The Best Of 2005

Well yet another year goes by...My Second New year away from Trivandrum...Well now that shoul be the Norm for the next few years.This year was a very cruicila year as far as my future goes as it saw me get a job ...and that too one which i am enjoying very much.The biggest pain of the year was without any doubt the trip back from yercaud to trivandrum with my best mates.....well the realisation that it was never going to be the same again really put me into tears.It is not that we will nevr meet or that we wont be there like never before....But the magic of those moments was something that even a david blaine could never perform.We lived through all those precious moments like never before.The topping tothose was when we joined in a huddle ..as neil would put it"That would surely put team india to shame" and started hummming "Ek doosre se karte hain pyaar hum"...I could x change all the pleasures of my life for moments like those.The highest point was quickly followed by the realisation that we are going to split for one year..But time has flown past very Quickly....2006 is on the way..So are we..June .that is the month ..The vikings will be back.
The other high point of 2006 was indeed me getting selected for my job from more tha a hundred of applicants..Well i am really grateful for my formative years in LOYOLA school for my perfomance at the interview where i was interviewed by the Manager of our department ..and by god's grace i was able to impress him...
Well other than that Neil going Down Under to represent his uni for moot court..Sajjad and unmesh getting placements at CTS and INFOYS respectively..RC flunking nine of his subjects..Ravi scoring a half century against my team in the inter poly tournament(Even though he should have been out firts ball from me(not boasting but the "best bowler in my secondary school")..But lucky him. he somehow dugout a yorker to guess where..THIRD MAN!!!!!)Afzal leaving for London from the gullies of ullor.Circuit working hard to pass his B.COM.And the biggest surprise that 2005 could give .....SABARI passing all his first year BDS papers..
That was 2005 in a flash.It had more but nothing better than the above mentioned incidents.
The expectations for 2006 are high...I need to further my studies.Get a degree as fast as possible which will see me getting a higher salary by god's grace.Chotte and Rc to secure a Job .Sajjad marrying Shayana..NEil falling in love.Sabari to continue his winning run...LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST "JUNE TO ROCK"

The Plight of Cricket

Well it is not that cricket had lost its place in my heart ....But somehow the turmoil indian cricket was going through didnt inspire me to blog about cricket.I hope that gives a good explanation to the question raised by my cricket mates as to why i didnt blog in support of my favourite cricket player.Cricket is game of uncertainites and indedd it lives up to show its real colour every now and then.The "Maharaja "of indian cricket whose bowling nevr won him a place in any form of cricket is included in the indian test team on virtue of being a batting all rounder...Ridiculous outrageous are too light words that could perfectly describe this.Ajit agarkar winning a test place ahead of Zaheer khan indeed puzzles just due to the basic fact that until now ajit agarkar is the only bowler in the whole cricketing world who can't bowl six good perfect balls in an over.Every two or three good balls he bowls ...u bet a couple of half volleys will be followed by one down the legside.Zahher for all his bad time he had is one bowler who has showed his ability to bowl well to the tail as well move the new ball around considerably.Now to the Bcci elections ...A new board president form Maharashtra ...Haha ..Nothing is goona change in indian cricket.And whta more you will see talented keepres like Dinesh Karthik left to warm the bench while kepper like Sameer dighe (a guy from maharashtra)don the indian colours.Well the goosd aspect of Sharad Pawar being the Board president is maybe guys from Maharashtra wil;l get more consideration.And if in case this happens to be the scenario i would love to see Amol Muzumdar don the indian colours before it is too late.He is one high scoring batsman who due to certain unknown reasons has never been given a proper run in the indian team.While Muzumdar can hope the call.a few others like Devang Gandhi.Laxmi Ratan shulka,Deep Das gupta and last but not the least Dada it is going to be a tough time .BArring dada the rest others can leave behind their dream of playing for the country once again.As for DADA ...SOuravyou was ,you are ,and you will be .....THE BEST CAPTIAN TO LEAD INDIA.The way they have treated you should let you down as you have nothing to prove to any of those f****** selectors.TEAM INDIA.....Go ahead...
