admiration .. dissapointment ..anger


I'd like to say that i'll b a Kolkata Knight Rider fan ( and SRK ) forever even if that means facing zillions of ppl who ridicule my choice . First of all i just wanna say that no one is forced to support a team. So if ur from Mumbai and u dont really like the way Mumbai Indians play , then be open about it ya! 
Before the start of IPL 2 , i , like everyone ( including KKR n SRK haters ) had huge expectations from KKR - some ppl ( like me ) expected fireworks ON the field while some ( SRK haters ) OFF the field ( controversial statements , pissing off some other celeb , etc .) Yes , KKR has failed in delivering both of them but i must say that this season the team isn't fully loaded ( as the new advt suggests) . Two important batsmen - Ponting &  D. Hussey -  are playing for their country and so are Gul & Akhtar - KKRs leading bolwers.
So at the start of the tournament i was filled with admiration ( remember the match where KKR fought till the end and won it despite it not being  decisive ). I admire that fighting spirit ( the fact that i'm a HUGE fan of the owner is another reason ).
That admiration slowly turned to dissapointment when KKR started losing matches - two in a row ! 
This dissapointment is slowly turning into anger because of the ' background forces ' ( read : MI fans ) .
Lets hope that KKR doesn't end up like lst season and improves match after match.

How do you feel without a cellfone?

I know i know you must've been there and done that but it was the first 'major' irresponsible thing i've done (well i conveniently don't remember the other incidents ).

How it happened - well, i left it in a rickshaw while going to my friend's place. Didn't even realise how and when my precious ( i realised it after i lost it ) phone slipped away,a part of the blame should go to my slippery track pants though.So minutes after i realised that 'this' had happened, i tried callin my number but every man on the street knows that the first thing to do when u find a lost phone is to throw away the sim card.But the poor rickshaw driver didn't realise that . But he was no siant and eventually did find my phone lying in the back seat.

(Sighs) I'm still trying to recover from the incident.Even now, whenever i put my hand in my pocket, i get shocked for a moment as to where my phone is!I'm slowly trying to recover and adjust to this world where i can't contact people in the same building but on different floors.No alarms,no scheduler,no notes or memos (watched Ghajini recently so..) etc etc.I can go on with the pros of having a cell phone but the peace of mind you get with no ringing of loud ringtones n stuff, it relaxes you.
Though temporarily , i enjoy being without my cellphone.Okay then i'll leave on this though.I've got a call to attend.Hail landlines.....
