Is it end of Sachin?

Friday 23rd March,2007 went home early from office....
Was expecting a great match between India and Sri Lanka...
India won the toss and put SL into bat, one thought came to mind Is Dravid making a mistake that Azhar did in WC,96 Semifinal? How much captain and how team mgmt responsible for this decision?
Match started well Indian bowlers did well to send top 3 SL batsmen (Jaysuriya,Jayawardene,Sangakara) in less than 100...
I still don't understand when all spinners get wickets on WI tracks then what is the problem with Bhajji..When Bangala spinners took 6 wickets this guy could not manage a Single...
Middle Order of Lanka survived the threat of our World Class spinner Bhajji...
Thanks to Sachin who broke next partnership...
At end 255 was getable target I thought and was happy with Indian bowling and was sure that star studded Indian Batting will definitely bat solidly in this crucial match...

But everybody gave shocks after one another...
After Dhoni's wicket I could not watch match futher..
Most disappointing event was Sachin's wicket.Again the gap between bat-pad and we saw his stump getting uprooted..

When Sachin did a comback last year and scored his 40th and 41st centuries I thought he is back with Bang and he can save India in crisis in this WC as being his last WC.
Sachin who was/is/will be my all time favourite...
As India always looks for a Hero to win something, Is this the end of India's biggest cricketing Hero?
Is it end of Sachin...Only He knows

Ginger Stay

After long 4 months staying alone now I started to realize that how boring is life in a Hotel room, Yes I am talking about my stay in Ginger Hotel in Bangalore.
This hotel is a descent basic hotel which runs on the concept of 'Help youself' (Many must have seen the ad as well)
Anyways I was talking about my stay, just completed 4 months in this place, now getting bored of it. No doubt hotel is good but how many days you can stay in 8X12 room. Nobody to talk and just a TV to watch that too india getting out of WC is more frustrating.
Really counting my days in Bangalore now, don't know when this project will be over and I will out from here.
Forgot to talk about the Food...Ginger serves buffet dinner which I got bored now, during a week 3-4 times they give differant 'Kheers' in desserts, So try to avoid that food and go for 'Andhra Spice'/'Subway'/'Pizza Hut' etc.
Looking forward for my trip to my hometown for brother's wedding.
Missing Pune too much...
Hope will be back there soon.....
