Hockey is second best when it comes to popularity with Indian sports fans. Today at the Major Dhyanchand stadium India beat Pakistan 7-4. What a margin man, it was great to get to know that we beat our arch rival albeit in our own den to storm in the Semis. Now the big question can we forget the 2-5 trashing given by the Aussies in the opening round ?

I am just waiting for that to happen. Another moment of joy was Sachin passing 14,000 runs in test matches.... land mark after land mark conquered with no competition. The closet rival was Ponting who seems to be a tad bit out of touch. Will he get at least a close second ? I doubt if he can.

Navratri

Navratris began yesterday and with it the Private Clinics have geared up to cater to the increased number of abortions. Also Dandiya Mandals have set up Condom Vending Machines. The Mumbai District Aids Control Society said they did it last year as well.

What a pity, what a distortion of religion. The entire nine nights were supposed to be for offering your prayers to the Goddess. But sadly we have made this a mega entertainment show.

Unofficial data says that abortions are up by 10% in the two months after Navratri. Is this what was expected as an outcome of these pious nine days ?

Commonwealth Express

I was happy to view the opening ceremony of Commonwealth Games 2010. Let us hope India wins and wins in a big way. This would surely help in erasing Kalmadis Jokes !!
