#365DaysOfWriting – Day Seventy
70 days of writing!
I keep repeating myself, but there goes another milestone – I cannot believe that I’ve written for 70 days straight. Anyway, onward we march!
I took a Netflix subscription today.
It was staring me in the face – I gave in and subscribed to the free one-month trial. I’ve subscribed to the Standard Pack (2 screens with HD). A lot of great content, especially with the Netflix Originals and some old Indian classic movies like अन्दाज़ अपना-अपना (Andaz Apna Apna).
Is this the end of my TV-viewing days?
Not really. I’ll always turn to TV for sports – cricket, football, tennis etc. But if Netflix keeps adding to their library of great films/shows, I may not need to watch TV all that much. Netflix is still a lot more expensive than regular set-top box TV though – especially if you consider the quantity of content available. Quality though…
Talking about sport, Pakistan just beat England in a Lord’s test for the first time since 1996.
If you look at the scorecard, Yasir Shah and Misbah look like the heroes of the game, with a 10-wicket haul and a 1st innings century respectively, but a lot of credit for today has to go to Rahat Ali. His initial 3-wicket burst in England’s 2nd innings paved the way for the other bowlers to take over. And what sweet redemption for Mohd. Amir! 6 years after his spot-fixing humiliation at the same venue, he took the final wicket to seal Pakistan’s win.
And guess what – he did it without bowling a single no-ball.
