I'm Going To Tell You A Secret



Madonna's latest documentary is worth watching and owning. It gives you a peak into all aspects of Madonna's life. You get to see a very mature Madonna with her political & religious views. You get to see the way she values and interacts with each and every person involved with her on tour. More importantly you get to see Madonna's family, her 2 kids and husband, Guy Ritchie and how they influence her life. Madonna herself said 'it's a different me", when asked about the documentary and if you've watched any of her previous ones, you'll know for sure. Madonna proves beyond measure why she is indeed the 'Queen of Pop' and has lasted this long unlike a few other wannabe's. So do watch it & if you can't get hold of the DVD ask me :)

Also worth watching : Truth or Dare

Sport Unlimited !!

June 25, 2006

SCV allowing ESPN -Star Sports broadcast on the non STB platform has allowed me to watch the World Cup from my bedroom. With my desktop now doing the job of a TV and my AC running full blast keeping my room temperature at 16 deg C, my only regret until now was not being able to watch Ten sports as well.

Day 4 of the India vs West Indies game with India deep in trouble and trying to avoid a follow-on. I had to turn to Cricinfo's commentary of the game via my laptop whilst 'On Call' in Gtalk with a certain 'A'. Multi-tasking to the very limit i suppose. ;)

Cricinfo's commentary turned out to be much more entertaining than what the Ten Sports Crew have been dishing out. With Bhaji going into 'Avatar' mode the match suddenly became interesting :

101.2 Taylor to Harbhajan Singh, no run, short of length, on the off and middle, Habrbhajan thinks he is Ponting, goes for a pull shot, gets an inside edge onto his pads.
101.3 Taylor to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, oh ho! this time he has transformed himself into Sehwag. He comes down the track, backs away to the leg side in the process and hits through the line, over mid-off!
101.4 Taylor to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, Ah! this time he is Sachin! slower ball, turned in from outside the off stumo, Harbhajan goes back and punches it wide of mid-off! Super shot.
101.5 Taylor to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, Third four in a row! He walked out, kept his head steady, swatted a fullish delivery on the off stump line, past mid-off again! Can't think of anyone else who could have played that kind of a stroke...
30 more runs to avoid follow-on
101.6 Taylor to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, Holy god! Biffed across the line, past square-leg. It was fullish on the off and middle, Bhaji whacked it, across the line and the ball screamed past square-leg

Beck's Post Match Special !

June 16, 2006

David Beckham's Post Match interview yesterday after England beat T & T 2 - 0 :

"We never give up. That is the message we always give out,"
"We knew it wasn't going to be easy today, people expected it to be easy but we knew if we kept at our game plan we would break them down."

Was There a Game Plan Becks ??? I am still pondering over this ?

"The good thing about the game is that we finished strongly."

Steven Gerrard produced a classic to make it look that way. That was the strong statement, let me play in Lampard's place and make those 12 shots at goal count..

"The manager made good substitutions,"
"It was very positive and we pressed forward from that.

That is Sven's job dummy, Rooney coming on will be a positive for any side, he made you run a bit quicker in the 2nd half and woke you up as well.

"It would be fair to say you've not seen the best of us yet. We know we can get better and we just have to prove it."

Yesterday's performance was the worst, anything better from here will be considered as an 'improved performance'.

Dump Crouch, start with Rooney n Lenon. Put Gerrard in Lampard's place. Owen can swing about. Sven are you listening ??? That should be the GAME PLAN...
