Series gone.

It's flattening, but vertically.

Just after I commented here I came across this tweet. Paytm completely left in the dust.

I don't think PayTM has much of a moat. Wallets are dead any everyone uses UPI now. There are dozen UPI apps in the market which are all clones of each other. Using one UPI app doesn't restrict you from sending money to anyone, as all you need is a UPI ID or QR code. From personal experience atleast Google Pay seems to be the most popular one so it's not like PayTM is a market leader either.

Modi baba has apparently given aadesh to increase speed of children's vaccinations which makes me wonder why they weren't approved earlier. What an asinine thing to say 1 f**king week after they were just started.

Well, we tried.

They still work like it's 1965. All of our office work can be done on a PC at home. Yet head office requires us to travel to office (now only once every 2 days) and work there so we are available for communication via telephone.

We're losing advantage. Need 100 more runs. Good innings by Rahane and Pujara, others need to emulate them.

DoPT released order today for Central Government employees. 50% have to attend while other 50% work from home. Disabled and pregnant employees fully exempt.

What was that Mayank? All upto Pujara and Rahane now, if they don't contribute this Test could be gone. We are practically 17/2.

There are also little to no restrictions on nationwide or statewide levels. Only see local restrictions in Mumbai, Pune etc. People aren't even wearing masks anymore and there is little being done to enforce it.

I like Rahane, but I don't think he has much longer left. He looked in great touch in the first Test, but threw away a good start in the 1st innings, then got out looking for quick runs in the 2nd. Hopefully he can do better in the 2nd innings here; we need it.

They're just coming up with new bullshit acronyms. 25 crore people have been reported to be infected by Covid during the pandemic and maybe hundreds of crores more cases have gone unreported. Influenza typically infects 5-15% of the world every year, so that's several crore cases again. It is IMPOSSIBLE that this is the first case where someone has had both Covid and flu at the same time. There must have been atleast thousands more.

Magnificent win. Good batting on Day 1 was enough. Bowled them out for under 200 in each innings, in around 2 sessions each.

Lead of 270, winning total already I think. Should add 40-50 quick runs before declaring.

A follow on would have been very useful here to push the match ahead but looks like we will have to bat again and set a target.

Why are we playing like England? ? Let's get to 320 at least.

What a chutya system. Players can't choose the team they want.

Question for everyone. How do you set up charging points for electric cars/2 wheelers? We have our own parking section in our building.

What a bloodbath today. Only thing in green is the N100 Etf.

शुभ दीपावली ?

Got both doses. No side effects for 2nd dose. Will be commuting to work by local next week onwards because I can't afford driving every day.

This was a problem from the start. This was way back in May: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2021/05/25/england-resist-request-rearrange-test-series-india-accommodate/ The worst thing that could have happened in this situation happened. It was a choice restarting the IPL on time (paisa), and giving this Test the best chance. This was one of the best tours we have had in a long time (after the Aus tour earlier this year) so its a shame its ended this way

Game over.

Good stuff from Anderson.
