While I was away...

Jeez,I am so sorry to have left for a vacation unannounced. A detailed description will follow but before that some pressing matters need to be addressed
1) India is out of the world cup.
I don't know why there is such a hue and cry about such a non issue. It was never about winning the cup, the world cup is always about scoring brownie points over Pakistan and didn't we do it in style. Unlike Pakistan we did not lose to a non test playing country but to Bangladesh which is ranked a very respectable 10th among the test playing nations. By trouncing Bermuda we let the whole world know that Bermuda is a country and not a boring chapter in Geometry and most importantly we got our coach back in one piece. So while India comes out of the world cup with a squeaky clean image, Pakistan looks like it is the epicenter of gonorrhea and syphilis. Well done boys. Bravo!!


2) Iran nearly triggers off World War 3
15 British sailors now find themselves in Iranian jails after fishing in trouble waters. Last heard, grown up men were fighting about who gets to keep the very obese lone female sailor. Will she be the face that launched a thousand ships?

3) LTTE has its own air force.
Wouldn’t have concerned me but had to catch a connecting flight at Colombo airport. What are the odds that LTTE would develop their own air force, the first time in their history and bombard a Sri Lankan air base adjacent to the international airport during my vacation period!!
