Men in BLUE-S

The latest fever in town is ICC World cup 2007 , this time spreading from the grounds at West Indies to the rest of the world.

As expected, back in India, the enthusiasm grew, the hopes were built sky-high, cos the team is to bring the Cup home...the advertisements, songs, videos,the street's energy all at its peak, all over-done, as though this sport was going to save the nation from recurring crimes, corrupted governmental bodies, poverty, hunger and all the injustice!

The result of energy and time and money of one nation on one team to bring "glory" is a failed debut match yesterday! What will the team excuse themselves of being in a form worse than a much younger, less experienced team? the opening batsman is out of form and wickets fall like pack of cards towards the end of the match...what a shame! The captain wants to call it a "bad dream"! Wow! we train sportsmen to be out of form and call it a dream, a sequence of uncontrolled actions...can we check if the coaching is done for putting up a good game on the field or making excuses to the public?

R I D I C U L O U S -- that's the appropriate word! I stopped supporting the game itself when the disgusting politics and business of the background were revealed about a decade back...I hate it, I will continue hating it!

Loathe the sad team, who talk big, disappoint supporters, corrupt themselves and look for fame without performance!!!

"as though this sport was going to save the nation from recurring crimes, corrupted governmental bodies, poverty, hunger and all the injustice!" - cant be refuted. But dont u think due to this sport atleast the entire nation comes together, inspite of all its short comings?

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

On to the next chapter of life

This post is a long time coming... I don't need to give any excuses though, I am a new mommy after all! After all that baking, my munchkin arrived on 20th September 2013...yes very much on time baby! The first 5 days were extremely stressful as my precious one was under monitoring in NICU, which meant I didn't have the luck of holding him close to me in the first few hours and also a lot of separation due to us being in different rooms...it was certainly difficult. But as far as I recall I didn't cry at all since he was doing great and was perfectly healthy. He confused the doctors with his heart pattern in the first 2 hours of his life and then came back to normal on his own. I strongly believe he didn't take labor process well and certainly not the pushing part... poor little baby. After we got clearance from all his tests (God is great!) ; we were allowed to take him home. It was a feeling beyond words, a realization of how lucky we all were as a family and with...
