Its just a game and no one should die for it!!!!

Bob Woolmer shouldn't have died, shouldn't have been killed. The motive is unclear, speculation and roumours are flying around. Just when Cricket was getting back its clean image, the cricketing whites have been tarnished once again.

Should the World Cup be cancelled, postponed, played after a couple of months??? I just know no player, no coach is bigger than the game itself but Robert Andrew Woolmer was the game.

He deserves better

Nev and his mom were eating at Navratna, one of the most expensive south-indian restaurants in Vashi, when a waiter came up to him and wished him Namaste and actually smiled at them. Nev looked up and thought ok, this must be some new customer service thingie and smiled back and mumbled hello and the poor waiter (with the same gleam in his eyes) asked him, "Pehchana nahin?" (Didn't you recognise me) . Nev's mom instantly broke in a large smile and recognised him as the water-boy in another restaurant who used to carry water around to all the tables. Earlier, when we stayed in Vashi, we used to frequent this place and sometimes place orders and this young kid in half-pants and always with a smile would be carrying our dal-chawal-sabji-roti almost every day!!!

Well after seeing him in 4 years, this lil kid has grown and is married and yup, still working his butt off to bring a smile to everyone he serves!!!

Just came back from hibernation ...
