Alex's . . .

Musing over the scene at my window, Gliding blithely,my predilection (for them) I admit, But Lying am I?I am not jealous. For eon i can enjoy them, And their insouciance appeals every time (Lying am I?)But I am not jealous. Fecundating the barren,bringing hilarity to the scores, scenting the air out of nothing like a magician, Still am I lying,Am I jealous? Under the aegis of no one and never being adjured, They go any where they please,taking any shape And I wonder,Am I jealous? What an effortless cruise it might have been, As they fall blithely from the acme(of clouds), Again I wonder,Why not I be jealous? No woes,No pain,No grief, No course,No mission,nothing Now I wonder,if I am jealous? For I wish I were like you, You carefree rain drops,truly blessed to bless And now you know why i am jealous. I know well life is no fairy tale and even more so The adage,no rose without thorns,But this I sincerely wish that The scene at my window was real.

We met again now And I wish she knew how She made me feel cold With feelings I never knew I had Seeing her leave I feel so bald Ah how i wish I had told... Helpless for i am caught up in sea, Depth I know not though i could see, Its clear,the destination and the course, But its getting heavy the pain,hunger and remorse, That my eyeballs hide which you know not neither he, Ah how I wish she was here to share... A movie like my life goes,an unfortunate sad one, So unfair yet no one to complain and I, I cry in vain (am not a hero) just let me live. I feel I never belong here Like odd one out living here and there, Ah how I wish someone knew what it is like to be ME! Note:This is just another simple poem off the top of my head.Resemblance to anyone is purely/merely a coincidence and any inconvinence is regretted!Thanks :)

The battle lines are drawn and the stage is set for the final of this season of IPL as DC takes on BRC!You cant say that they were the 2 best teams of the tournament but these 2 teams have certainly performed when it mattered and they deserve to be here. Being a sports fan I had a disappointing last week seeing both Liverpool and Punjab being knocked out of contention.In Liverpool's case it was a mere disappointment after having had a consistent run in the league after abt....i dnt remember....8-9 years?But Punjab came so close needing just 117 runs to win against Chennai but their batting let them down yet again on a challenging 2 paced pitch.Personally IPL is not the same without Punjab :-( .And RR,who also had the same concern with bat gave KKR their second consecutive (consolation) win after a shabby performance with the bat but were fighting till the end and it required a spirited display by Agarkar to see them through. Anyway the 4 better teams(DC,DD,BRC,CSK) qualifie...

Half way in to the crucial week which decides the 4 semifinalist,tables have turned yet again and the very interesting thing abt this tournament is that every team looks beatable and given the un predictable nature of the T20 it just adds more sheen to it..Sadly some of it was darkened last weekend by even more un predictable power cut :).But it strikes during Punjab's match with remarkable accuracy :(.I had to follow almost entire King's XI chase in my cell(on friday) and also a few overs in the middle during Deccan's innings on sunday.That last over by I.Pathan to R.Sharma in full flow(and had done it the day before) was awesome and to win it by one run was wonderful.It reminded me of T20 WC final! I can only feel for KKR team/staff and srk.Especially for a succesful celebrity like srk,it shd have been really difficult to see his team fail badly after all those profesional set up from CEO to coach.For players,it should be very difficult to motivate themselves for the ...

It is getting very exciting as we head in to the last week of the IPL and still any of the 6 teams(except Delhi&KKR) are in the running for the remaning 3 semi final spots after Delhi has already qualified.The last 2 days saw 3 very closely fought matches which could have gone either way and still the table is finely balanced!With the gap closing and teams swaping positions with every match I guess some *heart breaks* are in store for some teams this week! On Wed(13/5/09) DC looked well set to win the match till Symonds and Gilli where going in full flow but lost track in the end to loose by 12 runs against Delhi.Yesterday Hayden was in his elements as usual(he has amassed 486 @ an amazing avg of 48.6 so far..) as Chennai got off to a flier yet again but when he left the crease with Chennai at 101/4 off 13 Overs they collapsed to 129 which was chased down by BRC(thanks mainly to Taylor and V.Kohli) with 2 balls to spare but certainly it was not as easy as it looked on the score...

After reading a bit too much stuff about some of the craziest languages in software over the past 2 days,well definitely not as crazy as English where your noses(should this be singular? help me...*english freaks*) run and feet smell,pronunciations based on their origin,the way u read the same word determines tense....sigh..I am not good at hitting the bulls eye,am I? I dont know if you want me to, but somehow am getting carried away..but that is not your concern,is it?Atleast I guess I should not be corncerned abt it..actually I am not!But what should be the point of concern is that you have not yet got the point(if u r concerned abt the point/message)!Dont think you have missed it because you have not!I just let myself got carried away,deep.(*spur of the moment* thing)!Let this be a vague start!we will discuss the match in the next para! After being little bit stressed over the past couple of days(which I guess is already evident :) ) I was hoping for a good win for Punjab which wo...

Like they say in million songs "Love will find a way" ,KKR involuntarily seems to be finding new ways to loose the match :( !Today they messed up in batting and would have lost badly if it was not for Agarkar(39 off 29 balls) whose late heroics gave themselves something to defend(123 runs).The only (other) batsman to contribute in the top order was Ganguly who made 44 off 45 balls! DD (in good form) started well (50 in 6.2 overs) and was cruising from there...For a brief moment in the 9 th over when I.Sharma got 2 wickets KKR seemed like making a match out of it but DD were too good.AB Devillers was unbeaten on 40 and karthick was on 17 as they won by 7 wickets with 3 overs to spare. Earlier in the day BRC met MI in an important match.Though Sachin fell without scoring and Jayasuriya after making 29, Rahane and Duminy played well making a 100 plus unbeaten partnership as they set a target of 158.In reply for BRC no one went on to make a big contribution except Boucher who m...
