Crib and cricket

What am I doing here when the match between India and England is going to start in 15 minutes ? Crib on others,and that's the topic for today. So you folks can decide at the outset itself, whether to go ahead with the reading or not. Remember, cribbing is one of the pillars on which this blog stands on? For other pillars, go and check your house basement.

And just as other colleagues, I too happened to apply for a product through our company.
Reason: We get it like 25 % off on the market price on the product. ( Oops,trade secret revealed...) Lesson: When you get cheap things, they for sure, 1. Consume your time 2.Test your patience. If you are a kungfu,karate,taekwondo fighter, you want to knock their...beep...off,those people who behave as if they are the Masters and we are the Slaves. Politeness and dignity hardly matter in this part of the world. You are rich, talkative, rustic, bohemian ( and dumb ass ) natured - The answer - Sir, yes sir, anything for you Sir. Soft, cultured, naive and 'he is also a human - let him treat that way' attitude - Sir, all rules for you Sir. I can never understand this disparity between people - laurels for one and rules for the other. Now you know why we are light years behind the Western world despite the media projecting us as,'Yeah, we are inching closer'. We pretend to be fair, but damn, we don't because we cannot. And life goes on.

Yesterdays movie, what's that, I even forgot the name. Oh yeah, Transformers - Spielberg, one of the executive producers. No, it's not Spielberg's name ,that has driven me to the movie, but my colleagues bike did ( attempted joke ) . I went on his bike straight from work. First half was alright.Second half could have been better.The story: Fight between Protectors and Destroyers, both being aliens. Our Sam has a secret that was targetted by the Destroyers that could allow them to be superpowers of the world and our Protectors, do what, Protect the world from destruction.The official name for protectors and destroyers is different in the movie.
Sam saves the world by not letting the cube for which the destroyers are after. Everyone is happy but the audience are not.There were only 10 people in the theater yesterday including the theater care takers. Graphics are fine, climax is predictable. Movie is for 2.5 hours which I felt was longer than long enough. When it comes to movies, I am a critic first. And you talk of any Hollywood movie, all the disasters happens only in USA and around, and its only they who can protect the world with their sophisticated technology ,weapons and stealth bombers. Now, dont ask me, what about 9/11 ?!

Alrightey mates, gotta go, nice weekend. Indian openers are calling. Sachin is trying his best to score a century today as I glance the online scorecard and if he does that, we are going to lose again today !
