Sachin aaila re...

The match at the Wankhade on the 20th was worth remembering. That Zandu showed us every nook and corner of the ground in their score of 340 odd in 45 overs is another matter. We closed the game at 240 in 45 overs. A tough task but not an impossible one. We gave away too many runs in the first session, through bad fielding. Opening the innings I hit a 32 before getting run out. Chandan, the centurion of the league games proved his immense talent through another well crafted 71. My word of appreciation for the Lupinytts who spent the day with us at the Wankhade.

Just a day before, I compered the annual day function of Lupin. It was a good learning experience. There were words of appreciation for whatever little I did on that day. A nice feeling.

Wankhade

Will it be or will it not be? We have qualified for the finals of the E Merck Cup and the final is slated to be held on 20th March. The finals is not as much of an attraction as much as the venue in itself . There is a very high probability of it being played in the hallowed turf of Wankhade. To smell the grass of one of the most revered test venues in the country will be an honour. One last time and I can once again think of hanging up my boots:-)

Rajan has got interview calls from IIM K & L.It is definitely a positive sign considering his prolonged efforts.Just today I learnt that a person I knew at DRL is no more. He must have been in his late 30s.Life is just a reveller in many ways...And man continues to plan things out...

Anand's 10 std exams are on...10th was considered to be the first of the most important exams in one's life.Academically ofcourse:-) Btw one of the things I learnt recently was that generation has a 23 year life span. Until I come across another verified number, this will be my take too!

The UEFA return leg is this week. Should be interesting.
