Hihi
I know this is a long shot but what say we all catch up on a skype call - it'll be easier than blogging and great to have everyone at one go. Any takers?

Projectiles
I just opened CNN and the following two articles greeted me:
1. NASA satellite crashes to earth minutes after launch
2. North Korea ready to launch satellite
There is something really disconcerting about that.
By the way, I just realised that the colour motif for the Economist, that paragon of democracy and free market capitalism is a bright Red ?!

Mahela on Facebook
I friend-ed Sri Lanka's captain, Mahela Jayawardena, on facebook a few days, just like that (actually, so that I look cool having such a famous cricketer on my friends list).
Man, that guy is one of those crazy facebook people. He's perpetually posting messages and status updates and videos and becoming a fan of this or the other. My news feed is now choked with the things Mahela does and the responses of others to his musings. He's been pimping some products he endorses and has posted a whole bunch of videos of the adverts. Amazingly, he has not let the ongoing test match (oh, and in which he scored 240, by the way) with Pakistan interfere with this at all. Score a double century, come back and post inanities - all in a day's work for Mahela.
He has someone called Rai Aishwarya on his friends list. I wondered - could it be? I mean, he's such a famous guy after all. Anyway, it turned out Rai Aishwarya has 12 friends, all Sri Lankan-sounding. So, it's possible it's not her, then.

Adam Voges answers a question
There are so many great catches I've seen in cricket that it's difficult to pinpoint any one as the greatest...until yesterday. New Zealand, in their T20 with Australia, neded 20 off 12 balls - a six would have made it 14 of 11, with McCullum still batting. But what Voges did made it 20 off 11, with McCullum gone, and that proved decisive in Australia's 1 run win.
But even if this had been a completely inconsequential catch in a club match, I'd still rate it the greatest I've ever seen
