About our ‘Men in Blue’. After the 4th test thrashing, the mood in the team was undoubtedly Blue’ and some were left Blue in the face explaining the outcome. Guys who are a spent force turn Blue Blooded’ hanging on to their past laurels . The young talent deprived of an opportunity to play burn in Blue flame. If we don’t learn our lessons quickly, we will continue to be beaten ‘Black and Blue’. The stain will show even if we change our colours to dark Blue. But to end on a happy note, Bumrah was our Blue-eyed Boy !

It just occurred to me that talking a blue streak could be added to your list! I could be accused of that!!!!

I am so sorry that your wrist is still in a cast but it doesn’t get you down as you continue to type away with brilliance. Patience and it will be good as new.

I like the way you hop, skip and jump from one topic to another. This makes FC so interesting. Today from Spell Bee (I humbly submit to the brilliance of today's kids in spelling) to the complexities of the English language (which I love, love, love) to the language of emojis... I do think that more and more, people use emojis out of sheer laziness to type out a response (I've done it at times). Where will we go next in language - to emojis of raised eyebrows, wrinkle of the nose, twist of the lips. I go to Google to find out when someone has used a new emoji. Next will be joining a training program on emoji use. I am waiting for the next FC which, regretfully will come on on 5th Jan 2025. Happy new year, Prasanna.

Loved your post though disappointed that the cast has been recast but happy that it has not cast a pall of gloom but you’re chirpy
