http://sameek.com Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:41:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Sorry for the long delay. India has finally made the top spot in ICC test rankings. Yippie!! This feat IMHO isn't just a fluke. India has been playing great cricket for last few years. The fielding has improved and the players are more professional. I think the ground work started ... http://sameek.com/2009/12/08/number-1-in-tests.html Its been a few days since I reached here. And boy, It feels so good. Sometimes its difficult to believe that I missed the heat, humidity, insane crowds, bad roads and incessant rain but its true. As a true calcuttan, I am proud to say that I missed Kolkata more ... http://sameek.com/2009/09/23/in-kolkata.html Today I watched KAMINEY. My first impression was..."Wow! This is pretty original." The story was pretty good. The acting was good. But i guess shahid kapoor can emulate a little less of SRK. Priyanka was good as usual. The anti-social elements were portrayed in a near hollywood style. My favorite ... http://sameek.com/2009/08/17/kaminey-really-slick.html Readers be warned. This is not an article about the health hazards of wifi. No, I dont know or care about the lasting effects of long term exposure to 2.4 GHz readio waves. So why am i writing this entry? Well I almost became institutionalized because of it. Let me ... http://sameek.com/2009/05/15/wifi-its-bad-for-ya.html Found a great site. The Straight Dope. Its great and addictive. Can't believe some of the posts. http://sameek.com/2009/04/24/the-straight-dope.html I recently realised that I hate the picture "Anand" (the one with Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan). Why Sameek? It was a great picture and  one of the landmark films of India. Well, I don't care. The hell with stupid "Anand"! Ever since that film, people from all around India ... http://sameek.com/2009/04/17/babumoshai-and-regional-bias.html I dont think there has ever been a time in the History of Indian cricket that the team played like they are playing now. India was always the underdog and the fan was habituated to being diassappointed. But under Dhoni's captaincy, this team has added a new dimension. Even though ... http://sameek.com/2009/04/06/on-team-indias-latest-form.html Not much to say. Actually wanted to write a huge blog when the Sri Lanka team was attacked in Lahore.  Somehow got busy with other activities.  What happened on 30th March 2009, was pretty sad. This world is totally screwed up. N we are stuck with the worst neighbour possible. ... http://sameek.com/2009/03/31/what-is-happening.html Mumbai was never more than a city to me. Inspite of all the images on tv, movies and newsprint, the magic of mumbai never penetrated the thick skull of mine. So when i planned to visit mumbai, i was more excited to see my old friends after such a long ... http://sameek.com/2009/01/27/mumbai-memorabilia.html Even though I knew that Ghajini was a remake of of the Tamil film "Ghajini" which again borrows heavily from the English film Memento, I was expecting a lot from Aamir's new venture. My verdict......"UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT". Asin was good. Even though i felt she over-acted a bit, but the comedy ... http://sameek.com/2009/01/06/ghajini-a-test-of-patience.html
