National day is around the corner, show your patriotism already!

However, India lost to Sri Lanka in a vital group match yesterday by 69 runs, indicates the end of their world cup journey. The early elimination sank a billion of hopes – it was indeed a major disappointment, if not humiliation for India. Some of the fans cried badly, and some aggressive fans even expressed their anger at the team by burning portraits and flags. While this is clearly not the best way to cure their disappointment, it is rather understandable because cricket is already part of their life, just like how soccer can be so important in Brazil.

Anyways, nothing can change the fact – the better team won. The only thing India can do is, understand their own weaknesses, improve it, and do better next time :-)

Formula One first race in season 2007 is set to start tomorrow in Melbourne, Australia.

F1 is my favourite auto racing sport since 10 years ago, back then I was a hardcore McLaren fan and a typical anti-Ferrari (Schumacher to be precise) for some reasons. Throughout the years, though McLaren has been under-achieving or rather inconsistent, Kimi Räikkönen is definitely my favourite driver, he put some brave display especially in season 2003 and 2005.

This year however, there are some big changes – Schumi has retired, my dear Kimi has joined Ferrari, and my disliked driver – Fernando Alonso is now in McLaren. I’m in total dilemma now – whom should I support? I’m definitely a big fan of Kimi regardless where he goes (weee he has just won the pole position this morning) but I still like McLaren – both of them are serious title contenders and I’ve to end up supporting both >_< It’s more difficult than choosing a gf I tell you!

Nevertheless, it’s an interesting season to watch – first year without Schumi, Bridgestone being the sole tires provider, promising fresh faces like Lewis Hamilton and whatnots. Now what? Get ready for Melbourne race-day tomorrow!

Update: Congrats to Kimi for winning the race in his Ferrari debut :-) cheers
