Charge from the Deccans

It started with a simple step of winning the initial two matches. It was considered to be a blip or a fluke. Team's captain was content saying that they did better than the previous performance.

Fans like me were happy with the performance and were hoping that there was something big in store.

Then for the unimaginative we won, can you believe it we won shattering the hopes of delhiites and many other such cities. Not even Nostradamus would have predicted this. Best part was every department did well, expect few drop chances. More importantly bowling was a revelation, with only 4 full time bowlers we did a commendable job. The quality can be assessed by the fact that we won despite keeping Vas on bench for most part of the tournament. I think it’s a complete team effort which made this happen.

Though repeating myself, key aspect of this win, it did not happen because of one individual or because of one brilliant performance. Some of the key moments were Ohja’s bowling against Mumbai (This guy is going to spearhead the spin department for India in future), Rohit sharma’s all-round performance (earth shattering knocks against Punjab and Rajasthan, hattrick figures), Christ like innings by Gilchrist against Delhi, consistent performance by Symonds, economical bowling by R.P  and many more.

I don’t remember experiencing such drastic change in fortunes of any team/individual in any form of sports. Kudos to the team it brings hope to one and all that they can succeed despite their failure. 

Madness for Fitness

Recently i have been observing that my conversations either end or start with discussions about a healthy life style, maintaining a good physique. I am not sure if i am following the general trend or 

this is something inherent.

Its all load shedding around (cant take 'work' out of my mind), everyone wants to bring down weight and become fit, may be that has influenced to think about it. Unfortunately my interactions have been restricted to my colleagues. During these interactions we end up talking about reducing weight building muscles. I never ever in my life counted the calories before or after the meal, but now i am being careful. May be its just temporary, but i started jogging and exercising daily. I don't see slightest of difference in my appearance but certainly it feels good. I hope i can sustain this in future. 

Gulal - Add color to life

Indian political system, has been considered the reason for india continuing to be a developing country.

This movie provides some insights into the reasons for such a state. Very few educated join politics and those who join politics are guys worse than the uneducated.

Apart from the message, every actor in the movie just lived the character, none of them acted they were living the characters. I would like to believe its the director who bought this remarkable work out of the actors. I strongly feel that movies are getting bolder and practical by the day.

Who would expect movies to freely show abuses, infidelity. Music is another aspect of this movie which is remarkable change from the rest of the movies. Though there are shades of communist idealogies in most of the songs, they are quite refreshing from the existing lot. 

Do watch it to feel the magic, its different in every aspect.
