Long hard batting sessions ahead of India now...

Yes, even I was intigued and started the show this evening. It was far too cold today as it is so cozy-ing up with a show and a cup of coffee was delightful. Watched a couple of episodes and it's not half as bad as the reviews state it to be. The cast is good and the acting solid so waiting to watch how it unfolds.

Even I read the same. But I'll take the plunge since it does have Saif.

Did you end up watching it? How is it?

Some thing that really blew my mind when I was playing today... Okay, so I was riding to the Post Office in Valentine to complete the Rock Carving quest when suddenly I heard a loud sound of a glass window breaking in a nearby building. I immediately brought my horsie to a stop and looked at the building to see a man had been thrown through a window onto the muddy road! The other guy (the husband) who had just thrown him out comes out and yells at him to stay away from his wife and lands a punch to his face... Eeek! The guy, although injured from being thrown through glass and what not stands up and says it was only just a peck on the wife's cheeks and then delivers his own ruthless beating on the husband. In his fit of rage, he beats the husband dead and then says "Maybe I'll go see your wife again and have a drink at the bar on my way to her" and goes back in to the bar like a mean antagonist! Whew!! I was like holy sh*t man... did that just happen, that was real as f**k! How does Rockstar even code something as random and believable like that which makes the world in their games that much more immersive. I swear I stopped gaming for a few minutes and just thought about the entire incident, it was so movie-like! I'm coming to RDR2 right after completing and spending 45+ hours on Cyberpunk 2077 (PC). I cannot even begin to fathom how CDPR could not include even one such, mind you... just ONE such random ped incident which mad me stop and actually ponder on the realism of the city. But no... all I ever stared at in CP2077 were mindless drones repeating same set of inane lines over and over again.

A terribly made sleazefest. What were Annu Kapoor and Milind Soman smoking when they decided to act in this show? This show should have never seen the light of day and the piss poor script should have been burned. But wait... there wasn't even a script, was there?! It was just some poor man's version of softcore erotica. And this show has actually garnered 8.2/10 on IMDB ratings with 931 User Reviews.

Play has been abandoned for Day 2. The umpires had a look at the conditions, it was a heavy downpour and the ground hasn't recovered well from the deluge. So, the final session has been washed out and India finish at 62 for 2. Tomorrow's forecast is good, but the same can't be said for Monday and Tuesday. Play will start at 9:30 AM (5 AM IST) from tomorrow onwards to make up for the lost time.

UPDATE - 05:40 GMT, 11:10 IST: All of a sudden, rain has stopped. That's a good start, now time for the groundstaff to get things ready for some more cricket.

I hope we don't start falling like a pack of cards now...

Has anyone watched the Hindi show "Paurashpur"? How is it?

Labuchampagne gone!

Another 350+ first innings total ahead.

NAS setups that I currently have running: The case is a Corsair 750D Full Tower with additional HDD bays bought separately. This houses a mix of WD RED and WD Purple drives in JBOD (manually copied, simplified). For additional SATA ports I have 2 X IOCrest SATA Expansion cards. This is my central Media Storage system that feeds all my TV's at home. Most of my TVs (Smart or not) have a separate PC connected to them and everything is hard wired at home (LAN). Data is shared from these drives and streamed as needed. This slave just serves: WD Core setups = 2 X 4TB WD My Book + WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra housing 2 X 4TB (WD Red). I have a 1 X 1TB ADATA External connected to the WD MyCloud EX2 via USB. This is used for saving photographs and documents. The other External drives (aka "Chamcha's") are connected to the Jonsbo box (silver box on the right). That is my core music streamer and feeds into my speakers at home depending on which setup I'm listening to. If I'm not using Jriver MC then it just sits and streams ambient music from TuneInPro. Additional fail-safe mag-drives (mix of WD Red, Purple and Blue) in my trusty Orico storage box:
