From one magnam opus to another money-churner

Here it is ! India had moved on from the enthralling World Cup win, and was beginning to move on with the enjoyment.

But then came the annual money-churning machine of India - The IPL. And this time, with the teams coming fresh after newly roped in auction "commodities" (sorry, players), and many teams coming with a new look with sparkling jerseys. And another change from the previous 3 versions of the IPL was that, there were two more teams in addition to the league this time. The Pune Warriors India and the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.

So the vacation bandwagon has a different timing, With a couple of players opting the IPL over their national boards, there is certainly the controversy that the players are preferring the IPL because of the higher paycheck. Not necessarily. Because since it also is a shorter format, it doesn't require the tough amount of fitness required for the longer formats of the game. Justified enough, but still isn't that much as compared to the pride of playing for the country. But again, it's a personal choice.

Well, till the IPL gets over, the bond with the viewers and their television sets is going to be still strong. And that would be till May-end. So it's going to be pure entertainment !! And will it be a new winner this season as well ? Let's wait and watch.

Should we exist this way ?

The curiosity of mankind with finding Life on another planet has always been there. Various scientific expeditions, telescopes roaming all over the outer space, various researches going on. And often there are reports all over stating that there are life supporting planets many light years away from our own. Considering the philosophical side of it. Suppose if we do come across such a world, where life exists. We as a life form called HUMANS, existing on this third planet of the solar system called Earth. We have our own definitions for things that exist. It was around 5 or 6 years ago that the planet Pluto was deprived of its "planet" status. And there are various things as well, which we define for our own sensibilities. As humans, we are supposed to co-exist with all the fellow living beings on the Earth. But that's not what is happening. Just wonder, that one day, we do discover that there is a life-existing planet other than ours, and there is a life-form as well...

My Book Review : A Walk to Remember

                                        A Walk to Remember - Nicholas Sparks      A beautiful love story about a teenage couple. It shows how Love can Happen. It shows that there aren't any preconditions for love. There is no criteria for that so and so characteristics of two persons should meet and that they must gel with each other well. Nothing. Love just Happens. That's what the book explains. But it is a sad story, and realizing the true value of love, is what it does. It nearly brought me to tears. First time for me, by a book.

Achieved!

After a whole series of 7-8 months of learning, it's finally done. I have completed the technical certifications which I had been pursuing! Yippee! It feels good to be an internationally certified candidate. What after this, you may ask. Ahead lies another journey. It's back to learning in a college life. I would be pursuing my Masters. And I am thrilled about it!! It would involve learning new things, and there is the excitement of meeting new people. Looking forward to it.
