Over a period of time, i have lost all interest in watching any sport on the TV. I mean am a guy, n guys are supposed to love sports, aren't we? So why is that i cant find any adrenaline rush whatsoever in them? i know some of my friends who are crazy about F1, some about Football, n Most about Cricket.. few about tennis too.. let me tackle each of them one by one.. starting with the most ridiculous of them all.. the F1.
I mean what is it about that game people! there are cars going about n circle for ages! some of them crash( which is awsome i must admit :) ) , but on the whole its pretty much the zoo zoo zooooo zoooo sound most of the times! it gets so irritating after a point of time with the constant humm of those cars.. i seriously cant think of any reason why anybody puts through so much of pain.. well if you are the driver, i can completely understand the rush, but whats the point of sitting at home like a pom pom holding cheerleader!
Next comes football.. ok i admit its really good to watch somebody scores an acrobatic goal or shows some real good skills with the ball, n as i game i can watch it.. its sensible becasue its a short game, gives u some rush n so its paisa vasool.. but what i dont understand here in india is the club loyalty.. people literally lash out at each other in favour of their respective clubs! where do you find so much passion for an unknown country( most of the times only city clubs!) n what reasons are those loyalty based on that people get so emotional about it?? never really understood all the fuss about supporting one team n "hating" the other. as a game, i quite like watching it, but if you say you "follow" football, dude,i dont know why.
ah, that brings me to Cricket, India's unofficial national game.
i once quite used to enjoy watching cricket, it used to be a nice family affair, where my parents used to allow me to watch the first 10 n the last 10 overs.. so it was almost like 20 20 for me back when one days were still played( can you remeber the last one day match that TEAM india played?? against whom was it? i guess it was in the stone age) anyways, coming to the point here, cricket is a very nice game and all, n i understand the feeling of national pride when india plays, n i do feel happy when we win, or sad when our neighboring country wins ( am not sad if India looses, its a game common!) , but then somehow i could never understand the concept of IPL. is it supposed to be like the ranji trophy of 20 20 international? what are those foreigners doing here then? and dont get me started on team loyalty please..if you are watching the match, watch it for the quality of cricket. but then if you take out the competetive edge in sports( both for the viewers and the players) it pretty much takes away all the excitement from the game.
And that my dear friends is the exact problem i have with sports! i cant seem to decide whom am supporting and for what reasons?! may be some day i will find that reason which might make me "follow" a certain sport. Till then, thats the way it is :) ( cliche :P)

Ramblings
why the hell are you on my blog! get out right now, this is a personal space !
ok, just kidding, if u have faaltu time, while it away reading this absolutely no brainer of a blog.
anyways,am in a stupid training room, in which am supposed to do some moronic workshop, in which i have absolutely no interest. that brings me to the eternal problem in my life. "What do i want to do"?
if I was twelve,the answer would have been so much more simple!
Sample answer: i wanna own a big house, a big car, a big ..umm( ok as a twelve year old i cant mention girls, may be if i was 16..anways lets not divert here ;) ) , an xbox, a Nintendo wii( oh those things are sooo cool!) etc etc.. the list is endless..
but cut to reality, am not twelve anymore :( so I'll have to act all mature n say that... i want a job with a really BIG salary! ( so that i buy all that i wanted if i were twelve :P , but anyways). i can hear you say "this isn't a mature answer!" .. but yea, its an honest answer..so the discussion ends here..
but the question now is how do you define a "BIG" salary? i mean i could buy everything i wanted right now too ( albeit on credit :P ) but then wouldn't there will be something more that i will always want? materialistically speaking of course :p
so as i type, i think about what would really be enough, when will i be able to say that yes i have achieved what i wanted to in life.. or would i just keep running around till i tire out.. i guess its too early to think abt this while you are still running :).. okay, enough of the philosophical bull crap.. ( bull shit is so overly used!)
on the job front, life is still good ( no am not working for LG) .. am still with amdocs, enjoying my job ( hey am still at work while typing this!) sometimes its truly hectic n other times it is really chilled out.. so work life is kinda ok, with decent pocket money flowing in from the salary..n a few "phoren" trips did help ;)
personal life cud never have been better ;) , if u know me, u already know what or whom am referring to and if u don't,.. well u don't really care den.. P.s- Dad, if u get to read this n u will obviously tell mom.. i am not going to talk about this :) .
ok, this is it for now.. hopefully with all the time on my hand, i sure hope to blog something really interesting, as soon as i can think of something.. gosh it feels good to be back to my blog!!
