Changing face of Indian Cricket.....

I would be honest here - I am not as crazy about cricket as some of my other friends who would give away anything just to watch a match. blame it on the last few years. Once upon a time I used to play this game every single day but during college and beyond it all just became distant....

Off lately we had seen a lot of change in the Indian Cricket team and many of the original stalwarts have gone making room for a new generation of cricketers... nothing wrong with that.. but for people who used to identify Indian cricket with these stars its a shift which would take time to adjust to.

Without writing any further on this, I would direct you to an amazing article on this in CricInfo.... The author writes beautifully and echoes sentiments of a lot of Indian people for whom Cricket is synonymous to nothing short of a religion....

Love and Hate

While surfing at the local library, I accidentally pounced upon this post Love and Hate on one of the top economic blogs - Marginal Revolution (#2 in fact based on Technorati rankings). Please don't ask me what was it doing in a blog dedicated to economics!!

For lazy bones who don't want to take pains of linking to another site this is what it says -
According to some recent scientific study, there is a thin line between LOVE and HATE. The same brain circuitry is involved in both extreme emotions - but hate retains a semblance of rationality.

Dunno how authentic was the study and the parameters considered but it is an interesting observation. We seldom know/understand why we love someone but generally are sure of what we hate in a particular person/thing!

Just my 2 cents...............
