Yashpal Sharma... Why you got out??

Desperation on Dada's face.. like never before. Never have seen Sourav so pissed off.
He just walked out of the field so fast after the super over, was terribly dissappointed with himself.

Yashpal Sharma holds out in the deep, Sourav Ganguly was so frustrated that he could have kicked him in his genitals. KKR had the match in total control, had Yashpal Sharma and Sourav Ganguly stayed till the end, the Defending champions Rajasthan Royals would have licked dust.

Too many assumptions.. Right.. In the End, it was the brutal power of Yusuf Pathan that made the Royals realise that they were the team, which could repeat history.

Sourav got out in the penultimate ball, leaving Ishanth to face the last ball which lead to the super over.

Any sensible captain would have tossed the ball to a medium pacer, considering spinners could be easily picked on, even the great Shane Warne ruled himself out to bowl the super over and gave it to the young Kamran Khan.

Taking lead from Shane Warne, Brendum Mucullum captain of KKR should have given the ball to Ishanth Sharma or some other medium pacer, rahter than giving it to Ajantha Mendis which proved a disaster to KKR, nevertheless not taking any credit out from Yusuf for his monstrous hitting.

This Season 2 IPL has now arrived big time, thanks to yesterday's games, Daredevils v/s Superkings and RR v/s KKR.

IPL 2 now is widely open and the teams will have to fight hard to survive and stay on top.

British Blues!!

KP couldn't have been more cooperative! MS Dhoni the man with the Midas Touch, has for sure been blessed with great instincts and super cool "performing" team, the timing never bettered! 

Every time after being beaten by a professional Indian Team, KP seems to have succumbed to this plot of playing hosts to lose!

Indians for sure are at their top of the game, and it is one unfulfilled dream of every Indian, Sachin doing a LARA and Chennai gets that treat!

Even though ghosts of 1999 were haunting as Sachin started to play, this time the writing was on the wall considering Viru's scintillating stroke play which modernizes the best form of Cricket and keeps good crowd flow considering the events taking place around the country!

Viru-Ghambir combination is more fatal than Air-borne Nuclear missiles targeting terror filled Taliban!

Considering the form, skill level, India has all ingredients to kick ass Australia,SA to reach the top of the ladder in all forms of the game!

Dada tata!!

Sourav Ganguly, a leader of no parallel, a rebel of shrewdest kind, who brings the opposition to its feet within in no time, has called it a day. VRS they call, but for the man who has accomplished what no other Indian captain even dreamt, the treatment has been a little offset.

The most successful captain of Indian Cricket, has the best cricketing acumen compared to all his counterparts. It is Dada who showed the great Steve Waugh the backdoor, when he tried to win the last frontier in 2001. The most intimidating Aussie cricket team, was served with same medicine they used - vengeance. 

Most powerful mind games could be credited to this GOD on off side. The late coming for the toss, the superstitious bat changes, taking of his shirt at lords, the greatest sixes he hits on a spinner, how could one replace this legend. 

Among the Fab 4, the most aggressive and the most pampered by the media had proved more points than he could make. He came back so strong into world cricket once, that Dada would be remembered for not only his greatness with the bat, but also the enduring perseverance, love for the game and never say die attitude.

As Ajay Jadeja says, "Sourav has accepted this with a golden handshake", one must realise the farewell to one of the greatest cricketers India has produced is still a little uncomplimentary. 

Bid Adieu to the Prince of Kolkatta!!

Privacy.. Microsoft ishytle!!

The new IE 8 beta comes with a feature called "InPrivate" to surf the internet.

Microsoft has applied for a trademark on this term, which it explains as follows:

 “Computer programmes for disabling the history of web cashing features of a web browser ... and for notifying a user of a web browser when others are tracking web use, and for controlling the information others can access about such use.”

Probably the functionality you always demanded to have, because privacy is what we would always love to have!!

May be we should say, Microsoft is "hearing it out" from the customers. These kind of innovations will lead to a better understanding and development of the "e" code of ethics for all people alike.

Happy privacy!! 

My First Pay Cheque !!

Technically speaking this Rs.600 from findnearyou.com, is my first pay cheque. So with the heavy responsibility of answering many people in the future about my first pay cheque, I write down this entry into my blog to ascertain truth.

For my one day work, covering a Dalai Lama weekend special, organised by Alliance Francaise de Madras, and also a movie screening of Himalaya a Nepalese movie, I have been paid, but it was a long wait to get the cheque in hand!! Thank you Sathya!! (err.... sarcasm)

The way I spent it was the thing I would love to tell, bought a Richard Dawkins Book "God Delusion", then followed by a super meal worth Rs.143 and not to forget that 100 bucks which I gave as charity.

Coming to the Charity part, I had never planned it but eventually happened. Rather convert that word to "picha" because I gave that to a fcuker called mamu for breaching the traffic signal.

So that piece of money is what they say "dharma thu ku!!"

Kill you cops!! (errr... Someday!!)

Down and Out!!

One is to blame himself, if his mood is very bad. Many people don't understand themselves, leave alone understanding others.

When you are really down and out, you don't see life the way you used to see before.

Loneliness could be a medicine if you were socializing too much, but an idle mind accrues thoughts in multiplying proportions which could lead to various unanswered questions in life, which might even sink you further.

Some say "thought" is faster than light, but when your mind is full of it you better chill!!

Anything and everything in this world if seen in a problematic dimension would definitely stare at you and keep starring until you take the eyes of it and move on for the solution.

A "solution" for every problem in this world is available. But the success of the solution lies in the implementation of the idea.

Keep thinking!! Keep solving!!

After all it is your life!!

Chennaiyul Oru Mazhalai Kaalam !!

"Seems cloudy, but wouldn't rain", is the most frequent comment on the Chennai clouds.

But it rained today!!

Situation 1:

A family of five, three young children, a mother and father, trying to cross the traffic signal. First, the eldest kid runs with the full energy across the road, then a hesitant second child sees mom and dad then the road and with a burst of joy seeing his elder brother run, breaks the shackles and runs forward to cross the road. The father has no answer. The mother with the youngest kid in her hand walks slowly to complete the episode of cross.

The youngest in the hand would have thought I have missed the chance of a lifetime if it were in full senses to realize this!!

Motorists on the road were watching the cloud, but I was more than curious to watch this most fascinating epilogue in life, which recited to me there were no barriers in this world if you lived a child's life.

Situation 2:

So finally when the rain came, I took shelter at a smoke hazard station ("potti kada") where people where enjoying the rain with a puff. Then came a thought to me, how unlucky I am, either I should smoke or have a girl friend to enjoy this rain..... but I don have both...... My life in dogs!! :)

Rain brings many good moments to man, but to realize what is good and bad to you is in your hands!! It seldom rains in Chennai. Relish it!!

Happy Raining!!
