Funny TitBits -Cricket – Olympics – India – YOU

Cricket is a funny game don’t you think, Na I don’t mean the way India are playing at the moment in the Second test against  England getting thrashed . so much for being a spin playing nation who has world-class spinners and what not .. Well here we are our spinners can’t get wickets .. while the foreigners are getting all the wickets …

Our  batsmen well again can do bugger all.. they are getting out to SPINNER which they are supposed to play properly and Experts in.. Anyway forgetting about that .. Cricket is a funny .. it’s the only game where if you hit a ball out of the ground you get 6  runs or 6 points ..

But here is a thought – > There is this batsmen all padded up with a helmet on , Pads all over him , leg pads – thigh pads – gloves , protecting him all over .. and yet there  is this guy sitting outside without a shirt , a beer in hand relaxing and a BALL HITS HIM.. what happens the Batsmen gets  6 runs .. and the bloke nothing ..  other than a BUMP on his head … 🙂

****************

Have You seen the Olympic opening ceremony, Especially when they all come out the athletes I mean representing their countries .. Now there are some countries which we have never heard of , The opening ceremony is the only time we hear the names . I mean at least I have not heard of some of them ,  Where do these  countries exist and how come only during Olympics we find them, I bet the person who is announcing the names of the countries is just sitting and making up the names ..

and Here is the team from  “Make-up-Istaan” or  “Made-Up-istaan”  .. and then I think the same man runs, changes his jacket and come out with a different flag “he-is-Back_istaaan”

****************

I had this brain wave ,  We are lucky nowadays that phones have gone digital and with the advent of mobile phones things have changed a lot , But cast you mind back to the good old days .. Those big Black Telephones.. which have a Dialler and you have to put the tip of your finger to dial the number ….

Right Ne think about the emergency numbers , WHO was the intelligent person who decided on the numbers 999..   Now imagine there is an emergency , someone is laying on the road hit by a truck or something , you run to the nearest phone booth  and it is that OLD dialler phone ..

You are rolling the digit 9.. and then  letting it go ..

rolling again and letting it go ..

rolling the number 9 and then letting it go,.

Operator – “What’s the emergency ” ..

You– “Well its OK .. the person is DEAD now ” .. it takes so long to dial the Three numbers .. 🙂

****************

Ok  Another Thing.. Has anyone of you ever walked into a room and Forgotten .. what you wanted or the Reason you came to that room to .. Right .. what do you do .. You stand and then you ask yourself

“WHY DID I COME INTO THIS ROOM” .. off course in your own mind,  WHYYYYYYYYYYY.. why do you ask that ..

Because .. YOU Don’t know why you are in the ROOM .. so why will you ask yourself  for HELP 🙂

****************

PS:- Monday is here another start to the week, Have a great week people .. enjoy it to its fullest.. Hope you had a great weekend.

PSS:- I have removed the post the controversial one,  Thank you to everyone who read it and commented it .. and thank you for all the emails I have received , I am blessed to have you all as my good friends .. God has been kind to me .. THANK YOU EVERYONE. I was chatting to another Good blogger who said to me , Never ever let anyone Treat you like SHIT.. and that was the reason I put the post .. 🙂  Thank you TBAB..

    Oh yes… woh room wala thingie… I do it so many times… isliye people sometimes call me The absent minded professor – one who exists in her own world 😀

    I do that while writing also you know… I turn the page and am blank for a few seconds!

    And that phone wala thing.. I sometimes wonder how used to people manage such stuff in olden days. What if someone had fat fingers…jo us circle main fit hi nahi hote??? :/

    Oh..it seems the monday morning blues are working on me too………. 😀

    Having a wonderful week ahead Bikram…take care and wishing you loads of smile always!

  4. There is an app for iPhone/Android which downloads a circular dialer to your phone and allows you to dial numbers the old fashioned way. Wait, I am not sure if there is one but there can be one like that right? 🙂

    I don’t watch cricket, everybody is do corrupt, right from the players to the organizers, it no longer is a gentlemen’s game. I read some where, that when you reach some place and forget what you had come for/ or something that suddenly slips your mind, you, should go back to the place from where you came from, and immediately you would remember what you had forgotten. It always works for me.

    I read “Cricket” and almost moved on. That’s the ONE game that puts me off. ****Raising hands across above my head as shield**** No, actually it is the obsession around it that does.

    Further down was Olympics……not too encouraging. Thank god I saw the black telephone – Yipee! I Love those phones . Too bad you decided to make fun of them. Yeah! of course what you say is true, But……**sniff**…..fine, will tell you what I mean in my next post (yeah, it IS that long 🙂 ) And the room thingy…..hmm – happens to me rarely, once in a while. Yeah Yeah Super organized person n all I am…..I know 😛

    Loved the humour (Note to WordPress: Dumbo!! This is a blogger from UK !!) around country names. Seriously, its weird. Been hooked on to this iPad game on flags…….it’s got flags from countries that sound Xactly like that.

    And finally, about THAT post. Arey yaar, just got back from vacation and barely glanced thru it yesterday. Thik se padne to diya hota. Chaddo yaar koi nai – Will look for my daily dose of masala elsewhere. Jokes apart, I had no clue who that dude was, nor what he wrote abt you. (wud love to know * giggle** giggle** – just for laughs) What else does crap (sh!t has already been used much) deserve? Sincere suggestion – Don’t put up posts like that. Not getting preachy or judgmental, just mean to say they aren’t worth your space – mindspace, blogspace, breathing space and in your specific case – HumourSpace !!

      • Kdps says:

        Actually England had better spinners.The problem is we Indians just hype our players and Hardly praise others.Gramme Swann along with Saed Ajmal was one the top contender for world’s best spinner in test cricket from past 2-3 years.Panesar recently blasted Spin expert batsmen of Pakistan in UAE.Unfortunately for England Ajmal and other Pak spinners proved unplayable for them

        On the other hand India had over hyped Ashwin whose 40 out of 53 test wickets were against West Indies and New Zealand in India.Harbhajan Singh who is unable to take wickets in Ranji trophy.So England was with the better spinners

        Indian cricketer like politicians also just stick to their “kursi” and this make India to carry out of form past legends rather than inform players.So India have to pay price for it
