Cricket from the world of forward mails

Forward mails can be a real pain but at times they do bring in some smiles. I recently got this forward message regarding cricket which I thought of sharing... Enjoy The Sledging in Cricket .. You thought cricket was gentleman's game think again... Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes - who was unable to get his bat anywhere near the ball. McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered up during one particular over and inquired: " Why are you so fat?" Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every tim e I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit ." Even the Aussie slip fielders were in hysterics. Ian Healy's made a legendary comment which was picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... " You don't get a runner for being an overweig unfit, fat c*nt!" Its common knowledge that I

Badness Quotient

‘Bad’ in all its forms and manifestations implies something negative to human senses both morally and objectively. Like all adjectives it is also relative to its context. There are frames of references which contain the test subjects and we can apply valuation theory to be certain of an act or object being good or bad but applying in wide social world with our improper understanding of the context can lead to absurd results.

I must say that you really missed the point in your post. I agree growing up involves experiencing all the negative emotions but its about the triumph of your positive self over the so called negative ones. Growing up is a life long process and it never stops but the day our positive self eclipse the negative self we are grown up..the age hardly matters. Here I must tell you the things I have learned as I have grown up. 1) For every cold dark night there is warm day waiting round the corner. 2) We never know what we have till we loose it and never know what are we missing till we get it. 3) Failure is never final till we stop trying. 4) The good and bad adds to the flavor of life and without one the other is meaningless. 5) Every moment lived is a new experience in itself. 6) Hope is the best thing a man can have. 7) To be lo
