You don't want to share?? :-X
“I did not want to tell you that I was suffering.” Is there anything wrong in this? I would like to ask everyone that is it wrong even if we don’t share our feelings? I didn’t want people to worry about me and waste their time thinking about my problem. Is that anything wrong? Well, the community and the culture where we live, probably says yes. It is not just about hard feelings, even if people don’t share any happy moments or good times, why are people so angry or disappointed about you? It happened to me that I did not want my friends and dearest ones know about my hard times. Was that something wrong? I did not think that they will be of no help. I just did not want to share my hard times, can’t even do that? It is true that when you are very close to people, when you inculcate that trust factor in them, you do feel that they are the right person’s to share things with. But, what if a person just did not want to do so? Is that such a big sin? Why do people get so angry if we say so?

What's wrong today?
What am I doing? I have been sitting all alone in my apartment, in my chair, not moving at all, skipping my lunch. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I am all alone. There is no one to share my feelings. I’m missing so many things now. I miss my motherland, my friends and mainly some light in my life today at this moment. I could have done so many things from the time I woke up, but, there is something stopping me from doing those.
I desperately want to study, but I can’t. I want so many things now, but I am so sure, that I can’t get them. What should I do? Something wrong is going on, how can I rectify that?

Cricket ruins my softball
Cricket ruined my game today :( .
In cricket, we are so used to place and hit the ball over the in-field to score more and quicker runs. I was trying to do the same thing today in my softball game. But, I did not do that purposefuly, it just happened. I spoiled 3 of my innings. I later realised what the problem was, when I was fielding in the same old position of mine (right wing). My 4th and 5th innings were really good, and made them basehits.
My 4th innings, being the funniest situation of the entire match, rather the entire league :D . I made a base hit, the next batsmen hit the ball high in the air, I didn't knew that I was not supposed to run to the 2nd base if the ball was caught. As soon as the batsmen hit the ball, I started running and I covered two more bases. The 3rd base coach then said me that I was out, I had no clue what was going on. I had to walk back to the bench. Jason, my captain then said me that I was not supposed to run if the ball was caught (man, it was baseball for a while that caught my mind).
My 5th inning was a really good hit, making a double and winning the game 18 to 7. Good way to win these games, and its really a nice feeling when you are playing a sport for the first time, and you hardly know the rules, and you are winning matches.

Softball
I never thought i would end up playing softball for the Laura Street Baptist Church. It all started with one of my frnd forcing me to join them play softball, and then, I had no clue how I ended up in their team.
Today was a great day for me. After loosing my first 2 matches in the league, today we made it finally. We won 21 - 9. My first two hits were really bad. Well, I actually hit them pretty good, tried to place the first hit over left outfield, but, ended up hitting the ball too high, allowing the fielder to comfortably have that in his glove. My second hit was over the center field, this time, i hit it straight into the glove. It was the 4th inning, and I was kicking myself for such a bad performance with the bat. Kenni was pitching for our team today. I was so fed up on the field, and started looking at my frnds playing volleyball on the court right next to the field. I saw the center fielder running towards me, I then realized that the ball was hit towards me, I started running towards the ball. The fielder made a drop catch, so I being the nearest fielder, had to pick the ball up. I heard someone shouting, 2nd base. I just threw the ball there, I then realised that it was an extra ordinary throw. The batsmen was runout, but my throw was soo fast, and accurate.
I just came back into the game. When it was our inning, I saw so many basehits and walk's. I had to face the ball finally in this inning. Just waited for the ball, made a 1st strike. Then, i spoke to myself, cooled down a bit, and then finally hit the ball over the center fielder to make a double. This was the second time I made a double, but the 1st time, I ended up running out at the home. Today, it was a great hit by the next batsmen, so I finally made it to the home.
This was almost like a great achievement for me. New game, new rules, new style of playing, I never thought I could be so good. More practice and good health shall make me a stronger player in this game.

mobile threat
Craig Mathias - January 09, 2007The great cell-phone advertising threathttp://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9007630
The author starts of with a biased note on advertisements. As we all know, customers or consumers are impressed on a product based on the ads. So Craig Mathias argues that advertising has to be done in a proper manner.The author then speaks about the effect of advertisements and how we are exposed to them. As television is the main source, commercial breaks are now so long that people tend to forget what the content was, including news channels. Around 30% ads in all major channels render them close to content-free.As the traditions passed on, internet has become another mode of media. And comparing the ads on the internet and TV, internet is a better option because most of them give us an opportunity to get to the content by skipping the ads.The author then raises a new threat where advertising becomes possible on cell phones. Ads on cell phones for everything and every time. To make and receive calls. With the present available technology this is possible, but it sounds a little scary.He uses the ringback tone of Verizon wireless' approach as an example for this. Companies need to get money and these mobile ads are now a threat. There are few services which welcome these ads in order to subside the wireless services. A long-term solution for this could be targeted ads, where the customer is allowed to go to a website and click on his advertising preferences.Date Modified: 10 Jan 07 10:19 PM MST
