I was TAGGED by Ms. Sachi Mahajan and as per the TAG I am suppose to list the ten things that I miss the most about the 90s. I was sent to this heaven "earth" on 18th June, 1985 and since then I have been dancing away but yes! I look back and miss almost every moment of it!
Childhood games – though my friends say I’m still a kid but I long to go back (to the 90s of course!) and play all those games with my old friends: Commandos in the colony flora and fauna..gallery in the colony grounds..runnning in pitch dark and not knowing at all wat cud be there next without fear on new year's eve...playing cricket after new year got over in tennis court and the ball getting lost ..hide and seek wen construction of building is going...crocodile crocodile..ohh the list is jst immenst..name a game and i luved playing it..playing cards at night with cousins with parents shouting us to sleep ...
Playing kabbadii in the class and me and "paro",the slimmest guys of the clas holding out the muscle man of the class..by pressing his stomach and wat not...and then "Sister Rose",our principal appears in the scene wen we are playing cricket with a leather ball and the ball hits the glass behind which she is standing ...
Fighting and yes the physical one..:i used to fight with my neighbour boy and my sister combined with ever1 changing his party faster than the WWE wrestlers ..they mostly used to club against me becoz they dint want to get bulliieed:))
Eating French fries..…I simply luved them ..bt now i have taken to healthier diet with less of fried and more of juices..I have also included grape juice aka alcohol in this health drinks..
Party::My parties involved lot of eating and dancing..and also watching zee horror show..if the party got boring..
Laughing honestly: I’m too philosophical about all this. I think that I have lost out on my real smile in this millenium and I wud do anything if any1 got me my smile of childhood back..
Laughing without anyreason::this is the best part..u jst laugh becoz the other person strts laughing ..i seriously want to do it..bt since my mind has got polluted and become adult-like-rated..i simply cant do it now..
Falling off trees..:::this is the best one...I like to fall of trees..its like go to the edges of the trees and then release ur body..the body falls down even when its entangled in the tree branches and the feel u get is really gud...
Going to school early just to get to talk to tht new school crush of mine..
Travelling in Trains..I luv travelling in trains...its comfortable..and u can sleep and sleep...read comics ..i read most of my comics while travelling and i have read almost all which came during those times..supercommando dhruv,nagraj,every single 1 of them...

Australian Open
its that time of the year again when the balls are set on fire ...
I am supporting Djokovich this time..i used to be an ardent Federer fan but I think that this guy has it in him to go a long way..I actually want him to win the golden five...Grand slam + Olympic gold..His energy ,intensity are here to stay..hope he stays calm when the chips are down..
And the best part is the way his life outside this is...well if u guys dont know abt it already..u mst watch his mimicry of Federer,roddick,sharapova,nadal et al..its in a very very gud taste.

Old Skool
I happened to go to college once in a while these dayz...its pretty busy..
I have found sm solace in the wrk I have taken up in organizing the French Prez's visit to Indian Habitat Centre here in delhi.The wrk is easy but gets on my nerve really + i also happen to be meeting the kinda ppl i want to meet..very opinionated...upmarket...sophistication ..traits which I dont encounter that much in iit. Their views are pretty critical and also very deeply thought of either they are drugged or i dont know what.
I went to Khan market for the first time ...and its become a regular now for me..
neways I still found time a couple of days back to go to a class..I cudnt believe it when I took a elevator and I realized that i hadnt boarded it in the last 1-1.5 years.the boring music which plays inside it...the way it stops if too many ppl come into it.
neways it ws still very nice to attend a class..I think my first class in iit was also in this same classroom..and this ws the same place i was chuckec out of class for sleeping in my very first lecture....damn it..it ws a 8 o clock class ppl..so i am allowed to sleep in classes where else will i cover up my sleep.
I have a lot of stuff to do these dayz..and next 2 weeks I have so much to do..this prez's visit..then a meeting with my project guide..gotta meet a prof in DU too...then I have exams ..and bw the exams hav to attend a wedding..It feels too busy ..
still i donot knw if its gud or bad..DO i want a wrk life balance or do i want to be a workalcoholic or high on sm other kinda stuff...I have too much to ponder

