Its a bugs life..

Being a developer I always had a curiosity of raising a bug. Yesterday I got an opportunity for the first time in my life to raise a bug. I felt some sort of a strange adralin rush when I was raising the bug.

Its was a battle of thoughts of how I was thinking from the user's perspective and also know what reaction the dev team might have on the issue raised by me.

Anyways the outcome of the issue is yet to be seen, hopefully the bug will be resolved as per my satisfaction.

Amen!!!

Maoists the Menace

The armed Maoists terrorists have struck again in Dantewada and our government is not even reacting to the situation. I am wondering what is the stand of the government on this. Why can't P Chidambaram come up with at least a strong statement if not more.

I sincerely feel that the Maoists moral is getting boosted with the inactivity shown by the government. The current government has shown many times some soft corner for hard core criminals like Afzal guru, Nalini (Rajiv Gandhi Killer and many more including Maoists and Naxals). India has the second largest army in the world and these petty Maoists are daring the government to bow down how ridiculous.

If the scenario is not handled immediately I fear we might knock the door of a civil war similar to LTTE in Sri Lanka and that would be much more difficult to handle as India is much bigger than Sri Lanka and there are many places to hide. Just Imagine it took decades to kill Virappan how difficult would it be todeal with these Moists and Naxals if they grow with the pace at which they are growing.

God only can save India now ..I Feel...

Dhoni Ki Hogi Unhoni

I am a firm believer of Karma.. and Dhoni's past Karma's were going to take him down some time. So far his luck was favoring him so he survived but now it has all gone away. I was really happy today that the news channels and the media started speculating that Sehwag will be new captain. I think that's a good choice for captaincy.

Okay now lets discuss why all this is happening to Dhoni. Following are my reasons for his downfall.

1. Removing all the seniors from the side.
2. Teaching the young players how to disrespect the seniors.
3. Ending careers of legends like Ganguly, Dravid and Laxman.
4. Over influencing the selection process.
5. Favoring some players in team like Yuvraj, Ravindra Jadeja etc despite them being in really poor form.
6. Not inspiring his team about the importance of fitness as a result most players are today overweight.
7. No improvements in fielding under Dhoni's captaincy. No strategy for improvement in fielding which has been our weakness since a long time now. Remember catches win matches and we have done exactly opposite of that.
8. Not nurturing quality pace and spin bowlers. RP Singh
   
9. Introducing concept of part time baller and batsman (Yousuf Pathan)
10. Relying too much on Batsmen.

You might be feeling I am being really harsh on Dhoni but I was waiting for this moment for years.I always felt that anything that rises falls some day and the pace in which Dhoni's fame had risen it had to come down sooner or later. One of the reasons why Indian cricket team is still No 1 in tests is because we still have a few seniors left.


Anyways let hope the Indian team finds some rest after all this and bounces back. I just hope that we do not commit such mistakes in upcoming oneday international worldcup 2011.

Dismal Performance Again by the Indian cricket team.

I have no words to express my agony and pain the way in which we are kicked out of the T20 World cup 3 2010. I feel ashamed that the Indian Cricket team which gets so many facilities, respect and money cant perform well in International arena especially during the world cup.

We could not defend the championship and were kicked out in first round in T20 Word Cup 2 and this time we are kicked out due to horrible play.

We must have reached thanks to Afghanistan being n our group in the initial stages..Anyways..I need to get back to work..shame on the Indian team..

Dismal performance by the Indians again against Windies..

Today is a boring monday morning and I am not very happy to write what I am going to write today.India lost again to West Indies yesterday the entire team contributed to the loss and the main culprit has to be our dear cool captain Dhoni. "Vinash Kale viparit buddhi" and all his decision making has become junk.

It seems his luck has ran out and I was waiting for this moment this is the time when we will see if Dhoni is really good enough to bounce back. Till today everything was going in his favor every word he spoke every decision he took was going in his favor but now things have started changing..The really good team on paper looked like a heard of sheep's without a good Shepard.

All his decisions to make a new team without any experience players relying too much on luck, showing disrespect to seniors is all going to start chasing him to his down fall. We won the first T20 World cup but I doubt if Misbah ul haq had not made that mistake we might not have had the privilege either. Lets see how India performs in the coming match I still hope India has a chance and may be it is Dhoni's last chance.

Pathetic defeat by the Aussies

My fears got transformed into reality and India lost again to a good opposition. Unfortunately it was not even a close match. I really don't know when India will get over virus called Dhoni.

First he got rid of good experienced guys and now he cant deal with the freshers. I really hope India quality for the quarters again with the help of prayers from Indians rather than there(Players) performance...

Rohits innings was really nice to see but even he could not resist the feeling of behaving carelessly by giving strike to Nehra and Zaheer and ways the defeat was inevitable.

Anyways ekela bacchi ki kya hum jaan lenge
