Team Lunch

By
Team lunches are a lot of fun. This is one time where guys let their guard down and talk about things aside from work. You get to learn a lot from the employee - their likes/dislikes, their frustrations, their outlook towards various things etc. I tend to use those to assign projects, talk to them etc.

Sorry, I digressed. We went to Mast Kalandar on CMH Road for lunch. The good part about this restaurant is that it looks and feel like a clean place. The food looks and tastes fresh although, I would like them to speed up a little bit in serving us the food we order.

We came back walking while coming back and it seems like ages since I have walked a long distance. I need to do this more often and more regularly. I used to do some decent exercising every day which i stopped after my trip to the US, where I hogged on chocolate chip cookies.

The weather is Bangalore is downright cold in the evening and nights. It is chilly and one does not feel like waking up early in the morning to exercise :-)

Will start exercising tomorrow and report back on how the first day went...

Abhinav takes his first wicket

By
Last weekend, more precisely on Sunday October 14th, Abhinav took his first wicket ever.  He got some boy out leg before wicket.  I have heard the story about a million times about how he ran up real fast and how the batsman try to pull his ball and how the ball hit his back leg and the coach declared him out. It was pure joy and innocence on the face of Abhinav that I saw, something I wish I still retained.  Sometimes, I feel this is what sports are all about or rather should be.  His tiny 6 year old friends told him that they will inform everyone in their school bus that Abhinav took his 1st wicket.  I know many say that you should teach your kids to win at any cost, to make them winners.  I tend to disagree. I have always believed that means to an end are more important than the end itself.  I try to inculcate the same in Abhinav.  Play the sport the right way and respect all the players even when they may not be as good at the sport as yo...

Abhinav takes his first wicket in a match/Tooth Fairy finally comes

By
Last time Abhinav took a wicket was in the practice nets.  Last weekend was his match and he succeeded in getting a wicket in a real match.  He was super excited and so was I.  As a father, there is never a better moment than seeing your son do well in a sport or any activity he participates in.  More than the wicket, the joy on his face was priceless and I will probably cherish it till I die. Other interesting thing that happened in the past 2 weeks was Abhinav losing his his first tooth. ..And then came all kinds of questions on why the tooth had to come out.  What are milk teeth? What happens when the permanent ones fall off?  and on and on and on.... For now, we were able to satisfy his curiosity but his next tooth is also on its way.  Fun times indeed.

Pakistan snub in IPL3

By
This has been a topic of ongoing discussion amongst 3 of us who carpool to work.  I am trying to understand how snubbing Pakistani cricketers from a local (call it Indian) tournament constitutes an insult of Pakistan.  Does Pakistan have nothing else to worry about?  I guess they are not worried about people dying in their backyards and worried more about how the supposedly best players of T20 have been left out. Look, each franchise buys these players for money.  They have a choice of picking whoever they want for whatever reasons they want.  However, collusion in any business is not good.  If that is what happened, then I am not on board with them.  However, insult to a Pakistani nation for not picking its players is taking things a bit too far. Now, Shahrukh Khan is saying how humiliating it is for Pakistani players not to have been picked in IPL3.  As far as I know he is one of the owners in IPL and he had $750k to buy someone.  Why didn't he buy all of the Pakistani players?  ...
