Friendship

How many times have we heard that we should never underestimate the value of true friendship? But do we really know what that means? Do we take our friends for granted? I'll answer that just for me - I have and yes, unfortunately, may do so in the future, I'm not perfect after all.

Having grudgingly admitted this, I would like to point out that I have some of the best sets of friends that one could hope for in a lifetime, current and ex work friends, college mates, school chums, hometown buddies, some close new friends - all of whom, I know, will be there for me when I really need them, and for that I'm grateful.

Chatting and laughing over dinner last night with some really close buddies (admittedly, on and off, my eyes kept deviating towards the IPL game - MI vs RCB), I realized that I do have some fabulous friends. Even though we all have separate interests, it doesn't matter when were having a good time together. Catching up on our variegated lives always brings out a ton of laughs and good-natured snipes. I really needed some light-hearted fun after a few tough days at work. These are guys who will stop what they are doing at the drop of a hat and come to my rescue when I need them.

So here is a huge thank you to my good friends, to everyone that has made a huge difference to my life (apart from my family of course :)I must have done something right!!

Love for Cricket

With the onslaught of the 20-20 version of cricket, I had long forgotten the excitement of the 50 over version of the game, but yesterday's match and more importantly Sachin's irrefutable prowess, gave me a new found respect for the game.

A couple of years ago, he was criticised, there were even calls for his retirement... Why? Critics claimed that he wasn't capable of delivering during crunch situations, that his ability had diminished, that he was no longer fit.... But over and over again, Sachin has proved them wrong. Yesterday, he climbed the Everest of cricket, scaling heights never known before.

So c'mon all you critics, what do you have to say to Sachin now? Hang your heads in shame and crawl back under the rocks you emerged from.

Sachin, bring home the 2011 World Cup....

First timer

I have been reading friends/random people's blogs for a few months now so I figured that I should perhaps try it out to see what the hoopla is all about.... I guess at this point it feels no different than a Dear Diary composition, maybe in time I will grow more fond of it.... or maybe not, only time will tell....

Does one blog about everything under the sun? Everything that comes to mind MUST be penned down? I can't wait to see whether I develop as a blogger....

Till then, I'm going to give this new step a 5 out of 10 in my book.
