Its been couple of days since I welcomed Scarlett. Sadly Scarlett is not in right mood. You see, It has been raining ever since and the weather is gloomy. No. stop it. We are not going to make a those days joke. We are mature now. Anyways, I like rain and I like getting drenched in rain (No, I dont sing and dance.. ). But there is something in this Charlotte rain that makes you very lazy. Only time you get up from the bed is either to fill yourself or empty. Its cold outside, gloomy and cold and well.. just gloomy and cold... Going to office seems such a horrendous task in such a weather. Most people try woking from home. Well, thats even worse. Its ok if you have work. Else, its too boring. You do not have anyone to talk to.
Whole week you wait for these two days. And when it actually arrives, you do not do anything. Now a days at least we have some task.. Of searching couple of cars. Me and my roommate are searching for cars. (Any help is appreciated.) From past few weeks we have been searching for a car and we still have not found the right one. Finding my life partner was easier than this (No offense meant sweetheart..). Usually on Sunday evenings you start getting frustrated at the fact that you have not done anything and decide that next weekend will be different. I have taken that decision more than 40 times myself.
Why don't I go and get a life you say? Good question. I have forgotten what it means to go out with friends. We had a pretty good group once upon a time. We had lot of fun trips. Now everyone has his own bag of burdens to carry. So thats that. May be its just that people here are mostly bummed by work so much that weekends most prefer to laze around. Its like there are two moods on weekends. Lazy and Very lazy. By the way, if you have a regular cell phone (I have a *clears throat* iPhone) type onsite, one of the options you can see is "morgue". Also, cricket has not started yet.
Speaking of cricket, Ponting scored a century before Indian team punished his team like a naughty victorian era child. This may be his last stint as captain. With bizarre choices and even bizarre attitude, he is trying to convince himself that he has much left in him. But its more like an old man going to pubs to score. Some may pity him but nobody would believe what he says. But he deserves some respect as a batsman. As a cricketer, not much. He has been the epitome of what Australian cricket stands for. But as a batsman, he has been maginificient. At least till couple of years ago. I dont like him but still I do consider his 140 vs India in 2003 WC final as one of the finest I have watched. It may as well be marked as the finest ODI innings by an Australian.
India played pretty well to send back the champions.. Except for Gambhir, who at one point decided he is a headless chicken and started running all over the place. Yuvraj is making the KG king Inzy proud with his batting. Inzy still wouldnt approve your runnign between wickets though. A weighted (get it??) batsman scores with his bat, not legs. Next stop Mohali. Arch rivals playing their 5th encounter in worldcup. Can India continue their unbeaten run? There is video that says India may lose as bookies have put lot of money. Well. I do not believe in it. I have not seen Arnab Goswami talk about it. If the GMan doesnt wage a war, it probably is not true. Also, Aaj Tak has not had a special yet.
We will be watching the biggest drama of this world cup hopefully. We have had all England matches in group for thrills but this should be better than that. Indian strong batting lineup which is one batting powerplay away from hara kiri are facing Pakistani bowling attack who can commit hara kiri anytime they want. Its Nehra who is horrible in front of the wicket vs Kamran who is horrible behind it. Bhajji who can slap his Indian teammate vs Shoaib who can go one step better and hit the teammate with a bat, two batsmen of Pak vs two bowlers of India, Its the man who defies all common sense vs well.. India does not have any one to match Afridi.. Afridi is someone who can rip any team apart. He can harm the opponents or he can harm his own team. Lets hope its the Second one. As usual, let the best team win. Sorry Pakistan. You played well. Thanks for the entertainment . See ya.
