Last 21 days were spent in achieving what my last post said -

Winning doesn’t always means being first,

winning means you’re doing better than you’ve done before.

Though I proved myself better than before, once again but also realized that in this race you sacrifice everything else. I myself had given up this zeal long time back, in fact many years back because once you realize that you are the best, better than anyone else, you don’t want to prove it again.

And then moments like these come up where you have to fight for others. You have to do it for others who are looking up to you, to make them prove themselves, to bring them in a position to have same feeling of satisfaction which you have been having for long time. Happy to see my efforts being fruitful.

And in all this, you realize once again, those old bad devilish management layers which are ready to sacrifice you, your people for any meek benefit – the layers which make you hate them!

And that’s what last week was dedicated for. Deccan Chargers played exceptionally well and  no match for that. Here were the teams in IPL final which stood at last two places in last year’s IPL (IPL 2008). What more exciting can be than this?

Thanks to Hema for being another supporter for Deccan against all odds

Enjoyed IPL 2009 thoroughly. Liked the way Namaste was told by representative Mr. Duma. His address was one of the best speeches in IPL I have seen so far. Lots of love all the way to South Africa for hosting this year’s IPL.

PS: Only disappointing thing throughout this tournament was Lalit Modi’s power-show-off. Hope he learns to handle power appropriately or gets taught for same.

The more happy I was for adding 1000 GBs (1TB) of Western Digital to my dear friend’s life and to mine all over once again as well!

PS: Got it little more than the same price on which I had bought 160 GB external HDD in 2006 – I wonder the way gadgets become cheaper but not faster than necessity…

Being a responsible citizen, I voted and was happy to know that average voting in Punjab (65%) was quite higher than most of the states in country.

I believe it as one of the reasons that why Punjab is that ahead of those many states in terms of economy and growth – because people here are more aware and concerned about their rights/duties while states like Bihar (40%) keep asking for special status from centre government so that they can do some growth.

Third round of Parliament Elections in India is about to happen next week and I just wanted to post this request on my blog -

Please cast your vote

After lot of advertisements shown in media and still going on, nation-wide campaigns started by bodies like Tata Industries and Times Of India, I feel quite small to make this request but after reading about just around 50% voting in metro cities like Mumbai and capital Delhi, I feel that perhaps my words might make some difference.

I have been driving everyone in my contact to cast their vote. It is once in five years when you get a chance to correct your mistake and to find what wrong went in the government you voted for, if you give your vote. Otherwise you loose your right to find wrongs in government if you don’t vote at all.

That’s what I believe.

Feels good that if not everyone, some got driven. I am going to my hometown to give my vote on this Wednesday.

In the end, I would request you to please go through this link to find more wisdom on whom to vote

PS: Little disappointment does occur when you know that even in politics, reservation is introduced from back-door and there are seats where candidates only from reserve castes can fight elections but that shouldn’t stop you from thinking about the big picture.
