Winners do quit

Yes, I am talking about Saurav Ganguly who recently announced his retirement. But i guess this news was sort of expected considering the selectors were not very generous with him anyway. He did the right thing by calling it a day. I do not want to get into records and throw around numbers. It is for all to see. Enough slurs have been heaped on him and most of it undeserving.
I felt proud after we won the Kolkata test
I was pissed off when he was stripped of his captaincy
I was amazed at the NatWest victory and the way he took of his shirt and delivered a slap on Flintoff's ego
And now I am sad at the fact that we wont see him play test cricket anymore.

As I looked out of the window for your gaze,
All the memories faded into a haze,
I wait for a glimpse of you everyday,
knowing you will come my way.
You will forever be in my heart
till death do us apart

P.S: That "poem" has nothing to do with Ganguly!

Fag('s) end????????

On October 2, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss enforced a complete ban on smoking in public places.
(and i am sure that is not going to affect anyone of u)
You CAN,T SMOKE at:

1) Auditoriums
2) Health Institutions
3) Government Buildings
4) Restaurants
5) Courts
6) Public Conveyances
7) Bus Stops
8) Public Transport
9) Stadiums
10) Railway Stations
11) Workplaces
12) Shopping Malls
13) Refreshment Rooms
14) Discotheques
15) Pubs
I just don’t believe it will work. Bans have never worked. Not on smoking..You only drive the problem underground and make it that much more difficult to deal with..

'Cigarette in my hand, I felt like a man.’ (ya right)

We shall see!!!
