The INDIAN OIL CUP series starts today in Sri Lanka, featuring INDIA, SRI LANKA and WEST INDIES. First match between India and Srilanka.
I just cant wait to finish work and meet up with friends at the JUHU pub, our hangout spot during cricket matches. This time it may be different, instead of abusing the Indian Team, we would be throwing choicest of words at the Maharashtra Government. It will be more of sharing stories of 26th July night….rather then just watching the match on the big screen.
I think we all deserve this break from what all happened this week. India wins or not is another issue….we will be there celebrating the TRUE MUMBAI SPIRIT.
PS - India won the toss and choose to bat. We are currently at 28 runs for 2 wickets. Both are openers have been dismissed by the opposition.

Read about another incident of ‘Happy Slapping’ in London. So i did a little search on google and this is what i found.
According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
‘Happy slapping is the term used to describe the phenomenon of one or group of teenagers slapping or striking a stranger while an accomplice films the assault using a camera phone or smart phone. It is said to have first become popular in South London, but has spread across the United Kingdom. Although the concept of filming a crime is an old one, the use of video cameras in mobile phones means that such attacks need not be planned carefully beforehand and are more easily watched and circulated afterwards. Some commentators have have said the craze is inspired by television programmes Jackass and Dirty Sanchez. Others have treated the issue as a moral panic which inflates the importance of the issue.Happy slapping can often become more violent than a mere slap. Sometimes the assault is performed with other crimes, such as mugging and rape. Variations of the “happy slap” have been reported in Northern Ireland, where groups of youths have filmed vicious attacks on firecrews. Two youths were convicted for setting fire to a man during a “happy slap” in 2005. On 8 June 2005, it was reported that a 17-year-old girl was shot with an air rifle and filmed in Wortley area of Leeds, Britain. On 18 June 2005, British police arrested three 14-year-old boys for the suspected rape of an 11-year-old girl who attended their school. Authorities were alerted when school staff saw footage from the students’ mobile phones.’
With the MMS facility already been misused in India, for example porn movie clips of Bollywood stars and school students being circulated around. I wonder how long will it take the ‘HAPPY SLAPPING’ phenomena to reach this part of the world !!
We all have a right to express our views. In many instances; it will be against ours and in some; with us. To hear them out is 'decency' but to let them get to you is 'weakness'. More info
