When Winning becomes everything!!

Well mates ...it ain't a surprise that Australia has won the Cricket World Cup ...third time in a row!! They proved that domination does not work on chances....you just don't give the opposition any!!

Reminds me of another great player who dominated the game.....until it became boring as we all knew the result....Michael Schumacher!! Yup these are the people who make

the opposition sweat and leave a mark in history....and yes repeating it relentlessly. As Ricky Ponting arrogantly put it , they did not feel there was a team that could make them work harder. Lessons to be learnt I guess....for all of us!! Perhaps passion and aggression are a potent mix....

India Inc. ....looking for heroes

So much talk on cricket, endorsements and contracts....it's tough watching TV or reading the papers these days. Yes we are a nation that is obsessed beyond compare with the game, but aren't we all taking things a bit too far?? Here's how I see it, we most certainly lack heroes and am not talking the filmy folks too, but the real flesh and blood ones...!

This is also relevant in advertising, cricketers are having a fair share of the advertising pie and with BCCI cracking the whip, not everyone is happy. I really hope we find back the Lalithaji's to sell washing powder and other locally more relevant people....circa 2007, the Nike ad where the boys are the heroes in galli cricket, and the cricketers are thankfully just watching.

These are interesting times, let's look for our heroes in the gallis of India.

Google Does it again...April fool's Day

I have heard and read about it...google launches things on 1st of April, in India maybe this is a first. When I say maybe, because am tuned to think like a skeptic...what I am talking about is available as soon as one opens gmail. This is about Gmail offering Free Print Service of e-mails.....and a very well established newspaper carried it in its News in Brief section. Now let's see if there is any truth in it...but this joke is all but out there. Nice, elaborately set, it might turn out to be true, cause gmail was born in the same fashion...gawd these people are really good, perhaps even at cracking nerdy jokes!! Reminds me of my college days. :)
