The old coloradon story I am not the one who writes two blogs in a day but this has to be 'ged before I forget. There is an old coloradon story of two men. The first which had a gut feeling of finding a huge gold reserve in some part of the mountains. He invested a lot of money and bought all the machinaries needed. Took him months to bring the machines to the place he thought will have gold beneath it. Lots of sweat and unbelievable labor, when he started digging. Days passed by, months and months but nothing. People started calling him insane, laborours started leaving him. He got frustated. He was made to believe there was no gold there. He sold all his machines as scraps and left the place in dejection. BTW, the second guy was the one who bought the machines. Before he had to move the machines back to the ground and sell it, he wanted to give it a shot. He started digging and found the huge gold reserve just two feet under where the first guy had left it. The second guy became a millionaire. Now, what happened to the first guy? He heard the story of the huge gold reserve finding. No question about how he would have felt it. But he gathered himself and invested what he had left in other businesses. He ended up becoming a multi-millionaire himself a few years later. He attributed his success to the immense experience he gained in the mining business. If you believe you are right, don't give up just because the world thinks so. Just dig two feet more!

I hope the Indian cricket team is keeping tab on whats going on in Ashes. One absence of McGrath in Aussies', and English went on a kill. This is called the confidence. Not like the mighty Indian batting line up who couldn't produce nothing even in the absence of three core team players in the Lankan team. First match - Jayasurya with a broken arm snatches the victory, Second match - After being down 96-6, Lankans could steady the innings and snatch it again. Time is ripe for Rahul and his gang to go to the basics and learn something from the English folks!
