Deccan Chargers ......

Deccan Chargers made it up all the way to the top. Eight in the tally last year and they have clinched it this season. Thats the way Gilchrist .... You made the difference.

I have been following the IPL this season quite regularly. In fact I own a jersey of Deccan Chargers and I wear it with pride. It was all about team effort. I loved the final. I expected CSK to come to final, but unfortunately due to their bad fielding efforts they couldn't make it.

For all known reasons a CSK vs DC final would have been lot more fun. May the CSK learn some facts about fielding and come into the field. In a way it was the victory of CSK against KXI that made DC into the semis.

Congrats Guys especially harmeet singh for bowling few balls of good line :).......

French Open , hopefully Fed Ex can stop Nadal , World T20 may we give the shelter for the cup for one more year ...... The sporting season has started off on a high note with the DC win ..... Hoping that it continues ...

When I heard ....

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide,
and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with
much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

A nice piece .... Its so true just njoi the sheer beauty in the nature than to account for .... I some times wonder are we moving in the right direction. Trying to figure out how things work and how we can man make those that nature created. I dont know how quantum physics works (i guess i do know a bit ....) but I enjoy the candle light dinner ... Less Effort More Output is what the current world believes , Is it right direction to get through ..... Anyways its so wonderful to enjoy the natures beauty than to account for it ...

Acceptance ....

As life takes me through myriad experiences, there were times I questioned the way things are, at times I accepted and went along. I felt like an actor at times and director at others. But one thing I took time to learn and still learning is "Acceptance". Acceptance of How things are and what I am. I remember the days in which I was in the denial mode and not ready for acceptance.

The Lotus leaf accepts the dew drops and the scorching rays of sun alike ... The birds halt their journey when the darkness engulfs ... Tree sheds leaves in the fall and blooms in spring and questions not ... The intelligence embedded in me makes it more difficult for acceptance, But fails to realize that Acceptance is the first step on the long road ahead if I wish to travel along.

I learn't a lot from my better half, a lot about acceptance. I m more happier today because of it and am able to wade through the crests and troughs.

I liked this poem from one of my fav poets Robert Frost titled Acceptance.
It needs the thought of philosopher and walk of an ordinary man to come up with such master pieces ..... I enjoyed reading the below poem ....


When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud
And goes down burning into the gulf below,
No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least must know
It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in her breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from his nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.
At most he thinks or twitters softly, 'Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be.'

Why do we Yell ? .....

Why do we Yell in anger? A sage asked his disciples 'Why people yell at each other when they are upset?' The men thought for a while, 'Because we lose our calm' said
one.'we yell for that.' 'But, why to yell when the other person is just next toyou?' asked the sage. ' Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a softvoice? Why do you yell at a person when you're angry?'


The men gave some other answers but none satisfied the sage. Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, theirhearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must yell, to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to yell to hear each other through that great distance.' Then the sage asked, What happens when two people fall in love? They donot yell at each other but talk softly, why?

Their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...The sage continued, 'When they love each other even more, whathappens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love eachother.' Then the sage said, 'When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

The Twenty Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
