The flight which was supposed to take me to Hyderabad was delayed by an hour due to delay in the incoming flight; at least that was what announced. Since it was quite early in the morning, I didn't bother to go and ask for explanation, in fact i was hoping it gets delayed further. Finally it arrived after another 2 hours, but that is different matter. Around 30 minutes later the airlines office announced further delay of another hour I almost laughed. The announcement ran like this”We regret to announce 2 hours delay to our flight ABC coming from Muscat and traveling to Hyderabad. We request passengers to walk towards the nearest cafe coffee day outlet and have some coffee to pass this time.”
And the thing that made me laugh was passengers queuing up outside the cafe coffee day outlet.

Two days and two retirements from the cricketing circles.
While both were least expected at the time, the retirement of Harmision came as a bit of surprise. Agreed the bowler was struggling at recent times, but given his capabilities he could easily have overcome his poor form. And the fact that he is just 28, he would have had a good amount of cricket left in him.
About the other, probably everybody would have known by now. Considering the sublime form he has had so far, and over past 15 years, Shane Warne could have easily been in the side for some more time. Australia will feel the loss of one of the biggest spinner. And if the roumers surrounding retirement of McGrath comes true, it will be a double blow to them. Imagine two of the best bowlers retire from the team at the same time just before the world cup starts.
I guess if a bowler of shane warne's capability had been in india and he had announced retirement at such a time there had been protests against his decision.0Add a comment

Isn't it contrasting styles between the last two captains of Indian cricket team.
When Sourav Ganguly was captain of the Indian cricket team, as a whole team used to perform well except him.
When Rahul Dravid is captain of the Indian cricket team, he performs but the team does not.0Add a comment

Google sometimes brings out really cool stuff. They came up with orkut, which was meant to be a site dedicated to the friends. You create your account, find your old friends, add them to your friend list and be assured that wherever they go you will always be in contact with them, provided your friend also uses orkut regularly.
There is something called as your 'fans' in orkut, you get to know how many admirers you have. I have seen many times people becoming your fans. And also when you don't become their fan, they are then no longer your fan. Becoming somebody's 'fan' is your personal decision and is not dependent on whether the other person is your fan or not. For few, it is a status symbol that I have so many admirers.
Now I know why few people have so many admirers !!0Add a comment

There's this 'Chaat-wala' I visit many times in a month. Being one among his hundreds of customer I don't even know whether he realizes that I buy from him many times."
"Bhaiyaa, namak jyaada ho gaya hai aaj."
"Mar daalna hai kya, kitni mirch dali hai. Chal ek puri khila, mithe ke saath."
"Dahi thik nahi hai aaj."
"Agale baar se thoda tez banaya karo."
"Roj ke samaan aajki baat nahi. Puri taazi hain na?"
are few of the dialogues that he listens every often. I guess he has become immune to these kind of dialogues. His response is also predictable, flash a smile, be polite and mutter something of the kind "sirji, agale baar se dhyaan rakhenge".
That day when i said, "Aaj ke dahi-puri ekdam badhiya bani hain". He started with the same response just when he was about to say "Agale baar se ....", he realised the meaning. His smile changed. I guess he never expected any such comment, he was at loss of words. He wanted to say something, but couldn't form a sentence completely. He finally gave up and i noticed he was smiling and in pleasant mood for long time.

Little something for the brain.
I found this small puzzle on the net. It's a twenty-three page puzzle. All you have to do is keep reaching the next page till you reach the end. There is no direct link to the next page but there exists certain relation between two successive pages which will guide you to the next.
Reaching first eight pages should be elementary.
So, here you go: Hacker's Puzzle
If the puzzle does not open, copy paste this link in your browser: http://www.freestuffhotdeals.com/hacker/1.html
