Pitch It !!!

Those who have seen the last test between Aus and Ind , must have been relived those yesteryears memories of Indian spinners spinning web around batsmen. All the 20 wickets were taken by spinners only. In fact in the second inning Sharma bowled only 3 overs to 0 for Bhuvi.

            Lot of furore created by media in the last England series, where Dhoni insisted on Home Advantage to make spin friendly wickets. The move which backfired tremendously. India had to endure some heavy , morale drowning defeats.

            Along came Aussie, First test Chennai , Ball turning square from day 1 .

Key : Selective Watering.

You have to keep patch between line of stump firm and which will hold till 5’th day. So watered down this area. Where as keep outside off and legside area dry. Let the soil become loose with bowlers footmarks. Which will assist spinners as the day progress.

Hats off to Curator.

PS : When shane warne visited Chennai , and tormented by Sachin, he asked Curator, Whats wrong with my bowling? Curator said,” May be dodgy shoulder keeping you away from your best”. He later had operation on his shoulder. But the real trick was keep outside the leg stump area firm. Watered down, keep some grass. Genius….

If only

You will never meet the same person again.

Big events, small incidents knowingly or unknowingly contribute to building our own character. Whenever somebody says that, “You have changed a lot, you were not like this!” (In what sense, the concerned person knows the best!) Then we get realized that, yes! I guess, I changed a little bit.

I always open to any such events which enhance myself, rather everything around teaches us something, the only thing is that we have to see it with different spectacle. One thing I learned that about myself that, I am so much fancy about living on the edge. I likes when the situation let my adrenaline pumping. Be it exam time, any sport event, writing something innovative, watching lots of movies( till computer itself felt guilty), reading something( and forgetting everything) , going crazy about somebody( in spite of knowing the ultimate end). Although I likes sleeping long hours, sitting idle.

I realized after some time you get bored of the things which at some point you think, I can’t live without this! Time passes, you get addicted to something different. In my earlier stay at Pune, I was crazy about CS, so much that nobody can believe, how addicted I was! After some time the attraction receded gradually. Then came back at pune again. Again get hooked for some time. I again smiled at myself. Now seems to be come to ground reality. 

 

Meanwhile, introduced to Blogging and then poetry. Again fell in love with this, so much that at times, I got afraid of myself. Poetry is a kind of sweet addiction which soothes burning heart. I wrote every kind of poem mostly in Marathi, surprisingly some in English and more surprisingly in Hindi. Last summer I thought about a lot about this blogging and poetry, on the verge of leaving all this. I took a break, very confused. I tried to discuss, but later learned that, none can reach depth of anybody problem expect that person. So I thought a lot, and decided I shouldn’t deprive myself from this divine joy.

Someone said that, we get a single life; we should try each and everything. I totally disagree with this kind of philosophy. Life is such an unpredictable phenomenon that let alone rationalizing it; we cannot go near understanding it. I love surprises, also surprising others also. One thing I learned is that, you can’t blame anyone for your own downfall. You cannot claim sole propriety of your success.

Looking back at those memories,

I felt gasped!

I wonder how beautiful days they were.

Though at that time never realize,

The beauty of living the moment.

Time passes,

With little introspection we console ourselves,

I had a good time out there!

Why this lie?

Why such aloofness?

still, why there is guilt?

Are we destiny’s puppet?

Certainly not!!!

I wanna stride out, then do it!

I wanna break the rule, set free!

I wanna ruin myself, get ruined!

I wanna write a lot, express it!

I wanna hurt myself, do it badly!

I wanna study a lot, make it happen!

I wanna screamed like hell, tear it!

  PS: This post contains so much I, me , myself stuff , which i really don't like at first place but still cant resist the temptation.

संवाद

As I was going through newspapers, one news caught my attention. Afjal guru , accomplice who attacked Indian parliament demanded that, he would rather be hanged than kept in solitary confinement cell.

Well I am not going to comment here any political statement out here. Rather I would like to draw attention to one of the important aspect. What are the basic needs of human being?

- Food

- Water

- Shelter

- Conversation.

