Sehwag

Update : Sehwag has raised the fastest
triple hundred as well. Now 2 out of 3
fastest are his.

Now, out of the 7 fastest double centuries,
3 belong to Sehwag. All 3 have come in
matches where the audience has been
conspicuous from its absence(in Multan
it was stadium crowd, in Chennai it is
television, in Lahore both).

Psychology tidbits

A fantastic movie : Oridnary People.
It talks about Survivor's guilt.
I am sure a lot of people are affected by this(survivor's guilt), and
this movie talks about it in a very effective manner.

It could have as well read like :
"The award was given , on the continued insistence of West Bengal Govt , in recognition of Tata's ability(or lack of it) for not backing out of Singur despite continued violent protests."
