Action - Reaction

Number of times we do stuff that we don't actual want to do but we do - its more of a reaction to something else thats happening!! Well what I am talking about is stuff like...

" you NOT hitting ur tennis shots right bcoz u have had a fight at home or u had a rough day at work" {trying to take as arbid an example I can :-)}

Ofcourse this one falls in the caregory of direct reaction....these ones are easy...you know u are angry/frustrated and thats why you are behaving the way you are. Anger and frustration are NOT the only emotions to trigger off our reactionary mechanism. It can be any emotion..Happiness, Sadness..I mean anything.

Sometimes we do things that we don't even know as reaction to WHAT? Well.. U will be suprised at how an animal's body reacts to different things. Please read this if you are in any doubt.

I told ya :-).

Interesting article I came across today while brushing thru the Olympic news.

Pamela Anderson spurs Bhardwaj to silver


Reuters

Athens, August 18:

A cheque for $25,000 from Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson spurred Mohini Bhardwaj to capture an Olympic silver medal with the American women's gymnastics team at the Athens Games on Tuesday.

Earlier this year, Bhardwaj was deep in debt and could not afford to attend the US Olympic trials in June. Friends at her home gymnasium in Los Angeles sold raffle tickets on her behalf. One of her friend's mothers offered one to a neighbour, who happened to be Anderson.

Rather than buying a raffle ticket, Anderson -- a former gymnast herself -- chose to visit the gym and promptly handed over the cheque to a startled Bhardwaj.

The Baseball Game

In 1866, Charles A. Peverelly wrote, "The game of baseball has now become beyond question the leading feature of the outdoor sports of the United States ... It is a game which is peculiarly suited to the American temperament and disposition; ... in short, the pastime suits the people, and the people suit the pastime."

And this is exactly what I felt when I {at last} made it to my first baseball game in the US (where else could I have witnessed a BB game anyways….considering the fact that my chances of watching a BB game in Japan are quite remote). The ballpark was bustling with activity. It was terrific!! It was electric!!

The Arlington Ballpark

One thing that really catches your eye as soon as you enter the stadium is the COLORS. Lotsa reds/blues/greens all over the stadium. And being the Desis that we (myself and the bunch that was with me) are, we could NOT resist but compare the view there to a fully packed cricket stadium back home. We were unanimous in our observation that the stands here were MUCH more colorful than they are in a cricket stadium (in terms of the clothes ppl wear..its a different thing that the cricket stands in South Africa are as colorful, for the lack of the same ;-)

We had a small discussion about this as we were still standing in one of the "expensive ticket" areas and watching the game without much of a problem to ourselves, and surprisingly... to others too. Not a single soul in the 30,000 capacity almost-packed stadium had any problem with us standing where we were (with an occasional glance from a part-time "policing "guy who was trying to keep pace between watching the crowds and the game)

Anyways we concluded that the lack of "colourful" colors back home can be attributed to low quality of the fabric that does NOT retain the color over time. Well....ya..we could NOT come up with a better one. And then came the moment I was waiting for.....HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEEE RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ...........The first home run that we witnessed as the ball sky rocketted into air and landed close to where we were standing..we felt one with the game (LOL....sorry could NOT stop laughing at that line...myself).

The whole stadium went into a frenzy....Noise all around..and the Rangers were leading 4-0.

Eventually, after battling huge queues to get some "american food" {read: hotdogs /fries} we started our ascent towards our Alcohol-free stand. We did manage to reach there before the game was over and to tell u the least the view was awesome !!!! Then there was the Birthday parade..followed by some quizzes..the chicken dance..and NOT to forget the mexican wave. It was one fun day....wonderful experience....wonderful feeling just to see people come out and enjoy...have fun....and just eat and drink on a WEEKDAY...it makes you feel better.....

"ke hai ..aur bhi hai duniya me ghalib apne jaise"

As for the game itself Rangers beat the Yankess 7-0 :-)
