Karwa Chouth! Yes, today is Karwa Chouth, but my wife don't do fasting. Not because she does not believe in it, but its not celebrated in our family. We have different similar fasting day for women, its Jiutiya. It's a different story that my wife does not do fasting in Jiutiya as well, because she is not into this fasting and all. She prays, but no fasting, believes in GOD, but limited to self prayers only. I truly support her in this.
But, when I am saying its a great day, its not because of Karwa Chouth, but other reasons.
Today, Sachin Tendulkar beats another world record! He beats the highest test cricket score of Brian Lara. He is on top now, but when was he not? I know a lot of people hated him, when he was not playing well or so. But, I always liked him, although I also felt on time that he should take some matches off, to recover in form, which he did not do, apart from breaks forced by injuries. But, even if he is out at 7 runs/10 runs, they way he bat on ground, is awesome to watch! Just great strokes! Its not the run which matters, its the way he take those runs! Take any inning of Sachin, small or long, 5 runs or 150 runs! You will find his batting style worth watching! The problem with 5-10 runs is that you only get to see him play for 10-15 mins. But he has proved again, that he is Sachin! And continues to get out very close to 100 :-)
Today, I had a good meeting in office, I was worried, because I am new and in this meeting, I was left alone by my manager, in front of a different team, along with their business users, and it was related to some back and forth email between my Manager and their manager, on service level agreement between two teams. We send feeds to them, so they are higher in the food chain, and equipped with business users, they were ready to push for harder terms. But I did well. I did ask a senior member of the team to be in the call, for help. But, I did well. We did not agree to any of the non-practical approach. For a person just 6 weeks into the job, I feel good about it.
But, that's not all, Amitabh Bachchan return home today! He was in hospital for 7 days, and we all his fans were praying to
GOD for him. What a relief after almost a week! The only problem is, that he promised to word harder! He needs to understand the importance of relaxing and taking things slowly. He is not getting younger. He continues to work long hours, do not take time-off, then his body will demand it. And the way his body will ask for some time off is painful for him, and for all of us, his fans! He needs to understand it clearly, that he should do limited movies only. Discuss, think and take only quality movies. We, all fans are ok to see him in just 1 or 2 movies in a year, and not in hospital! Hope he listen to us and act accordingly. But, nevertheless, today is a great day!
Yes, What A Day!
