After I had destroyed my keyboard by spilling tea into it, I had thought to buy a new one. But as I didn’t have money at that time I thought of postponing it to a later date. Now that I had some money this month, I had planned to go and buy me a cheap Microsoft keyboard. But I needed a ride to the shop as It would not be easy for me to bring the Keyboard. So, as my Dad had holiday today, he came with me. I got myself a keyboard. The other thing in my mind was a new monitor, a LCD. But my Dad had told me that he will buy one next month. He saw a Viewsonic 17 inch LCD there and asked the guy to show it to him. He really liked the Monitor. The shop owner is my friend and told me that it is good and that it’s quite cheap too since the prices have fallen. My Dad is one those persons who once sees a thing can’t resist buying it. He is just like me technology fascinates him. And when he saw the monitor there was no question of thinking again. He told the guy to prepare the bill. He had two choices at first one was Samsung and other one was ViewSonic, he likes the widescreen on his laptop so went with Viewsonic as it was a widescreen one. I got it for around 9500 Indian Rupees. My keyboard was cheaper as I got it for 500 Indian Rupees. So all in all I have a totally new PC, and my old Compaq is now a total scrap. I might change my mouse soon which is white in colour, but then I will have to think of a new name for my PC. The old name B ‘n’ W is still good with the white mouse. So till next time when I think of anything good to post bye.

Vacations are the most interesting and yet boring thing that happen in ones life when one is in Schools and Colleges. We spend the whole year waiting for the darn vacations to start and when they do, we get bored just after the first 5 days or so(even less in my case). Half the friends go to some place ad we are left alone to do nothing for a month or so. So what do we do at such a time? Quite simple, we follow the 10 ways to kill time.
- Visit relatives living near-by:- Visit all the relatives and family friends that live near-by to you and bore them to death with your talks. If you are not good at talking just go to their house watch T.V, eat food and then come back to your home. You can pass time like this for atleast 1 or highest 2 weeks.
- Computers:-Play on computer, join as many forums as you can, join as many social networking sites as you can, blog 5 times a day, piss your net friends off on all the IMs by sending silly messages. You can actually try to reach the 2 GB limit of gmail too which will definitely take a long time. Read the whole wikipedia if you feel like reading anything. Re-re-re-install your windows as many times as you want. Comment on as many blogs as you can.
- Movies:- Watch as many movies as you can at some small movie theatre as it will cost you less. Watch them even if they are some silly C-grade movies. Watch two movies a day and have fun for whole vacation.
- Run around: You can just run around you city, whole day and go to your house only for dinner and sleeping. If you are fat, you will soon become slim and if you are slim you will soon have anaemia.
- Dates:- If you are having lots of money then you can think about going on dates everyday, you can make it a whole day date, that way you can spend all day with someone without getting bored(other than the fact that you have to listen to all the stuff that girl will say,if you are a guy). It would be a cheaper or free idea for girls.
- Gangs:- If you are friends with the big guys with big gangs then you can hang out with them and do all the cool stuff they do. You can help them bash someone or just plunder anything.
- Delay:- Try to everything that you normally do by taking exactly double the time. If you brush in 10 minutes then brush for 20 minutes, if you take a bath in 15 mins take atleast 30 minutes. If you type at 60 words per minute make it 30 words per minute. Delay every damn thing and you will never know when the days passed by.
- Go to some place:- Go to any vacation destination and have a blast rather than sitting at home or visit your native place or something.
- Take pictures:- If you have a very good camera then get out of your house and try to take a very good picture. And if you are very bad at taking picture then it will be an advantage as you won’t be able to take a good picture in a month so you will just continue that everyday.
- Rob:- If your country counts robbing as a legal act then rob each and every store outside till you have looted all the shops out there.
Well, it seems Jamaican Police after their intensive investigation for three days they have concluded that Bob Woolmer died under mysterious circumstances and that it suggests its murder. This is what the cricketnext site says about Woolme’rs death as said by Jamaican Police officials:
The police termed the nature of death as “suspicious” and said it is
possible that Woolmer’s food was poisoned. They, however, clarified
that suspicion doesn’t necessarily mean a negative outcome.
It seems there has been a rumour on the rumour-mill about Woolmer that he was about to burst the bubble of some Pakistani players who were indulged in Match-Fixing.
Though it’s not a confirmed rumour but that is the only present rumour that tells why he could have died. There is also some news about him writing a book detailing about these things which could have really shown some light on the match-fixing matters.
It was earlier reported that he was found unconscious in his hotel room and was declared brought dead in a Jamaican Hospital. Actually the defeat
of Pakistan could have been a good way to put an end to his life by anyone who didn’t want to him to live. But, it might simply be a case of suicide as nothing is proved exactly.

Well, India is definitely gripped in the Cricket World Cup fever. We are one of those proud countries who ditch their own National Game(Hockey in India’s case) for some other game(Cricket here). Most of the Indians consider Cricket as religion in India and the players have god like status. Like everyone in America knows how to play baseball, here in India everyone knows hot to play cricket.
Though I am not a big fan of games, I also know how to play cricket. In India when something has such cult following, what happens when they loose a match is quite predictable. In India’s first World Cup match against Bangladesh they lost very badly. Well, in most cases it would mean heart broken supporters but it was quite different here, many supporters enraged burned their effigies and even did some serious damage here and there. No one in India, ever considered the fact that actually the Bangladeshi were just better than India. Indian cricketers spend their time with TV ads and stuff, whereas I guess the Bangladesh players might have spent their time practising as hard as they can.
Indian people can’t come to terms that they lost not because of anything else but them. Indians gave their players God-like status and actually encouraged them to take on Ads. Indians always do this with players by taking them to the highest spot available and dropping them from that position in time. Like it happened to Sourav Ganguly and Virendra Sehwag.
Advertisers and all the ad campaigns take front seat in players pressing agendas and cricket takes a back seat. You can’t blame a coach if his players are not practising. These guys appear in almost all of the ads that come on TV and now-a-days these guys have become party animals too. I don’t blame them for being party animals, but after doing so many things how do they find the time for the practice sessions.
I get it that it’s hard, I men when people bitch about you but the thing is that they lost to a team which is lot less experienced compared to them. Bangladesh won sheerly by efforts which was not at all present on the Indian side. I hope they don’t loose to Bermuda too, as it would be nothing but insulting loosing to first timers too.
