This Sri Lankan innings has gotten off to a horrendous start. Please India, I really hope this is not peak coz this Indian team is right now unplayable!

This is so sad but also this is one reason why I keep telling all my cousins if they want to come study in USA pick coastal blue states and avoid anything in middle or south like a plague. Especially the middle.

If Kohli stops thinking about his records he would probably have more centuries. You could make out when his pace changed in this innings where he really started to think about the 49th and wankhade. Like Jesus just go for it and he would have done it. Yet another century missed by Kohli when he should have gotten it.

Asked for expedited shipping on Etsy. Still take 2+ weeks and not delivered. Why do I waste my time on Etsy instead of adjusting and going with good enough on Amazon?

I don’t get this democracy is on ballot in ’24. Heck yeah. Its on ballot every election from now on, not just ’24. Given the normal 8 year cyclical nature of US presidency in recent decades its pretty much guaranteed that if Biden wins ’24, we will have a republican president in ’28. If ’24 is all about ensuring Trump can’t win, well someone worse than him will surely be nominated in ’28 and win. To really *save* democracy, democrats need to win ’24, ’28, ’32 at a minimum along with at least one of the houses constantly. I don’t see that happening sadly. I guess we can take it one election at a time….

If you had told me at the beginning of the World Cup South Africa would be the team to watch out for I would have been like uh what? They still play cricket? They are frigging dominating the World Cup along with India. I would be so thrilled if South Africa or New Zealand wins the World Cup this time.

I think I can get behind *so elegant so beautiful just looking like a wow* bandwagon.

This is truly [scary](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kasrajh_adobephotoshop-generativefill-adobefirefly-activity-7122793907209314304-hNzC?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop). On one hand I am like wow so cool, I might not even need to carry my camera/phone anywhere at all if I can just generate this on the fly, and on the other hand where does reality end and new one begins? We are in for an interesting time where we have no idea what we are seeing is real anymore or not.

Looking at pictures my brother is sending me feels like his community in Bangalore is celebrating Halloween way more bigger and grand than our community here. Frankly I often feel like Halloween is sorta dying out here in the burbs but trust India to take something from somewhere else and make it their own (I love it btw!).

At this point I am rooting for Afghanistan to be in the semis. What an exemplary show of cricket by them, and who would’ve thought they along with Netherlands would be the teams to watch for! Afghanistan in particular has been such a revelation. Big IPL contracts incoming guaranteed for their players next year.
