India Rising

India and Australia had one of the best series in recent times. It was unlike the last series in India, where Aus were dominant. Here India played to their potential in the last 3 matches, and if the Sydney test was drawn, it would have been 1-1, which was a fair result, given the performance of the two sides.

I resolved to work from 9-5, but ended up working 5-9.

The US political race has finally entered its last round, but there is still a year to go. doze.. zzzzzzzzzz!!!!I hope Obama gets the nomination and the presidency.

I bought a new home in Ottawa. One of Jinu’s dreams is being fulfilled. We will be shifting in June 2008. I will post snaps of its evolution as and when I get it.

I saw Taare Zameen Par, one of the best movies that I have seen. The movies talks about dyslexia, and parent’s(indian parents) reaction to it, and how children are affected by it. It was Aamir’s debut as a director, and I am mighty impressed with what he had to offer, considering the history of how he came about directing it. It was truly an overwhelming experience, and I have to say that I was overwhelmed by the climax and… I bawled!!!

Bheja Fry!!! Hilarious!!!! Mad cap, and effective comedy.

Shankar and Rajini are going to collaborate again on another project called Robot.

Rajini is going to come in an animated movie – Sultan. This is conceived and directed by her daughter, Soundarya.

I was told about Dave Barry’s columns, and man that guy is good. Reminds me of Chandler sometimes, with his sarcasm and funny lines.

We did some good demos, and hope to get new clients. 2008 is going to be our year, like every other year. Yoohoo!!!

From Ottawa, I wish everyone a Happy New Year

Gavin gives a lesson on how to take on the Aussies: Interesting read. Makes sense.

I’ve been reading your comments in the press after the Twenty20 World Cup win and till the halfway stage of the Future Cup, and I am sorry to say you’ve gotten it all wrong.

And this is placing pressure on your game, at a time when you need consistency of performance, and a galvanized attitude, to be successful against Australia.

Three things have been common to your opening matches: open aggressiveness, verbal sledging, and a belief that you are standing up to Australia.

What you need to understand is that these three things are not about physical actions, but about a mental attitude.

I love the aussie attitude. Even though they come across as arrogant and dominating, I feel that they have every right to do so given their display over the last 10 years or so. They have dominated EVERY single cricket side, and have not let anyone come close to them. Blips like the Ashes defeat in 2005 or the Hadley-Chappell defeat earlier this year, were minor blips from which they have come back strongly and annihilated their opposition. Whenever they have lost, they have fought till the very end. They have never given up on any of the occasions.

In the current series against India, they dominated the first 3 matches, and the Indians
