It took india the magic 'S' factor to finally register a win in the series. So for all those who say that sachin doesnt win matches for india, THIS is a perfect answer. He walks in - just back from injury on a demon of a pitch and goes out and makes quick runs. More than the actual runs against his name on the scoreboard, it was the positive attitude which rubbed off - on laxman andJaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1098390376049952292004-10-21T16:18:00.000-04:002004-10-21T16:26:16.050-04:00Male or Female?

All that i can see on any major indian news portals are stories about the nafisa joseph suicide. Its really a very sad thing to happen and that too coming from a beautiful, intelligent, headstrong, career oriented woman. Someone who excelled in everything she tried, was she so weak to give it all up in that one moment?

Thursday nights, usually not very happening, partly cause they happen to be my cooking turn nights and partly cause everyone does have to go to work on fridays.
Sapna being in town usually is reason enough to go out and have fun. It also gave me reason to skip my cooking turn and go out with the guys :).

I dont really want to write too much on cricket, but sadly that happens to be on my mind more often than not :)
With rahul dravid not playing in the last 2 crucial matches for india, i am just beginning to wonder, whether he really is the Mr.Dependable of indian cricket ? Maybe he is - i dont doubt his abilities as a class batsman, and that he delivers quite often for Jaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1090858795994584872004-07-26T11:30:00.000-04:002004-07-26T12:19:55.993-04:00Phir bhi dil hai hindustani!

Once upon a time... In a village, there came a lion & started troubling villagers. Being frustrated because of the lion, people decide to take some action. They decide that after 6:00 o'clock in the evening everybody will return home and lock the doors from inside. The trick works, lion comes and finds nothing. Second day also it comes and sees the same thing everywhere!

with asia cup round the corner, sachin is entering his 16th season in International cricket, that would mean that he has actually spent more than half his life donning the indian blue colours *phew*. That also means that i have spent those many years following his fortunes and seeing all his matches...literally.

A Patel family in gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother arrived from the US. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top, which read:

If there is ever any weekend that should be spent in DC, it is the july 4th weekend, simply cause it is the capital of the US and has one of the best display of fireworks. Even though i have been living in DC for 2 years, i havent had a chance to see the fireworks and the live band in the mall on july 4th.

Most of us play card games. One of the best means of killing time, some games can get really really interesting. Some of the games i indulge in are Kalli tirri, judgement, teen do paanch, rammi, Mendi coat,mongoose, badam satti...and the list just goes on. What makes card games even more exciting is that every player has his own version of the rules that should be applied.

Not too long ago, Sachin Tendulkar was at his Apollo Bunder eatery discussing work and other official matters with photographer Atul Kasbekar.

Not a big fan of Tarantino's films, i had to change my mind once i saw Kill Bill vol 1, with action sequences right out of a PS2 game this flick was one of the better action movies of recent times. With amazing background scores and unbelievable and at times illogical action scenes, this was one fantasy movie.

This weekend was spent in doing "majdoorgiri" - literally. A very close friend moved to a new appartment, so the whole gang volunteered to be part of the big shift.
There were a few problems tho, the old house and the new one were about 40 miles away from each other, both the places were about 200 miles from our house, and people were coming from different places - soJaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1077147476345171022004-02-18T18:37:00.000-05:002004-02-18T18:41:13.623-05:00A really long break that !!
I have been away from bloggin for a while now. 65 days to be precise. Fall semester finals, then some friends come over, then the 5 week long india trip. Lots of stuff that kept me.
Back to school now, had a lot of catching up to do. And now starts the search for the most coveted H1-B job. What with the numbers falling down, it will be an uphill task getting one.

He has always had this magic in his voice that makes normal songs sound good. Right from his Khiladi days to date, he has given us some classic hindi songs.
A good example of his talent can be seen from the song "Tum Dil ki Dhadkan main" from Dhadkan, this song is sung by both Abhijeeth and Kumar sanu.

