NFL Fever




Only few days left before the 17th week of NFL gets completed and the play off games will be decided and we would exactly know the final 12 teams that would compete for Super Bowl this year.
I started watching NFL when New England Patriots and Brady were @ the Top. So I still favour Pats :). They do not have a great defensive unit this season but they are competing nevertheless. I wish them all Good Luck.

As Expected

As expected, Sachin was rested, India won the toss and elected to bowl first. First ball of the match Zak strikes, the pitch was not up to international standards. I watched the match till the 17th over and I have seen enough of a fourth day test match track and I couldn't watch it anymore. After I woke up, I wanted to check the score board and I see headlines Kotla faces sanctions for pitch fiasco and Match abandoned after 23 overs.
I thought SL reacted lil late, they should have complained about the pitch after a few nasty deliveries one that hit Dilshan and a few others which were awkwardly played. This is not the first time BCCI failed to test the quality of the pitch when international teams are playing and I would like to leave it to your imagination how they treat domestic matches. The amount of money that BCCI has and they spend towards cricket in India is not proportional would be an understatement. I am still not sure how could a country like India where Cricket is like a religion have a Board so strong and adamant that they would do anything else but improve cricket.
I have a lunch invitation from my wife's friend and I would like to conclude this topic here but would take it up an other day.
Have fun
Cheers

Ind Vs SL - Delayed Start

Start of the match delayed due to fog and a wet outfield. I think Sachin should be rested for this game, Ms Dhoni will come back and Dinesh Karthik should continue. I think the team that wins the toss will elect to bowl and take advantage of the morning weather and get some early wickets.

5 Days 2 2010

A Year passed by with out notice. One year and two months before I was getting ready for my marriage with excitement and looking forward to married life and now I have one year experience in married life. Wow, Time flies. 2009 was not an easy year in terms of finance, it's not just for me but for the whole world. In terms of news makers, MJ and TW topped the list. Michael Jackson regained all the fame after death and Tiger Woods lost all the fame with his infidelity stories.
Movies - I liked a few movies Avatar was awesome, 3 Idiots was great,  Magadheera was good, Aarya 2 was all right didn't live up to expectations.
Cricket - Indian team lost 4-2 @ home to a mediocre injury hit Australian Squad. I am really bored of watching India play SL, Bangladesh time and again.
Soccer - Excited to see the draws for Fifa 2010.
Today is saturday and I already am feeling that Monday is not too far, I have to go to work.
Anyways, there are tons of things to do but I am in mood to do anything but sleep under the covers.

Merry Xmas

Merry Christmas to all.

My wife is trying to prepare a cake and I am listening to this song from Tum Mile - Dil Ibaadat Kar Raha Hai Dhadkane Meri Sun while trying to post my first blog. I wasn't sure how to start my own blog but neva mind, I have finally decided to do it.

We watched Aamir's Movie 3 Idiots on Wednesday Dec 23 and kinda liked it and recommended to my sis and brother in law, they watched the movie yesterday and they also liked the movie.
I thought the movie had a good message in it and was very close to reality.
I am actually a big fan of Aamir's movies, so I kinda follow what he blogs. After watching the movie I posted the below comment on his site.
Aamir,
Me and My wife Hyderbadi's from Engineering Background watched the movie in NJ,USA yesterday night and we thought it was close to reality. My wife is a big fan of Madhavan. 3I(I Do It On my own Terms) was a feel good movie with all kinds of emotions, sentiments in it and I would say its a typical Raju Hirani Movie. Hats off to Raju for the characterization. Boman's Histrionics were mind blowing. Sharman,Maddy,Bebo ,chathur etc did their part well and like all ur prev movies, YOU lived Rancho's role. I was walking from NY Penn Station, all the scenes from 3I were still fresh in memory and were coming back to me. Good Movies like 3I always have impact on ppl even after we come out of the theater. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in 4 da movie and hope ALL IZZ WELL @Box Office. Great Work,Keep it UP 3I team and will wait for the Nexxxxxxxxxxxxt :) Have fun :)

As I wait for my cake to get ready , I would like to sign off for today and wait to repost something better soon.

Take care
Have a great day
