Today is a super Friday as far as Indian Cricket is concerned, as Indian lead an upper hand in ongoing Future cup test series with South Africa. Obviously star of the day is Veeru who displayed a furious knock of triple-ton and still unbeaten on 309, that already fecthed him a place in elite players who scored 300 two times and he now joins with Sir Don Bradman and Lara. He is always in my all-time favourites list. Such a powerful striker of the ball; it will be absolute treat for me to watch him in full flow as today, he hammered SA bowlers all over the park.i would rate this innings as one of the best innings i known and better compared to the previous triple-ton for two reasons.Firstly he never has any life or dropped chances in this innings, whereas the old one has. Nextly, he delivered this fabulous knock under more hot and humid conditions than Multan. For me, he is well deserved to score 400 run marks which would get him past Lara's world record for maximum run scored by an individual in an innings.
Though, India starts the series as favourites, we can't underestimate SA as they won their last 3 test series in a row. Clearly it is unfair to prdeict the outcome of this match as lot of cricket left in next two days.

Unleashed Moments
Long time since I have published my previous post; and this time I am here to write about my trip to hometown. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I desperately need a break to dilute myself from pressure or whatsoever which mounted from a hard spent two months.
Highlight of the trip was on Friday as I went to Trivandrum to meet a person of great holiness. When I was in native, I used to visit his place frequently say once in a month. But after got into the job, I never get a time often to make it.
Inspite there was a heavy rain;I loved that cool climate.More importantly I had very lighter moments with family.
I forget my routine to some extend; really that’s what I expect from this trip. I know, this break going to make some difference in me. Honestly I felt relaxed and lot more comfortable; as I am realising the magic behind this mighty break.

Few Minutes before week-end
I had left with some few minutes to arrive at a week-end; I had to welcome this week-end with red carpet after a hard spent weekdays. I knew that, I have nothing to comment on. Still trying to write something isn't the right thing. Keystrokes became very slow; as I have to search each key to complete a sentence. Destiny horribly claims to have a monopoly on major things. Meet you with a fresh frame of mind.
Note: This post was supposed to be published on last Friday.

An Another Week-End
It's yet another week-end. Many of such days were spent in-effectively in the past. And this time around, I have a good plan to work-out.
For me the only nightmare is laziness shouldn't overwhelm the plan, as it did in the last Saturday. Only thing I can console about last week-end was, I along with a room-mate walked for a dinner to a nearby restaurant. On the way; we discussed a lot about organizing Time & Money effectively. Interesting thing about my mate is he has an admirable knowledge on current affairs more than that he has a vivid vision over a future. And this time around he made me amazed by exposing the fact he operates to achieve his own goal. I got impressed by the way he narrated a story to become a winner. Leaving all those things apart I felt better and most relieved after a hard spent week days.
Have to put more care this time around as this couple of days should stick to the plan and not to be over complacent as always. Still, life becomes more boredom without fun. Hence need to calibrate the plan so as to ensure enough fun is there amid engagements.
The intention is very clear; fun and other actions should go hand-in-hand.

Intuitive Effect
A weird thought might arise as if something going to take place; often it would leave me in mystery. But when such thing happens in reality, it was a strange for me to believe; but gradually I got used to it. Contrarily, mind frequently tempts me to relate an occurrence with a panorama of thoughts; got succeed occasionally to match those events.
Checked with various sources and it seems many were complying with this.
Never mind the way others describes about this; all I can say about this as an "Intuitive Effect". Believe me or not; I had experienced this time and again.

Learning Curve
Even though it's a hard day for me in the office, I enjoyed this day because I get a chance to learn a technology related to performance tuning, which is a completely innovative to me. I am on the way of researching a tool "Mercury J2EE Diagnostics Probe" which would address memory leak and performance issues in our application. It's not easy for me to get away with, since I was asked to get through some 600 page PDF doc to understand its detailed configuration. Still, what made me more astonished was; I have done a significant progress to explore the features in conjunction with our requirement. I loved spending more time digging it; since mastering the skill would help me in improving my profile. I was so curious to know more facts about that in coming days.
For me workplace will become more delightful, if I get more prospects in this fashion.

