Long Time No See!

Well it's been a while since my last post. Almost two months actually.

There are lots of things happening recently the IPL, the F1 season and not to forget the rise in inflation. Petrol prices have gone up too that's a real downer for someone who's awaiting his new car :)
With inflation set to go into double digits there are some tough times ahead for India. This could very well decide the next government. 

The Rajasthan Royals won the first IPL. This was the only team I really liked as it had a lot of youngsters and always played as a team. It didn't rely on any 'One' player but everyone chipped in to get the team through.  The only other team which I thought had a chance was Kings XI.

I am again going to be bogged down by more work :( So it might be a while before I get to write again.

Don't Drink and Drive

A Touching Poem...... by Anonymous I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, So I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, The way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, Even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, As everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, So responsible and sweet.. I started to drive away, Mom, But as I pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me, Mom, And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, "The other guy is drunk," Mom, And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom.... I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.. There is blood all around me, Mom, And most of it is m

Alexander's Wishes

I am not sure if these are even relate to Alexander The Great. Nonetheless it's something which every person should know. There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wis

Silver Arrows and Scarlets are back!

Everyone remembers what happened to Aryton Senna at Imola. I wasn't hooked on to F1 then but still hear people saying it was one of the darkest days of F1. Formula 1 has missed Senna ever since. Within 2 weeks of the Hungarian GP we had the news of one of the young GP2 drivers succumbing to injuries sustained by a loose wheel of the race leader. At the Hungarian GP we had Felippe Massa who was hit by a spring which came loose of the Brawn GP car of Barichello. Massa needed to be operated on and looks like he might miss the remainder of the season. I really liked Massa for fighting back all the time and trying to overshadow Kimi who now looks hopeless in the Scarlet Car although he did manage 2nd on the podium. Apart from all this happening we had the Renault team who messed up big time for race leader Alonso. After all that had happened in qualifying how could they not put the bolt on right. And if the did know it wasn't right they should have told Alonso to either stay in the
