Things are settling down to a nicety. People are crunching numbers & indulging in all sorts of permuations and combinations on figuring out how India will get into the Super 8.
In Tamil there is a very nice proverb :
கண் கெட்ட பிறகு சூரிய நமஸ்காரம்!! (very loose equivalent to Bolting the barn doors after the horse has bolted!)
Not the least being the ideas about certain individuals from BCCI talking to people in Bangladesh Cricket and Sri Lanka Cricket to ensure that things go well for the New Blues.
Well anything is possible in cricket - or rather, in the cricketing world ;-)
As predicted both Australia and England have gotten through their minnow quota without much ado. (What ever happened to John Davison? Turning out to be that one-match wonder :-()
Now for the Can-You-Do-It-Without-Googling Trivia...
(Just to show that there is life outside cricket, however small! No points; Pure quizzing!)
Answer to yesterday's question: They are all types of clouds.
A very interesting quip from Peruri was that Nimbus is Harry Potter's broom, Stratus is the company that produces(d) fault tolerant computers, and Cumulus and Cirrus are some obscure Roman warriors :-) Of course, he knew the correct answer.
Quite a few got this right: Subra, Krish, Peruri, Ganesh TCS, Anand Re (he was teaching his daughter about clouds in Science I believe. See? You get your knowledge from all corners of life.) Good show.
Today's question:
- What is round, 1 inch thick, 3 inches diameter, made of vulcanized rubber and rhymes with probably, the most-used four-letter word? Now, Erase Lewd Thoughts!
Keep the answers rolling into the usual mailing address. Three prizes at the end of the world cup for the best performer.
Until the next one...
P.S. I was heartened to have received several SMSs yesterday saying that they were refreshing the blog many times to get the latest position and asking me why it was getting delayed and they started asking at 8:00 am! High Enthusiasm. High Expectations. Period.
