Have been pretty busy over the last week so could not write. Yes, I know this should not be an excuse, anyway it is :-)

So my daughter is now pretty independent with her bicycle. One good side effect is that I am able to run alongside her which also provides me good exercise. So I feel that my efforts in teaching her bicycle not only benefitted her but also me. I look forward to teh time that all three members of the family are able to go for long cycle rides together.

Talking about effort, I was amazed to see the Rajasthan Royals captain during the match today. RR were down 56/6 and yet this captain wouldnt give up. He put a gutsy performance to keep face. RR lost but I beleive Shane Warne won a lot of admiration. This was also true in the previous match when RR almost lost but ended up in a tie and won the tie breaker. He showed faith in a teenager Kamran Khan who has not had any exposure to even first class cricket. KK also lived uo to the expectations of the captain by helping level scores and then restricting runs in the super over. It was heartening to see the captain lead from the front. I wish we have many such managers(they are there but need more :-)) in the IT field as well.

Oh by the way I tried baking a chapati in the oven today(rolled chapati dough cut into diamond shaped pieces coated with very little butter). The outcome was yummy crispy wheat crackers..... Maybe I will try a chapati base pizza next time -

OK - thats it for today - bye!
