Hi INDIA ! Take a CHILL pill !

Indian squad at West Indies -'May 2006

It was a drama at the Kingsten stadium when India lost to the W.Indies by just a 22 yards. W.Indies have proved they are no more sleeping. To start with, I shud not fail to mention the great start India had , thanks to the speedsters. It was a termendous show from Irfan and Agarkar. All those who had been near the Tv set would have seen the frustration in Lara's face we he got dismissed by a beauty from Irfan .

But still...

When things seem to go away from India , Bajji played the rest of the game with an amazing spell.

But, Indians didnt estimate the cost they had to pay when they were lethorgic in playing with Sarwan. This guy has nothng but talent. His wood is made of cricket. It was really a good entertainment to see this guy play when he is in form.

And even aftr the end of 50 overs and a target of 190+, Indians would not have thought about what is in store for them. It was the last but one ball which decided India's Fate in this tour so far.

And if you think it was Bravo who did it, then you gotto watch th match again. It was Gayle's

idea infact to bowl that delivery to Yuvraj and it worked. Thats wat we call Team work. A good idea at the right moment has won glory to the Windies .Overall, It was a splendid performance from The W.Indies and infact a wake-up call for the Indians.

While I am writing this, India has lost another game and the disaster continues for Team India !!! :(

Before you close this window, I wanna know....

R we missing this guy at all?

Well guys, thats all for now from me ! Gotto wait nd see wat Team India is gonna do in the remaining 2 ODI's .

The results stands at India having won 1 game and the Windies have 2 in their bag.

All I have to say is ! All the Best for the Men in Blue :)

Where will the data sit?Learning moments can happen anytime. One can learn as much from peers and juniors as one can from seniors. Let me end with a learning I got from my peer. In case you have wondered, why I have given examples from my sales days in computers, it was because I did not want to say that 'any resemblance is pure coincidence' because the incidents are real. At the same time, they happened so far back that I am sure that even if the resemblance is known, the characters would laugh indulgently. I am of course preparing the ground for the last incident, which honestly I cannot say if it is true or false. But it was something to do with a peer and pure "hear-say". I am only repeating it here because it shows individual, innovative, objection handling at its creative best.

When the computer industry in India began, we had the Hardware engineer who was different from the Software engineer. When something went wrong with the computer, the Hardware engineer blamed the Software installed and it was the reverse with the Software engineer. The Customer would end up feeling frustrated. As one of the first Service innovations, Wipro had a Customer Support Executive who had to solve both Hardware and Software problems. There was really no escape, because to the Customer he was "one throat to choke." Our Engineers would feel totally helpless till one of them found a way out. He started blaming the air conditioner. One day the Customer decided to confront him. In a deceptively mild voice, choking with cold anger, he asked, "Can you please explain to me how the AC not working can corrupt the data on my floppy?" Our Engineer was nonplussed. "Sir, when the AC is off, it gets hot, so you open the window, right?" "Yes," said the Customer testily. "Then the dust comes in from the window and sits everywhere". "Yes?" "Some of the dust may also sit on the floppy Sir." "Possible," said the Customer. Our Engineer said triumphantly, "Sir, if the dust sits on the floppy, where will the data sit?"
