President Bush and Cricket....

Is there anything that this man cannot do.... LOL. Just found these pictures of President Bush playing soft ball cricket @ the US Embassy in Pakistan....



President Bush hitting the ball and then striking a pose (probably he hit a four or a six or may be completed a 50 or a 100)....



He is bowling a ball and in the other hand is ready with another, to bowl the next ball... No time wasting tactics....

After he retires, he has position of commentator waiting for him....

This is Cricket.....

I loved to play cricket like every other Indian does. Business kinda used to come to a stand still if India was playing a game..... This is one sport where Sikhs, Bishen Singh, Maninder Singh, Navjot Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Montey Singh to name a few, in past and in present have excelled. I have noticed that cricket is coming up fast in North America too with Canada has its team playing internationally, and in USA locally lots of clubs play cricket as well ... Some pictures from the years when cricket used to be played in whites only....


A keeper, three slips, a gully and an extra cover... an aggressive cricketing off side fielding strategy....

Vande Mataram not to be sung by Sikhs

After the objections raised by a section of the Muslim community, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has asked Sikhs not to sing the national song Vande Mataram on its centenary on Thursday.

"Vande Mataram will not be sung in SGPC-run schools. It's a conspiracy to extend communalism thoughout the nation," SGPC chief Avtar Singh Makkar said on Wednesday. Most SGPC-run schools are government-aided.

We have a really strong leadership. Strong in doing Flip Flopps.... However, SAD (Shiromani Akali Dal) still stand the ground of not letting the Govt. or opposition BJP impose singing of Vande Mataram on Sikhs...

Some Quotes of Steve Irwin....

"Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate".

"I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it"

"Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know".

"Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart".

"Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building".
