Cricket Finally !!

I tried hard to stay away from Writing anything on cricket( the game of course) despite the eventful (aweful some will say) happenings over the last week in World of Cricket. But if you live in the country where Cricket is THE Religion ,even atheist like me cannot turn blind eye to the godly happenings around . You hear about it everywhere- the Office cafeteria, project meetings, manager's cabin, your next cubicle , resturants, the office cab and so on and so forth. And every damn body has an opinion on this great religious catastrophe which has befallen on us Indians.

But the most interesting part as far as I am concerned is the CREATIVITY the cricket lovers are showing while bashing Team India. Like we had a series of morphed pictures showing the Cricketing heros( or zeros ?) doing mundane jobs like cooking, selling coconuts and evening making Chappals( guess who) in their post Cricket World Cup life. Got another email forward which blamed the Indian's Team exit on Team Bermuda since BErmuda lost to BAngladesh despite knowing that BErmuda's loss meant India's loss as well. But the funniest and most creative was blaming Lord Hanuman for India's exit from the World cup . How ? Had Lord Hanuman destroyed Sri Lanka with his poonch( tail) while saving Sita from the clutches of Ravana( he is the mother of all Villians as per Indian Mythology) , today Sri Lanka could have been non existent and you cannot be beaten by someone who is non existent :)

But what has happened cannot be changed and so I think we should focus our life back on things other than Cricket (like for example directly discussing work at Project meeting than digressing over why India Failed._ Also use our Creativity for the better and bigger things in life rather than brooding over 11 men in Sky Blue pyjamas losing to 11 men in Navy Blue ones.

First Impressions:SpiceJet

After the horrifying experience my parents had had while travelling in Air Deccan , the India's self aclaimed "best" low cost carrier(LCC) , I had very minimal expectations from another LCC SpiceJet which I was boarding for the first time . I had already prepared myself for a delayed flight by booking a flight at the safe time of 5 pm even though I did not have to be at the destination before 8pm .

But the journey with Spicejet was indeed a pleasure . The flight was bang on time and departed bangalore at 5 pm . Also the cabin crew was really friendly and in flight service matched the services provided by the Full Service Airlines except that Spicejet did not offer any food on board. The passengers were offered candies at the start of the flight and later were served water. Constrast this with the Air deccan flight on the same route who not only delayed the flight by an amazing 6 hours as I have already written but also did not offer any inflight services.

If a LCC can maintain timelines and provide some basic amenities, I guess it is a paisa vasool and eventhough you end up paying about 300 bucks more for than the other LCCs,I believe it is worth the salt ( and money).
