I am a diehard cricket fan... So I must be posting at least one blog about cricket...and what cod be a better topic oder than sledging Aussies....(The so called unbeatables.. invincibles...) in their own language....... There was a time when Alexander thot to rule this world.. he codnt succeed.. den came Hitler....and in between many more.. and after dat many more as well... but noone cod succeed....I can't take it from them their efforts...They were all gr8 persons...but still alas......Now is the time when Aussies want to rule the world..(of cricket..).. They almost succedded too...but every time it seemed they are ready to beat Hitlers of old time.. it was us yaaa (We Indians...) who proved...not only at that time... but at this time as well.... tyranny codnt be tolerated....
The way we defeated dem in 20-20 World Cup.. den in CB Series Finals.... tell the story in itself...and needless to mention the fierce bouncy Perth track(Their trump card).. where we decimated dem.. and gave them a lesson for a lifetime. Such was the wrath from Sydney test...that Aussies almost surrendered themselves in Perth. Some wise man has told once.. "Only the worthy should be getting fruits for work not the greedy"...and thats what we can see.... You cant become a champion by sledging and riding on ur luck all the time....
What Kangoos did at Sydney is not at all what we expect of a champion... Even Mr. Pointing (though he will not admit it).. would have been thinking "What have I done!!! Is dat what u call cricket" India was not defeated that day..cricket was devastated..The so-called gentleman's game has been gently manhandled... That was really what u call Fall from Grace.... Its not a coincidence that the grandold man of this game was W.G.Grace.. and game was always played with so much grace.... Here 'Fall from Grace' also characterizes falling from the great man's standards he set for others....
I have no reservations in saying that Australian side has shamed the game. Australian Cricket Board chief executive James Sutherland was moved to remind the team about the spirit of cricket........ Some have even said the lingering legacy of Ponting's team will be its surly behaviour, a view suggesting that in 50 years, it will be remembered for its failings of deportment rather than because it became statistically the greatest in history. .....
Quoted somewhere:-
We have taught dem well about ascendant trend inspite of being caught in the middle of controversy...... All top players adopt the similar route before plotting their own fall from grace : from enthusiasm comes commitment, commitment comes expertise, from expertise comes confidence, from confidence without humility comes over-confidence, from over-confidence without restraint comes arrogance, from arrogance without common sense comes humiliation, from humiliation comes knowledge of reality !

दिल के अरमान आसूओन में बह गए...
Dats what was my Orkut name for a majority of the past 6 months or so.... Very people are aware why so.... Sadly I am not one of dem...... but a lots of guesses.... I tried to dig in and find out the reasons..but alas..codnt succeed...and then the title itself speaks a lot....
When I landed @ Heathrow ... here at UK I just thot that I will be landing altogether on a different planet.. where I will be finding a lot of aliens..behaving in a quite strnage manner( to me)...(N.O.M.)...but to my utter surprise, I found that I have reached Mumbai yet again...... The same chaos... and same crowd and similar people... The cab driver was waiting for m outside to drop me at Ipswich.. and it took him around an hour to come out of Heathrow thru multi level parking.. He was pissed off.. (Dont mind the language..I codnt find a better word to describe his situation)...and was complaining "You will not find a second airport in the world where it takes an hour to get down from 3rd floor".. I suddenly struck me 'Yeaahh. I found one...'Situation is same everywhere b it India or UK.. people find it very easy to ridicule about others... Anyways I didn't like him boasting about UK.I was very really hurt.. and replied him back... "Its not the case Steve... we have one in India as well".... and he codnt stop smiling... he wod have thot as well that he found one.....
After reaching Ipswich....I went thru what people call 'Jet Lag'. Was feeling sleepy...My roomies were telling due to jet lag.. I consoled myself( Didnt believe in jet lag).. telling them its due to journey.. I am feeling tired and sleepy. Slept and got up at 3:00 in morning on Sunday.. Still I prided in getting up early..but wen was feeling sleepy yet again at 8:00 P.M.; codn't help but believe in Jet Lag...
Leaving the lag lagging behind.. I was back to normalcy in a few days..... and continued my journey further.... The best timepass for Ukeites.. is to talk about weather..and dey go on talking abt it.... till the weather doesn't improve even after a lot of cursing.. and they seem to remember, it cant be helped... I codnt find much of a difference( Now I am exaggerating this....) except for the facts that people here are self-dependent... there are more cars than people.. people here follow traffic rules..they are cordial..vehicles run at the speed of sound and still no accidents take place......and most importantly.....whole city is clean..... you can wear a T-Shirt.. twice without using Denim or AXE.......(Now dats not much of a difference..)Though this is not complete truth that eveyone @ UK adheres to this;there are quite a few who dont know the rules..but deb they are very few..contrary to India..... (Again NOM)...
Now some similarities...half of (what I have visited till date) is India.... with Indians lying here and there..and there is a place..Eastham where u can without an iota of doubt tell dat u r in India with some foreigners visiting this place.....Now anoder catch here.. Indians dont really mean people from India( but all the people of sub continent are referred as Indians..)
Dats enuf of UK and India......but den I have just started n this was abt wht I cod have written........
Chao.....
