Graceful Disgrace or a Saturday Nightmare !!

Back to present for a few moments....

Just Reffering to the INDIA Vs Bangladesh Cricket Match in ICC WC'07.
U said something ??
Oh! its ok, man!!
Come...Come out of it...
Leave it i say.

Well don't we know...How badly our team Sucks!!
Oh c'mon leave patriotism behind, and just think for one moment, if there was any disciipline in which India hasn't lost to Bangladesh in yesterday's match ??

Well...They played well & they deserved the win didn't they ??
I Think its high time that we leave all our patriotism for the past generation, Lets live in the present.

Well I'm a Fan of the Indian team too...but only if they win or if atleast they play well. But, This time I'm Backing Teams like Bangladesh, Ireland, etc. See the positive side of supporting them, you don't have to be dissapointed if they lose...well they were brought in because they lose...But if they win. Man...its Awesome.

The way yesterday Mortaza bowled was Rocking...The impeccable line and length that he bowled was something of Training Kit for the Indian Quickies (the so called Quickies, mind you mortaza bowled 140Kmph Consistantly).

The composure of the batsman, the efforts they put in the field....everything...They won the match part by part not just innings by innings. The whole day was theirs.

Look at Ireland for eg.; God knows who their Coach is ?? Look at the commitment they had when they got into bat. The responsibility to play a safe innings, in spite of being on the top of th e opposition.

Who ever the Coach is....Please Teach Dhoni how to play Cricket!!
He is just a hitter, he must have been in the Indian Baseball team....unfortunately we don't have one. So, he is in Cricket team. He either must convert himself to a Cricketer from a hitter or else must quit. Please fans Don't fight by showing statistics!! Remember "Statistics are like Mini-Skirts, what they reveal is suggestive but what they hide is Vital"


Luckily I'm not hurt this time, that the indian's have disappointed. I was expecting this for long, and expecting the same from bangla's too. But not at this level, not in the worldcup ofcourse!

Well done UnderDogs.... ( are they UnderDogs anymore ??)

well now that PAK is out of the Tournament & India is getting ready for an early exit. Looks like this world cup is gonna be filled with much more Juice in it than ever before.

How about a finals between Bangladesh & Ireland ???

I would personally Love it.

IJCAI '07 The First Big thing

Probably not the biggest conference that i would attend in my life....or may be it is!!
Who cares...when i have been lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, or IJCAI as it is read as.


huh!!
I just can't explain the grand feeling that i feel.... I remember that.... I have more Esteem than U :D

Life was really Big during those few days...a week full of tired evenings yet rejuvenated selves by the early morning, Back to work...Back to people who really are changing the way we perceive the field of AI. Ofcourse, the platform really setup, and i also got a lot of confidence feeling that i am no less than them. And the kind of work i am doing is worth a mention here.


So many people that i have met....Some very big...some pretty small (as small as iam).....Size measured in Experience here.

People as big as Roman De' Lopez, Manuela Veloso, Fritz, Peter Stone(he's a Gem), Prof. Raj Reddy.....
As small as our friends from Spain Salim Kannaan, J'ose' or even the chineese friend Ricardo...


The moments during the week were really one of the most unbelievable & Unforgettable.


I'm Feeling Lucky.


Following are a few pics...

Note: This should have been here on Jan 15th... :D
it is as old as that!

Bad Habbits Creep in as Laziness starts its endeavour

19th December 2006 it was, when i last posted here. I feel quite sad to say this. I thought i had got a good enough habit to blog out what all i had to...what all i felt from inside...so many things...that nearly go un-said, un-attended...

Now, it still is the same.....
Hence i have realised the importance of this blog...( well ...i mean i have realised yet again )

I am thinking to update it frequently from now on.
For a start i probably should get back to over 3 months now.... Start finding things that are worth mentioning.

I am Expecting a huge amount of posting for the next 2 days!

Cheers!


Note : I know there isn't much common in what the title says and what i have mentioned here. Believe me, i have developed no New Bad Habbit in the last 3 months. For all the Bad Habbits i have had for so many years.... I'm not able to do justice to them itself...where do i get time for new ones! :D
