Let the Games begin!

No more Odie bashing for a while! Even today I was engaged in a pretty mean psychological torture with him. So enough blogological torture for a while! But he will make some appearences or even star if i am feeling naughty enough :-P

I wanted to post about our sports stuff and blah blah like that...but I am a bit too distracted to do that...donno why?

Our house, Ramanujam, got into finals of Football after beating Bhaba and lost to Sarabhai in the finals. Sarabhai beat Raman in shootout. Hafeez, Prabodh and a juny missed their kicks putting a brilliant save from Dinkan in oblivion. Sarabhai is the best team in football. Their team has some terrific forwards and their midfield plays like forwards. Imagine their stamina, they played two 90 minute matches without substituting their players until Jeevan got hurt.

Tomorrow is cricket. Some trouble are brewing. I think I feel a little empty after deciding not to play. Now that I think of it, our team has just 3 good batsmen ( but they are terrific!) and I would have made a decent addition as an accumulator ala Kaif or Martyn. But I did'nt have to bat at all last time eventhough I was in a good nick.
Haf was pretty disappointed at todays result and he has some headache in team selection tommorow. One hell of a pain! Same case with Anand and he also has worries to take care off. Ratheesh, our keeper is hurt so we need a replacement. Some bad blood and fueds are fuelling again...
I have decided to stay away from playing and that is that. I would be going to watch the match and enjoy a day out with friends discussing about cricket and the strategies. I really wish that is all I have to do and not being in the midst of a row.

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...
