And this is totally in keeping with the spirit of things since Sidin wanted to get belly-dancers for his Bombay book launch! :)Aayushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703706945195344880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-54122491577173118212010-03-11T12:18:47.791+05:302010-03-11T12:18:47.791+05:30I think we should have sung the book.

Between 2005 and now, I've only seen fragments of a few Sachin innings (when I happen to find out that he's at the crease and I have a TV nearby), including the last 50 runs of the 200 not out. Otherwise, no cricket at all. Haven't ever watched 20-20 or IPL or anything.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-2992178155390941442010-03-09T10:34:47.484+05:302010-03-09T10:34:47.484+05:30off on a tangent, but from one cricket fan to anot...off on a tangent, but from one cricket fan to another:<br />it is going to be very interesting as john howard, former prime minister of australia arrives at the helm of the international cricketing body. i dont think the indians are afraid enough of the kind of (dirty) politics this man can play - and i am not sure if they can be any match...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-26592353283654616292010-03-08T07:33:29.213+05:302010-03-08T07:33:29.213+05:30while reading this blog, the book launch one, I al...while reading this blog, the book launch one, I almost imagined farhan akhtar...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-47220967007231159242010-03-07T18:35:46.836+05:302010-03-07T18:35:46.836+05:30...by singing the book of the writer

I had a great time personally and the feedback I have gotten so far on the event has been universally great.
