A miracle or another 4 year wait

Team India played a superb match today with the hopes of a billion Indians and hit them for a six. The jerks lost again and are potentially out of the world cup.

What follows will be the usual crap – a series of series and pointless discussions and post-mortems on all the news channels – “Why didn’t India make it to the Super 8?” or “What went wrong?” ; A few more cricketers houses will fall; More effigies will be burnt ; blah blah … like as if any of those or even this blog post will change the truth – India are potentially out of the cricket world cup!

Freak! That’s kinda hard to digest. Leaves a bad after-taste as well.

Unless, unless ofcourse, a miracle happens and Bermuda actually beat Bangladesh. If not another 4 year wait is all that we need, to have our hopes played around with once more.

F1 is back!

For all Formula 1 fans – the 2006 season has begun, starting with the free practices today, at the Bahrain Grand Prix!! Check out more details and results of the free practice runs here.

I hope this season is very exciting with all the new changes and new teams and new drivers and most importantly I hope Ferrari and Schumi are back at the top, where they belong!

vrooom

Yup F1 is just around the corner and this time it’s going to be very special with India’s very own Narain Karthikeyan also in the race for Team Jordan! Narain will be debuting at the Australian Grand Prix on 6th March 2005, making him the first Indian ever to race in Formula One.

Go Narain Go!!

But as usual the Indian Government plays spoil-sport and in the midst of such joy brings in a dampener by banning Narain (and other sportsmen) from wearing the Indian Tricolour on their clothes/helmet. If I were a sportsperson, nothing would make me more proud than wearing the Tricolour on my shirt. I don’t see it as a disrespect in anyway, Infact I think it is the greatest honour a sportsperson can do for the country. Read more on this totally unnecessary rule here.
