Specialization is for insects!!!

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects". -Robert A. Heinlein

Happy Birthday to MS. She would’ve been 91 this 16th. Few songs can match her masterpieces like this – pure bliss.

Off-the-Wall

September 14th, 2007

Now, that’s one decision that’s left everybody bewildered. Dravid has been seen as a capable captain, if not in the leagues of Saurav dada. He wasn’t as flamboyant, but did his job from the sidelines. He’s one captain, it seemed can balance the pressures of leadership and batting. But Walls do crumble.

Hope the Wise men choose someone who can lead the team at least until the next WC. My choice’d be Dhoni – time to look beyond the old war-horses now.