Strike 1 ..strike 2 ..strike 3
Strike three was that he was born under the astrological sign of cancer. Strike two was that he didn't play the guitar. But what was strike one? In baseball, you have three strikes and you're out. They wanted to play the game that way, but could never seem to never figure it out.
Now there was this friend of mine who ws telling me abt his luv story sm time back..
He met this girl smtime back..at first sight she looked like a young muslim girl,since she ws wearing a black dress and her head ws covered...she had big ,beautiful eyes..bt as she said out her name in the class, she was a hindu girl..
anyways lots of classes pass by and my friend has probably just said a couple of hellos...then they actually hav a bet about a tennis match (Djokovich vs federer match)..which he loses and she wins..they meet and while chatting up they discover that they both liked a movie of amanda peet..(Sm random movie..I will have to check on him//)
Then begins their romantic tryst of identifying who ws the first to hit on the other..and the funda was called "striking on the other" from the movie..
They guy said it ws the moment they bet..
the girl then said," no".. it ws her since she decided the venue of their date..
then the guy said it ws him since the girl had mentioned tht she liked driving and the my friend just to get her attention said that even he did.(I know how badly he had driven till that day)..
they kept fighting until it ws decided that the girl struck him first with her black dress..
and that is where my friend accepted his defeat ;)..
I thought it ws a pretty cute beginning..newayz if i come across the name of the movie I will put it up here..

Sledgin
Today an article came about the way aussies sledge et al.
i found an interesting link to see..
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/16/1052885405496.html
below are the excerpts frm it:
McGrath v Sarwan ... how it happened
". . . if we meet, we shall not 'scape a brawl; for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring." Benvolio, Romeo and Juliet. The fourth Test between Australia and the West Indies certainly had its share of Shakespearean moments - the drama of a record second-innings run chase, the colour of the Antiguan crowd, the tension of the on-field confrontations.
The fourth day proved most eventful. The West Indian vice-captain, 21-year-old Ramnaresh Sarwan, was steering his side towards a second-innings total of 417; one that would save them from the indignity of a 4-0 Test series whitewash.
At the other end, fast bowler Glenn McGrath was desperately trying to turn the game Australia's way. But having been belted for 21 runs in two overs, McGrath could contain himself no longer, and resorted to an unoriginal, homophobic-themed sledge, with Sarwan replying with an equally cliched retort relating to his rival's wife.
McGrath to Sarwan: "What does Brian Lara's ---- taste like?"
Sarwan replied: "I don't know, ask your wife."
McGrath began to walk away before turning back and heading to within a foot of Sarwan, screaming: "If you ever f------ mention my wife again, I'll f------ rip your f------ throat out."
McGrath complained to umpire David Shepherd that Sarwan had referred to his wife Jane (who is having treatment for cancer).
Sledging folklore
"It's round, it's red and it's got six stitches in it." - English county bowler to West Indian Viv Richards after he had played and missed several times.
"Hey man. You know what it looks like - go fetch it." - Richards in reply, after hitting the next ball to the fence.
"Why are you so fat?" - Glenn McGrath to Zimbabwean Eddo Brandes.
"Because every time I #&$!@ your wife, she gives me a biscuit." - Brandes's reply.
"You don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat #$&!%." - Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy after Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga asked for a runner during a one-day match.
"Can't bowl, can't throw." - Nine network cameraman Joe Previtera after a wayward return by Australian bowler Scott Muller. Originally attributed to Shane Warne.
"We don't want you here, get out of my ground!" - Yorkshire bowler Steve Kirby to Steve Waugh in an English county match.
"No, I won't, this is my favourite pitch. And who are you, the *#@%& mayor?" - Waugh's reply.
"The cheque's in the mail." - An SCG spectator to Pakistan's Salim Malik after he was dismissed in the final Test match of the 1995 series. Malik had made a comeback after being embroiled in a match-fixing scandal.
"These people have not come to watch you bowl. They have come to watch me bat." - England's W. G. Grace, reportedly by way of explanation for his refusal to leave the crease when dismissed.
"No need to sledge me. I've been sledged more times than you've had pisses." - India's Sunil Gavaskar replying to a Simon O'Donnell sledge.

Tata vs Ambanis
A couple of weekz back,CNN pe ppl said tht ambani brothers are the richest family in world...
Are they icons ? Was the question they were asking..
In my opinion.. i never like reliance group, that grp symbolises greed to me.. they've twisted every law to get to top and make money.. and never gave back to the society from which they make money
now in contrast see tatas
dhirubhai will never attain the stature of JRD.. because he never took the social responsibility
and dhirubhai's kids.. will never attain the stature of their father..
tatas.. gave back to the society.. see TIFR, IISc.. and many more instis..
ambani opened one coll where they charge..close to 1lac pa.. so much for social responsibility
newayz another article came in Business World's editorial this week tht reliance is gud .becoz progress cant be made without manipulation and blah blah..bt I still am not convinced abt the fact ..
wat we could say was tht there is a lot of reliance on Tata for social upliftment..
will smbody help me???
