Finally a win for Indian cricket

I felt it was just a matter of time before the Indians found their form.
Actually, it doesn't really look like they have found their form yet, but
they certainly have found their tempo and their spirit. The urge to win
seemed to be missing for quite some time, but yesterday it was there. Right
from the time when Saurav Ganguly came out to bat the Indians looked like
they were going for the kill. And when Rahul Dravid scored 25th run by
running his 25th single, it was certain that the pitch was not good for
batting.
I missed the opening spell of Nehra and Pathan, but from what I heard after
the match, it looks like the pace bowlers are back in business. Vaughan and
Giles did put up a fight, but they were not really going to be able to lift
the tempo when the required rate crept up on that pitch. And thats where they
faultered.
A good victory for India after a long wait!

An 'eye opener' Let's say that you are teaching a class. Let's say that you are teaching Unix. You have drawn a neat sketch of the inode-wise layout of the disk and you are explaining the concept of the hierarchical filesystem and directories and inodes and hard and soft links with the help of your neat diagram. Suddenly you discover that one of the students is not getting the whole picture ... because he can't see ... *because he is blind*. At that moment I didn't really feel the impact because I was too engrossed in the subject, too engrossed in teaching. But the whole thing really hit me hard on the bus ride home. A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...

Dumb and dumber

I think I gave myself the proof that my dumbness is unparalleled. There are two independent queues in our canteen for getting food coupons. After waiting in the first queue, for some reason, I decided to spend another fifteen minutes in the second one. I realised my stupid mistake when I reached the counter and the lady asked me what I wanted. I said 'nothing' and proceeded to the food counter, leaving the lady wondering what the hell had just happened. It going to be difficult to beat this act of stupidity!
