Time to Bleed Blue

Isn't it surreal that 20 days back the same Indian team which was not getting anything right. Even maggi players like Shahid Afridi could play well against this very Indian team is now ready to add one more trophy to its trophy cabinet. They seem to be in the acme,so much so that each team playing against them is caught in a trance-like state.

 In my previous blogs on India's so called Dream run, I focused on how India dealt with each opposition and what they gained from each outing in the group stages. It was more of a familiar Indian team playing yesterday, the Team we know and have seen in recent outings, However I still find it Cullinan being caricatured by the Indian team. Every single Match point he expects India to falter and in turn finds himself comprehensively beaten by Martin Crowe. I must say its been a heard time for Cullinan's fantasy team as well :D.

Yesterday Indian team played just the way we all see them play in the past year or so.. Bowlers hit all over the park, 173 as target you ll usually bank on the team batting first to win in a pressure game like Semi Final and in a tournament which has been a nightmare for teams Batting second. Amidst all the odds we forgot 2 things 1) It is India chasing and 2) They have VIRAT KOHLI.  Man he is alchemist of chases, Isn't he? I mean literally who would imagine India scoring 173 with 5 balls remaining when in the group stages they werent able to score 130 before 19th over. The admiring part of his innings was the calculations he did.. With only 5 fours and 2 sixes he was totally dependent on singles and twos, Boundaries were hit only when it was very much needed. One more thing was that he played only 3 dots of his 44 deliveries and among the 41 deliveries 34 deliveries were singles and twos. Huh!! More you go into it more you admire the genius. What more? In all the matches India has chased this tournament Kohli has been not out on 3 occasions out of the 4 and the one he was out on India were comfortably placed by him. 

Consistency,Class, Style and Tactician Kohli has made sure that SA will have to wait for some more years before they can get a World title. Its time now that he buckles up to face his favorite rival Srilanka On Sunday evening. Its time for all of us to bleed blue and support this young man and also the team for it has been a complete professional performance by them. #BleedBlue #JaiHind

Purani Jeans ( Friends Forever ) :)

Sometimes its just  all about Friendship <3  

People always post about Movies with classy brand names and popular super stars including me :p , why are the films which have no brand name as such nor a popular protagonist in it not able to make it to the Box office , why are sweet stories no more appreciated ? :( 

Purani jeans , a movie with a simple story and a sweet message " Friend forever " . It might not have the best actors or the best stories but it has a message that makes its mark more than any film can make. Sometimes even a 7D effect movie fails to make its affect over the heart which such movie does.

Watch the trailer and know more :D 

They are many such movies which i insist you guys to watch , the names might have not hit the main screen so lavishly but am sure they are bound to touch your heart .

1. Isi Life Mein

2. Mera Pehle Pehla Pyaar

3. Yaariyan 

Its always  overwhelming to see our Bollywood industry to keep its doors open for the new faces !

 Cheers to Bollywood :)  

MH370, 9/11 , Titanic .. ????

Link between these attacks ??? :o

 

What ? how .. no way . it does'nt make any sense . is the words which generally might emerge from someone's mouth seeing the above title :o but probably this might be true . According to our numerologist these catastrophic disasters are linked in some way or other, how far this news is true is still doubtful !!

I always was waiting to write about MH370 , i din't just with a hope of listening to some good news unfortunately it turned out to be the worst news, it is very disappointing to hear that 239 souls took their last breath together in this airway :( May their souls rest in peace . I hope the search ends soon and we really get to know the reason behind such an attack . 

Recent Findings :

A Hyderabad-based numerologist have uncovered a link between the missing airliner and one of the world’s biggest maritime disasters ever the sinking of the Titanic. The formula even connects another tragedy, the 9/11 terror strikes in New York.Ganesh Kivlekar claims he used two “secret” methods of numerology, “used by experts worldwide” to determine that both disasters had one thing in common the number pairing of 4 and 1.

The following is how Mr Ganesh has arrived at the formula by assigning a number to each character in Malaysian airliner’s call sign (MH370) and to the ship’s name Titanic.“This is a big coincidence and it needs to be researched. All the three disasters have the combination of 1 and 4. Astrologically, 1 belongs to the Sun and 4 to the Rahu. A combination of Sun and Rahu is considered inauspicious,” said Mr Ganesh.

