Have mercy on us DD..

So,finally, a long awaited success for Team India. We pulverized the Lankans and before they knew what hit them it was all over. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the latest craze of this already crazy nation and we now have our very own Afridi. Ok, before I get carried away by all this cricket rhetoric I read in the newspaper everyday, I better get down to writing what I started out wanting to write...Have mercy on us DD.

"that was hammered away.....straight to the fielder.."
"maintanancy of form is essential due to tooth and nail competition among the young boys on the team.."

"wonderful shot....and he's been caught...."

"well hit, that should go for some runs...he gets a single off it..."

Such pathetic dross from the 'elite' commentary panel. Pandit Mohinder Amarnath's brilliant poetry. Krishnamachari Srikkanth playing the drums on the table (wonder why Charu didn't start dancing...maybe they'll have a starlet in noodle straps for the next series to form a dance pair, we'll just have to wait and see) Useless Mega polls like "What did Sachin eat for lunch today...A)Wheaties B)Rice C)He didn't eat at all...SMS A B or C to 676733 and win Mega prizes". An ad between balls. Ten ads between overs. And a million ads at lunch. DD is making a mockery of one of the greatest passions of this nation.

The "first fan of the Indian cricket team", Ms.Bedi, didn't make an appearance though. Thank god for small mercies.

Ok DD, listen up, we in India love our cricket. No, we worship it. Please let us enjoy the game. We know you love to make money. Probably more than we love our cricket. But please, don't cut to the field camera after the first ball of the over is bowled.Don't try to squeeze in an ad on every available sqaure millimeter on the screen. Have meaningful discussions and polls. And wake up DD, Arun Lal and Maninder Singh were giving (bad) Hindi commentary not so long ago. Give us some good commentary teams for a change (Harsha Bhogle, Geoff Boycott,Sunil Gavaskar et al.) . Don't belittle this wonderful game, nay, national religion, we all so adore. This is a heartfelt appeal. Have mercy on us DD!

Blogus Primus

Its past 01.00 AM. I find myself, surprisingly, wide awake. And, not-so-surprisingly, absolutely unable to study. My friends have blogs, my neighbor has a blog, my neighbor's dog has its own blog and so do 20 million other losers on the internet. Even Google has an "official blog" (yeah really, check out googleblog.blogspot.com). And there are 200 million people spending upto 20 hours a week reading these things every year in the US alone. It is supposed to be addictive, therapeutic and fun, all at the same time. It is supposed to be the in-thing to do. So I decide to join the hordes of people wasting tremendous amounts of time and internet bandwidth putting up the silliest things on the world-wide-web and calling them "blogs". So here goes, my first ever blog!! I have filled up a considerable amount of space with pointless nonsense which is of no use whatsoever to either me or any person living or dead. Now that I have my own blog on blogspot.com, purportedly the largest and most popular blogsite of them all, I can feel proud of being a certified denizen of the blogosphere. I can now put up links to this page on my website, my orkut profile and anywhere else I can think of, tell all my friends and feel very happy about it. SIC

P.S. 200 million hits a year must be making pots of money in ad revenues for blogger.com(which, incidentally, is owned by GOOGLE, which, incidentally, saw a profit growth of 700% this year..) so atleast I can rest assured that this whole exercise is not entirely in vain...the rich are getting richer...thanx to me!!
