What an astonishing year I have so far!!! I have faced almost everything this year. Started the year with injuries, accident, then job debacle then another job debacle and finally things are looking towards going somewhere in my favor at least. Hope this year would be the last as bachelor though will not be marrying next year but surely will find my soul-mate :) And feeling quiet good and refreshed as entering into perhaps my last year of bachelor life.Now that's enough of personal things, come back to the currently moving world which is around cricket for me and is moving quiet fast these days. It's been cricket cricket and cricket for last 3 months or so now. Earlier they talk about Team India is playing very few number of tests but now everybody feels they are playing too much of test. First 2 against OZ at home, then 3 against NZ and now will be playing 3 against SA. But as long as they playing good cricket and winning nobody will be complaining at least I'm not. This team India or the World's best ranked side is on a rampage these days. After being crowned world's no.1 side they are really playing like champions. The batsman are scoring runs under all conditions, bowlers are taking wickets and bhajji is scoring centuries, so it's all going India's way for last 2 years or so now.
I watched playing Sachin Tendulkar in but could have become a test to remember for ages in Mohali this September, and can just say it was the best experience of the life. The things about him that people talk a lot like his solid defense, Cover drive, on drive, square drive, punch of the back-foot, I almost witnessed everything in his inning except for the thing he known more, he missed on a well deserved hundred. India is on tour of SA now and match at super sports park centurion is about to begin in an hour. Hoping for a good series. And here come the prediction of the year. The way team India is playing it should be 2-1 (India). No more comments on this :).BTW SA have won the toss and are bowling first. So it will be clash of the season. Sehwag vs Dale steyn. Bring it on.
Oh forget to write about the religious place visited last month. Visited Golden temple in Amritsar. Really the peace and the way temple is decorated was worth watching. I Would love to go there again and again.
In the end could just say, end of a fascinating year in which at least my big desire of life to become a programmer is seems to be heading on a good path.
That's it from year 2010. Next post will be in the year which is going to most exciting in my life at least(fingers crossed though). So till 2011 it's good bye. Happy new year to all. Stay healthy and fit. Good luck.
Cheers,

The Cricket thing
I would love to start with a quote I read yesterday and was really worth reading. "My browser says delete your history and I choose College life". I gave that a deep look yesterday and thought that, was it that much bad that I really want to be deleted from life. Doesn't think so but yes few things would love to and too as early as I can. But then they say everybody has good and bad times in life. So that bad for me at least, so it's better to forget that and move on with the life.
Earlier I just used to write things related to cricket on my blog but really thinking of posting something else here too because I am not only a cricket freak but a Software Engineer too. So hope to mix passion with profession soon.
But today have miscellaneous things coming to mind. First one, of course related to cricket. Team India have a decent outing in last 3-4 months now. After a poor show in the T20 WC they come good in triangular series in Sri Lanka and then played fantastic cricket to square the series in SL which only one side has been able to do in last 10 years or so and unsurprisingly that is Australia which is exception in Cricket always. So much cricket going on these days as pakistan played their home series against OZ in England. First test it was just a matter of another OZ showdown but Pak does well to come up with good performance in second test to level the series. In recent past I really became fan of few of the Pakistani cricketers namely Ameer and Asif. Such deadly duo in the swinging conditions.
Another pretty interesting thing happen to me in last 3 month was that I got appreciation from Mr. Harsha Bhogle, one of the finest commentator in World. That was something to cheer about. Till next post ta ta!!! See ya.

Blog Post
First of all hi to all.. I don't remember when I last wrote anything on my blog but today going to write a lot. As so many things coming to mind today. Of course most things will be related to cricket. The IPL finally came to an end. And CSK despite all SRT's heroics, won it. So many things happened in this just one tournament that u can't narrate them all in just one post but would still love to write about all in just this post only.
First will start from tournament first week. It was well known from the start of the tournment the final four sides reached in the tournament will be side to watch out for but stll few have little doubt over MI because the way they have played in last two editions they are always favorites at the start and become under achievers at the end.But this time their captain take the responsibility to take team through and he almost succeedd in that but just fails at the last moment.
MSD did what he used to do, played out of skin in the do-or-die match against Kings X1 and won it single handedly and what happened after that is history. CSK won the IPL in second attempt.
IPL was too surrounded by so many controversies during and after the tournament, as it's popular commissioner Mr. Lalit Modi caught in the midst of so many controversies. Whatever happen, I will hope that IPL will return next year again for the IPL-4 with bang.
Now IPL part is over and I must move to the next part that is T20 WC and here I must say that history repeats itself for Team India at least. Like the WC 2009 Team India arrived in WI with favorite tag, they showed that potential in the match against SA but failed to short pitch stuff, terrible bowling and lazy fielding and in the end crashed out of the WC without winning a super eight match. But I must say one of the semis played become the best match ever played in T20s. It's not because Australia chased down 192 but it was because the way they chased it. I read some wonderful lines written on the cricinfo commentary page and they were just true as far as Australian cricket is concerned. I am copying those lines here as they all were worth reading. "Australianism prevails - : Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last run is scored or their last wicket down." Just read them as they are the greatest motivation for anyone. But Australianism just halted at the final stage. A determined England side led by KP won the final at last and too won their first ever ICC event.
That was for regular cricket update, next will move to some personal stuff as on blog they say you can express yourself not only by writing general things but you can too write personal things. Not too personal though :).
Life is going smooth, moving on a fast lane and have seen lots of up's and down's in last 8 months in smartData. Enjoying working though. I too have extended my social life and used to regularly update myself on social sites like twitter, facebook etc etc. But just don't get time to update the blog. But surely will be updating the same from today onwards regularly and will not only write related to cricket or sports but also related to some technical aspects. But for now, signing off as think have written enough for this post and too it's already 5:00 am in the morning and left with just half an hour in office.
Hope everybody is fit and fine. So till next post keep smiling.
