On Kobe, Chandrababu and Atalji ...

Just finished watching Game 4 of the Spurs-Lakers series. Much as I would love to see the Lakers lose, it would be hard not to appreciate Kobe Bryant's 42 points - I mean some of those shots would have made Jordan proud. Looks like having a day in the field (i.e. a visit to the courthouse in Colorado) before the game seems to light a fire for the dood ...

hopefully the spurs will be able to bounce back on home court.

on a totally different court, a landslide victory for the congress in AP has really set the wheels in motion for a surprising reversal in fortune for the ruling NDA in India. Turned out that making lavish amenities available for campuses of top software companies was not enough in a state where severe drought has left the common man without water (or so i hear is one of the main contentious issues about the TDP governance). The AP Lok Sabha results will almost certainly follow the same trend ... and with the Congress already talking of Dr. Manmohan Singh as a possible candidate for PM - uncertainty looms large as the possibility of a hung parliament grows higher, and political parties frantically make moves for getting enough support to form a government ... time for Atalji to retire?
