Car

Today I became the official owner of a Honda 1989. (Yes you read it right :P). My friend who graduated gifted it to me!

A post explaining

the issues that BJP needs to address if it has to make any progress towards forming a government at the center here! The post, while nearly identifies everything that is a problem, does not touch on Godhra, one of the most important reasons that alienated most voters. But still a pretty good post!

Slow progress

Some things progress at a very small rate. However, its better that they at least do! In some cases it is not that straight forward. I really do not understand how some people behave. Its plain weird! Anyway, may be there is progress there too and I just can't see it! I will give this possibility a decent chance even thought its pretty hard for me!

Well

somethings do make it better. So, hopefully things will take a turn for the better.
I really hope so! This time I have a feeling I know they will!

Cricket

Haven't posted anything on ICC T20 until now. Today India has completed their string of defeats! Have to say the team does not look all that ok with one another! Is Dhoni having trouble over the group already? Lets see!

Hmmm

The closer you get to a person the more you tend to take the positives for granted. You even seem to forget some of the fun times. But you never forget the negatives. The things that bother you. You push the person into a corner. This does not do any good. But until you completely accept those you can't help it too. And surely the person will return the favor. If its meant to be some relationships come out stronger out of such stress. Some collapse. I have had my share of both kinds of relationships. But with some relationships you know how its going to go. I think I have a fair idea of what will happen!
Lets see if I will be right!

You have solved it?

Or so you think. For one day you think you figured everything out. Its all set and it will be happy after that moment. You can't be more wrong. The higher the peak the riskier the next decisions you make are! Sometimes the reactions to what you say do not even make sense. It is as if you have been given too much! So they want to make some cutbacks!
I don't think I will ever figure out whats going on!

As I wait

here for what I want to hear its hard and difficult. Time seems to be at a stand still and sleep seems distant.
Anyway!

Sensationalism

Really Harish? You really believe what you write?
Sample this

In Friday's match, it was clear that Indian batsmen were found wanting against short deliveries from the West Indies fast bowlers, and England will surely adopt the same tactics. 

But the team did not lose any sleep on that and preferred to skip practice when the best route forward would have been a session or two for the opening batsmen against short deliveries.

You could be forgiven for asking whether Team India is taking the ICC World Twenty20 seriously.

Ok the honeymoon

is surely over for Dhoni! Here begins criticism!
Oh by the way the criticism for his batting is very justified. You don't play 23 balls and score 11 runs in T20. And this is not the first time his inability to rotate the strike has affected the final total. If India won everything would have been forgotten. Thats what has been happening for the last 6 months! Lets see if he has in him to turn it around again. Who knows given his good fortune he might!

Finally

The truth I have known for long has been stated explicitly today. For 4 hours I was in bliss. It was pretty awesome!
After 2 terrible days it could not have been better.
Lets see what happens in some days!

A difference

There are many differences between us. However, in one aspect that I thought we were similar the difference between us is so subtle it took me one full year to understand and a peaceful night walk to figure out!
Anyway!

First time

I saw a look today that showed me how words can break a person. I really did. I thought yesterday night I was in that state. No, I saw it today. And I tell you its very bad. I really hope I won't have to see that again in my life. I really hope. But something leaves me scared on that front.

Can you argue with

this?

When Kevin Pietersen plays the switch hit, it looks like a gorilla trying to do the Twist, but Dilshan turns it into ballet.

I dont!

A wonderful

piece on nationhood by Salil Tripathi here

Another

one of those frustrating days where you know what you are saying is perfectly right and yet you know the other person will not do anything about it. I mean for God's sake if you cannot figure out a solution you take help. Some people don't! Add to that the pain I have to go through because of that stupidity!

Anyway, you know all you can do is crib! Until the person sees it with his/her own eyes it wont help. I hope it happens soon!

Nice article

on providing long-term relief to the poor by Niranjan.

Is it true?

Are you responsible for everything that happens to you? I mean you are bothered by external issues. Some people believe this is a manifestation of your deep rooted insecurities coming out in the external form. So, ultimately the solution is within you. I don't really know if its true. May be thats a quest in itself!
Anyway!

Weekend

What a weekend!
Some real great fun times with bunch of guy friends. This after a really long time! I had great fun with the gumbal!
Then Federer finally won the French
And something even better also happened for me. It does not change things much but it does make somethings clearer. Well lets see how it all pans out.

Isn't he too good

It wasn't quite the butcher, baker and candlestick-maker, but it was
the repo man, the restaurateur and the insurance broker who embarrassed
England in an astonishing start to the World Twenty20.

Mike Atherton uses a nursery rhyme reference in describing the semi-pro Dutchmen's victory against England

Finally

It has happened. Federer wins French. Something I have been waiting for so many years! I am really pleased for him!

There

are days where you do not know how people are willing to forget the real problem to create a new problem and stay sad in that!
