Its been raining all day ....cricket practice got cancelled......tomorrow we have our first cricket game of the season....the Midwest Cricket Tournament begins tomorrow......many of us have not had much practice this week.....lets see what tomorrow holds in store for the team...there is also a chance that the game might be cancelled since it rained all day today and the puddles might not dry out ....that sucks big time since tomorrow was supposed to be an easy game for us......would have helped us bag full points...and now we look at the bleak possibility of sharing points due to the cancellation......well cest la vie.......that’s all I have to say....

Caught up on all the sleep I could......Mom called from India to let me know that my cousin R reached home ...he left the day before from here to spend the summer in India.....asked her to put him on the line and she says..." Beta...R has gone out with friends ,,,".........I could not help but smile in my sleep...that’s so much like him.....always upto something...always moving around with friends tagging along...friends willing to cut their right arm for him or left arm...depends.....he's just like that.......in a class of his own......

was supposed to finish up this paper for a conference...... which needs to be submitted the coming week....got around to doing a bit...guess shall do the remaining tonight......leaving for the mall in half an hour...need to find a sports clothing shop that has white track pants...need to be in all whites for the cricket matches.....so better get ready now......I love the rain and the cloudy weather but today is just one of those days when its all getting to me......uggghhhh!!!!!! ....its supposed to be summer and the temperature outside is 9 C...with wind chill its 5 C.......have to dig up a sweatshirt from somewhere now....thought I was done with them for the season...but .......never underestimate Mother Nature....for that matter never underestimate mothers in general.....

laters..........
