The blog saga

Once in a while i happen to go on a Sant Gadgebaba mission.

And I seriously start cleaning my surroundings.

As it always happens, I was struck by a 'clean surroundings' fever today.. and as always, I found something to ponder upon.

I happened to come across my log book. I opened it and started turning its pages over and over to and fro.

I remember the date. ti was 3rd Nov, 2001/2 i don't remember...

That day I woke up with a stomach upset. had a bad time in the morning. went to the club and informed everyone that I was ill hence they should not consider me in the playing XI

It was a big match for us and hence it was essential that we play the best team.

As an athlete, you look forward to such situations. Where you are not fully fit yet you have to give your best on the ground.

Playing for 50 ovs, that too wicket keeping with an upset stomach can be treacherous.

I wanted to memorize each and every moment of that day... and thus the blogging started.

The fun about writing in the book was that I used to switch off all the lights, light a candle and write with an ink pen. more often then not the radio used to tune in to VIVIDHA BHARATI

Then, it was different. I was nostalgic.

When I read the book, I don't just remember about what i wrote... i also recall how I wrote it.

Well with all these memories... I cant resist myself now.
I am going back to the nostalgic way of blogging

One thing which does not happen in my book is that I cant get your comments..

So now you know what you have to do. right !!!!!

Reliving the moments

As India inch closer to victory at Perth, I cannot stop recalling that day when I say Indian team win in Australia for the 1st time.

That day I woke up at arround 3 in the morning and waited all the while for the match to start.

Then as usual Sehwag set himself after the Aussie attack ( which was much better than the current one)

I had my univ exams. At lunch I switched off the TV and got back to my studies.

I kept the track of the score on the net though.

As soon as I felt that the victory was a few shots away.. I rushed downstairs, switched on the TV and had my eyes stuck to it.

Dravid's square cut to McGill then a roar and a punch in the air - this moment will remain in my RAM for a long time.

Now that India is about to win its 1st Test at Perth, I am again having the same itchy feeling.

Sitting here in office on my PC, my biggest job was to get this damn broadband connection going. This keeps me updated with the score. However, I cannot just keep checked in and hence keeping a track of it every now and then

4 year ago .. I was to appear for an exam. That day when everyone complained about the tough paper, I ended up getting a 1st class.

Whats in store today !!!

BYPASS THE ICC
The matters of racism have risen time and again but the ICC has never taken serious thought into it.ICC are the main culprits in racism.Almost all match referees are biased. the decision go in favor of the whites.I am surprised why Ranatunga is still silent. He is the one who walked off when murli was no balled. Jumbo could have done that too.Rashid Latif once grounded the ball and appeasled. He was banned my match referee Mike Procter. Why wasn't ricky poning given the same treatment.Its clear how the ICC workes.Now I have an idea.More than 70% of the ICC income comes from the subcontinent.Captains like Ranatunga, Inzamam and Ganguly have taken firm steps against the ICC in the pastIf the icc is taking us for granted then we must by pass the ICCWe can have our matches under Asian Cricket Council.We have the best teams in the world. India Pak and SL. Bangladesh is an emerging team. The best cricket lies in the subcontinent.we can develop other teams better than the ICC.We do not need the ICCWe can have the best of cricket. and wont need to suffer the bullish attitude of ICC.
