Cricinfo.com

  MS Dhoni was sort of bewildered with so many questions  (As Deep Dasgupta commented) e.g whether Virendra Sehbag is fit to play or not; whether he shd open or not; who shd replace  Harbhajan Singh and many other questions.
  Anyhow, I was interested  to know what happens in case Viru is in the team,  ( reference:  currently happening 3rd Test between India & Eng. at Birmingham) & it was still more interesting to see India batting first, as  the England Test captain  Andrew Strauss won the toss at Birmingham  (Edgbaston)
& chose to field.
  Now , Yash gave me a jolt when he told that Virendra  Sehwag got the  Golden Duck i.e he was out first ball to  Stuart Broad. The live broadcast came thru Cricinfo.com  in the Internet.
  Thus began our day.  However, Runi had already gone to her work and Yash was home. Dada & myself saw the cricket match (3rd Test) live  in Yash's PC, equipped with the new LED monitor. This display unit was quite big & effected fine resolution of picture........I already wrote about this one.
Next I was out in the street for my daily  walking exercise. It was about 11-10 A.M  & I was walking along Beacons Road
in the direction of  Coolidge Corner, when after some time I was alerted  by the very loud sirens of the Police cars, 2 in no, moving at a very high speed.  I crossed footpath with a view to walking  upto  Dean Rd. Stn.,  and  again saw a 3rd Police vehicle running very fast  in the same direction & alarming everybody   all the while.   What is all this about?........  I thought ....... what circumstances can  disturb the peace & tranquility of  our nice locality?? However, this did not bother me much & I kept the  thoughts  to myself only.
Later,  I  learnt that an incident of shooting occured  in Brighton in a housing for the elderly lower income group  of people as well  disabled persons and  the gunman was arrested eventually.
I  hope this is a rare happening & I  also hope this would not  create much wave in our life-styles.
After lunch, I found Runi e-mailing me to tell that she was taking  P/Os of all my blogs. Later, she gave me a present of  the same ........ almost in the form of a booklet........ a very good gift indeed.
Yash prepared a  chat in the evening............  I appreciate what is called   ' haatjash'  of  Yash. The word is a Bengali word & means the art of one's hand in preparing something or curing a disease, in a broader sense.
