INDIA’S T-20 FIASCO

Yepp…I’m back.. Wanted to hit my laptop keys badly for so many days..But I guess it was worth the wait. What really brings me back, is nothing great than our own Indian Cricket worshipped by billions in India & world over.

April 30^th’2010 – ICC T-20 WC  kicks off in The Caribbean.

India, underdogs’ after getting out of the tournament the previous time, being the reigning champions then, kick off to an expected good start against the Afghani Talibans’. Next match bestowed India with another win against The Proteas.

Top of the Table in Group C.

India; the first team to qualify for the super-eights with an all win record in the league. Well done India J

May 07^th’2010 …

India has Match with The Kangaroos.

My friends & Me planned to watch the match over some drinks in Xtreme sports bar. Managed to reach there after much hassle, only to find our destined abode crammed. ‘sob-sob’ My idea of fun goes flop & we retreat. Nay, how can we.. We head to B-flat Bar nearby…cozy seating..Candlelight..One on one drinks..Ambience was perfect. While India gave us the reason not to cry over unwatched game with lowered Spirits in the Xtreme Sports. I had Cosmo’ to start with, then a walk on the beach concluded with an Irish Coffee was worth the High spirits we were in without the Xtreme Sports.

May 09^th ‘2010…

India needs to win against the Hosts’ to keep chances of going thru the semis alive..Alas!! They do what they are best in..Disappoint the zillions waiting @ home . Somebody stated in FB, please come back..don’t embarrass us against the Lankans now.

May 11^th ‘ 2010 …

India take on the previous time finalists & neighbor ‘Sri Lanka …

I am in office & my colleague comes & asks, ‘not watching the match… you got the television right over.’ I am like, ‘nay..have better things to do’. Finished some interesting’ work & head towards the cafeteria to find people still hoping for an Indian win to savor some pride.

I guess somebody had to remind the Captain, that they were playing T-20 WC & not Test match…Pathetic display by the Indian captain in the span of time I saw the match.

Who cares…got cab to catch… we leave….

May 12^th- 1:53 am – get a sms from Manoj “Indian Cricket deserved it”.

I had no updates, so Googled for the exact status…hmmm.. The Lankans won .. Congrats..

I reply, “Chill bhaiya..when we expect more..nothin happens..”

Manoj,” You call it expecting more shiv? Just one out of the 3 matches. Forget qualifying for the semis. At least they should have managed to win one out of 3. Then I wouldn have send this message.”

Obvious reasons..When it’z about Cricket- emotions do run High !!

My explanation was on the lines that the team was quite High in Spirits after beating the Afghanis  and The Proteas, & the Hangover prevented them from even performing remotely well in the next three encounters. The Indian Captain had just snatched the IPL championship from the favourites Mumbai Indians..went till super-eight( improved since last time)

Don’t blame the poor fellow..he played cricket till he drank 4 litres of milk everyday… Too much of socializing..oops.. I meant cricket’ & 4 beers substituting the milk.. took a toll of the lad.

Disclaimer - MSD.. No offence.. Though Beer has never the solution to any problem, neither has Milk been.. Your personal choice.. I just want India to rise n' shine J


[P.S. – thanks Manoj bhaiya..for your high on emotion msg.. I did something I was cribbin’ for in so many days J ]

THE WAR OF THE BRAINS

Is writing a new post that difficult?? .. "it is" - says my left brain.. "Nay its not", averred my right brain... Well all depends on that very moment..That very thought of yours, how you capitalize is important … sometimes, it’s so trenchant that  I don’t even take five sweet minutes to literate my thoughts, but sometimes it goes a mammoth way to create something out of my immaculate mindset !!!

This emotional turmoil we get sometimes actually results from the discrepancy between our two supreme governing bodies. Both of them perceive things in different ways & they don’t get what the other half is all about. The left brain tends to dismiss anything significant coming into consciousness from its "flaky" cranial twin..

I couldn’t handle this creepy jiggling anymore, being a subtle mind, I followed my right brain & initiated the post, while the twin asserted itself as the post.

Well the war will go on..As it has,from years unprecedented. So it’s for us to decide who we allow the upper hand...the rational or the intuitive !!

PERCEPTIONS

The West Wind has been pushing me to write a blog, since she discovered that I write … and there is some substance in my writing… may be she wanted to see, whether I write it on my own or copy-paste it, as normally is a student’s approach for completing assignment. [Heyy you must be thinking, how can I refer west-wind as she  ... well The West Wind is a human…girl to be precise…& ma dearest friend to be personal … her blog name is The West Wind ;)]
So, Miss West Wind, this one’s for you… I don’t know, what I am going to pen down (infact punch down)
Hmmm…Let’s do some serious stuff…what do you think about Life …
“The condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally”’ … God that’s confusing!!!
Few years before, six years to be precise … I got damn frustrated, don’t remember the reason though… but that’s where I gave a thought … what Life is…
Life to mother expecting her child, would not be just the sperm meeting the egg and forming the zygote (smaller than the size of a grain) or the XX & XY chromosome’s pondering about their  merger..But… the feeling of an entire small entity belonging to her, whose every action is going to take her pain, which she went through the child-bearing days in a whisker and burst it into millions of smiles!!
Next is what…not Samsung …but the journey of a lone warrior trying to save his honour as he lets out a shrill war cry plunges into the scrimmage…outcome – Unknown – the only known thing – to save his honour and pride … meaning of Life changes for him!!!
 An artist-in a languid mood- life to him is the inspiration that drives him towards his most beautiful creation acknowledged by the art seekers. Life doesn’t remain as a machine pumping blood to the body, instead a feeling which makes his heart send smiles across his persona.
Life to a person abducted by some ruthless hijacker is to be foolhardy enough to try & seize the control out of the hijacker … the impregnable look in his eyes not for giving his life away…but to live…
The birds flying down every winter, life to them is being pliant and patient.
Going pretty good,.
Life’s when Roger Federer sat in his sideline chair, listening to the music, gazing into the distance—the glassy-eyed look of the winner of the most Grand Slam titles in history  having lost not to Rafael Nadal or Andy Roddick, but Juan Martin Del Potro,the 6th seeded, 6-foot-6 Argentine deprived  Federer of his 6th  straight title at America’s Grand Slam.
Life's when your beloved leaves you with your heart aching with the feeling of emptiness & silent tears rolling down your cheeks ..
Life means three old friends, three separate corners of the world & one internet messenger !!
I can continue this argument on and on from the various perspectives of life but, The way in which we want to live life, we don’t get to, something which we have ,we disapprove of it…  everything changes so easily as if nothing ever happened, sometimes a spine-chilling experience whereas sometimes nothing actually to define .
Life may be, not sure, but like 3D..as everything’s not good and everything’s not bad…something or the other keep’s on changing… we living beings are so into putting our perspective of life into others mind that we rarely get to understand life…  you know what, we hate things going around us sometimes, and that’s only to make us realize…there are things to be taken care of… there are things nice and not so nice, reason being, we spend our time foolishly against learning something.  Things of timid nature rarely get themselves acknowledged by the homo-sapiens.  I mean just taking everything in a stride and making a NO out of nothing…

Life is not all about speculation , it’s to commemorate the things you went through and being wiser the next time.
Life to me is being precious !!
