… Twenty20 Critics…

Writing this blog to showcase some of the opinions/views that were shared during the whole 20-20 World cup.

* “South Africa and Australia are the favorites and we expect them to fight the crucial finals” – The Commentators just before the onset of the matches. However, the sub-continent nations came off in flying colors and succeeded in creating a fear amongst the ’so-called’ bullies of Cricket!

* “Australia will win the the match” – Ravi Shastri’s views on CrickInfo for the crucial India-Australia Semis. However, India showed the talent through their willows and some marvelous tight-lined bowling attack and shut the mouths of the critics! Hats off to India for thrashing SA, Aussies out of the tournament and then as icing on the cake, bringing back the World Cup defeating Pakis!

On the lighter side of the world cup victory, these phrases have been circulating on the mails!

* Abdul Kalam’s vision and dream has come true. “India will become a super power by/in ‘20-20′”

* “Misbah thought he hit the ball to a place where no one was present, what he didn’t know is that there is a MALLU in every corner of the world!!”

Well, that was it! Please feel free to add any such comments/views which you feel is worth mentioning.

Also, for more exclusive story of the age-old Indo-Pak rivalry on the Cricket ground, do go through this blog.

…Hutch (now ‘Vodafone’) World Calling Card — Sucks!…

Utilizing my own blog to share the experience of using the Hutch World Calling card! To give the context, I am put up at BTM I Stage, Bangalore. And I use the above mentioned card for STD and ISD calls! Well the experience is pretty bad, sadly!

* Network problem is what I was left stunned with! On using the Calling card its like only after 4-5 attempts, I get connected to the number. And this is not the case with calling directly! I came upon this observation when I tried calling in directly, immediately after unsuccessful attempt through the Calling card. Thrice I experimented with it!

* Secondly a minor point, but being of great value in terms of customer service and satisfaction, I found the toll free numbers getting changed and the new toll (won’t term them as ‘free’) numbers getting charged! Well, it does leave the customer with a sense of dissatisfaction in their minds.

…India Vs. Australia, 20-20 World Cup Semis…

nota bene: I am writing this to show-case the humorous side of feelings associated with the great game called ‘Cricket’. Please, ‘take light’ and enjoy!

A funny incident! Strange but true! A superstitious act! These are the words I would like to express about an act of us (Me and my roomies, viz. Chimti, Bhatya and Bhagwaan). We peed in turn so that India win! Yes……. You are reading it right!

May sound funny and unimaginable but these are some moments in life which would always be worth remembering. Its started off with a bottle of coke! All of us having filled our tummies with so much of fluid, one of us started off with pressure mounting both on the field and in the stomach. And when he was back, there it was! The first Australian wicket.. Gilchrist clean bowled! We rejoiced and from then started our visits to the bathroom turn by turn! Each visit earning India a wicket. Bhagwan delayed his turn and we saw that over very expensive without a wicket. And he was grandly showered with all the possible offensive words available. Then on we made a point that the trick is working a bit. Coke gave way to water gradually for our visits! Also, one more point worth mentioning is that it took two to clean bowl Hayden which was ‘the’ turning point of the match!

Well, a funny incident worth mentioning and remembering! Well, India… Lots in our store for many more matches to win! Come on, Go get the world cup first!

…Why with Me?…

Yes! That’s the question most of us ask God (or whosoever) in our daily lives whenever any unwanted/unimaginable incident happens with us! And that’s what my gesture was when I learnt that the cost of the laptop I had bought a month back (HP dv2500t) for $1234 has been slashed by around $200!!

Well, not that I haven’t seen such a thing happen with others, but experiencing it sucks for sure! And I am left, wonder-struck, only with the thought “God, why with me?”!
