Aah! It still hurts…! Before anything else I’ll wish myself a happy birthday…so a very, very, very happy birthday Pranshu (why, thank you so much)! May all your wishes and dreams be fulfilled…by yourself 
I dunno if it’s the fad these days but here at AICAR you get your ass whipped…on your very own birthday! Mine was, I guess, more than just ass-smash. I am cutting the cake, wondering, ‘Ha! So many people here to wish me good, they love me, don’t they? Or love to hate me…?’ My doubts vanish, hopes demolish…as the very immediate future turns into the present…lots of crow-like voices sing the happy birthday song…Thums-Up & water poured over me…the cake was to be eaten right? Well, it’s my birthday, I get the cake and get to eat it too…and the lil’ facial that follows…and then, like all my distinguished, decorated and accomplished predecessors I am escorted to ‘the khamba’. And before you know anything you have stinging blows, slaps and all other verbs of inflicting pain raining on your thankfully covered bottom! What do they call it? Birthday bums? Yeah right! This one right here looked more like an attempt to murder!
You guys made hay when the sun shone brightly (and spared the rod when it was hot ). But it ain’t sunny weather always. It was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it?! Well, well, well, I have had my share…and now you all face the music…for the next 364 days! Mr.Debabrata Dash aka Bapu, I’m gonna kill you and this is one of those rare promises I intend to keep…be afraid…be very afraid…mu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
P.S.- Err…umm…hmm…when is Jaimeen’s birthday…huh?!
and now outclassed by the Lankans. Its so frustrating…like nobody cares at all. Millions were on the Indian team and now its all gone-thats all they care about, their money…Cricket as always is on the back burner. Dunno what was all the hype about. A layman would have told you that the team didnt look ready…for anything. Yes, their makeup was in place and they made sure it stays that way. Cant believe players of the caliber of Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly will end their careers without a major tournament win…And someone like Laxman will never get to play a World Cup…wtf was he left out? Only Dravid and him can bat on difficult pitches…and why was Ramesh Powar left out? Harbhajan isnt a really wicket-taker these days…Powar can take wickets and make a few quick runs…anyway…so whats next…Dravid has a couple of years in him but I dont see him leading the team in the next world cup…who’ll take over? Sehwag? Yuvraj? None of the two are very dependable…and what about Chappell? He’s contract is awaiting a renewal and I hope he’s sacked…naah he isnt the deal…would have loved to see his brother take the team under his charge…or Woolmer…
Damn you Pakistan Cricket. You killed him. Yes you. Its certain it was a murder and I’m pretty sure theres foul play involving the team and the PCB authorities…there just has to be…Woolmer took a very big risk when he chose Pakistan to coach and damn he was wrong this time…they didnt deserve him…or anything good for that matter…damn Woolmer will be missed…he was one of the big-4 in the cricketing world whose opinion made sense to me…Woolies gone…
