Not sure about the Title

Its amazing how the world wide web has affected all of us. Take for example, Iain O'Brian. He is a kiwi cricketer - a bowler to be precise - who writes a blog after each day of cricket he plays. He has quite a few followers now - including me. The guy is really honest about himself and writes some good stuff. His blog is essentially an account of the match from say New Zealand point of view. How they feel about their situation, their opponent, their winning and losing ! It gives you a point of view which you can never get other then from an honest player who is more than happy to share his joys and sorrows on the cricket field with the rest of the world. As of today, he has some 227 followers of his blog and I won't be surprised to know if there are more Indians then Kiwis in those 227. Could you imagine such a thing 10 years back? This is the today's WWW and amazing tools like blogger which have brought all of us so close to each other and affected so much.

We drove to Hartford, CT yesterday to attend a 1st birthday party of Kunal and Aarti's son Aarya. Aarti is a very close childhood friend of Poonam. The drive took little more than we expected but it was a fun outing. Poonam was very happy upon meeting her close buddy the pain of driving was definitely worth that happiness. It was the first time both of us went to CT for that matter and we liked the quiet downtown of Hartford. We went to Anup-Reshma's place in the afternoon. We chatted(I hope grammer is right there :P ) for a while, played some card games and finally headed to an Indian restaurant to eat dosas. mmmmm they were really yummy. loved it. We went to Veggie Express in Hackensack and would love to go there again.

Picking up from my last blog, India finally managed to save that test match thanks to splendid innings by the 'new Wall' - a title given to classy Gambhir by the captain Veeru. We are doing very well in the 3rd and final test and looks like we should win it convincingly from now on. We are leading by more than 500 runs lead on the board. We haven't declared yet but we will soon this morning and then it shouldn't be too long before Bhajji wraps up their tail. Exciting !! Looking forward to a big series win in the New Zealand after 40 something years.

hmmmmm.... didn't watch any movies this week but loved watching 24. The series is getting more and more exciting and I can't even remotely afford to miss it. Listened to songs of Jai-Veeru in the car on the way to CT and we really enjoyed listening to Tennu Le. Planning to catch a flick now - most likely its going to be Aa Dekhene Zara as Poonam wants to see it. I am more keen on watching Barah Aana, but may be some other time.

I believe the toughest thing about blogging is giving title to your post. Its hard for me to write about just one particular subject for the entire blog so picking the blog title always ends up being tough. I have noticed Amitabh Bacchan never gives a title to his blog posts. He write one every day so I believe he is also in the same boat as me. So, I think I am going to just give some random title to my blog today.
