Who's Acting Strange??

"He/she can't act!!". How often have youn heard this? Plenty a time, I guess. I mostly get amused when I hear this. This sets me thinking because this comes from ordinary, plain vanilla people like you and me (Well, I am not that plain ;-) ) who one would suppose donn know a whit about acting. What IS Acting? In my opinion, if somebody doesn't seem unnatural on screen, he is doing ok. Thats how the so called non actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Sunil Shetty.. etc have survived more than a decade in the industry. Of course, they might not make u cry when they themselves shed loads of glycerine on screen. But generally, they won't make you inflict injuries upon yourself. To be concluded ...;-)

Captain Saab

So, Team India (BTW who has coined this team india crap??) got a new captain, though only temporarily. A lot of debate has been going on in the past about Rahul Dravid replacing Sourav Ganguly as India's Cricket Captain. Who is better?? I think, a comparison is not at all fair at this point. But I still think that Dravid might not prove to be as good a captain as Ganguly. Ganguly has done the hard yards. He has practically built this team from nothing (which is slowly withering away). He is definitely a better man- manager in my opinion. He chides and makes up (remember his fisticuffs with Srinath). And he has won battles both on personal form and team front. Dravid, if he takes over, will have a slightly easier task. First of all, he has a clutch of talented/proven players already available to him. Secondly, he does not have to bring in a culture change in the team. He has already done that with Ganguly. So, his task is promarily to get that burning desire back. Or, may be more i

Team India

And Team India has got it seriously wrong. Whats wrong with these guys? Although, Afridi is a far better batsman than he is given credit for, Indians should have had a plan against him. I don't think they had/have any considering that in every other match he gets away with a blistering knock against them. And today, he absolutely pummulled the Indians. Time for the team to get its act together.

Clogger-Blogger

Blogger has got it wrong too. Why doesn't the time and date setting get hold of my comps date-time-zone automatically??

Email-Gmail

GMail has got it wrong. They don't provide the user the facility to create their own folders. This is seriously annoying if one has a some daily/professional mails coming all the while which one doesn't necessarily want to remove but which eat up your inbox view nevertheless. Hence, personal/directed mails are harder to find. Labels are just not good enough. Search is good but folders are better. No point in wading through the junk to find some obscure mail that you want to make a point to your friend. :(
