The Sleep Button

Ever wondered GODS ultimate creation….. The creation of human being…. Where every single part works very correctly, works even more accurately than the now a days modern precision devices. Well the only thing which i guess God has forgotten to put in human being is a Sleep button.
You use your laptop/ desktop the whole day and when the job gets done or you have finished ur work u just shutdown the computer. The same logic could have been applied with us with a sleep button. Finished a day of tiring work, return home wrap up all the essential stuff and press your sleep button and go to sleep say for 8 hours.
Sleep is one essential thing which we deserve every night. Try thinking of waking up continuously for 48 hours and then imagine the things to come for next 6 hours. We will not know what we are doing. Eventually we will not be in our conscious mind.
Imagine you are going to give a seminar to your new team tomorrow morning. You are all exited about it. Want to give that perfect first impression. Done all the hard work of preparing the seminar. You goto bed but still thinking all about the seminar in the back of ur mind and not getting the sleep. You know that if u don’t sleep you wont have that energy the coming morning but still the excitement is killing ur sleep. At this moment if we had a sleep button how good would that be?Well may be this is my fantasy of saying God is not 100% perfect, but maybe he had some other ideas. He wanted to conquer our fear or excitement and come good on our own rather than he helping us at all the time. May be lots of thing to ponder about?????


The idea courtesy goes to my roommate Guru who was cribbing of not getting sleep and wishing he had a sleep button as the shutdown button in the comp.

Good Cricket Spoilt by poor umpiring

Ind vs Aus - 2 test
SCG - 2 - jan to 6-Jan

What a test Match!!!!!!! Aus vs Ind 5 days of cricket and until last minute winner was not decided...... and in the end Aus emerge winner only due to poor umpiring. Day-5 when India need to play the tiring 72 overs on the fifth day pitch stsrted poorly by losing Jaffer on first over. By tea india had lost 2 more wickets. Aussie needed 7 wickets in the last session. After tea the problem started for India. Dravid was given out when it was clear that the ball has deflected from pad. It was very clear because the bat was behind the pad and bat was not at all visible for umpire, then how can he give out........... then the controversial decision of Sourav. From the replay it was clear that ball has touched the ground. Even sourav didn't walk. Why did the not umpire take the help of technology?????

This test has been a nightmare for umpire and more likely for Indians for losing a winning battle.......
