The Latest IPL TAMASHA!!!

Well... well... well... IPL in its first week and already we have a bagful of controversies/gossips around the greatest show of BCCI!!

The latest in the lot is the following blog

http://fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com/

Well this is one of the Citi moment of success by the blogger as this blog becomes hugely popular!!

Apparently this is written by some fringe player based on Kolkata in the KKR team (They have a team of 43 players!!!) and giving all the inside stories about team strategy, player politics, commentators looking for bedding around with South African chicks etc.

The alternate view is that this is another marketing strategy by the KKR team management and SRK himself to keep KKR in news all the time!!

The writer has very good hold in English (One of the key reason to believe that this is not coming out from a local player!)... The humor is good, although sometimes it crosses the thin line of vulgarity!! But still a time pass read!!

The nicknames of the players given by him are all DLF maximum sixers!! Like,

Kaan Moolo: Agarkar
Prince Charles of Patiyala: Yuvraj
Mr. Batliwala: Vijay Malya
Lord Almighty: Sourav

I don't think this is done by any player neither I think this is a marketing strategy by SRK!! I mean com'n SRK is crazy enough to call himself bi sexual in his own blog or abuse the coach whom he is supporting!!

For me this is a very clever journalist in SAF making fun of the players!!

What do u guys think is up to you. Please do read the blog and let me know what's your take on this!!

That's it till now!!

Childhood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P68WBjaqSbI

When I was 3-4 years old, at that time Earth was a much more simple place!! No computer, no cable channel, No shopping malls, No US Crdit card... I used to live my small tiny life with my Nonte-Fonte, Bnatul and Hnada Bhnoda... Heman, Spiderman and Ramayan in TV and my set of toys (white plastic animals which my dad used to brought from Dharmatala)!!

This video used to come in TV at that time and I was a big fan of this one. From very young age I was fascinated by sportsperson and I remember how my dad pointed out kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and PK Banerjee in that video. Later this video was replaced by 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' and 'Baje Sargam'.

I was looking for this video since the day I knew old Duradarshan videos and ads can be found in Youtube (I love that site) and finally find it in the Orkut video list of one of the sweetest and most caring women I have met in my life, Kekadi!! Thanks Keksie!! I owe you a treat!!

P.S. I can identify Shreekanth, PK banerjee, Chuni Goswami, PT Usha, Ramesh Krishnan, Mansur Ali Khan pataudi, Kapil dev, Milkha Singh, Jarnal Singh, Sunny G, Prasanna, Venkatraghaban and Prakash Padukone... if anyone can identify someone else that would be appreceated!!

New Begining

Well, it's already March and I am attempting my first post of the year in this blog!!
Last two months were very busy!! Lots of work came in the office in the new year. Hope it will stabilize now. Also had more work in home than usual as my parents were out. Was forced to sleep early (1-1:30 that is). Also most of the nights I was busy with that girl who is in Sydney now. Unfortunately, in most of those nights she was 2000+ Kms away from me!!
Then I had my Mumbai trip.
I am reading books and watching movies regularly now days!! Although I love that but that is taking out considerable time from my orkuting and blogging!!
Read a few good books in the mean time. Adarsha Hindu Hotel (Bibhutibhushan Classic), Adbhuture( Shirshendu at his best), the Zoya factor (Girlish but enjoyable), HP & the Order of the Phoenix (One of the all time bests)... currently reading Beyond The Blues by Akash Chopra and the third part of Tarapodo Roy Galposamagra!!
Movies, well watched a few, Dev D (path breaking film), he is not that into you ( Girlfriend in the next seat, good looking girls in the screen, who cares for anything else!), SDM (Nice one time watch, I would say it's an interesting movie), LuckByChance (Chalta hain) and Victory (New Zenith of poor acting by Harman Baweza, the best actor in the movie was Brett Lee!!!)
But now with this five and half hour of time differences I guess those 2 hours in the night after I return from office will be free and unless I get too addicted to FIFA 07 I will write regularly!!

Also IPL is coming too!!

P.S. New addiction, Facebook!! :P

2009

Happy New Year to all my Friends!! Hope 2009 will bring you guys a lot of luck and success in every aspect of life!! Hope you guys get everything what you wish for!!

2008 was a mixed year for me. Happy with my life and work (touch wood) but unhappy with a few things too!! Got extremely angry seeing terrorists attacking our pride, got extremely shocked seeing the global financial crisis, got extremely sad seeing Sourav go.

Got new friends, visited new places, drunk new cocktails, watched new movies, enjoyed the IPL!!

Looking forward to 2009!!! hope Earth will become a much better place to live. And I pray to God so that all of our dreams will come true this year!! have a rocking 2009!!!

Legends

Story One:

County game was going on in England. Time was mid 80's. One of the teams playing were Somerset. And at the pitch were their most charismatic batsman Viv Richards. The bowler was Greg Thomas. He bowled a superb out swinger and Viv was beaten comprehensively. Instead of thanking his good luck Thomas said," It's red, round and weighs about 5 1/2 ounces." A costly mistake!

The next ball went flying outside the ground as one of the biggest sixes of Viv's bat. Viv just walked couple of steps, stood in front of Thomas and said," Greg, you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it!"

Story Two:

Another county game. Another day, just this is in 21st century. Match was going on between Surrey and Leicestershire. Suddenly the Surrey bowler Azhar Mahmood started reversing the ball. Batsmen had no clue how to play it. They were playing and missing continuously and living on their luck. Then one of them said," There's no way we can play when he is bowling with this ball. We have to somehow change this ball! I have a plan!" The next over he hit the ball so hard that it went outside the ground and get lost. Umpires had no other option than change the ball. The bowlers lost all their advantage and batting become easy. Although for that batsman batting is generally the easiest job in the world. He is Virendra Sehwag!!

Well done Sir!! I have stopped feeling sad for not watching Viv!! I have seen Viru!!

Why So Serious ?

Yesterday morning I woke up early, had an early lunch and rush towards a local multiplex. the reason, The Dark Knight or TDK was going to play at a 10:30 show, and during the movie I was feeling like a transition happening within me and once I finished watching the movie at 1 o' clock in the afternoon I was not in this world, I was in some other world where there is only a man with white painted face, black circles round his eyes and red scars in two sides of his lip to give him a permanent smile.

But it's not the appearance only. His continuous lip licking, his intense look, his hissing voice, his pencil disappearing trick, when he tells about his father asking him,"Why So Serious?" all these moments!!! And I have no words to describe them. His sudden mock clapping in the jail, His holding a old man by his neck and,"you are just like my father" then a pause and in a more hissing voice "I hate my father!" Ohh my god!!

the entire yesterday I was thinking about him and I am thinking it now and I don't know how long it will continue. Anything which can go even little bit closer to this experience is when I saw Sourav scoring a century in Eden with me being in the crowd, but that was a moment of pride and joy but this is a moment where I am feeling like I am being mesmerized by a magician and I do not want to get out of this spell cast by the Joker!
