HT’s scoreboard for the 1st ODI between India and England on 28th March, at a point of time showed 4 indian cricketers batting at the same time. One was Pathan and the other three were Suresh Raina, Raina and S Raina. I guess they could decide what would be the best way to write his name. After sometime they brought down the number to 3 cricketers… couldn’t wait for it to be fully fixed cause it was late in the night. Found it funny, so here are the images.
Update 06/01/06: Due to my screw up during synchronizing process of this blog, the images abouve have been lost. Hence a tag screwed up has been added to this post.
As most have noticed, I have installed and customized a new theme.. This beautiful and elegant theme has been created by narcissus. I saw it while I was browsing through Emily Robbins’ comprehensive list of around 700 wordpress themes. There are some really wonderful themes available there for Wordpress 1.5 and 2.0.
You can get this theme and it’s latest version here.
The first and the last post using this software, well at least till they make this application a lot better. The good part is that Qumana is FREE and is better than most other blogging tools that I have come across. This software works for Windows and Macs. The bad part is that it lacks things such as options to change timestamp, adding images as thumbnails and adding custom tags.

This movie has received great reviews… a score of 8 out of 10 on IMDB by the people who have see it. I think maybe it actually is all that good, but I didn’t like it a bit. I will give it credit for beautifully capturing the scenery, but other than that it was just a dull and a slow movie to me. I watched about an hour of it and then couldn’t take it any more.
To me it is a perfect example of why one shouldn’t go by IMDB ratings. Some people may like it, but it is definitely not a movie that I am going to like. I give it 5/10.
ok movie, but nothing great. Bruce Willis plays an old cop who is almost good for nothing. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy to kill a witness who is going to testify against a NYPD officer. The movie is just shows how he tries to save the witness from these corrupt cops.
Didnt like it that much…. give it 6/10.
Didn’t have enough money to goto Florida, so loads of friends and I went to Smoky Mountains in Tennessee for the Spring Break. It was a fun-filled but a tiring trip. Had to sleep for more than 20/48 hrs after getting back to Chicago.
3 groups (that I know of) went to Smoky Mts from UIC this time. We were 14 people in one group and had 3 cars. It took a bit to get to Smoky Mts as we had a stop over at Indianapolis for a while. We stayed near Pigeon Forge in a cabin called The Hideout. Most of the time we were playing Pool or relaxing in Jacuzzi (hot tub). Other times we went hiking, rafting, go-karting etc.
I have here three of about thousand pics that we all clicked in total. Ill be uploading many more onto Flickr. The one below was taken in Tuckaleechee Caverns and it has the whole bunch.. Ninad, me and Ishaan on the ground, Monil, Nayan, Rahil, Siddesh, Ajay, Rishi and Kinnari at sitting on the bench and Omid, Tejas, Paresh and Sumant standing/sitting at back.
The following picture was taken on the trail to Rainbow Falls. Everyone was happy to finally sit down and rest before heading back.
This picture below has two of the three groups getting all ready for rafting. It was almost snowing that day and the wind was cold. The hands were out holding the rows and they went through the transiting of getting cold, to unbearably cold to burning… Rafting was fun cause we had a few class three and a couple of class four rapids.
A few people fell ill, few got hurt, couple got ticketed… some cars got flats and one car went into a ditch… but everyone reached back all safe and sound…
Over all the trip was a success. We had loads of fun. Freaked out as much as possible (with the little sleep that we had there).
ok… This was a very weird movie to watch. The picturesque settings of Brokeback Mountain are wonderful, but the whole story and gay love scenes kind of got to me. I was 45 mins into the movie and was wondering why am I even watching this movie. The only thing that got me going through it was the fact that this movie got numerous Oscar nominations and it was one of the contenders for the best picture.
I did watch the whole movie but didn’t like it. At the end I was kind of relieved that it was finally over.
Hey peeps,
Happy Holi to everyone…. I hope you all have a great time…
I for one haven’t played Holi for the last few years… The best time I had was when I was 13… we had a blast at Air Force Station, Palam, New Delhi. We roamed the whole place in a group of about 20 odd ppl and created havoc where ever we went… those were the good old days…
Take care…
p.s. What is Holi ?
I don’t remember where I found this Dilbert comic… but it’s simply hilarious… somewhat like my work
