Generally I don't play computer games but somehow I got addicted to Windows® Spider - card game, just finished 1000 wins at 40% success rate. Losing 12 games in a streak is very simple as you just have to keep losing but winning 8 games in a streak is never an easy job. I am glad I did it. 39% success, that is the lowest score so far. I don't think I will let it go below that as I am becoming an expert. Sometimes it really tests your patience, 4325 moves, surely more than an hour, I won't think of doing that again. You know, I play only "Difficulty: Four suits". It takes about an hour to finish four games and I have played over 2500 games, the realization hurts - the amount of time I have spent, especially after following lots of time management techniques.

"Indians are very good at playing spinners..." - It is a comment passed by one of the commentator during the Asia Cup 2008 final between India and Srilanka. I was laughing because he was referring to the current Indian ODI team. I don't think any of the players, including Yuvaraj, is capable of handling good spin bowling. I am so curious to see how our OLD people are going to play the Srilankan spinners, especially the new magic Mendis. It could be a wonderful fight as we are meeting the lions in their homeland. Dhoni has taken rest (Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that he couldn't read Mendis bowling). Can Dravid , Ganguly, Laxman and Sachin, Shewag - on his day, do it for India? Or Will Murali and Mendis prove that they are the best spin combination? Though I love to see Sangakkara scoring few centuries (if not double) I should admit that the Indian bowling attack is also not bad. This should be a good series to watch. P.S.: Sachin's quote: I do

If you had a bus travel experience in Chennai, you would be able to get what I am going to say! I don't generally look for a seat in the moderately crowded bus while coming to the office. I prefer standing (that is equally comfortable one for me) for about 40 minutes, in the fresh morning. I know there are lots of people who get annoyed if they don't get a seat as soon as they are in the bus. This is an unwritten(?) rule: You are the owner of it, if you are standing near the seat which is going to be freed. There are professional people who could break this rule if you give them a little bit of chance. The simplest trick is to give your lunch bag/etc., to the person who is seated. He takes care of your bag (of course, will return it!). It is a 'compulsory help' that one ought to do for his co-passenger. When he needs to get down from the bus, your bag books a seat for you. Whom should you give your belongings is where your professionalism shown. Another trick is to look
