Well I could not update last week but the news is that RS did not make it ... they had a tremendous comeback to catch up with TB Rays (sounds diseased :D) to tie it 3-3 but lost the last game to allow Tampa Bay Rays to go into the world series. Well if it is of any consolation, TB Rays lost to the Phillies in the World Series finals. So bottom line was that there was no Boston .. no LA .. in the MLB finals (that would have been some match-up for me as a supporter
This past 2 weeks have been very happening … I officially got work … Bombay a.k.a. Mumbai went to the dumps with riots following arrest of a local political honcho. It was a pity to see public transport and property damaged and burnt .. with the perpetrators not realizing that it was public tax money being wasted. I failed to understand how any of the actions that took place helped the people of Maharashtra … Politics has this dirty way of ridiculing the common man, time and again by showing its ugly a** & face frequently.
Diwali was calm n tumultuous (in the right sense) for me, at home with family. Managed to gorge in a lot of sweets and gain some weight :D … and then back to the grind …
And then, yesterday, some more blasts, in Assam this time … an earthquake in Pakistan … so many deaths … as if god is orchestrating a population reduction agenda… gets one thinking where the world is heading and what would be there for our generation and the future generations to come.
And the biggie is the recession slowly descending over the world … US being the worst hit and the rest of the world following suit … the US dream and the H1B bubble seems to be a very bad idea now all of a sudden. I hope people think 10 times before taking any rash steps … cause the worries that it can bring will affect everyone connected to them … it is sometimes a good thing to listen to others in addition to yourself and take any advice positively … n’est ce pas? (Is it not in French)
Hope things change for the better soon world over. (Do I sound like AB Sr. here hehehehehe)

One more for the RS??? Lets See ...
Its October 2008 ... 19th day to be precise ... the year has gone by and a lot of changes have occured ... I have moved on to a new job ... a new city ... well come to think abt it ... i now work in a bigger company ... which is in a bigger city .... and a high salary (I cant call it big :D) ...
So yeah .. .things have changed .. but then again seems like nothing has ...
Oh! ... one more big thing .. we have a BIG recession which is hitting people globally in places where it hurts a lot ... !!! lost jobs .. rising prices ... growing stress .... so that kind of explains my statement earlier that seem like nothing has changed ... :-)
People still discuss cricket and politics while travellling to work ... it now is T20 instead of test cricket .. but the bat n ball are the same ... Last year around this time I was in the US and there was this talk of will the Red Sox be able to win the World Series .. well they did .. and guess what this year also they are in with a chance ... 3-3 in the ALCS against Tampa Bay Rays ... tomorrow morning is the game 7 ... lets see if they can win and go on ahead like last year ... hmmm that brings a lot of memories with it ...
Ah well .. I am just a blabbering and clattering away on my dads laptop ... oh so badly miss having one of my own ... probably that shd be the next thing i buy .. and soon .. else m gonna go crazy ... coz my new work place doesnt allow me to chat or surf the net or see videos on utube or any of those timepass stuff that we could manage to sneak in .. between our work @ PTG ...
well I have said a number of times and thought even more that i will make this clattering a regular part of my daily schedule .. but have failed to do so ... till now .. (sounds like some new year resolution ... but nope ... just that it gives me a nice feeling typing my thoughts ... :-] )
Hope to do it this time .. !!! lets see :P
will update later this week on how things work out for the Red Sox ... Go RED SOX !!!