The Titanic sank in the North Atlantic on April 13, 1912, with 1,500 dead. Meanwhile, the WTC attacks on September 11, 2001, claimed nearly 3,000 lives.

Dirty politics !!

We always thought that ' Things are so bad but they can't get worse ' theory to be true but unfortunately things are worsening especially when it comes to our INDIA.In a mere fortnight election scenario has taken a dirtier place for which each and every member belonging to every single political party is responsible.

I am writing this blog not with a view of insulting anyone, nor for spreading hatred in the hearts of common man. Everyone are very well aware of the political scenario and the latest buzz these days , i need not tell , lets the news channels do the job. I just wanna spread one message , highlight one motive , one objective , that is elect someone who you really think has that ability and skill to take the responsibility of our nation , Appreciate the right talent .
Its the election time , one opportunity towards a new era , Vote for Change .

Few instances of dirty politics to give you a succint of what is happening in and around us  :

1. Congress president tells he would :hack to pieces " BJP 's PM Modi  , this is how our politicians speak :D
2. Sharad Power tells his people to vote twice after erasing the ink on their fingers , what a shame :@
3. Congress made five ordinances to eradicate corruption but it itself is giving party tickets to corruptibles like Ashok Chavan ( he is involved in Adarsh housing scam,Mumbai) , How disgraceful :|
4. Sabar Ali , famous for changing his political partys like anything , let me not brief into this heinous act of his and the partys.
5. Modi and akhilesh Yadav on catfight over lions :/

This  16th century elections are totally polluted ,What is the use of spending so much ?
1. 7-8K cr by government authorities
2. 6-7K cr by media on campaigning
3. 400 rs per voter

I hope you elect the right candidate , Jai Hind ! .

Eighth color of rainbow :O

Do you know that rainbow is no more a symbol of seven colors ? Scientists have found a hidden eighth color to the rainbow . This amazing discovery in the spectrum of light is done by physicists at Randall Monroe University in West Virginia who were investigating the properties of ‘slow light’; packets of photons that are fired through a cloud of ultracold sodium atoms, colliding with the light and slowing it to roughly 17mph.

Experts say the colour, which has yet to be named, can be thought of as the first addition to the traditional spectrum since Isaac Newton first successfully split white light using a triangular prism in 1671.

Too much of scientific knowledge right :p But you just can't ignore the science behind the invention . Anyway this new color is going to have the shade which contrasts in between blue and green ie. similar to 'grue' and 'bleen' ( linguistic term to tell the difficulty some languages have in differentiating blue and green ).

Few words : "If we haven’t seen this color before, how will other people see things we paint it with?" said Dr Padyolis.

Who are gonna reap the maximum benefits from this new discovery , the fashion industry obviously , the new shade can turn many eyes on the people are gonna experience a new trend again .. lets wait for its name and a official announcement .

India on a Dream Run

3 Back to Back series loss.. One on the soil where the world t20 is being played. Question marks on Indian bowling and if Raina and Yuvraj come good.. Well, Like the Champions trophy Indians seems to find it all go there way. By the end of there group stage matches India more or less have got answers for all there answers. The hullabaloo surrounding around Indian bowling has disappeared somewhere, So are the doubts on Yuvraj Singh. Lets take a look on what India has achieved so far. And what threats are still waiting on the door for the One Day Champs.

Ind vs Pak
The Match was against the arch rivals Pak. That to first match of tourney where you have less idea about the conditions and Your playing 11.. India found a new hero in Amit Mishra who made us relive the wonderful feeling of seeing the batsman get beat with his leg spinners and googlies.

Ind Vs WI
It was between T20 Champions vs ODI Champions. And guess what!! Even though gayle was dropped twice, WI scoring 51 runs in the final 5 overs, they could manage only 130 runs. However highlight of the match was again Amit Mishra. Proving that, performance against PAK was no fluke. Another bright spot was Bhuvi who gave 3-0-3-0 opening spell bamboozling world's most dangerous opening pair.

Ind Vs Ban
Expected to win against a totally shattered host team, they had no problems what so ever. However net run rate was what they could not manage better but because AUS lost to WI, India had no reason to worry about it.

Aus Vs Ind
"India are dew for a tough match" this is what Cullinan  said before every group match. Score card might say that India didn't get this one tough but it was challenging, For starters Dhoni lost toss, India batted against the heart broken Aussies. Kohli failed as did Rohit. Yuvi finally pulled them off and then all the bowlers specially Ashwin was unplayable. Folding the mighty Aussies who are termed as Indian bowling hunters as they showed in past 2 world cups for just 86.

