It's better to be on the wrong side of the evolutionary curve, whilst pertaining other side of the revolutionary one!

Very Very Sad

It was indeed a sad week for Indian cricket. One of its marquee player retired from international cricket. VVS aka Very Very Special Laxman was a real treat to watch.

            I felt a deep void when Dravid retired, but when I learned that VVS is also retired,

I felt really bad. These two gentlemen not only served for the country but gave an enormous amount of pleasure to the cricketing world. Test cricket, is the ultimate cricket. And boy, how they succeed in that format!

A roaring bowler, bending his back, and in return, shot offered is just a deft touch, played with loose hands; red cherry is hovering around the crease, pure pleasure.

I can write pages about Dravid and Laxman, but I am feeling really sad post their retirement. So winding up………

      I should leave the last words to Tendulkar : after his and Laxman’s 353 – run partnership in Sydney in 2004, where Tendulkar was the model of extreme self-restraint, he said: “ I had just decided to stay there …and watch from the other end”.

PS: There will be a lot of praise for VVS post his retirement, which he simply deserved every bit of it, but words often failed to summarize the whole story.

मन माझे आभाळ

मन माझे आभाळ ,
मन माझे आभाळ 
डोळ्यात तुझ्या शोधसे
डोळ्यात तुझ्या शोधसे
माझ्या श्वासाचे कवडसे
माझ्या श्वासाचे कवडसे
मन माझे आभाळ ,
मन माझे आभाळ ...

            The other day, a guy sitting behind me, asked to an IT guy (who was standing right in front of him) to raise some query on behalf of him.

IT guy: - Sir, you required to raise a ticket in IT helpdesk. In the subcategory-

Dreamy affair

Last few weeks I was hearing a lot about from my colleagues, dreams they are having,

I was wondering whether I remembered the dreams so starkly as others do.

One of my friend had a dream- in his own words

Last night I dreamed that our very own pune university was invaded by Maoists. ( hmmm quite daring!!!)  and guess, I literally beaten them all, in spite of all of them are having AK’s and Insas. I just beaten them with just a long stick and they all were left university bruised and sore eyes.

( the reason he gave for such out of box dream was, of course he was all pissed by dept. and did lot of study and read an article on Maoists in  Bengal and one thing led to another and my dear friend become messiah by beating Maoists and saving us)

Now I am a lot busy doing an internship, the project on Valuation. My project partner and I was totally engrossed in project. All but I was thinking about project. ( k, enough of bragging about myself). So important thing was, of course the dream she had. … In my words( he he i don’t remember the whole ishtory)

She was in university, strange everybody seems to be quite fond of campus. We were all there(omnipotent, right?) suddenly it started raining. And guess what she saw, whole actuarial dept of the company having shelter in the Shivaji park. Quite shocked she was!!! ( me too J )

Now my turn,  of course in my words

I was running here and there in E-square with Pravin ( OGF aka old good friend) was desperate to catch last night  show , I was on the stairs and telling him that please we will watch The tourist, Johny depp starrer, but he was adamant on Tees maar khan. Even in my dream I was so stricken by hearing his plans that I started running away from him and he was after me.. Then I woke up.( Thank god!!!)

PS:- Tees maar khan is one of the worst bolly movies I had seen. Total torture.
