IPL4

It's over. IPL-4 is over and Chennai Super Kings have proved beyond any doubt that they are Champions. They really played well. While I'm happy that they won, I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't another team that had won the cup this year. Had  some other team won this year, it would have been good for cricket I feel.

I'm also sad that IPL is over. It took care of most of my evenings. Somehow, one does not feel guilty sitting for hours in front of the TV watching sport. Watching movies somehow seems like a waste of time. Ah well.... all good things need to come to an end sooner or later.

Our Honourable Leader

It seems that sycophancy is part of the Indian character. But it still pisses me off.  It's disgusting how people fawn  over public figures. Rahul is trying to put a stop to it in his sphere of influence. And by and large Congressmen  and Congresswomen no longer sound  sycophantic these days.

But listen to those who have joined the TMC and you understand why I feel so disgusted. Amit Mitra can't seem to utter a single sentence without mentioning "our great leader, Mamata Bannerjee"... I thought he was the exception. But everyone of the new ministers I've seen on TV seem  to have been bitten by the same  bug!

It's sad that from  DIDI she has now become "our honorable Leader". I'm afraid this might lead to her eventual downfall.

What's wrong with me?

Wonder what's wrong with me. I wake up but feel sleep deprived. Can't continue in bed. And yet, soon after breakfast I simply can't seem to keep my eyes open! This has been going on for a while now -- in fact, ever since I  came back to Bolpur on the 15th.

And then I've lost interest in reading! Or watching TV or even cooking and eating or meeting or mating.... what's wrong with me?
