Run out

Now, I know two wickets can be taken off one ball when the batsman are run out on both the ends. If such a case arises and if the to wickets fall on the last ball of an over, who among the two new incoming batsman will occupy the striker's crease? Can anyone of the incoming batsman occupy the crease or is it dependent on the batting order? These are a few questions that came to my mind when I imagined the above scenario. I tried googling it but didn't find the an answer. If you know the answer, do pen it down in the comments section.

most number of ducks?

I am sure that most of you reading this blog will find this post surprising. I say so because I'm going to pen down some of the less know facts about Jayasuriya in the sport of cricket. Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for the most number of ducks in one day internations. A guy who has accumulated ove 13000 runs, has 34 ducks under his belt. He also holds the record for the most number of sixes in ODI'S . He holds the second position when it comes to the number of runs scored and the number of fours hit in ODI carrer.

Weekend!

Weekends are always loved by everyone. This is the time where you get to spend time with your family and friends. After five day of hard work, deadlines and tension, two days of respite is the most sought out thing by a software engineer. I am no exception. I love weekends but, the problem with weekends is that the end very quickly. I really hate Einstein's theory of relativity. Time flies by when I enjoy myself and it goes pathetically slow when at work. I'm planning to come up with something that could counter the relativity theory. :)

Mid age crisis

I don't know whether I've gone insane but I think my mid age crisis is underway even though I'm only in my early twenties. I've always wanted to be a software engineer but little did I know how pathetic a job it really is. I never considered management as an option in my life until recently. Life is full of uncertainties and I've realized that. When you desperately want something and go behind it earnestly, it eludes you. On the contrary, if you never bother to notice something, it follows you everywhere. I'm experiencing mid age crisis right now. I don't know whether I'm going in the right direction.

Twists and turns

Recently, I've been searching for extra time to do something I like. I've never been this busy in the past five years. It's not that I don't like my current position. It's just that, well, I'm unused to this situation. Laziness was, is and will be my right. Now, that has taken a temporary curfew. People say when everything seems to come your way, your are probably on the wrong side of the road. Everything was coming my way until recently. I was on the wrong side of the road but I was on the road nevertheless. Now, I am stranded in a place nowhere to be found on the world atlas.

What the players say

As everyone will be aware, every sportsperson need to undergo the dope test in order to ensure the game is played in a fair manner. The anti doping team asks for the place of stay for the next three months in advance from all the sportsperson. I personally feel this is invading the player's privacy. A player has the right to not disclose some information that he/she feels is a invasion to their privacy. Many players are against it but have signed the deal nevertheless as a vast majority of the players have already signed it. Though anti-doping ensures the games are played fair and square, it also makes the life of sportsperson a bit uncomfortable.

Typo errors

Typo errors are a common thing when it comes to chatting. Some errors are funny and some typo errors can land you in trouble. Let me state an incident that happened in my life while chatting with a very old friend of mine. I accidentally typed "who are you" instead of "how are you". That typo error was funny because he knows me well and I know him well. But, imagine typing the same thing to your client or someone while addressing them formally. So, be sure to check what you've typed before sending it over to the other person.

Time snag

I am very much interested in concepts that deal with time, time travel and time dilation. When working on different equations that relate to time, distance, speed and various other mathematical equations, I arrived at a conclusion that the amount of aging of a living thing happens at a slower rate when that living thing is travelling along with time. This in similar to the twin paradox concept wherein a person constantly in motion with time tends to age slower than the one who is not so constantly in motion with time. Now this gave me a better idea about time travel and why people say time travel to the future is possible but not the past.

Be healthy

This post is intended for those who want be healthy. It is important that one is healthy. There is a strong misconception among people that the people who are fat are hale and healthy and the people who are lean are not so healthy. But the reality is completely different. Many people gain weight because of the intake of their food. After having a nice meal they tend to forget the magic name exercise, which is absolutely essential in this fast moving world.

Even though many are interested in losing a few extra pounds they wont be able to due to various reasons. They may think of all possible ways to lose their weight and look younger than other people may at their age.

There are many ways by which one can lose weight. One of the simplest ways to reduce few extra pounds is by using good diet pills, which is very popular among people. It is easier said than done because there are thousands of pills available in the market today. One has to make sure that he takes exactly the pills, which is suitable to his body.

