An Open Letter

Dear World,

Each day just goes so fast
I turn around - it's past
You don't get time to hang a sign on me

Love me while you can
Before I'm dead old man

A lifetime is so short
A new one can't be bought
And what you've got means such a lot to me

Make love all day long
Make love singing songs

There's people standing round
Who screw you in the ground
They'll fill your head with all the things you see

I'll make love to you
If you want me too

Warm Regards,
Sleepyface

p.s: this is the lyrics of a song by The Beatles which echoes my thoughts about the world. I deeply feel about the world as mentioned in the lyrics. Don't get me wrong. But, make love singing songs? yeah baby. I'd like to!

Ashish Nehra Totally Rocks!!

He is a very strategic fellow. He would keep the batsmen guessing till the last ball of his spell, in a strategy reserved for the T20s. The first 3.5 overs, he would let them hit boundaries and sixers. The 24th ball, his last in the game, he would bowl a beauty of the delivery and claim his wicket! Who would've thought? Not the batsman, at least...

And then, he is sent 7 down, when the whole world thinks India is losing it. In a swift swish of the bat, he sends the ball packing over the boundary. Two back to back sixers. Back to Back! Believe it or not. Just when he's got control of the game, fearing his strategy will be exposed, his original agenda which is to keep the whole world guessing, he gets out!

I think we are blessed to be living in this era, to see a batsman with such a firm technique and more importantly a strategic player in our side. Hail Nehra!

Nostalgic :)
