GO SOX!!!
what a set of games, eh!!! the Yankees are an amazing team, showing their mettle in the first 3 of this set of 7 Sox-Yankees matches. this after a good season as usual. I particularly love Jeter - his passion, attitude & energy are just so overpowering...
but, the Sox fought back, this time around. coming back from a 0-3 situation, to win the last 4 games, the last one in quite a spectacular fashion was just phenomenal. what team work & energy - each game had its "winners" - Ortiz, Damon, Arroyo, and finally Lowe. reminded me of India-Pakistan matches...
maybe you watched it, maybe you didn't. but, either way I love it when something grabs our attention so much that people forget to say "not much" or "kete jatche, kintu rokto porche na" when asked "what's going on" or "kemon acho"? at least in Boston, people seemed to have forgotten that a major & vital election is just around the corner.
should we forget that people are dying for no fault of their own, or don't have anything to eat, or some such thing?
absolutely not, but at least once in a while its great to focus on hope, on the achievements of mankind, both our own & those of others who have a dream, a vision for something "bigger" than simply our own lives, issues & problems. Gandhi & Martin Luther King come to mind. however, I also love it when we as a race, take a humongous step forward, when things like SpaceCraftOne making it to the edge of space, happen...
these are unbelievable times - good & bad - so here's wishing we feel happy & grateful that we've made it in life, unlike a lot of others who're still struggling to find an identity, or maybe some food.

Comments:
kudos for a well-written blog (a thought-provoking one) from at least one person who's really happy with life as it is today. and still reeling from the news on the iraqi soldiers who've been found dead today.
added a link to your blog from mine, so be prepared for a lot more comments :)