She descended a bit more and shouted,"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

It really beats me - how can ppl have their preferences on the kind of beverage that charges them, keeps them going.
Me - am one of those ppl too. I am addicted big time to "chai". I have to down atleast 4/5 cups of tea a day. Be it anytime of the day (or night), if someone offers me tea, i cannot-not say no to it. My perfect day has to start of with a nice hot cup of tea Jaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1058635434918155932003-07-19T13:23:00.000-04:002003-07-19T13:24:19.200-04:00Nice article this .

While the India - Pak controversy still rages on, I have crossed the 1000 hit mark !! (not a big thing, but feels nice to know :))
Thanks to all the junta who visit my site, keep the comments flowing friends. Hope to keep this modest effort of mine going for some time.

Inspite of the strained relations between us and our neighbours, we have always been on the lookout for peace. We do have the cushion of having won each war that has been fought till date, and winning them convincingly at that.
Every now and then, we put our foot forward and try and make truce with them, but things dont work out. How many of us would see this Jaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1058238833836467942003-07-14T23:13:00.000-04:002003-07-14T23:13:53.886-04:00Drive !!
Every now and then- all of us need that push,that drive to keep going. When i came here to the US about a year ago, (frankly) I was disillusioned, a little lost.
I have a habit of turning to God whenever i have any questions in mind, whenever i need inspiration, need that push !!. Atul - my best buddy and now my roomie gave me his "Weapon" to counter my doubts -- the "GAYATRI MANTRA".

No - am not talking bout the popular sitcom on TV. I am talking bout friends in real life. Friends at work, in school, online - how important are they??
I once heard, "relatives" are default, but you choose ur "friends". For me- friends are life !!. I have a few really really good friends with whom i keep in touch.

This weekend, i had been to charlotte,NC. Mangesh (one of my best buddies is doing his MS in Comp Science there). When i left for NC, i thought i would just go, meet him and come back. This trip was far from that. Has to go down as one of the best outdoor trips i have ever had. We went camping, trekking and white water rafting in the Nantahala river,Smokey mountains.

Its a small place - Akron, OH. About 360 miles from DC, its the place where sapna stays. Keeping up with the tradition of trying to meet up atleast once in every 2 or 3 weeks, we (me, atul ,avi and manish) decided to drive down to Akron to spend the weekend with Sapna and her friends. Mandar-another common friend (who was with us in undergrad) joined us from Cincinatti.

This word has a lot of importance in my life - or for that matter for most of us. So much so that every time i have a hearty laugh i end up with tears in my eyes.
Talking of humor i read this series of elephant jokes somewhere and believe me i laughed long and hard, not cause they were humorous but cause they were downright silly.

An avid cricket fan, really loved this small article on rediff . It talks bout "The Moment" in Indian cricket (offcourse apart from 24th april 1973).
You might want to check out 20 Years On...Celebrating India's 1983 World Cup triumph .
Have we lost the magic? How close can one get to the world cup than we did this time !!

It happens to be one of the better movies made in bollywood in recent times. A story of 3 friends, who inspite of being really close happen to differ at some stage in life. The three being Aamir Khan (Aakash),Akshaye khanna(Sid) and Saif Ali khan(Sameer).
My personal views bout the characters (not the actors) :

Always wondered if long distance relationships work out or not. Never been involved in one myself, i wonder how it must feel like to know that the person you love and care for..is not actually with you. All u can do is an occasional phone call or the regular email or chat.
Can u actually feel for a person who is miles away. Can you be romantically involved with Jaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1054617007063217552003-06-03T01:10:00.000-04:002003-06-03T01:10:07.103-04:00The eternal sachin fan !!
Born in mumbai, India and brought up in a locality where cricket was followed like religion, it was no surprise that i got hooked on to cricket in a big way. In bombay, being born in a middle class family, you dont really have many options when it comes to following or playing sports. Like here, in the US anyone can just pick up a basketball, pick up a trash can and Jaideephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848952107525774141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411991.post-1053434714358911892003-05-20T08:45:00.000-04:002003-05-22T14:10:06.533-04:00Here i am ...sitting at the help desk of the wellness center in my univ, its like 6 30 am (thats early). I just got introduced to the world of bloggers by Sapna (who happens to be a really close friend of mine).
Instincts say...my first post should invlove sachin tendulkar (dont blame me, i have spend most of my life in mumbai..following his fortunes), but for once..that can wait.
