What a win!!!

Just saw the Aussies beating Pakistan in a test match. Australia were bowled out for a paltry 126 and conceded a deficit of 206. They were 260 odd for 8 and it looked certain they were on the verge of losing a home test against Pak after 14 years. But an amazing century by Hussy (with a help from Kamran Akmal who dropped him thrice in a day) who pushed the score to 381 along with Siddle and Bollinger. And then an all round performance by their bowlers brought them an unlikely victory. Congratulations to the Aussies!!!

Sawai Ekankika’ 2013

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version. Emotional Atyachar This was a story of an employee in an e-CRM firm which is hired by clients so that someone can communicate with their family.
