I am back ...

It's amazing what an year can do to your life..! I mean it could bring all the happiness into your life or suck the life out of your life (Ironic isn't it ?). Well the last year (It's been an year since I have made my last post.. ) was a 30-7o in terms of ups and downs with more downs than I can handle.. so I spent most of the past 12 months trying to regain footing.. But then on a brighter side the learning curve was steepest during this time , I learned a lot about myself as well as others and am sure that will help me in not repeating the mistakes that I have committed in the past.

In my opinion "Expectations are the root cause for all problems". This is not to say that lack of expectations will not land you in troubles but expecting less would also make your problems less intimidating.. More on this later... 

Moving on from "lessons learnt" segment .. Being in US for nearly 4 years, I have turned out to be an avid follower of American Football (NFL) and a hardcore fan of "NewEnglandPatriots (NWE)". While it was a happy time during the regular season where they went 16-0 and 11-5 the past two years was miserable during the playoffs.. They lost in superbowl in 2008 and they didn't make the playoffs in 2009 (It's a first in 20+ years that a team with a 11-5 didn't make it to the post season..) During the off-season I follow NBA and Cleveland Cavaliers are my favorite team .. they too give me plenty to moan during the playoffs .. They were defeated by the eventual champions Boston last year in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.. I hope and Pray that they will not be eliminated today by Orlando "Magic".. (It's playoffs time  baby..). I am amazed at the role sports can play in everyone's everyday life. We roll with our teams.. we rise and fall with them. A few months ago in College Basketball's National championship game Michigan state was playing University of North Carolina (UNC) and many were rooting for the Cinderella team "Michigan State" to beat UNC ,so people of Detroit can feel better in spite of the economic downturn at the "Auto-Capital of the world". I think people will look around for reasons to make them happy and Identifying themselves with winners falls into that type.. Imagine if India wins the Cricket world cup,we would celebrate for months,talk for years and cherish for decades.. Sports is truly amazinggggg..

India went to elections and the world called it the "most remarkable election". While I have my doubts about the effectiveness of Congress govt especially with the power not with the PM (entire nation knows but chose not to do anything .. ), I am happy that the government has a clear majority and do not need to spend most of its time pacifying the many coalition partners.. Way to go.. ! 

I have promised in the past that I will blog regularly and failed.. so although my intentions are the same even now i.e to blog regularly.. I will stay away from making the promise.. Thanks to all the people who made me realize the importance of expressing myself .. :)

Cheers ..
