A fellow blogger suggested that I break this writing block by putting down 25 random thoughts as they come to my mind....I have taken this seriously and let me see what I can make up
- Why have cheer leaders been force fitted into IPL? Something I believe is not part cricketing pedigree. It certainly fits like a glove in say NFL, NHL coz it is integral to them; starting from high school and college games.
- Film stars and politics seemed quite connected in India. Now film stars and cricket!!!....should I say in the business of cricket?
- Why don't our film actors lend their business acumen and presence to revive / support sports like hockey and badminton?
- Boris Becker stormed in and won the 1987 Wimbledon. When he couldn't defend it in 1988 and there was a big hue and cry in the media, he simply said ''I just lost a match...no one died here''.
- Nothing compares to watching Test Cricket in Australia on Channel Nine at 4.45AM with the hallowed commentary team of Bill Lawry, Richie Benaud, Tony Grieg and Greg Chappell.
- If people think and believe that SRK is full of himself, isn't he aware or doesn't he know it at all? It's all part of his strategy to craft and sustain an on-screen persona.
- On the same lines, was shocked to see SRK look just himself playing a character as explosive and intriguing like King Ashoka.
- Why can't boys wait to wear full pants while grown up men roam around in shorts?
- There is no rock band like Guns N Roses; Axl and his voice remains in my mind as fresh as always
- If we as Indians have made pizzas and colas an integral part of our food habits, why haven't dosas and tender coconut water done the same to the Western world? Are we missing a strategy here?
- Why do we continue drinking colas despite knowing and reading enough about their ill-effects - is it sheer neglect or is it an everlasting fad?
- We usually never haggle on price at a branded store or an expensive outlet, but can't wait to push for best prices at food malls and lowest air fares.
- Why a sudden spurt of flying shoes in Indian and global politics? hahaha...look how we are keeping our young politicians on their toes!!!
- If we spoke of anger and flying footwear...someone got into trouble for showering love and affection on his political opponent!! Love..where art thou??
- I wonder how e-mails made letter writing redundant...and how now online chats have made e-mails redundant...how SMSes may shortly make telephone calls redundant?
- Why do women never/hardly follow women's cricket? especially when there is much women's emancipation in the air.....
- I love the Beatles song...ELEANOR RIGBY...check out the lyrics..very melancholic and has deep meaning
- Why do the westerners in general have a clear line of divide between personal and professional time whereas they are completely inter twined for us Indians?
- Why is WORK such an integral part of life for some (Indians for eg.) while it is just a fragment of life for others (in the Western world)?
- All said and done, Mandira Bedi is a first mover in this whole glamorous-women-broadcasters-in cricket phenomenon...others are just following her.
- What happens at all to all these winners from reality music, comedy and dance TV shows?
- Despite all the professionalism talk in corporate world, why is still the BOSS ALWAYS RIGHT??!!
- Rocking line from Metallica ''What I've felt...what I've known..never shined through in what I have shown''
- Why do we pay rich (??) tributes to others only after they are no more with us or leaving us? Almost as though we had forgotten their achievements..and their parting/death reminded us just in time
- Isn't the above almost like a reactive vs. pro- active strategy?
