The underdogs seem to be swinging well....Good Luck

I am right now in mixed emotions...and I'm liking that.My friend turned foe...haha...the Kolkata Knight Riders are doing pathetically.Amazing fielding-apt bowling by Deccan Chargers helped them haul KKR's top batting order.Seeing McCullum leaving at 1 was a treat though I'd have had loved him getting out at duck.Watching Ganguly struggling was disappointing since I am a great fan of his but to see SRK and Buchuanan in miserable moods is a delicacy and an eye soothener for sure.

I know I'm acting like an overzealous pervert but I hardly have qualms.Lemme get back to seeing some interesting knockouts by DC before the first innings get finally over...Good luck Deccan Chargers...Am all to support the underdogs this time...:)

It ain't over till it's over

The last season’s second lowest ranker team Royal Challengers Bangalore set up a great show yesterday putting to halt the 'speculations' of the world in favour of Rajasthan Royals victory.Even I was convinced about the RR win after watching the slow first innings[I missed a great deal of Dravid’s batting, may be I’d not have had presumed things otherwise!!!].The uncertainty and unpredictability in sports,specially in Cricket(since it’s watched by most of us in maximum proportions!) is worth learning a life’s lesson from.

In life,lately I have been realizing[I know I’m rather slow at extracting the nuisances of life;)!!]that the story doesn’t end till it’s read all over completely.The beauty of life lies in the fact that it can turn dices,move knights in whosever’s favour even at the zth sec of the critical hour.It ain’t over till it’s over.We just can’t dwell over any conscience,any assumption,any opportunity,any foretelling at any point of time till we have finally got the results.Whatever we call it-destiny or luck,be it the desired way or the despondent way,the game is not over until we have sprinted in the last second,witnessed that and recorded that.Till that time the labour is all ours and in the end,decision is all his….;))

IPL-a sigh of relief!!!

With Mumbai Indians already having won the first game of this season of the much awaited Indian Premier League and the last year champs Rajasthan Royals seemingly playing prosperously enough to appearing triumphant{unless the Royal Challengers Bangalore fight back stupendously},the euphoria associated keeps getting my eyes pitched up but there is a little hitch whenever I try doing a little time pass scanning news channels amid the advertisement breaks, for all you have on these numerous channels are the flashing headlines of the dirty dissension of our honorable politicians over each others’ acts.

As a child,I would many a times be amused with the idea of how administration works and sometimes, I’d even think of reforming the whole nation if bestowed with some similar powers.No offences since as children,we rather dream much high naively not realising how creepy the world is.The constant rattle of the people involved in politics have made this science supposedly nothing more than ‘Scatology’.

The idea or the mere coincidence of the two big events occurring together is a welcome relief to the sourly mind of people like me atleast, who are rather tired with the continuous strife of these multipartite sick minded creatures.

Kudos to the IPL administration for not canceling or postponing this event :)

No KKR for me without Ganguly's captaincy

Cricket has always been my love….I affirm that I can’t play it well,may be not even appreciate the strokes and cuts properly…but since Sourav Ganguly took over the reins of Indian Cricket team in 2002,I almost followed every match of India closely.I give full credit to this maestro to actually getting the “Team India” together…and most probably,except for a handful of silly Australians,no-one would refute this supreme assertion.Thanks to his aggressive and no nonsense game approach,India could create some history chapters worth turning over again and again.

Taking off captaincy of Kolkata Knight Riders from him and giving it to Brendon McCullum has come up as a blow to my sentiments…and I really do dislike Shahrukh Khan and hate John Buchanan for that.It’s hard to assimilate the interim politics these people are playing,almost keeping Ganguly unaware of this dirty play.

Hope the Riders lose all the matches this season and I shift my allegiance to Daredevils.
