Summers
I love the Summer season. I absolutely love the feeling when you can sleep with the windows open in the night and you can feel the nice breeze. While I grew up, summers were always associated with vacations and you could read a lot of novels from the library, play cricket everyday, watch lot of cricket on TV, and travel to places. So I used to always look forward to the Summer season. One of the biggest draws of the summer season -is Mangoes.

Isn't it funny?
Most of the socio-political revolutions would have started with someone trying to break away from the dictatorial,dynastic,feudal rule of a king/tsar/ imperialist government et al. But it is funny that when these revolutionaries come to power or even when they are fighting for their rights and have not yet succeeded, they try to have the same dynastic, feudal style of leadership and passing the baton.

The good samaritan
In the interests of the continuing (???) psychiatric well-being of some readers (e.g. Anand) it has been decided that there will be no posts on the happenings at the Old Trafford Stadium on Saturday. Some readers would have clearly noticed the almost apologetic tone in which one reader had reminded me the standings in the Premiere League.

Azhar's captaincy
Well, how many of you would have appreciated Azhar's captaincy? I'm sure every spinner who played for India during his time enjoyed his captaincy - in fact every bowler for the fields he would set for them. I think most batsmen too did well under Azhar. I think the biggest plus point for most bowlers used to be the fact that the fielder in slips or somewhere in the ring was probably one of the two best all-round fielders of his time - Azhar himself, the other being Mark Waugh.

Holocaust of our times
I'm a Vegetarian not because it is mandated by my religion/community but because I find the whole concept of killing a living being and eating it, hard to digest. When I read about bird culling to prevent the spread of Bird Flu, I always go back to images of Concentration camps. Aren't we doing the same thing? Hitler probably thought Jews were as bad to the Aryan community. We think the same of the Bird flu affected birds.
