What a match!!!

Wow.. this current Ashes series is turning out to be spectacular test case of What Cricket match is made up of.. No one sided / lop sided matches.. Each match is a nailbiter..
Certainly this Austrlian side is loosing its grip on World Champion Title. Will be interesting to see how the series goes on after a 10 days break..

In the mean time Shane Warne completed 600 test wickets.. Thats really something extra ordinary. Muralitharan is closing on him.. I dont see anyone from Indian team reaching this height.. Only last hero was Kapil Dev, who managed to get those 432 wickets and stay in the limelight for some time..

Jerk-o-meter

Nice gadget...Jerk-o-meter
Description says gadget tells you whether you are not paying attnetion..But I feel it should be other way round..
Project lead of this new invention from MIT was on radio KNX1070... When the Lady on radio asked him a question that can this gadget be used for husbands :) ..he was confused.. may be he is still enjoying his bachelorhood ;)

Movies : Yaaaaaawnnn

Finally saw Parineeta on DVD yesterday. Supriya(my wife) was forcing me to see it in theater. But after yesterday night, she felt that I did a wise thing by not listening to her ( well ..I would love to see her feeling like this often ;o)
It was an ok movie with a comical climax (director might be thinking this as his best shot). Songs are nice to listen but situation where they are inserted in the movie is awry ..
Movie is based on a novel by Saratchandra. As usual male protagonist of the movie is a rich young guy who has lot of free time to compose music, and play with Lolita . Some misunderstanding.. and finally they come together.

Another one I saw on weekend was DUS. This project was started by late Mukul Anand, but was left incomplete due to his sudden death. Now Anubhav Sinha took up the mantle to finish it. It has become a hit in India. I saw few reviews claiming it to be sleek hollywood style movie. Probably the guy has not seen proper hollywood movies. :) Pankaj Kapur has acted well, but at times you cant make out what he is saying.. we could get it due to subtitles.
Climax again is maha boring..you need patience to watch these movies..

May be its the same story with us Indians.. be it with Cricket or movies.. We dont know how to deliver a finishing punch...

After a long time

Well, the usual thing has happened. I started this blog with much enthusiasm and after a solitary post this went out of sight..

Lot of things have happened in past days. Mumbai was paralyzed by the record breaking Torrential rains.
Rane fiasco and jumping over the fence to congress..and his celebrations when almost full state was under deluge..
India's cricket debacle (sounds a familiar story now..Huh..)

Will keep posting more now..
Till then ..Ciao
