Cricket & More: Living the World Cup
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/living-world-cup.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Living the World Cup. Man am I in for some fun or what? The menu arrived and the prices were prohibitive - I got myself a beer and decided to nurse it through the inning. The beer nursed me through the collapse. 190 odd and indeed we were in trouble. It was time for dinner though - remember the prohibitive prices I spoke about? The Indian team paid back today for one bad day in Double Decker in Dubai. Nothing short of winnin...

Cricket & More: November 2010
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Monday, November 15, 2010. Cell phone companies probably have a different profit booking code for festivals and new year what with the mass smsing that happens. And on those days sms inboxes are full to the brim with the warm wishes of many well wishers. The phone with the advent of mobile phone has been replaced by the sms. And the art of mass forwarding. Yeah - i guess I am old fashioned. Whats your story? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I also write for.

Cricket & More: April 2013
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Almost 23 years of the stadiums going "Sachhhinnn, Saaaachiinnn" at the drop of a hat. The pure unadulterated joy at the second Indian wicket going down in a Test inning. Because that heralded the arrival of the man everyone was there to see and to shower with adulation and adoration. Because he was The Player. But in that grimace, was my realisation that the era had ended. Maybe all that was left was a few good shots as the c...

Cricket & More: December 2010
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Thursday, December 16, 2010. He was at the crossroads with the decision looming large. He could possibly not put it off any more. The choice had to be made. Would he follow his dream and go for the glory - to play cricket at the highest possible level - or would he take the other route and fade away into the sunset? To take a shot at his dream - it would mean that he would have to take risks. The risk of making a fool of himself, the risk of failing and...

Cricket & More: World Cup Champions
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/world-cup-champions.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Monday, April 04, 2011. There was this comic on Cricinfo that talked about everlasting images from every World Cup. For me there are everlasting memories from each World Cup. Some of them great - ones i will savor for ever, some I wont savor and yet can't forget. 1996 will always be about Kambli crying and walking off after he had seen Jayasuria turn the ball square and get out the Indian team leading the rowdy Eden crowd to do their best rowdy act. 2011 ab...

Cricket & More: The Inflection Points
http://pushkarsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/inflection-points.html
The Optimist's view on Indian Cricket and Life. Thursday, January 26, 2012. In any trend sheet - things dont just happen. There is always an inflection point - the one thing that seems to trigger off the long trend. And lets make no mistake - the rise to no.1 was not just because we played a fair bit at home - it was because we fought hard outside home. The World Cup saw the same fight and the refusal to give up and thus was the Cup won. Instead Raina started the session with his slow spinners. The m...

ASSI GHAT: August 2006
http://it9604.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 16, 2006. Bought this book on Urdu poetry (with English translations) by Mir and Mir called "Anthems of Resistance". Found some interesting ones. Thot I would post some of them on this blog as when I find something interesting . Here goes . Bhadka rahen hai aag lab-e-naghmagar se hum. Khaamosh kya rahenge zamaana ke dar se hum. Le de ke apne paas faqat ek nazar to hai. Kyon dekhen zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se hum. Maana ke is zameen ko na gulzaar kar sake. Posted by it9604 at 9:53 PM.

Onam Boat Race and Organizational Behaviour | A Random Walk
https://alok.wordpress.com/2006/08/30/onam-boat-race-and-organizational-behaviour
8230;down the hallways of technology, marketing, capital market, and ramblings of the devil ’s mind…. August 30, 2006. Onam Boat Race and Organizational Behaviour. How fast can a team of 100 rowers row a boat. Statistically these 10 rowers selected at random can row the boat at the same average speed as the larger boat. So the race should end in a draw. As Jim Clarke founder of Netscape puts it). The startups are ready to pay exhorbitantly high salary to recruit the bright guys (you need to pay much ...
