Something ...
Hmmm ... nothing great happening this week around. Lots of bug fixing at work, with all the new features being tested. We have parallel targets nearing now ... the 2.0 final minor release and the first major release for 2.1 ... so its a bit hectic at work.
Last weekend, attended my cousin's [ Abdullah ] wedding. It had been more than a year since i met my cousins and was really good to see them again. The worst thing was that, its just February first week and the summer has already started there. Was drinking water and soda like crazy all day long. I had recently bought a handycam and experimented with it for shooting the wedding. It was a great hit :) ... I shot all the events from the morning to the end of the wedding in a one hour roll and in the evening when the bride reached her new home and people were relaxing from the all day work, i played the roll and they were all sooo happy to see the whole wedding all over again :) ... They laughed at some really funny incidents that i captured and were amazed at the timing of the moments captured. I was myself surprised that some small incidents when seen in isolation look so funny :). Now i am struggling to find a good software to create a VCD from that roll.
Last week, i witnessed one more tie match in cricket. It was the second one day match between South Africa and England. South Africa were batting second and were in need of 60 odd runs in 40 od balls with 7 wickets in hand. Kemp and Gibbs were in, and watching Kemp hit the England bowlers all over the place was a treat. Eng had no way to win this match. Then came in the experienced Darren Gough and got a couple of good wickets. Gibbs and Kemp were back to the pavilion and even Pollock went back. SA finally needed 8 runs of the final over with 3 wickets in hand. The match had turned around completely. But England had finished bowling out all its good bowlers and captain Trescothik asked new comer Kabir Ali to bowl the all important penultimate over. The first over was a noball and was hit for a boundary !!!. SA needed 3 runs of 6 balls. The match was turning again. The next ball was a duck. The pressure mounting and SA lost a wicket in the next ball. SA now needed 3 runs of 4 balls with two wickets remaining. The next ball, SA lost one more wicket for a runout, and the match was running down to the wire. Finally, SA managed to score 2 runs and levelled the scores with still one ball remaining. The England wicket keeper used his presence of mind and was standing upto the wickets for the last ball and all the players inside the 30 yard circle. The batsman missed the short and started running, unaware that the wicket keeper had already collected the ball and stumped him to end the match in a tie. This match was some thriller to watch. This was England's only third tie ever.
