Defeated Sardar looses cool and slaps Sreesanth

What a childish act. It’s worse than school boys fight in local Cricket. Sreesanth cries after Harbhajan Singh, acting captain of Mumbai slapped him after defeat.

Points table IPL

At last the results are appearing some what clear from the Points table. All the 8 teams having played each other the points is clear. But the net run rate is not clear. And the organizers are not clear if rains come.

There is no D/L (Duckworth Lewis) method. May be SRK/Mallya method? Meanwhile I hear Chennai sponsor is Dayanidhi Maran through India Cements. Is it correct?

Team Mat Won Lost Pts Net RR
Kolkata 2 2 0 4 +3.764
Delhi Daredevils 2 2 0 4 +2.988
Chennai 2 2 0 4 +0.975

Bankers do it with interest

Silent Partner, a nice movie deals with a Banker stealing his own bank. The role played by Eliot Gould, who knows in advance (Christmas eve) that a certain man is going to steal the bank at gunpoint. The stealer knows that banker has got all the money and threatens him to share the money. The movie ends with the Banker cleverly escaping with all the money.

I enjoyed this movie several years back. Recently the son of my friend got married. Among several gifts there were a few gift cheques guess from whom? Bank employees! In my marriage also I received gift cheques from Bank employees.

    We forget to deposit these cheques as we get busy with new life, honeymoon and attending dinner parties. Only Bankers will have these kind of novel ideas to gift away cheques. They can show their loyalty in other ways.Sure Bankers do it with interest.

I remember a Woman Bank employee wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Bankers do it interest” in the movie!
