Needless to say that the news came as a shock to me! I am one of the many who started listening to english numbers through MJ. Putting aside all the controversies surrounding him, if the whole world is shocked and is mourning the death of "one man" its enough proof to what he has contributed to humanity. Though he is dead, he will live on forever with so much music around. May his soul rest in peace.

Its cricket time.
With IPL followed by T20 world cup, its cricket all over and how can I be not blogging about it :) I am not going to write a match review btw, but just going to jot down couple of cricket related points..
1. Was listening to a discussion in AIR (you read it write, its All India Radio, its still on air) about IPL and T20. Now that kumble has also proved his captaincy by inspiring and leading BRC to the IPL finals, there was question about the difference between Kumble and Dhoni from a captaincy perspective. Spat came the answer, "Kumble leads from the heart and Dhoni leads from his mind. Both are great leaders and know how to get things done, but the primary difference is how they go about it". The 'mind vs heart' comparision was very different and seems to be perfect observation after seeing both of them captain their respective sides.
2. Team India crashed out of the ongoing T20 world cup shattering the hopes of millions of crazy cricket fans. Team India actually won just two matches in this tournament and they were against 'Scotland and Bangladesh'. With due respects to these teams, its fair enough to say that Team India has actually lost in all the really competitive games it has played in this tournament. Time for the players to face the reality and pull up their socks for the upcoming games.
3. Ganguly was seen commenting in the T20 match between SL and WI. Not sure if its an one day affair or if he's really looking into being a commentator! 'All the very best' to dada if he's attempting a new innings.