Men In Blue thrashed out OZ
It's a very memorable day in world cricket history as Team India registered an emphatic victory over World Champion Australia in The Gabba, Brisbane and stolen home The Commonwealth Bank Tri Series Trophy. I was watching the Indian innings in my home. After a steady start provided by Sachin and Uthappa, India reached 200/3 in 38 overs. Sachin guided India with his marvellous 91. It's the seventeenth time he got out in nineties. Since he got out India slowly starts lose their momentum and losing wickets at regular intervals. Michael Clarke, who did damage with the ball, crabs 3 important victims. At one stage India threatens to cross over 300 plus as Yuvi throws his willow on everything. Clarke's spell proved crucial as Sachin, Gambhir and Rohit fell to his trap. Thanks to Indian tail as they managed to stay complete 50 overs to make sure India reaches 250 run mark.
Shock waited for Australia as they start their innings. Gilly was made out for duck which eventually turned out to be his last match in International Arena. His wicket was taken by a new born Hero the UP lad Praveen Kumar in his very first over. Then came the Aussie skipper Ponting, he was yet again trapped by Praveen caught brilliantly by Yuvi. I just get a feeling that, it's time for punter to make some technical adjustments. He is not in best of form; after Gilly's retirement it's important that he needs to find himself in the top. Praveen continues to impress by dismissing Clarke and bowled out Lee when India desperately need wickets to clean up. Finally he finished his magnificent spell with 10-2-46-4 dismissing.
Match seems to drift away from India when Symo and Hayden delivered some fearless shots; their partnership was put to an end by a run-out and in the same over Symo was sent back to pavilion by his good mate Bhajji.
When Indians starts breathe little easier after Symo's dismissal; Hussey and Hopes had begun to nightmare them with their excellent stroke play. Match was evenly poised when both of them out there in the middle. Dhoni was smart enough to get rid of this partnership at that crucial stage by shuffling his bowlers; and this time Sreesanth done job for his captain by provided a vital breakthrough by dismissing the dangerous Hussey. Bhajji and Chawla were used effectively in middle overs to cut out the run flow. Pathan once again seems to be more expensive conceding more than 6 runs per over.
James Hopes stayed and panicked India by hitting a six in last but one over; and the climax was decided in the final over as Aussy need 13 runs with two wickets remaining. Indian skipper bangs on Pathan to finish the proceedings. I really get amazed to see such a courage decision from Dhoni as Pathan was proved to be very expensive in his previous overs.
And finally the story ended as Pathan managed to get rid of Bracken & Hopes; it was a thrilling win in the end.
My heart pumped faster for last 15mins of the match. I had seen many close finished games. I am sure this one would be a new entry added to that list. Praveen adjudged man-of-the-match for his splendid spell. Nathan Bracken declared man-of-the-series for bagging 21 wickets in all. Gilly and Hogg bids farewell to ODI, it was an emotional scene though.
There were days when Aussies are considered more formidable and un-beatable; but Indians re-writes the history by striking with a bang. The most debated and the most suspected young Indian squad outplayed the Aussie which was a real treat for me to watch. What I understand from this victory is "Impossible is Nothing"

Monday
Most of us hate this word, due to some obvious reason and me too not an exemption. After the fun-filled week-end, once I reached office the scenes come in front of me would be issues, escalation mails, clarifications and many similar buzz words. This is what happens for me in every week and the same happened today. It's a very gloomy day for me and I am in a depressed mood. Once again I fell into discomfort zone due to some miserable decisions I made in the past. One such decision did lot of damage. But I didn't like to comment anything on the past as it was out of my control. As of now, many issues need to be addressed personally in addition to the official engagement. I am completely pissed off and in search of a long term solution and I desperately need a break till then. But unfortunately I am unable to move out of this current engagement due to a heavy dependency constraint.
One thing I can be sure is that, all these distressing situation are due to my own soul. The only salvation I felt to get out of this trouble is to confess to the Almighty. The Holy Quran says as follows: Say, "Shall I seek other than GOD as a lord, when He is the Lord of all things? No soul benefits except from its own works, and none bears the burden of another. Ultimately, you return to your Lord, then He informs you regarding all your disputes." [6:124]
And in another verse:
He said, "My Lord, I have wronged my soul. Please forgive me," and He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful. [28:16]
Looking forward to meet you in a fine day where all my worries apart.
