Blog: Million miles away from nowhere.
Tujhse naraz nahi zindagi … perhaps an apt song aired on radio,from the movie Masoom. Its one movie in which Urmila Matondkar genuinely looked Masoom. My roomie and me are cracking jokes on somebody from the office. Its way past midnight 23 minutes to be precise, every second is a lifetime then 23 minutes into the new day is like getting into other dimension. I am waiting for Holi. I love eating Gujiya … alright I will post the snaps. It made of khoya and the tradition especially at my home is this sweet is the only sweet which is made at Holi. I like it coz that’s only once a year Holi comes and this sweet Gujiya is made. I relish it and have done so all my lifetime.
Facing the storm and not ducking to every bouncer.
I think when I started blogging, I wanted to also blog cricket at times I have lost my way and going overboard to blog only of cricket. It wasn’t meant to be. I would love to blog more about more issues. I have at times. But blogger do post up rant post and I post my *rants* though my cricket post. If and when I blog hop, I like to read all kind of stuff. Except sex, there is too much of it. I like reading anything that throws up a weird idea. I am typically out of people who prefer to be in vague rather than vogue. Underdogs shalt always win and I have no problem with being called an underdog. Its not that I may always win. But then it is always good to surprise people pleasantly and detractors gritting sour teeth.
Secret of success.
When do you back down saying enough is enough? For how long should one persist with one pride (shaan). I stand for the fact that every time is the right time to get a reality check in life. One can just keep meandering and not doing anything about ones own life. I think I have stuck myself to my own words and not really thinking as to what one does. I think doing things wrong or making mistake is better than doing nothing and say things will happen they had to happen. The sun will never rise if you decide to sleep all day. Not keeping ones word and breeching trust/faith/belief/confidence is the worst form letting down there could be. This obviously comes when one does not want to try hard enough. I think I have often not tried hard enough, be it CAT, MBA, my parents, friends, peers,my boss, to whom I report, my senior who thinks calmly over any issue related to running of power plant, girl friend. When she reads it she will surely call and say I did not understand why you wrote that. She does read it whenever she can. It also include my job selling and buying shares at times letting people down and at times drowning my own self by jumping the gun and playing all my cards all at one go. Do I have to be more patient and I am really lagging of. Old habits die hard but what about new bad ones?
Realistic, Practical.
It may seem I am undermining myself over something. There are people who do it, I have a closest friend of mine who does it much to my chagrin. Its not that I take out the drums and go round the town singing my own supposedly great deeds, but I accept the compliments and prefer to bury them ASAP and look for more coming my way. I have always said to myself that I can’t please everyone but the ner ones if office/professional life or in personal life should be taken into account.
Conquer my mind.
Procrastinate. Everyone does. I don’t know when I last took a break. I think I haven’t earned one, When do you take a break? When you have done enough which take enough out of you. You can’t take a break when you are in the middle of a break down. Not a mental break down and running out of options. I think I will get bored down if I take a break. It is very important to win over your thinking process and reign in the senses. That’s where I think character and principles comes in.
But is the magnanimity slowly taking a back seat. I can see no one letting down and accepting ones wrong. It seems no mind to uphold their own point and they don’t mind going any lengths to do so.
More on Holi ...
I am perhaps an ordinary planner but when I do plan something I feel things just fall in place. Do you travel by trains? Booking online is a super cool option. I have decided to use that option. Its jus ten rupees over the ticket cost. I or for that matter anyone would be happy to pay. Anyone who has ever registered themselves for an email id can do. I don’t know bout traveling by flight and booking those tickets online. IRCTC is good really good. At least sitting in an AC office premise and clicking a few left clicks and punching the keyboard gets me whether tickets are available. It make it really easier rather then going to the station, get in queue and only get a wait listed ticket.
It all about colours. A welcome to warm summer mornings and chilled glass of buttered milk at lunch, blazing 3 o’clocks and a humming fan just before sleep take over and a bow of sweat which breaks it sometimes after dawn.
Sunday fun day.
The day of Saturday is working for we, so its no weekends for me its just a weekend. I and my friend get an office vehicle we go to Surat, devour chicken in some decent Surat restaurants, shop for grocery st Big Bazaar, check out for a few bargains in a near by Mall. I go kurtas, white one for my father and me on 60% discount. I have promised my mom that I will take her for shopping as well. I exactly don’t know what to buy, coz I am unaware of shades of color, and the cold deadly stare convinces we that Womens floor on any mall is a must not go place for me, I prefer checking out lining shirts, blue denims and black trousers or cotton trousers. I have to buy them this summer. I don’t mind taking a sneek look at earrings. Not for me though ;p never was into any accessories whatsoever. I had a pearl gifted to me, I had a ring which I wore for sometime. I also have a emerald or some green colour stone ring. Lets get into flashback to know their last where abouts.
