Oct 23, You learn from mistakes but what if the person concerned is me and if the mistakes have a tendency of being so damned unique then what do you do?. I have already mentioned the details of the previous three cricket practice sessions. I went for the fourth time and the my magnetism worked again. I had another practice session today. So I went to bed after typing all those things I woke up early today, I mean really early. And then I went all the way to the stadium and this time had a very incident free practice session. We had a catching practice session and guess what an important member of the team commented that my reflexes were very good. Though its another matter that the ball had a tendency of passing me each time I tried to get hold of it. So after the whole thing was over I went to a friends place and had a wash up. And as the clocked ticked 9 I rushed out as the office was a good 15 minutes away. After moving some distance ...

Hi Guys, Oct 22, We are having a hell of time. Reach office at around 8:50 in the morning and in the last four working days I have left the office premises at around 9 in the night. Even today the story was repeated and i reached home at around 10:30 in the night and now here I am drafting the ramayana. The point is that I really am ashamed of myself. All my life I have been preaching the value of finishing your work within the office hours. And I have failed miserably to do so. As a consolation I want to ensure that I don't miss out on these mails. Then our in the first friendly against HCL Infosystem we won. One of the reasons for the success is the absence of yours truly but then an important role was played by Chandan Chatterjee. The chap bowled two overs and got 2 wickets at a cost of 14 runs. Infosys managed to get around 159 in 25 overs. And one of the reasons for that was our own friend chandan managing to drop two catches. Yet it was a g...

Hi Guys, Oct 19, I have spend more than a month in my present company and I am enjoying every moment of it. The most eventful chapter of my stay is my attempts to swing the cricket bat. I went for another session last thursday. Since it was a working day I was to reach the place at about 6:30 in the morning. And this time I did not take a bus. Instead i got a lift direct to noida. Sitting in pilot seat of a truck on an empty road is sure a great experience. The most memorable thing was the truck getting into a pothole and me almost hitting the roof. After reaching the stadium we did some practice and for a change i did connect a couple of times. The best part was someone commenting on my footwork (I would really like to believe that there was no sarcasm intended). But then good things don't last and my magnetism worked again. The bowler's whose ego I hurt by connecting the ball had himself avenged. He threw a beauty which completly missed the ...

Oct 13, The date in the last entry should tell you how punctual I am. In fact during my plus two days when I did have access to the computer I used the plain vanilla pen and paper and often i wrote letters that I did not post. Well thats a different story altogether and some day i will go into those details. But first of all let me update you guys with some details. First of all for the uninitiated there wont be anymore broken cd roms. I left the spectramind job on the 31st of july and then for about a month and a half I took counseling sessions for guys preparing for cat. It was sure an experience sitting front of guys like you and me and listening to all their tales and miseries. Then on the 16th of September I finally joined HCL T. But what was more interesting was the fact that I joined their cricket team. The cricket team inclusion reinforces my belief and I am extremely talented and there is some kind of magnetism in me that makes me do great thi...
