Cricket, IPL

The Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 cricket tournament has started. I saw a few matches and then I realised this - I have lost all interest in watching cricket. Watching cricket on television was one of my favourite pastimes. I was passionate about the game. I had a lot of facts relating to the game on my fingertips. But amazingly, all that has gone.

I'm thinking hard but I cannot point to the precise time that this happenned but here is where I am. Does it happen to others? Something that they loved so much suddenly holds no interest for them any longer. I think the need of the hour for me then, is to find something else. Something that will excite me just as cricket did not long ago.

For others, who still love cricket, the game is on in IPL.

Thank You Kenya

Check the YouTube video 'Kenya sings for India' in the left sidebar. A friend of mine gave me the link to this video. It is beautiful. Kenyan singers sing the Indian national anthem. It is no less than a prized gift from Kenya to India. It almost gave me goosebumps. I think it rates equal with the Bharat Bala videos released a few years ago which had great Indian classical musicans and singers play/sing the national anthem. People of Kenya - Greetings and Thank You from the People of India !

There is an event called 'Pangea Day' to be held on 10 May, 08. It is an event to unite the world through films. You can learn more about it at www.pangeaday.org. This video is created as part of that event.
