Ooo Haaa India

Ooo haa India, aaa ya India.....!!
After world cup started, most of the match was played was not interesting as it was played with minnows (like countries playing for the first time). Even there were many controversial statements that whether these minnows should be allowed to played in worldcup or not.

Few commented that this should be avoided as this reduces the interest in worldcup matches. Few supported that we should give them chance so that they could gain the confident(like Kenya which came until semifinal in last world cup). Until yesterday, results of the all matches favoured Senior Team. Almost all cases, senior teams slaughtered the minnows team with above 300 plus.

Like every Indian, I was also excited to see the first match of India against Bangladesh. I was very confident that we will have a convincing victory. Once Sehwag fell in single digit as usual, I thought that he needs some rest now and needs to work on basics.The first fifteen overs really shook the Indian top order which was really considered as Great line-up.I too waited for the bowling change as considered that may be after fifteen overs will change. But then i concluded that our batting is really struggling against the Bangladesh bowling attack. Bangladesh Team's fielding was excellent and boundaries were dried up for India.After Yuvraj had gone, wickets fell very rapidly. India faced worse defeat in world cup history. I really dunno what was in mind of our cricket team before playing the match. Is it because of Over-confidence ? Over hype to Indian team by media ? Very high expectation cause the pressure to all team members ?. Lost is lost always, Is there anyway that India could sustain its position in Super 8's ? Does Indian team will take responsible to come into Super 8's ? Does India team repeat the same which happened in previous world cup (9 win after first match defeat )?

Yesterday, PAK bid farewell from world cup after its humiliating defeat.India needs to have this in the mind. Only way is to excel in every part of the game. Hope India team comes out of this trauma of defeat. Let's see on Friday ....!!

Internet mail friend

Although you are a friend of mine
and mails we exchange,
I would' t know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
we share ideals and special dreams,
and still we do not speak.

I picture what i think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.

So for this friendship we possess
we owe this mail a debt
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.


Thanks to Pooja for this Fwd mail. :-)

DVD logo in Buses

This time when i went to TN, I noticed that there are "DVD logo" and captions like "Digital Theatre", "Digital surround", "Dolby stereo".

:-)

Having experience in working in DVD, I could know the pain behind getting the DVD Forum certified DVD logo (passing set of test disk), getting DTS & Dolby certification.

I dunno the reason or inspiration behind printing such logos and captions. It might be reason that the buses are equipped with DVD players.

This could be seen in private and also government buses. anyway its fun to see these kinda stuffs.

DVD certified buses. :-)

Recently, I went a temple in Thirumangalam (near madurai), I heard this is "Kalumaram" (i dunno what is its English translation). In olden days, when they have yearly once pooja in the temple, they used to give sacrifice the goat or chicken by piercing it from top edge (which is very sharp). This is considered to be regular ritual in olden days. but now a days, its not used and just standing as Antique.

Wedding Invitation - different and nice one

A Spring Wedding Verse

From the city of chennai, a guy of fiesty & fair,
Has found a girl of his choice after a tour,
Enjoying the chilled breeze of cauvery
In the temple town, Trichy..!!

Yeah, By distance we can be far apart !
But we decided that we cannot depart!
And born unknown to each other
We desired to bond together!

Hence, we both from the farer miles
Got engaged finally with million smiles

In the drizzles of december dews

Ofcourse.. after much lingered longing hours!

And now we are about to hold each other's hand

By exchanging the merry dew filled garlands!

Tons of thanks to our Dad's and Mom's

For making both us share the wedding charms!

Best wishes to my friend kalai for happy married life. Gr8 thinking..!!
