Getting old will be like this..

The man across the net

I only hope it is full of cheerful comes (who am i kidding.. Well I can wish)

Yeah right

See the quote from this piece

"When the foundations for lasting peace are in place, Israel will not be the last nation to welcome Palestinians to the U.N. We will be the first" Mr. Prosor (Israel's ambassador to the United Nations)

Words hardly do justice

Living in Denial

We went to England and Austrlia we got trashed 8-0. Now, we were suppossed to be destroy England on spin friendly surfaces. Well, unfortunately the English spin bowlers humuliated the Indian batting line up. Still we hear quotes such as this from Indian team members. We are still in a state of denial. This is quite ridiculous. Indian test team is on the wane and the first thing we need to do is accept this. Only then we can rebuild. For example, the opening partnership is not what it used to be. Sehwag and Gambhir are going through a very long lean patches. The  Tendulkar is going through a low. Kohli is still finding his feet. Yuvraj's return to test cricket is more an emotional decision than a rational one. I do think Rahane, and Tiwary need to come into the team. If we are failing we rather fail with the younger batsman rather than have the older generation and fail. Gambhir is still not too old, Sehwag might have 2-3 years [i am not 100% sure on this]. But we need to prepare ourselves for a major rehaul in batting. The bolwing well - we lost Umesh Yadav and it affected us. The 3 spinner policy is a waste and we need to have 2 seamers. Of course, the fact that we dont have a half-decent second seamer. So, buckle up and be ready for some bad years on the Indian Test scene.

Arvind Kejriwal and his manifesto

Completely agree. I still am optimistic. I hope kejriwal can find some good economists to improve his view of national economics and then AAP might not be a bad idea.

Well Deb

gets it right (again). Full piece here

This does not in any way mean that I do not support Kasab’s death sentence. If anyone ever deserved it, it was Ajmal Kasab. But 11 years after the Mumbai blasts, four years after 26/11, we are no closer to striking a decisive blow to the medieval fanatics and criminals who mastermninded the deaths of hundreds of innocent Indians. I mean no disrespect at all to the men and women who died in these attacks, and their families and loved ones. But rejoicing over any hanging is morbid. And rejoicing over this particular one also displays naïvety, something that we can hardly afford in our fight against terrorism, which is not going to end very soon.

I do not endorse the apporach of Thackeray. But he appealed to a marginalized section of the population.
