A friend pinged me to ask why I am awake at so late at night. To be honest, its a question my parents ask me & my brother all the time(although they don't remind me the time by saying "its bloody 1!"). Anyway, I replied that I was watching the 5th West Indies-England test(could've given a saner-looking excuse, but u know-"Honesty is the best policy"). And well, the reply shot back-"Now i know how jobless you are!"
Yeah i know, the story's boring. But I thought about it, put myself in the other person's shoes, and realized how totally weird it must've sounded. So to prevent such shocks to my other friends who don't already know, I open this post by saying I spend more than half my time on TV watching cricket. In fact, here are some things about me & cricket:
1. I spend more time on Cricinfo at office than I spend coding(my "core job", as they call it here :P)
2. I spend more than half my time on TV watching cricket.(as stated above)
3. Who knows which South-African has scored the maximum no. of runs against Australia in Tests? I look at stuff like that.
4. When I visit my relatives, a cricket bat & ball are a prerequisite for them to have the privilege of my presence.
5. I am not known for maintaining or keeping old stuff. But guess what I managed to preserve for 14 yrs. My cricket bat from 7th standard.
What did u ask? Do I love cricket? Naah! I just live cricket :)
Moving on, ever heard of this book called "Beyond Code"? Well look at the name, and guess whose manager has asked him to read it. And, this will slay you, I've been asked to give a presentation at office, to three parties, from 3 different countries, about some release that I was part of(apparently). At moments like this, I really wonder if it was worth being born a human. A dung beetle would've been better.
My last post was not well-received by critics. In fact, a renowned critique has advised me to take rest. Yeah ok, he's not renowned or anything. But I don't think I can disagree. I read it again, and it looks such a ramble! And, ahem, so does this one actually. So I won't make this worse. Time to go people.
Cheers!
P.S.-SA are 244/2, chasing 546 to win against Australia, with the last day remaning. Do watch it ;)

Okk.. I'll keep this short n sweet..
1. Laws of sanity prohibit any mortal from staying awake at 1 in the morning to watch.. wts that silly game?.. yeah.. CRICKET !
2. You share the same "core job" of coding with at least a few lakhs in this country. But they spend their time orkutting. If you do anything different, you're better !!
3. Pretty presumptuous to believe that your relatives are.. ahem.. "privileged" by your presence.. realtiy check, bro dear ! :P
4. I agree with your renowned critique... seems almost as smart as me :D
If that's the criteria, try bungee jumping...veryy few people in "this country" do that!
And yes, I suggest you take off your photo from your profile...the "silly game" has quite a few followers, and some are dangerous lunatics.
