One more loss!

The PES college grounds seem to be a big jinx as far as our cricket playing streak goes. One more match against DNA, one more loss. This is now getting beyond mere embarrassment. Beautiful the ground may be, but its getting on our nerves. We have lost every damn match played there apart from one and that one win was also earned the really hard way, puffing and struggling home. So there has never been a comprehensive win over either DNA or the RPC.
Coming to today's match, we got them out for 104 and we couldnt chase it down! Need to take on more resposibility from my end as captain. Though a collective failure, it is now leading to voices of discontent within the team, with the batting order being questioned. Dont know where the answers are going to come from.
We seem to be a good side, but extremely bad when it comes to playing as a team. How do we get the motivation going up again, is a moot question that needs to be answered.
Questions and more questions, with no sign of answers coming from anywhere!

Cricket, Formats & the Matrimonial search

Almost a year since I last wrote! Gosh! It almost feels like I have to learn to blog again.

Nothing much has changed..still single and looking, still have the same car, still work in the same place, still playing cricket with friends every sunday. So when I thought I would update this page, I was left wondering to myself - what do I update this page with???

So here goes, the three things that my life has centered around in the last 10 months -

The cricket, both, the one I have been playing regularly and the one that I have been intrinsically part of thanks to IPL -2, have kept me going all the while.
The formats and new processes at the workplace have been overwhelming (something that I had not foreseen when I joined the place).
The matrimonial search has been, if anything, even more overwhelming! Its a pain to go through profiles every other day and keep rejecting them. Evenings at home are spent doing this over and over again. Shall keep this story for my next post...

And I am hoping not to make this post an annual affair, like my last two posts.

Pretty bland post, if I may say so myself...but I hope to get better as I get back to writing

Cheers
