Madagascar - following in the footsteps of sequels

Frankly this movie was a huge disappointment but the whole trip to the movie was the best experience we had - a bit of contradiction.
First the movie - the story line is extremely weak and luckily they keep it short and sweet. Fun part is restricted to the "King", the monkeys and the penguins.

Only people like us who were taking their kids for their first movie (and subsequent movies) will enjoy the movie.

Rahul Dravid and other old men

Finally Rahul Dravid has scored a century, for this a lot of people especially ex-cricketers like Ravi Shastri will say things like how you cannot forget the 10,000+ runs etc. Sir – an Indian cricket team has place for 11 best people only, there is no obligation to carry baggage for so long. Especially in these days when cricketers make such a lot of money at the international level - tolerance for non-performance should be minimal.

Yes Dravid – I have to use this harsh term and it is you who has brought it on yourself.

The second innings brought back familiar memories of failure. It is high time Dravid retires or is then kicked out. Laxman and Tendulkar are next in line. But will their egos allow them to take the correct decision or then will the Indian team have to suffer their seniority