India looks to have settled most of their cards but opening pair is still a concern, Surely Dhawan will be brought back but what if he fails again? Mohit Sharma bowled really well in the last match but will Shami get a look again? He being the main strike bowler or What if dew comes in?  Apart from these issues India will have to be vary of SA attack and this is the team which wants to get the chokers tag away from themselves. With WI and SL fighting it out in first semi its gonna be tougher for the Indian team if they proceed to finals. LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST.. :) Have a nice day

Hilarious spoof of 300 , enjoy :D   

India Take on West Indies

If you put the names of players from both these squads in a hat, pulled them out into four random teams, added a few Indian domestic players, placed a few Bollywood stars and many hangers-on on the sidelines, and changed rules on the fly, you would have yourself an IPL. India and West Indies have played each other only thrice in international Twenty20s, but the players of these two teams are more familiar with each other's Twenty20 skills than any other set of two teams.
West Indies cricketers are the life of the IPL. Nine of their first XI play in the tournament, and this is a side missing Kieron Pollard. All of the Indians do too. They either net with each other or play against each other day in and day out for two months every year. If Virat kohli can share Chris Gayle's weaknesses with the India team, Dwayne Bravo will surely know how to bowl to MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. Indian batsmen are the most exposed to Sunil Narine, West Indies know Amit Mishra better than any other batsmen in the world.
   Conditions, too, suit both these teams. The spinners love the slowness, the batsmen the short boundaries. Some of the familiarity has flown in how Suresh Raina thinks West Indies batsmen struggle to rotate the strike against spin. West Indies might have a thing or two to say about Raina's general ordinary average against West Indies. What you can't argue about is the fact that this is a match between the ODI champions and the T20I champions with huge implications, which you expect of every league match when two out of five progress. The teams will have to keep an eye towards the skies though; it rained in Dhaka on Saturday and more wet spells are forecast for Sunday afternoon.

Team news
 India have said that three spinners hasn't yet become the winning combination that shouldn't be tinkered with, but Amit Mishra is a good bet to play.
India: (possible) 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Amit Mishra, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Mohammed Shami

Andre Russell should take Pollard's place in the XI as he did in the T20s against England unless West Indies want another specialist pace bowler in Krishmar Santokie.

West Indies: (possible) 1 Dwayne Smith, 2 Chris Gayle, 3 Marlon Samuels, 4 Lendl Simmons, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 7 Darren Sammy (capt.), 8 Andre Russell/ Krishmar Santokie, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Ravi Rampaul, 11 Samuel Badree

Nat "King" Cole was Born

On this day 17th March 1919, preeminent jazz pianist and musical personality "King" Cole was born. Known for his soft baritone, Cole was one of the first black Americans to host a variety show.

 Inspired by the performances of Earl Hines, Cole began his performing career in the mid-1930s while still a teenager, adopting the name "Nat Cole". His older brother, Eddie, a bass player, soon joined Cole's band, and they made their first recording in 1936 under Eddie's name. They also were regular performers at clubs. Cole, in fact, acquired his nickname, "King", performing at one jazz club, a nickname presumably reinforced by the otherwise unrelated nursery rhyme about Old King Cole. He also was a pianist in a national tour of Broadway theatre legend Eubie Blake's revue, "Shuffle Along". When it suddenly failed in Long Beach, California, Cole decided to remain there. He would later return to Chicago in triumph to play such venues as the famed Edgewater Beach Hotel.

Nathaniel Adams Coles was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 17, 1919.Cole had three brothers: Eddie, Ike, and Freddy, and a half-sister, Joyce Coles. Ike and Freddy would later pursue careers in music as well. When Cole was four years old,he and his family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where his father, Edward Coles, became a Baptist minister. Cole learned to play the organ from his mother, Perlina Coles, the church organist. His first performance was of "Yes! We Have No Bananas" at age four. He began formal lessons at 12, eventually learning not only jazz and gospel music, but also Western classical music, performing, as he said, "from Johann Sebastian Bach to Sergei Rachmaninoff".

The family lived in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. Cole would sneak out of the house and hang around outside the clubs, listening to artists such as Louis Armstrong, Earl Hines, and Jimmie Noone. He participated in Walter Dyett's renowned music program at DuSable High School. 

Happy Holi... :)
