Random Thoughts

IPL starts today, Mumbai vs Kolkata. Not sure why but I am not really looking forward to it. Maybe the interest will build up as the tournament progresses. It is so long drawn out. Another reason is the packed season we have had already culminating in the most disappointing end to T20 WC final for India.
It has come out today that Supreme Court has named 12 players and also N Srinivasan in the Spot Fixing case. Good to hear that Sinivasan has been named. For too long the BCCI has been making players the scapegoats. Life bans were handed  by BCCI to Sreesanth and others last year and nothing happened to CSK and 'Damaad' Meiyappan......so blatant.....hope SC comes down heavily on this......
The weather here in Chelmsford is again very sunny today, Tomorrow the maximum temp. is going to be 21 Deg Cel....so pretty hot.
The Indian Election scenario is getting hotter.........opinion polls are predicting that NDA might get outright majority.......let's see, opinion polls have gone badly wrong in the past. I was in Hyderabad in 2004 when all opinion polls predicted a win for Chandrababu Naidu. After the polls, in 3 hours the results were out, Chandrababu Naidu suffered a humiliating defeat. He lost even from the twin city Secunderabad-Hyderabad for which he had done so much. So the Indian voter can be quite unpredictable.
If you follow the media, they have already concluded that NDA will win. Strangely, it appears Congress is not going all out. Maybe the leadership is not decisive enough to do that. Maybe there is some confusion. AAP's campaign is also losing steam a bit. For them it has been a whirlwind since they won in Delhi. It is a case of taking on too much too soon. Poor Kejriwal has been assaulted 5 times till now.....this is a new phenomena....

At the skating rink now.....Ammar has his classes......break for me from the mails, calls, follow ups....it becomes too much sometimes.....the so called 'knowledge worker' spends most of the time on MS-excel, word, outlook, lotus notes....where is the knowledge !!
