Hello There

It has been a month since my last post. What a busy, crazy month it has been from a work standpoint. If I was Dhoni, I would have taken a break from work (yes, it still rankles that he decided to skip a test series...)!

So what has happened in the past month in the sporting world.

Saina Nehwal won a second grand prix - congrats to her again.

Vijender was on the ramp somewhere.

Bindra has not been seen much in the ad world, I wonder why?

Federer won the US open through the only way it seemed possible this year - someone else beating Nadal.

Dhoni is supposed to have joined college: Not sure if he has attended any classes. Will all the guards also sit in the class from him to protect him from overzealous female classmates - has he given a new problem to his security staff :) Since he is already seems street savvy, does he need this? And how is he going to attend any classes at all (even a few) or study or give exams in his hectic schedule? However it may inspire some people to continue their education, so may be worthwhile nevertheless.


Saurav: Has been dropped from the rest of India team, but he refuses to retire. If there was a prize for determination/never-say-die attitude, I am sure he will win.

SRT: Is he fit or is he not fit? Does he know the answer, do the selectors know? What are they going to do to find out if he is match fit before re-inducting him...? Nothing?

Saw a short ad somewhere that Harbhajan, Sreesanth, Kambli, Pathan, Dinesh Karthik, and Nikhil Chopra are supposed to be a reality dance show starting soon. Now I am thinking of subscribing to that channel just to watch this. I think though this will provide some fodder for sledging by opponents :)

Hopefully, I will be able to start catching up on blogs again and posting more regularly now.

Yes, pl do post regularly :) (i am surprised at me telling this ;))

Excellent results from Saina Nehwal. Even with such an excellent result, his coach,Gopichand is struggling with the government from taking his land back. For now, the Highcourt has stayed the order. Hope Gopichand wins in this battle. Link

And i think Bindra is busy in reforming the Shooting Associationg by issuing statements in the media :)

btw, did you get to watch F1?
Quite a surprising result in Monza. (i always wondered why Toro Rosso-Ferrari (formerly Minardi) still compete.guess, participating SPIRIT might have kept them in non-thinking state :))

welcome back...

i doubt if SG's case can be defined as determination or denial...

and i don't know also...till what point we can afford to have SRT's fragile body...

a fan: thanks :) Saw the Gopichand interview - wonder what is going on.

F1 - have been able to catch only some portions. Looks like either Massa/Hamilton will win it this year?

@sp:

denial is a better word for Ganguly :)

As far as Sachin goes, it is the selectors who should force him to play 2 months of domestic cricket to prove his fitness... For him, the mind may be willing but the body is not.

Ah! Nice to see you blogging again.

Btw, your note on SRT " What are they going to do to find out if he is match fit before re-inducting him...? Nothing?" made me chuckle. Thank you for that!

Watched the ad for "Ek Kiladi Ek Haseena" eh? Yeah, I thought that was ridiculous. The Aussies can hire us for sledging consultation. ;)

Cheers!

@vmm: sledging consultants we shall be - I wish they had managed to rope in an aussie or two as well :)
