Euro 2008


So finally the much awaited European championship made a grand entrance at the world stage in all its glory and i enjoyed the games pretty much...so far so good..With no British team good enough to qualify for this event and France looking out of sorts, I feel Portugal will win the tournament by defeating Spain in the finals. The four expected semi finalists will be France,Germany,Portugal and Spain.

The tournamanet would definitely miss the pesence of England. As one of the biggest nation in world football, Englands absence would affect the tournament financially.Never the less, I still think that it would be a great tournament.

The only other worrying factor in the Euro 08 could be the defensive tactics practised by the teams oflate, which can ruin any viewers day (including mine). The previous dull edition of EURO 04 and the dismal UEFA champions league (including the final) are making me vary of this edition.Will this time it would be any different? Only time will tell. I hope i am proved wrong.

Plz don go.....

Test cricket's legendary bowler, Shane Warne retired from international competition after the Ashes 2006, thus marking the end of the most glamorous and controversial carrers in the sports glorious history. I think Shane Warne is the grestest cricketer ever (from the time i am watching and following cricket) and it was the perfect retirement party for the showman who made is debut against India way back in January 1992. To take 1000+ wickets in both the versions of the game is simply breathtaking and salute to your versatility, skills, hardwork, mental strength and flexibility. This once-in-life time champion will continue to inspire a generation of kids to take up the art of leg spin. Thanks Warne for giving us everything you could ever give and in the process entertaining millions worldwide and i was privileged enough to watch ur flippers, zooters, wrong uns with bated breath. i just wish u were an Indian !!!

Pascal's Wager

It refers to the argument put forward by famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal to help a person arrive at the decision on the existence of GOD You better believe in god, Pascal argued, because if you are right, you stand to gain eternal bliss and if you are wrong it wont make any difference, anyway. But if you don't believe in god and if you turn out to be wrong, you are eternally damned, whereas if you are right, it makes no difference.

What are you going to be ?

The society around us has defined leadership in millions of ways and even when you search for the definition of a leader, google comes up with this - a person who leads or commands a group or an organization and that's were the narrative fails, if you ask me. A true 'leader' is the one who strives to create an environment where people can express themselves fearlessly, a trait which is very rare in a corporate world and usually not associated with being a leader but then that's where the 'difference of opinion' arise.  We have always associated a leader with a larger than life image who is followed by everybody but in reality what we need is a person who can lift everybody around him and make them even more smarter, and bigger. He gets the desired results but at the same time makes his team/people even better than he found them. A leader will always look and protect his tribe. On the other hand, managers get a set of tasks done by their employees on a daily basi...
