Anyway since I am up I am going to start my thanksgiving prep early – not the cooking part which I have been forbidden from doing but everything else like getting the house ready to host!

I am off work today so naturally I woke up at 5 for no pressing reason 😡

Man that Modi consoling Indian players in dressing room was so much cringe. Look, I have no problem when head of the country actively wants to honor sportsmen, and honestly should, but jesus man can’t you leave them alone for like a night? They obviously have lost after being so dominant team but the PM can’t help inserting himself to get some eyeballs out of it as some father figure. What a prick. Like jee, if you want, just host them at your house in a few days; now my whatsapp is going to blow up on how Modi consoled a grieving country. cringe!

I asked the kid how she found *Kaikeyi* as a character and she goes SMART! I would do the same if I was her. It was not what I was expecting to hear, but also I am glad we didnt pre-feed her with information about how that character is more often than not portrayed as one of the antagonists of the mythology.

Last night I bought mantel mount coz we want to mount our tv on fireplace. Besides the point that I already know it’s not the best place but that’s what we have to deal with, the guy I bought it from turned out to be an interesting hyper sales-y guy who was the local dealer for the product. He actually came home to deliver but decided to stop by inside anyway and then went on to give a long lecture about how everything that could go wrong will if we don’t hire his company to do the install. Then he gave me a lecture on networking and wifi and how not having a Ethernet jack inside the house is such a big mistake! He tried to convince me I absolutely needed to have iin built speakers and shit. After nearly 30 mins he left much to my relief. Today I showed the mantle mount to our contractors who are finishing up kitchen and they go _oh yeah we install these all the time no biggie_. And as far as wifi goes well, too bad, I have no need for a network cable as long as my wifi provides enough speeds to power all my devices!

After almost an year of owning the membership I did my first major Costco purchase today and I finally feel proud of the investment I made.

Much is being said about latest poll showing Biden losing support amongst 18-35 group of his handling of Israel Palestine war about how it’s not realistic. Actually it very well is – democrats need to shut up and take notice. I am over 40 and I fucking hate how Biden is essentially supporting a terrorist government. Had it not been for Trump or lunatics on other side he would lost my support too for his handling!

I honestly have run out of empathy for this Indian team now. This Indian team has been a powerhouse team for better part of last decade, but time after time India has managed to choke at the last hurdle. At this point this is not a one event thing, but a repeated pattern of doing great only to crash in the one final game that matters. Sure great show and all, but you have to ask questions what’s ailing this team. A high caliber team like this cannot be losing one championship after another like this regularly. It’s just disappointing, but honestly not feeling the empathy for this Indian team right now.

This is not even the best Australian side there is when compared to absolute powerhouse India is, but their mental game when it really matters is just way way above anyone else. You never underestimate Australia. Unless there is a collapse from here on, congrats Australia on a well deserved yet another World Cup.

I think there’s a problem affecting Indian side that they just don’t seem to have mental game to pull through high pressure final games. They truly have become the new chokers in world cricket where they do so well in buildup only to fail in final.
