What makes Inventions happen in the US

Sometimes I wonder how the US manages to have so much information and they pioneer in most of the inventions. One of my colleague told me the other day during a lunch that the US goverment funds to research about every damn thing. You ask them a statistic how many people below the age of 18 have too much of potato chips a day, chances are that they will have the information available in a mouse click.

Its exactly these kind of statistical analysis that points out a pattern and shows certain necessity. When the necessity is identified it leads to an invention - as the saying goes "Necessity is the mother of all inventions". Hope India grows to have such kind of statistics taken in the future.

Daada Dropped Again

Daada is dropped for the England series saying that youngsters ought to be given chance. I am also one among the umpteen Daada fans got shocked by this exclusion. What is baffling is the reasons given by the bunch of jokers. Kiran More says that the same yardstick cant be applied to Sachin. Guys watch out. Sachin will score one hundred in the series against England and rest all scores will be less than 30. Even that hundred will come in a match that is of least significance. Media will jump up and down saying Sachin is the greatest of all and he is able to comeback in adversities. If Daada does the same thing the statement thats given is scoring one hundred in 10 matches is not enough and he should show consistency. This should be the joke of the millenium. Hope the media stops over rating and over hyping about Sachin. Lets wait and see whats going to be Daada's future.

In my opinion he should consider the so many fans he has won and the so many people who care for him as the greatest things he earned in his life and peacefully retire now. Its no point in fighting against a bunch of jokers.

On Cricket

Missed the whole Indo-Pak series as I was dropped into a country that doesnt know CRICKET. These people play a funny game called NFL. I could only watch some clippings of this series, thanks to CNN IBN and its free video service. One of my friend sent this Wikipedia link about street cricket. Brought back the nostalgic memories of the childhood days and the street crickets. I would say I had used almost 95% of the terms described here. Read this at leisure.

A Post to Show my Absolute Vetti-ness

I am getting bored to death here in Boston and hence started to scribble something here. Today being a holiday here on account of President's day (BTW who celebrates that here !!!!) I had to sit out whole day vetti infront of my TV and my laptop in my hotel room. What can I pen here? Mmmm. I am not even getting a topic. Watched Idhaya Thirudan over the weekend.