Best way to know if someone is loving you or not

I would rate the following incident as the best love proposal story ever. This is how the story goes. A guy sent an sms to his girlfriend which read "I love U". He got a reply sms from his girlfriend which read "Sorry but I don't love you". As a reply to this sms, the guy sent his girlfriend another sms which read "I also love the other 25 letters of the English alphabets". I think of this as a very great and cool strategy to propose to someone. If the reply is in the affirmative, congrats! Else you can send the alternate reply! Hope this post helped all those desperately wanting a way to express their love.

Gaming

For all those people out there who think playing online games are a waste of time, this post is for you people. I made 25$ in just 4 days from gaming. Sounds cool right? You too can earn by playing online games. All you have to do is this - Search for a gaming site, check whether they pay you for playing games. If yes, then you have hit the jackpot, else, try again. :P

We all often feel sleepy the moment we enter the office premises. What if your boss caught you sleeping at work? Here are a few excuses you can tell him:• "They told me in the blood bank that this might happen."
• "This is just a fifteen minute power nap as described in that time management course you sent me."
• "Phew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out You probably got here just in time!"
• "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating about the mission statement and was envisioning a new paradigm."

• "I was doing Yoga to relieve work-related stress."
• "Aww! Why did you interrupt me? I almost figured out the solution to our biggest problem."
• "The coffee machine isn't working"
• "Someone must have put decaf in the wrong cup!"

Computer programming laws

If a program is no longer useful, it will have to be documented.If on the contrary, a program is indeed useful, it has to be changed. Any running program is obsolete. The value of a program is directly proportional to the weight of it's output. All programs expand to fill any available memory. A program's complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of the programmer to maintain it. Make the programmers to write in English and you will find that the programmers cannot write in English.Bradley's Bromide: If all computers get too powerful, we must organize them into a committee - that will do them in. Hoare's Law of Large Programs: Inside every large program, there is a small program struggling to get the hell out. Weinberg's Law: If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. Adding manpower to an already late software project makes it later.

The maiden over

There are a lot of SCG moments that were fun and cheerful. All the cheerful moments become sweeter if you end up being on the winning side. It becomes a moment to cherish for a lifetime if you are the main cause for your team's victory. I had one such sweet moment. The opposition had just 4 runs to win off the last over and I was given the ball to bowl with. Guess what? I bowled a maiden over and also managed to take two wickets in that over. Awesome isn't it? ;)

Hypnotise

Hypnosis is a very distinctive, often described as a trance-like mental state that is said to be induced by an organized pattern of suggestions, usually verbal in nature, beginning with the suggestion of relaxation. Although the long held popular view was that hypnosis is form of unconsciousness, the informed contemporary view is that it is actually a wakeful state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with diminished peripheral awareness.The suggestions may be directly induced by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, but may be also be self-induced (self-hypnosis or auto hypnosis/auto-suggestion). The word 'hypnosis' itself is the invention of 19th century Scottish physician James Braid.

Turned out to be just another day in my life

Today is Diwali but nothing much eventful happened today. I lost the keenness and curiosity about Diwali that I once had. Diwali fever used to creep inside me weeks before Diwali when I was a kid. The interest that I had and felt about Diwali started diminishing with the years that passed by. Now, Diwali appears to be just another day in my life. As the old adage goes, people never change. I'm forced to disagree here as I've changed a lot since my childhood. People do change. A change is always welcome if its good. I certainly don't know if this change in me is good but I definitely know that its not bad.

Height of absent mindedness!

Yesterday, a friend of mine said he'll come to my house to meet me. He showed up a bit late but nevertheless he showed up. We talked about various topics for quite a while. Now let me tell you about one exclusive trait that my friend has. He has problems remembering things and stuff. His trademark absent mindedness came to light when he got a call from his dad. My friend had left his house door open when coming over to my place. LOL! Later I got to know that nothing was stolen and everything was safe. A very lucky guy indeed.

A car has eight wheels

"How many wheels does a car have?" asked a teacher to a student. The student replied "eight wheels". The teacher, irked by the ignorance of the student asked him to think again and answer. The student stood by what he said. The teacher, losing her cool, took the student out to the parking lot, made him stand in front of a car and asked him to explain how he said a car has eight wheels. The student said there are four sides for a car and each side had two tyres. If I'm doing my math correctly, 4*2=8. The teacher fainted.
