India's early exit from WC 2007

Well, first of all, I pay my condolences to the great INDIAN players who could not make it to the finals...errrrrrrrr.....sorry...to the Super Eight round of the WC 2007.

Well I guess we were unlucky to have Bangladesh in our group..(I dont know..all of a sudden these B-grade players changed there grades and defeated us. I feel ICC had a setting with them...Or they must have taken steroids...or some kind of drug since all of them used to go mad after taking a wicket...dancing all around and punching up in the air...now if you wanna punch at least punch in the right direction).

I have a question that is killing me...Does India perform good in WC after being defeated in a tournament just before the world cup commences???(This happened in WC 2003. But in this WC..we played extra-ordinary in the previous tournaments)

I can understand that INDIANS are human beings(Yes they are) and they are bound to make mistakes. Cricket is a game after all...(I believed Till Bob Woolmer was killed...) Sometimes the players are bound to perform badly and sometimes they shall be the Best. I dont understand why can't we take our defeat in a normal way rather than behaving like a child.

The media and the BCCI(Baramati Cricket Council of India) , I guess are going to make this sport a dirty and a non-promising sport. The media is just bothered about there publicity than anything else....
The BCCI is running around praising that Australian(Good for nothing coach). It has still retained him for some king of job(I guess Chappy is interested in MANDIRA BEDI and has bribed the BCCI for retaining him).... And the media on other hand is busy searching for some bad conduct of the Cricketers.The recent news about Sachin Tendulkar( The GOD is synonym for this Batsman/Bowler/Fielder) cutting the Cake with Indian tri-colour on it. Now the case should be filed against the person who did the icing on this cake....not the one who did the obvious thing of cutting the cake....

Now to add to this drama, the selectors are planning to take some freshers in the team....Are they gone mad? Is cricket like IT industry where in a fresher can do much better work than a 17 year experienced one...I feel it is more of show-off than anything else..They just wanna show some concern about the things happening...

There are more things to add... "Sachin should retire...Sachin no longer GOD of cricket...Sachin send the notice...". Now a question of retiring I guess should be an individual's decision. And specifically in case of the GOD...he has a lot to give to the world of cricket.. Not performing in two matches does not mean he is doomed... He is the MASTER BLASTER and shall remain one...
There is no doubt in his excellence... I doubt whether any one can break the record of his centuries in ODI... The DAY Sachin retires I bet more than half of the population of the world shall loose there interest in Cricket.

Habibul Bashar's comment on India and Pakistan not fit to be in Super Eight shows of his ignorance ..... Simply by performing good in a few matches does not mean they are superior. Let him experience th defeat in the forth coming series.

Well I personally wanna give a message to the INDIAN team...take this defeat in a positive manner than a negative one..and give your Best when you enter the ground next time...
Best of luck against the Bangladesh series... Hope that you reach the finals.....oops..I guess since there are only 2 teams you shall surely reach the finals.

October 27th '05, in the deadly and scary rains, someone waiting for....

"Good night,sweet dreams and c u soon....".The last words on the call before sleeping.
"So finally there it was my license to my First Air Journey ..."i said by holding the airticket of Jet Airways...to PuneThe happiest moment.Now the Journey date was 27th...but i still wished not to make a mistake and not to forget anything...So my luggage was ready on 25th night itself...
"So i m flying for the first time and that also for the Most happening event in my life....So Mr.Ashutosh...sleep well and Good nit to u too..." said the inner voice and i went off to sleep.
Little did i know that the next morning shall be the scariest day of my life...

I got up early,finding myself floating in the pond of water..."What the hell is this!!!!"...I thought for a second i must be dreaming...But then thought vanished in a fraction of a second.I openend the door and found the trees bending enough to tounch the ground,the rain water splashing against my face and...eveywhere there was atleast a knee height water everywhere...

"So no Call Taxis,no Autos,no Local trains and on the top this stormy weather...Now y this happens only to me everytime..." were the thoughts runnin in my mind.I had no other alternative left than , to pay more get the hell out of there to office.Agreeing to pay a Autowala 3 times the usual rate...i took my luggage and reached the office wet and drenced with water.

Finally the first happy moment...My lead asked me to leave immediately to the airport. So took my luggage, got an Auto (guess so was from pre-independence...) as its condition sucked...but who cares when it is takin u closer to ur destiny.
Next task...what is to be done at the airport...where u get the Ticket ...all thoughts mingling in my mind.But the staff was helpful enough to tell everything.Thus the scanning of the check-in luggage,getting the boarding pass and the security stuff was cleared and i waited to Board.
"Passengers travelling by Jet Airways Flight to Mumbai please proceed towards boarding".My seat was 12F.
Finally in the company of air hostesses i completed the journey in 2 hours and had landed my destination...
