Teams not doing too well!!!!

It seems like 2006 is not a good year for the teams i follow!, the men in blue are woefully out of form, lost the odi series in south africa already and i don’t expect a major turnaround in the test series either, the gunners are super inconsistent and the premiership challenge is all but over, hopefully they will secure a champions league spot for next season, the kings are not performing to their potential and i doubt they are genuine title contenders this year and finally the leafs, well i hope they make the playoffs this year. That sums up cricket, soccer, basketball and hockey. I sincerely hope 2007 is much better!
In other news, i finally got to see casino royale, will write a review on that soon! until next time!

Observation....

Over the years I have met different people and each individual has some traits which are unique, but some aspects remain common to one and all, me included. There have been some who were extremely ambitious, loved to thrive on self accolades and bask in the spotlight, others very practical, some too lazy or lacking ambition, some who just wanted to be like the ambitious and successful ones but were not there yet, yet others with nothing but dreams, waiting for them to be realized one day. Of all the people I have known over the years, myself included, I have noted one thing in common, we all survive for ourselves, we are all selfish beings but then again that’s human nature, we have to put ourselves first to survive. This brings me to the question of what a selfless person would truly be like. He/she who puts others before himself/herself? Does such a person exist; history has given many examples of people who are categorized as being selfless, Mother Teresa being one example that comes to mind immediately. But then was Mother Teresa truly selfless? Being a devout Christian she was trying to be a good human being, a good Christian, but why? Because her religion said so, because that is what God wanted her to do, wasn’t she a good person because God wanted her to be, her religion wanted her to be? but the good deeds apart, that brings us to the same question wasn’t she doing it for herself, maybe not on a materialistic level but rather more on a spiritual level. You do something nice for someone, feed a hungry person, give shelter to the homeless, help someone in need, you get satisfaction that you did something good, it makes you feel happy,,,, don’t you do it because you want to feel happy? Everything we do finds its way back to us one way or another....

Seasons!

Its chilly outside, I went for a walk during lunch and could feel the icy wind seeping through my pores, it’s below the freezing mark, no snow yet but it’s called for next week. The colours of fall never cease to amaze me, when fall arrives it brings with it an array of dazzling colours, leaves turn red, the air gets cooler, people are chirpier; pity it lasts for only a few weeks, then winter sets in, the leaves are no more , everything is a barren wasteland, frozen....people are cold, harshness prevails; then a brief spring, life comes back, the excitement of summer awaits; finally a hot and sultry summer, excitement galore, there’s a certain eroticism in the air, bonds are built, new futures sown up; and the cycle continues....
