Did India ride on luck today?

I am referring to the drawn first test match at Lords, England. Many people in the media claimed that India rode on luck today and the rain Gods poured blessing for them. Well, I agree but to my knowledge this is the first time it has happened to India in recent times. All the other times Indian team will be on the receiving end.

I can remember many instances and one specific instance would be the home test series against Australia where the day 5 of the game was washed out completely whereas India was on top at the end of day 4. Moreover It was a series decider and everything mattered on that day. Since that match was a draw, we had to lose the series. Where did blessing from rain Gods go that day?

Its a known fact that nature is bigger than human. Things that are out of our control can be deemed as luck, but only to a certain extent. Neither is Australia riding on luck every time they play nor is Bangladesh unlucky. We should start appreciating the game more than the luck or other external factors. No one seems to appreciate the great resistance shown be Dhoni and Laxman to put on a very decent partnership...

Polambaravan polambikkitte thaan iruppan... Go India Go... lets rock in the 2nd test!!!

Qualification

As promised in my last blog, i discuss on the qualification needed for software industry in the present world. I disclose at this point of time that it is purely my vision on the industry and nothing to do with pointing against other's opinions. Most of the companies while recruiting freshers only prefer ENGINEERING graduates to any other arts or science grads. I just had to do some sort of analysis before i blogged about it and indeed did some ground work for the same. I contacted some of my college and school friends who are now working in various MNCs as software engineers/programmers/analysts etc... Sunny, My friend, as i said in my previous blog is a Math grad. When a Software company calls for freshers, it is a clear point that they mention "Candidates with excellent academic records and aptitude and attidue are needed". But they still stick to the point that they need only ENGG grads for those posts. If at all they need other grads, they specify the...

Thiruppachi!!!!

Yesterday night show I went to Thiruppachi. Hmmm atleast this time around i didnt feel bored. Definitely this film is better than MADHURA. Hats off to the director for trying something new... oops not the story, but i meant the screenplay. A typical film for Vijay fans. Although i am not a Vijay fan, I admire him. Lots of senti in the film. Looks like ladies will like it for sure. Nothing can come near my God's next movie.... "Chandramukhi".

A Weekend to remember

It was indeed a long weekend for me and a weekend to remember for the rest of my life. I went on a vacation (or rather an extended picnic) to Vizag. My uncle called up my family to join in his house warming and thats all the reason I needed to enjoy a fabulous weekend in and around Vizag. Here are my visits on a daily basis from saturday to Tuesday. Saturday: We went to a place called Simmachalam where Lord Narashimha is famous for, followed by another Sai Seer Mutt. Sunday: It was the house warming day. In the evening we went to Kailasha giri, where lord Shiva and Parvathi's statues are made of white stone and kept in an open place. It is a sort of hangout for the Vizagans and since it is on a hill top, we could have a view of whole Vizag city in the evening with lights. Really worth spending time there and get yourself relaxed. Monday: This was a full day trip planned to go for only 2 places. One is Arukku which is a Hill station (probably like Yercaud, not anywhere ...
