WORLD CUP PANDEMIC!!


It was just last year that we had seen an EPIDEMIC called FIFA World Cup… But 2011 is witnessing something very explicit… very extravagant… the frenzy that’s infecting all… ICC CWC 2011… being held in the Indian Sub-continent… And the last two matches played n WON by INDIA have added to the severity of this infection…
In India… CRICKET by far is the most superior religion ever seen on Earth… The players are treated as God and the God is the ultimate end stop for all the prayers related… The way people pray for the results to be good for anything is nothing compared to what everyone prays when it’s INDIA in the field… Right from the 7 year old to 70 years old, everyone is glued to the television sets when there’s a match played… Everyone’s more concerned about the wickets then their health … Sleep, Hunger… nothing…n literally nothing can come in way between cricket…
And in the last two matches… The Atmosphere… The Pressure… nerve wrecking…
1st match… INDIA vs AUSTRALIA… everyone just remembered the 2003 WC when they were the only team who defeated us in the whole series… and so the match became important … defeating them was the penultimate goal… to take revenge of the loss we suffered… the roads looked all deserted… the works all on a stand-still… n those who couldn’t watch it were cursing their bosses like anything… With every four or six we hit it was a party moment… every wicket we lost, it felt as though a loved one was lost… the pressure was so palpable off the field that I cannot even think about the pressure the players must be feeling… The match was a close tie till the end… and it was YUVRAJ who got the Glory with RAINA home… it was just an amazing experience…
2nd Encounter… even the WC final doesn’t hold much significance when it is INDIA vs PAKISTAN… it’s not just cricket but the paramount clash… clash of the neighbours… that feeling is different… that match is different… it’s not just in INDIA or PAK… but all over the World this battle is the most looked up to… people left their work all before the match… the roads today seemed as it is a curfew declared in the whole nation… All… and actually all were cemented to TVs… the sick, the busy, the non-interested… literally all… I had never seen the TV room so tucked up with people that there was no place for people left after sometime… With every ball there was a roar… could be a happy one, could be an angry one… every wicket we lost meant a massive silence… when Sachin’s wicket was taken up … it was an emotional moment… Cries and sadness… The GOD was taken up n that too by Afridi… added to the grievances… it was not a big total at the end… but the hopes never lost… coz the players knew it that the Whole NATION is there praying just for this win… and the prayers were answered by the Bowling line up… Wonderful stuff… great line and length by the sorcerers … with such an electrifying match, how can we actually leave the screen and go anywhere… INDIA WON!!!
The World seemed to stop there… it was an emotion filled moment… we could do nothing but scream on top of voices… roam around on roads just to celebrate this triumph… happiness was so evident that it seemed as though the curfew in the noon was lifted up to just let all the country men to be on the roads and feel the PRIDE for the MOTHER NATION…
It’s just a step more to proclaim the CUP for us… coz this year, it’s the gut feel that the ICC CWC 2011 is suppose to be OURS… INDIA will rock and that we know… every single soul in here is praying and hoping that Dhoni  & Co. do it for us and moreover for the GOD… Let’s gift this WORLD CUP to the wizard of Cricket, SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR… We want 1983 to be repeated this time… We want Wankhede Stadium to go ablaze with the victorious cries by Indians… We want the whole World to witness the spectacular show of INDIA winning… We want the TIGERS to win on the LIONS, the Lankans…
C’MON INDIA… GO FOR IT!!! 2nd April 2011 should become HISTORY!!

To the Dreams, To the Eternity, To the HIMALAYAS!!

The World is full of adventure and fun. Every new turn we take get ahead as a new challenge. And yes I was talking about life; though even the rikshawallas may come up that way. As the famous saying goes, “Life’s once, enjoy while you can” . So make sure we have our own share of adventure. The message beeped “ What is your crazy dream?” Giving thought for a while, I responded “To go out unperturbed, no bothering, no works and no thoughts on the roads to the Himalayas” “That wasn’t crazy till you mentioned the Himalayas. If you remember you stay in the centre of India and without being disturbed how can like go off for a long long time.” “Wish I could just go.” “In your dreams…” “Yeah! In my dreams…” was the last I could write at 2 am. The next morning, the alarm kept ticking and my eyes felt heavy to be opened. But then there is life, there’s work. I got into the showers and then into the closet and then out in the cab, rushing away to the hospital. Today ...

Smittened by LOVE!! :)

Usually surrounded by individuals of all kinds… There is this one kind in them that’s special… As they say ‘Someone, somewhere is made for you.’… That special category… I don’t know how many of us have experienced it; The LOVE, is indeed a special feeling… Unknowingly, unseeingly he came into life… equations matched and things sparkled… At the start it was nothing but friendship … Day by day facts remolded… Shorts “hellos” turned into Long talks… every bit of communication enclosed a meaning… simple meanings swiveled to become essence for life… Staying away from the chats became difficult… Meeting him became ‘most important’ in the to-do list… May be that’s just coz I connect to him… or may be that’s because I  like him… but the most beautiful may be is coz I am driven towards him for the special fondness I have for him… I currently stay in this dwindled phase of life where I am unable to reply any ‘WH’ question related… All I know is that there is some force which is impelling ...

Love Thy Parents!!!

Plagiarized from a friend’s status on Facebook…”Certain things are best when choreographed naturally”…so true n so genuine…and the best example for this…relation with parents… The day I was born, by default I got my parents…there was no option kept by the Almighty…as in choose between the people…but I guess He knows better who can be comfortable n taken care of by whom…and so this beautiful alliance is a gift to us at birth I guess… MOM n DAD…two best humans on this earth…most lovable n most adorable…every kid has a special place in their heart for these Angels of Solace…and I am no exception to this Golden Rule… They are the inspiration…the way they manage the home and the workplace both together and in sync is something to be looked upon at… They are the motivators…it’s for their sheer support n love that both of us…me n my Bro have been able to be on the road to our dreams… They are the instillers…putting up all good values into us…they have made us able to rise up in lif...
