  • Hayden calls India third world after test series. What a whiny freaking loser; couldnt perform with the bat, hence blame others. Racist pig! #
  • Lindblad expedition cruises look incredibly awesome, but freaking expensive! Want to do the galapagos-peru cruise next year, but very $$$. #
  • Windows Live. Relaunched Again. How many times are they going to relaunch this crap again? Don’t they just give up! #
  • The most lovely day of my work week is here. Thursday. #

  • So New York Times has used 96pt header only thrice before Obama win. Who cares, really, about such crap? Big deal! #
  • MMS = Maha Moorkh Singh. Yes, our lovely PM. Sometimes rediff commentators can come up with such crackers! Maha Moorkh Singh – ROFL! #
  • @patrix Not sure, but if I remember correctly was it Indya.com – I still remember that monstrous front page. #
  • @patrix I love trivia myself (& the 96-pter), its just the amnt of importance associated with it gets me. Web seems to have gone wild on it. #
  • Crude below $60. Does that mean Airlines will cut their fare? How is it they never cut the fare when crude $ fall ? #
  • LOL @ Google’s Halloween robots.txt file: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-10-31-n76.html #
  • I must be in last century – what’s the scoop on Sonal Shah and why is she controversial? #

  • Not understanding the “desi” hype about Obama. How exactly is he making your life richer? Or for that matter better? #
  • Come on India, dont let this go the whole day. I got a work day tomorrow! #
  • Bhajji just gives me the feeling that he doesnt play with his heart anymore #
  • I dont like what I see of Bhajji this last day of play. Dont ask me why! #
  • There doesnt seem to be any energy in Indian team. Hello, Australia IS capable of winning this game right now!! Do something. #
  • Terrible bowling and field settings by Dhoni; absolute lack of any enthu by Indian bowlers. From here on if they lose, they deserve it. #
  • 2 quick wickets. Is there a game on now? #
  • Dhoni’s gesture towards Ganguly, very very appreciable #
  • That’s it. Dada gone. A golden light of cricket has gone 🙁 – Feeling very emotional and sad right now. My fav player takes a bow today 🙁 #
  • Ganguly auto biography will be something to watch out for. #
  • Over and out. Dada, I’ll always miss you. #
  • Is wordpress on decline? I have not come across splendid theme designs in a while now. Or is it just over saturated now? #
  • @patrix LOL. Oh dear, Obama already hates non citizens eh hehe. #
  • Dada gone, will Yuvraaj finally make it to the team as a permanent test player? #
  • @patrix Try Arrested Development, Friday Night Lights or Sopranos. #
  • I’m sorry I think Vincent Cerf as “Chief Internet Evangelist” seems to have the most boring job in the world @ google right now! #

  • Man Mohini absolutely rocks #
  • Rumors are that Obama wants Bill Clinton as envoy on Kashmir? WTF? Please, more pressing issues plague this country more than anywhere else. #
  • I’ve rarely passed 10 mins in a FPS game. FPS games just bore the crap out of me! #
  • Chandrayan enters lunar orbit. ISRO is role model on low cost space exploration. #
  • Day 4 Test Match. Its evenly “poised” as our commentators would like to suggest; Bowlers are not getting “purchase” of the wicket. #
  • Falafels, Hummus, Cucumber Salad and Chicken wings for dinner. All home made. Yummy. #
  • That’s it for Ganguly. I feel sad right now to see him go. What a player. My favorite easily. #
  • India absolutely seems to have mastered the art of snatching defeats from wins!! God help this test match! #
  • Aleem Dar seems to declare the over, over, but decides not to and gives away 5 runs in overthrow. No wonder Ponting was furious. Delightful. #
  • What a bizarre third session of play Australia has played. Very weird. #
  • Ponting proved all those theories about Australians playing for team rather than individuals, as complete bull shit. Hypocrites. #

  • Ishant Sharma bowled a beauty to get rid of Clarke. Just wist rest of proceedings were as interesting in this test match! #

  • Bad leaders are elected by good people who dont vote. So those who can, please, vote! #
  • I wonder how many desi citizens take the elections seriously out here? Would be interesting to see some stats on desis voting. #
  • Who do Obama and Mc Cain vote for? Themselves? Certainly not each other I guess… #
  • Gilchrist’s autobiography quickly reads like: Australians are the best, every one else is either lazy, non sportive and cheating. Idiot. #
