Meetings

[Crib Alert]

Meeting in the Morning,
Meeting in the Lunchtime,
Meeting till the Sun goes down.

What does a mere mortal do when his work-week is filled with day-long meetings? Compose poetry in William Henry Davies' style (Leisure):

What is this life if, full of meeting,
We have no time to do our coding.

No time to sit inside the cube
And code as long as sky is blue
No time to test, when coding we pass,
Where bugs can hide behind the Subclass

A poor life this if, full of meeting,
We have no time to do our coding.

Cricket World Cup and the IPL

Kids have Vacations
Professionals have Leaves
Dhoni and his boys have None

The BCCI is super-rich. Are they super-stupid too?  A 5-day vacation for our cricketers after a grueling 6-week long world cup. Cricket is BIG money. It sells like nothing else in India. But this is excessive greed I say. Hope the BCCI does not cull the goose that lays the golden egg. The only plausible explanation for this messed up schedule could be that BCCI didn't expect India to reach the final. Sigh!
