The gentleman's game??

The lady is blogging on the man's arena, that too a gentle ones'. If recent matches were anything to go by, it wouldn't be a fitting description. The question comes if sledging showcases one's weakness or the complacence? It has always been taken as a right by the Aussies. It starts from the inauguration ceremony where the skipper makes it a point to tell how their's a better team and the weakness in the opposition. The battle is sometimes half won there. The right strings are pulled to aggravate the player on the field. Once in a while, the player gives it back(I am not going to support the act of Bhajji but then it was asked for). The culprit is the one who provokes the comments and not the one falls for it. The new 'young' Indian team represent the new India, not believing in staying silent, just because that worked some 60 years back. As Tharoor rightly says, this breed represents the new generations' thoughts- Give it back when you don't deserve the flak. Words are mine, but thats the feeling. I am doing what the media are accused of. This comment was made when Dravid hadn't put a follow on when possible and taken a psychological edge on the Aussies. This article isn't to bash the decision or stand by the new team composition. I still feel that the team should have comprised of some seniors(without being partial to Dravid alone). And when you give poor form in one match as a reason to keep someone out, shouldn't a poor series keep the player out too, eventhough the player is God?

trust

Why should i trust someone and expect from them? What is worse, your trust getting broken or understanding the fact that the person doesnt trust you enough. Both are bad. When your trust is broken, your world shatters and decide never to trust anyone again. But resolutions, like promises are meant to be broken. You trust a person and have no qualms about sharing things and realise one day that level of comfort is not shared by the other person. In the first case, you shed tears if there are any left in the quietness of anonymity. In the case of latter, you write a blog:D. You wonder whether it was the over enthu character which bullied the other person to give company but never get you to the level. Is it the first time, no ways!:P Will it happen again? in all probability. Quite a change in the mood from the first line of the blog till here. Guess wanderer suits me after all! But why the blogs all in a sad tone when i am more known for the roaring sea rather than the flowing river laughter? Its easy to share the joy than the thousand thoughts which swim across when in reverie. And one hardly thinks when in joy. It is taken for granted. And the analysis mode is reached when you want to think what went wrong. :P

The confussed mind!

What is the path when there is a confusion in our mind? When you yourself don't know what you are thinking about? And don't know what you should wish for since you don't know the right way to go. They say things happen for good. Is that true? What has happened now might have been for the good, but why did the situation leading to this ever happen? Surely it cant be for the good. Unless going through pain makes one strong, but is that a valid enough reason for everything to happen? And about learning a lesson from the whole thing, it doesn't happen that way. You end to go the same way again and again. And continue until you have reached your destination So why is that some people are partial in that, they reach there in their first attempt while others flunk? Is this a fair world???????????

atlas shrugged?

Most of us who have read atlas shrugged is fascinated, awed and inspired by it. Dagny doesnot find any sense to the communist law and finds no fault in having sole control over the railway line. We agree with Dagny and follow her journey to make it a reality. Even the other Ayn Rand book- We the living, communism is strongly objected. Now, in reality are we for it, unless you fall into the super rich category? We find faults in dynasties, but why then did we support Dagny? There will be a few Dagnys among the ones like her brother.
There is a US law not allowing any company have control over an entire business unit? Is this the opposite of the above or are my facts just scewed? Why should there be any problem of monopoly? If the competition is good they will get along. If they arent, there isnt point anyways.

blues

The visit to hyderabad finally happened. Exactly two months after the previous planned visit. The hosts played their part to the 't'. The later letters missing for making the guests open their wallets and the tea experiment etc. Comparing the hospi to my Chennai experience speaks volumes in itself. All in all, a trip to remember after jhansi.
The tour to the shahi tombs was echoing with laughter more due to the usual antics. Some things never change. But the long list of the kings and their tombs was a little saddening.
Then was the golconda fort. The fort which kept the city of hyderabad safe from the enemy's attacks. The sound engineering at that place is simply awesome. The amount of rnd which would have gone through for making the royal family realize the impending danger was thought provoking. Am I doing atleast 1 percent justice to what I studied?
Then the Charminar. The place to buy all the bright things which I wasnt interested in.
Hyderabad is a city which has preserved its ancient culture as well as moving with the present giving competition to Bangalore in the IT industry. That amazes me. There is one part of the city where you see the tongas and another where thereis the hi tech city whose entrance is like an entrance to the mosque. Too good.
This was all the historic sight seeing we did there. Four days werent enough. And the day we all took off from office was mostly spent sleeping. Did quite a bit of shopping there. And ate a looottt.
Ending abruptly, it was a good trip.

?

Why is it so that I am most of the times unaffected by the outside world? I always write about what is affecting me at the moment of writing the blog and is never something like a national crisis or even something I just got influenced by. This is again about the friends. Does it always have to be the normal route of forgetting them when they find that right person? Is now the time to distance little by little? Maybe I wont understand it, hope to someday. It dint happen in the last two years. There is one set far off, and a little difficult to connect because of the distance. And the ones who are here, the signal is weaker than with the other states. Maybe time has come to move on.
