Dear Blog, I know I have not been sharing much with you. I want to but for some reason or another I have been unable to do so. I know you'll understand....like you always have. :)

I am back. It was a long gap that was caused by multiple factors. Following are the three main reasons of my prolonged absence;

1. World Cup
2. Facebook
3. My wife's pregnancy

But now I am back. I have become a father now. We are world champions now. But ya, the Facebook addiction is still going strong. 

I have always written what I genuinely believe in. However, I must admit that sometimes I have stopped myself or sugar-coated the words to avoid hurting sentiments of certain people. But now, I pledge not to mince any words. Whats the point of sharing your thoughts if you are not speaking from your heart!!! I promise to myself that if I do not be honest in sharing my true feelings, I will delete this blog and pick up an actual diary to pen my thoughts.

Am back after along time. Around 7 months!!! Was not going through the best of times. In fact, the past 3 months have been the worst of my life. And since what happened was not totally unexpected, the period before that wasnt particularly rosy either. It was a horrible time for me and my family. During this while, I wanted to write and share several things. However, I prefered sharing them with myself. But now, when I have managed to scrape through the troubled times, I am back to blogging.

I want to thank first the almighty who has been really generous. I have had several bad phases in my life. Everyone goes through them. But the almighty has always made my life better after every fall. I hope this continues. And I hope I deserve it.

Then I want to thank some people who are more close to me than others. My parents, my wife Roshni, my sister Anumeha, my best friend and my brother Amit Upadhyay. These people have been my pillars of strength.....not only in the past three months but always!!! I am lucky to have them in my life.

There are several other friends, who helped me a lot. All my close friends are part of my morning prayers and I pray for the best for all my close friends. But I have special prayers for all of them now. And, I will be honest and admit that the list has become bigger now. There are several who were not really close to me earlier but they went out of their way to help me out. The least I can do to thank them is to pray for them. And I do feel ashamed that these people were not part of my prayers earlier.

Thank you everyone. Coz of you I managed to get past this ordeal.

Saaqi ne phir se mera jaam bhar diya!!!

Good Morning Guys. I am back to blogging after a long break. It is not that I did not have anything to express or write about. And I was certainly not too busy to blog. But, for some reason, things never fell into place. I did not want to write just for the heck of it.

But ya, I did miss blogging...especially when there were so many topics. I hope to be regular....till the next hibernation.

Back to blogging

I am back after a long time. Just got too busy with things. Blogging is a stress reliever...at least I use it to refresh myself and get away from the maddening tensions. But now a days, India has found another passtime and thats ....Orkut. Whatever time I used to get out of my schedule, I devoted it in making new friends and searching old pals. And it has been pretty effective!!! I have travelled alot and have studied in various schools, thanks to my father's transferable job. Retaining friends was always a problem but thanks to orkut, I have been successful in locating a lot of old pals.

But I did not make too many friends in my school days as I was quite an introvert. So now when I have located almost all my friends, I am back to blogging. And for the zillionth time, I am back with a resolution to be regular.

Hello Readers, I am Back!!!!

I am back after being out of action for three weeks. I was off due to a personal emergency. From now onwards, I promise to be regular in blogging.

I had been to Delhi and the weather over there was in contrast to the hot weather at Hyderabad. It was quite cold but believe me guys, Delhi looks really beautiful in winter mornings.

Before leaving I had given my predictions on India's WC squad (see below). Though, I was bang on target with my predictions, I do feel that there are some gaps in the side. I feel that the newly laid pitches at the carribeans will offer assistance to the spinners and thus, Ramesh Powar should be on the plane, instead of Munaf Patel. Sreesanth's form in one dayers is also questionable but he gives his 100% on the field and could be pretty effective on his day. Plus, he is a good fielder.

Even with the gaps, India has a good and balanced side and would do well in West Indies. Lets cheer our boys and help them bring home the glory.