Yes, that’s true. Every individual expects that there should be somebody who understands him/herself. This basic need (conversation) paved way to evolution of many languages. Etymologists suggest that words are the main ingredient of evolution.

It is only when we talked with somebody then and then we came to know about our self more and more, how we behave in different situations; this cannot achieved by only simulation but conversation.

When we said true reading of a book starts: It is only when we shared the matter with somebody. Nothing excites any author than when his/her becomes talking point of masses. This joy is unmatchable.

PS: Words are mightier than swords.

(While writing this topic I get a feeling that I can explain my point more precisely in Marathi, but since it is very tedious to type in Marathi and I am aware of the fact that how lazy I am, I continue with English.)

Sometimes....

I always found people very simple and straightforward. At times some people may behave erratic but somehow I had sympathy for them because it may be the reaction, what they had faced in the past and till now they don’t found the right medium to express themselves.


Some people are always loaded with very false pre-assumptions about themselves and the very fact that they are really happy to remain in that scenario. They always think that, I had covered all the other things and I am always on the safer side but let me tell u friend, people around you are not that much foolish to identify this thing. It’s just a matter of time to unveil the face behind an opaque mask.

Various people had very strange likings or habits. I am not SME (subject matter expert) but

Some of them are:-

1. Don’t appreciate anybody if he or she does marvelous job. My friend it is just few words that make the person happy and if we are not in a position to say some niceties but at least don’t say the words that sent the moral down.

2. Frame stories about friends and trying to picturise them as a bad guy. I had seen some guys do this and this is the cheapest thing I can imagine.

3. Trying hard to make rift between people by applying each and every trick in the bag they had. Sometimes they got success and sometimes no such drama, what they had anticipated. That sent them into some introspections but not that they learn few things from this but they came up with new trick to trick people. They are such a good actors that it is always hard to find who is on the wrong side, for the people who were listening those stories; so no fault on their side.

4. Always moderate things such as every time they came up with good individual. For being good individual you don’t have to do something, it is just you have be yourself rather than trying to sound someone else. I always find amusing, why it is always hard for some people to do selfless deed.

5. To be a good leader u has to identify the hidden talents amongst your team-mates and you have to blossom it. Not that fearing that he would take all the limelight. This may results in bad relationships. What is now we can see the state of Pakistan Cricket team: everybody trying to pull each other’s legs, and end result is obvious.



PS:

The line is straight because it has no corners.

Live free die hard

For the last 5-6 days I cannot stop thinking myself about the burning topic the state is facing now..The recent suicides by students really shook government as well as so called society from its ground. The CM also called meeting to discuss the issue.

As I was reading the article in the newspaper about these suicides (there was almost 20 suicides in last week happened) about the students who committed the suicides the writer was very particular about the reason behind the suicides.

I. The fear of failure in the exam..

II. Extra expectations laden by the parents..

III. Sense of insecurity among students..

IV. Innermost feeling that nobody understands d problem they are facing…

Well one thing was common in all the cases was there was lack of communication between the students and parents..As I was thinking that only students who were not good at study do such things, but I was shocked to hear that a scholar girl from Mumbai committed suicide because her parents won’t allow her to practice dance(which she was good at) and forced her to study. Of course she took a very drastic step. (I am fully against of that.).The parents now regretting their act. Well the matter of fact that every person wants his child must succeed in the rat race, there is nothing wrong in that, but sometimes it is not possible for everyone to do so..

There will be some stormy discussion happen on this topic, some reformist might suggest some solution, but nobody can guarantee that when it will stop..

We all agree that it is not possible to stay calm n composed in d troubled situations all the times, but I think it is the godsend opportunity to strengthen our mindset!!!

Some mind boosters:-

1. Be urself.

2. Have immense faith in your abilities.

3. Have at least one hobby, be it reading, games,music. This will help you to unplugged.

“Education teaches you how survive, a hobby teaches you how to live!”.

4. Talk to your parents, friends or teachers or anybody whom you are comfortable, whenever you feel low. There is nothing wrong to discuss your weak point. “Pobody is Nerfect”.

All I hope it will end soon, because it sucks a lot when you read those news…