Buying anything as gift for fems sends a cold shiver up and down my spine, gives me sleepless nights and I feel like I am a million miles away from nowhere.

Cricket: Alls well that ends well
India beat Aussies 2-0. It was for once that the heart won and brains lost.Believe me I am still rejoicing the sweet taste of victory.I wanted to blog this last night but then really couldn't muster a computer,a net connection and my sleep plus I had to see the highlights as well. I have seen it several times now, here several pertains to multiple of half dozens.
He is the soul and sole leader.
Dhoni has tonnes of ability. His keeping has been as good as any, minus the drop catch in the final Final. He has taken some amazing catches and stumpings. He has been a good keeper, an ace on first serve. He is not asking people to set example, he is setting them up.He has been there finishing games, cause he is a good finisher.He seems to be always in control and relies exclusively on madness. he has given chances to people and has reaped tremendous benefits.Ganguly kept on winning series after series but never actually contributed in as a player. His test matches away from home were built on foundations laid by Dravid (Adelaide, Rawlapindi,Leeds, Kolkatta) and at Home on experience of Kumble and Sachin.But we must credit him with backing the young guns and getting the maximum out of them.Ganguly built the team around him but then fitness issues and politicking has let him down out of favours. Dhoni mean while is straight out of Ganguly stable but slowly made a name of his own through his charismatic power plays and charm. he has build a team of his own. He fought for what he wanted won us the T-20 and fought again for a team and won us the CB series.
Opening still an issue.
No matter what, opening will be a bane of Indian cricket this time around there were too many. Ganguly was dropped or else there would be only opening batsmen in the line just count this, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Sehwag, Gambhir, Uthappa. But then I think Gambhir has proved himself enough, ie in the T-20 and CB series. I think he should be opening the innings. He is a good runner between wickets and pulls, hooks, cuts and drives well. he is a very good player of the spin. Dale Steyn would be a good test for him but alas he wont be playing test. Sehwag is firmly fix and I am clueless of Jaffer.
Bowlers running in rhythm,hitting the right notes and looking on song.
Ishant Sharma ... find of the series. He looked really good and made Ponting look like an ordinary Punter. It is only befitting that Ponting gave his due before the series ended.Pathan looked in control before the two finals. he did his it though at the death under pressure. The first final is when Hayden stuck into him and belted him all over. Dhoni as a keeper and captain made the right moves. I was apprehensive he thrusted Piyush Chawla. He bowled well though and help Bhajji picking up Hayden and Symonds in both the finals. Praveen Kumar was a suprise too. He look slow but his deliveries skids on to the batsmen. He accounted for Ponting in both the finals.
Tendulkar ... wow
He atlast answered prayers that he smashed a century under pressure to steer India in the first final. The inning was an example of typical Tendulkar innings,he played on eh top of the bounce, fliked and pulled. He was simply superb. He delivered the goods, he batted and score and India won.
Gilchrist hangs his cloak and cape.
Well Gilchrist had been a superman. He played man a innings in which he flayed. He was as good as keeper any the game has see. H was the greatest perhaps. I wonder what Andy Flower thought of him and what Gilchrist thinks of him as a keeper bat. But then this takes nothing away from Gilchrist. He was awesome. Lets join in and bid adieu who has taken the game of Cricket a notch up,a higher pedestal. Gilchrist well done.
Controversy has a new name.
Lets rechristen controversy, thou name shalt be Andrew Symonds. He found opportunity to get under Indian bowlers skin. Sreesanth, Bhajji, Ishant it was good that all of them bowled him over at some point in his career. He is too intimidating and proves his intelligence by researching ways to get out.
Look Under 19 won too.
Duckworth Lewis came to rescue to revise South Africn after they were reduced to three wickets on 6 runs. Well played boys.
A few finds of the tour.
Lets sit back and savour the victory.

A few finds of the tour.
- Gambhir's reliability.
- Ishant incisive bowling.
- Yuvraj's batting form.
- Tendulkar century. :D
- Rohit Sharma ipmressive batting, I still feel that dravid has a role play and Rohit playing with Dravid can only help Rohit Sharma.
- Piyush Chawla bowling, he looked good in Engand.
- A victory in ODI series after they were forced to loose the Test Series.
- The future of India cricket looks good.
Lets sit back and savour the victory.
