Hmmm…
Date is 26, Day is Sunday, Month is July and Year is 2009. Nothing special. Just FYI.
Quite a few interesting things have happened in last few weeks.
A glimpse of those “interesting” things
• I have moved on to a new project (not really a new one but new to me).That makes my visit to Johannesburg in Feb-March this year as the last one for me, to that palce. After 2.5 yrs and 5 visits to Johannesburg, I’ve realized that it was not a bad place at all. There is more to Africa than the crime and poverty that gets highlighted in rest of the world.On professional side, it was getting kinda repetative to me but I’ll forever remember the experience that I have gone through in these visits. After all, it was my first visit to a place outside India.
• Dell finally said that they couldn’t recover data from the “crashed” hard disk from my office laptop. Damn!! Lost chunks of data both official and personal. Sad!
• I finally got to put on an original Manchester United jersey. Courtesy of Venkata Srinivas Kishan’s colleague who had been to England. A dream come true. Next one on the line would be to be in Old Trafford (Manchester United’s Stadium) for a match against Liverpool. Haha. I laugh at it myself. Lets see if I can make this dream come true, somehow!!
• Rahul Dravid has been selected among the 30 probables for Champions Trophy to be held in South Africa this year. Woohoo. Now, that is what I term as “pleasant surprise”. Finally, some sense has got into selectors’ head. Hope the sanity continues and RD plays for team in the tournament.
• Michael “Amazing” Owen has landed in Machester United and has been handed over the coveted No.7 Jersey. MO7 is what he’ll be known as from now on. :-) It was David Beckham and this guy who captured my attention and made me get stuck to the football mania way back in 2001-2002. To see him in my club is like brilliant, effing brilliant!!!
• I watched the worst Akshay Kumar movie ever (watched by me in a theatre).Such a sick movie.Pathetic.Irritating to the core. I mean, what was the producer thinking when he agreed to make a movie on such a story or the lack of it ??!! I was disappointed, to say the least.
• My quiz team has been torn apart by the cruel world of of of, I don’t know what!!! Chaitanya(CDya, pronounced as “seedya”) has relocated to Pune and that leaves only me and Santu(Savanur that is) in the concrete jungles of Bengaluru. Sad!
• Damn these Congressis.They said that the Kargil was NDA’s achievement and the 10th anniversary of the victory in the WAR should not be a nationwide celebration. When will politicians come out of this petty world of theirs where their acts are achievements and others achievements are mere actions with no worth ?!?!?! I feel sad for the people who lost their relatives and friends in the war.They would have been really hurt by this kinda behaviour of the government.Sad!
• Beckham is open to a plan of coming back to Manchester United. Brilliant. I mean, that is where all the football started for me, Beckham at Manchester United. I know that this news is as if it has come out of a story book. But, one can’t completely rule out the possibility.
Can’t think of anything else right now!!
Anyways, I wasn’t expecting to write about these many things. :-D
Cool.
The power is back now and I can post this on the blog.
Couldn’t think of a better timepass with the laptop’s battery staring at me with a wicked smile.
