Men@work

It has been a long & hectic week for me.Not because I had tons of work... but because we had tons fo meeting.And after each meeting the only unanimous decision that came out was we will have another meeting ... sounds crazy .. ya it is but this is how the 90% corporates work.For the remaining 9% .. they dont attend these meeting and the 1% are those which actually make the business happen.
Guys like Jack welch or larry Elison dont need a meeting to decide on something .. they go by what is called a GUT INSTINCT ... go for it if you feel that is correct. This week was also special in the sense I met an old time school/college friend and my colleague in the early days of our struggle ....For the time we were together it ne'er felt that so many years have passed by since we had graduated from college .. everything looked so fresh as if we were iin college canteen only yesterday afternoon ...... OK OK now I wont be getting more emotional ..sob sob sob ..

Now the real things .. for the guys like me who live on cricket, the week was special .. Pakistan 's tour of India finally got underway with the first test at Mohali .As expected, the match was full of excitement right from the word go( though we got delayed in saying it due to rain god).But otherwise match was a huge swinger .Even though India was on top of the situation from the first session,Pakistan managed to hangon and secured a draw from the verge of defeat.With 6 Wkts down and just a lead of 150 odd runs and day to spare, they infact did a really good job of saving there wickets with Abdul razzaq and Akmal acting as a sheath anchor for Pakistan.They made their stumps impermeable to the Indian pacers(which failed even with the new ball to break the ice).

So far for the day.... siging off
