Gruesome

how gruesome, can it get?
how much more worse
how much more the greed, can it get
no shame, no remorse
heads hang, shamed, destroyed

If their was even a faint light at the end of tunnel
show it please, in vain I try
If any soothsayer can see the end, please tell
let me hear, when can i sigh

Lenovo T430 wifi doesnt work on debian wheezy 7.1

Well, all because the firmware's are distributed as a non-free package.

1. add non-free to your apt-get (edit /etc/apt/sources.list)
2. do apt-get update
3. install 'firmware-iwlwifi' (sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi)
4. reboot

crossing over

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

years, echleons passed
day and night followed
cries and laughs drowned
like bubbles our lives vanished

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

sit down and see the sun set
see the flocks of birds returning
see the water flowing in that rivulet
see the long faces frowning

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

what if the aching heart pains
what if skies hold the rains

one day you will have crossed
one day pain would have ceased
the river here would be still flowing
the sun would still be setting
yeah, but, you would have crossed

Why Cricket sucks in India (Part II)

Part I is here.

Now that media and new paper have enough material going around, I feel I have already told you this is good. Good that the bad is coming out.

However, I damn care whether thats good or bad for cricket.

One batsman and 11 fielders standing idle is a game of Maharaja's.

Its a black spot in the the name of sports.

Even the Olympics council does not recognize it as a sports. Its a sports of the lazy, loosers.

If a nation full of lazy loozers are taken for a ride, I have no interest on the whole episode.

RIP, Cricket.
disclaimer.
I do not see cricket, and so most of my inputs are hearsay.
