THE INDIAN VICTORY CRUISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Johannesburg - India has beaten Pakistan by five runs in the Twenty20 final at the Wanderers on Monday.


The most awaiting T20 World cup has finally come to an end with India scalping the priceless cup.Its definitely an awesome feeling to raise the World cup in front of a sell-out crowd of 32,000 waving Indian and pakistani flags.
Initially when India won the toss and elected to bat first,I felt it would be a one sided game,as the field looked to serve as a welcome source for boundaries and sixes(Not the biggest field).But as the match started things were not going the right way,the bowling line up of Pakistan was really good,and the timing by our heroes were
not in favor of a great score.No one could really smash the ball to give a firing start.Wickets kept falling at regular intervals,but the runrate was always above 7(expected it to be above 8 throughout,expectations raised due to amazing game against Aussies).We then settled for a meagre score of 157/5 with Umar Gul doing the major damage.

The whole Indian team then started grinding their brains as to how the bowling line up should be,the field set up etc.......
The 2nd innings was a real throat to throat innings.We started off with RP Singh dismissing the opener cheaply.Hmmmmmmm but they managed to come back by smashing Sreesanth and Bajji to death,it was a real run treat for Pakistan when these two were handed the ball.The game changed all over when Pathan kept taking important wickets at regular intervals to balance the imbalanced,a great spell of 16/3 in 4 overs.
RP Singh no less to be praised,deserves all the adulation one gets while winning.

The final over:
With every Indian skipping his heart beat for the over,it seemed like a sure shot win for the Pakis when Misbah went for a giant six.Pressure all built on the Indian faces.......with Dhoni keeping his mind cool,with sensible thoughts and optimistic feelings gushing through his blood.Required was only 6 off 4 balls.2 runs from each of the 3 balls would have left the Pakistani flags flying high with pride leaving 1 more ball in hand,but Misbah the top run scorer of Pak proved to be foolish by striking a blind shot which left the ball landing safe in Sreesanth's hands.It was jubilation all over with Indian flags high up and Pakistani flags disappearing slowly from the crowds..........
The last ball left the entire nation burning crackers of joy,pride,patriotism and unity.All the pubs and public plazas were flooded with jubilant citizens celebrating the history repeated by this young Indian team.

The credit of batting goes to Gambhir who was glued to the crease with an amazing knock of 75 off 54 balls studded with 8 boundaries and 2 sixes who led the Indian victory cruise.Bowling wise it was Pathan and RP Singh at their best.............
Yuvi did all he could do to set India reach the top of the ladder.Mahender Singh Dhoni looks like THE BEST CAPTAIN.Team effort in simple words.............

MEN IN BLUE FINALLY ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do occupy space...............................

You'll generally find folks who curse their obesity,who wish to have a slim built.
But here I present you "The great me" who has a reverse wish..................


When I travel by buses(which I do daily),I dont quite often get a seat,when I get 1,im the happiest soul ever..............but this happiness lasts for minutes.The moment someone notices me sitting,they ask me to adjust though its not practically possible(3 people on a 2 seater).Even when im not well,I dont get to sit comfortably........people dont seem to acknowledge any body pains I get.Other day the bus was not actually crowded,but there was no place for the conductor to sit,the moment she saw me,she asked me to adjust,just pushing me off and occupying the place and that day I had the world's most horrible back ache,but people damn care about it............Ok thats quite fine,I do understand her problem of standing right throughout the journey.....but atleast i expect people to kick off when they get a place,inspite of getting a place right in front of her eyes,she dint move.Thats the disadvantage of being thin..........(people generally complain about disadvantages of being fat,here is a peculiar case)I wish I were obese for this one reason.........sounds weird,right..............but does make sense because I travel several miles a day.

I can fathom no reason as to why im the only target,when there are so many other eligible candidates :P. Hey people have courtesy and spare me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little rueful............................

India.........................A real nature's treat to our eyes.The award for being sound in terms of agriculture will definitely go to India.Our Motherland has perfect living conditions(I mean the climatic conditions),people known for unity,a reservoir of knowledge and beauty.A PALATIAL DESTINATION FOR MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!(in short).


Transformation from a backward country to a developed country is evident...........The literacy rate has drastically improved,the poverty rate has decreased,technological development is in progress,huh..............lots to say in terms of its improvement.All such things seem to throw a gumdrop into our mouths.............But somewhere in my heart,something pricks me badly.............It feels like we are still cocooned in the world of evil.................with a whiff of bad signs blowing around.Are we the true citizens of India???????????Are we committed to our duties????????????Do we actually recognize our roles to be played????????The answer is definitely NO.

To delve in detail.....so many heart burning things keep happening-(in terms of cleanliness)people spitting where ever they want,littering the place with wrappers,urinating where ever there is a high wall.Point to be noted is that it is the educated who hold their hands intact with the uneducated,illiterate people in creating a squalid environment.
I guess cleanliness is long forgotten.............................

Are the other aspects perfectly alright?????????????????????????????????(I guess this can only be a sarcastic question ever asked)

Corruption has found its prey.............seems like there's no way of diverting the prying eyes of corruption targeted on India.Every corner of India runs only by corruption.The needy are never served without money,the dying are left dead for the greed of money.Injustice is best served as corruption can make "violation of laws" appear "adherence to laws".CORRUPTION has been rooted deeply...........due to which development seems to be hindered greatly.

My heart dies a million deaths when i mull over such things....................Always wish to see India on top,but..............our country seems to be ensnared in the vicious circle of discouraging attitudes and impish minds.

Things can be changed only if every citizen fulfills their part of responsibilities,it might be only a drop in an ocean,but after all every drop makes an ocean.We should awaken the zealous cat(spirit)within us to grip its claws on our country to transform our thorny path(present situation)into a path full of flowers(a developed clean India).

(This is to all Indians who read this blog-Please do your part of the work,don't wait for the others to do their part,answer to your conscience before committing,and please do not litter the place....If every citizen follows it India will be a real paradise)
