Well , its been a long hiatus from the world of blogging . Anyways most of the things that the break was intended for is nearing completion . What better way to start it again other than the cup of joy. All was not well , with frigging Reliance broadband being down for the last ten days ( seriously, Anil Ambani should realize the word Reliance in Reliance Broadband is an oxymoron with its DNS server not responding for every 3 hours) . Add to that I was in SQL training for this whole week , there were serious worries about the likelihood of me watching the India-pak cricket match for which even Gilani and Manmohan seemed to have bunked their office duties. As gracious and liberal as my company is (perhaps was with recent blocking of sites ) , they had setup giant screen in cafeteria , with ten 50'' LCD screens on all directions to broadcast India - Pak match . Its hard for you to, not to see the match in any direction you turn your head in cafeteria.
As it turned out, things started to get better after lunch. It was more like watching the match in cricket ground , with so many people in cafeteria , with their faces painted in tri color carrying Indian flags . The guys who profited the most from this was obviously the Food court restaurants. Anyways these were the highlights of the day..

Seductive Moment: Was debugging T-SQL function , I heard a series roars of from cafeteria that distracted me . Later came to know , it is Virendar Sehwags plundering Umar Gul with five 4’s in a over. Viru’s innings are like extra martial affairs , thrilling while it lasts , but always ends in heart break.
Generous nature Moment: SQL trainer who stopped the training midway and let us watch the match after hearing the roar from the crowd for Sehwag’s dashing four’s.
Flashback Award : Wajab Riaz ‘s back to back wicket taking deliveries . Especially the in swinging Yorker to get rid of Yuvaraj , brought back not so good memories of Shoaib getting Dravid and Tendulkar with similar back to back deliveries at Eden Gardens test match.
Slippery hands Award: This one goes entire Pakistan cricket team . The kept dropping so many catches . If it was a pin drop of silence , Guess who dropped the pin ? , the entire Pakistan team.
