Musings on a late sunday afternoon

A month into the realms of corporate world, and you tend to look at weekends in a whole new light altogether. Atleast I do. Now I am not going to grumble about the rigorous training. No, I think its pretty ok as long as you can manage to clear the tests . Another fortnight and the training should be over.

Anyway it was the weekends that I wanted to bring up here. This weekend was one of the better ones I had. Managed to eke out time for tennis and rather content with it. Must say the synthetic courts at LB stadium rock. It was also a nice change to see the Indian cricket team on the brink of clinching an away series after 1986, not counting series wins in WI and Bangladesh. The much vaunted Indian batting line up is beginning to show some steel. Whether this steely resolve will be sustained remains to be seen. The forthcoming series in Australia later this year should give us a fair picture.

Oh and by the way, the other day on my way to office saw a bizarre incident. There was some sort of contact between a Qualis and a guy on a motor-cycle. What actually transpired leading to the accident I am not aware but saw the motorcyclist literally hitting,yes hitting the qualis driver with his helmet through the half open driver's window- glass. Infact such incidents have become passe. The way I see it much of the problem stems from the fact that people seem to have little or no patience and a complete disregard for driving ethics. Try explaining lane driving to an auto-wallah :)

Cheers!
