interfering with your work. Yet you can use these to track your mails, calendar, notes, weather, to-do list and lots more.

We have all heard about software templates? But here I see the concept being used everywhere. Be it the grocery stores or food chains like Mac Donald's, Taco Bells and Pizza Hut's or even the downtown's.
First time I got this feeling was when travelling to Niagara Falls a few months ago.

Watching Sachin Bat in the second innings of the first test against england reminds me of the sachin in his hey days. He used to terrorize bowlers all around then. He certainly is not as good now. But the man's cricketing intellect is still at his best.
Some snaps from the snow storm last week!

I said when I passed by this new face i saw in my office corridor the other day. And I got a faintly surprised look and then a broken greeting "Oh ..... hi ....." and the voice faded away as I continued on my way.
Scott Styris is avoiding it for more success in his batting. Does it really matter anyways? No, not Styris' batting, but footwork in modern day cricket. Styris decided to cut down on his footwork to allow him to be more balanced when striking the ball and it gave him instant success.
The wait is over.
