Those were d days.........
Open the news paper, switch on d news channel, you've sure shot encounter with IPL saga, Lalit Modi, Sharad pawar, etc. In my opinion IPL has become INDIAN PATHETIC LEAGUE rater than INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. I even failed to understand What is so premier & moreover it is league of politicians, business houses rather than players. It has really disturbed the form of cricket. nowadays randomness overpowered d real technique.
Thinking on these lines I reacalled d days when I was very much fascinated by cricket. those were days when I was in middle school. to b precise 1994-2001 ( Hold on I was not in middle school for so long time) But i'm talking in general. Real enthusiasm abt this game started in 1996 world cup. I didnt missed a single match. I really cried when we lost to Sri lanka in semi finals. in 34.2 overs we were at 120/8.(hats off to my memory ) We literally gave up. If u remember guys, Vinod Kambli started crying on d ground itself. & after wathcing that may father furiously switched off d TV with dozens of obesesive words. I felt really bad that time
Another stunning moment come to my mind was the greatest Innings played by Sachin in coca cola cup at sharjah in 1998. what a great innings it was!! I still remember the faces of Australian players specially Damian flaming & shane warne. Yesterday I was watching the glimpses of that match & I was equally excited as that time.
Watching sachin Vs. shaane warne, Mcgrath, shoaib akhtar is a grand treat anytime. plz recall world cup of 2003. What a six hit by sachin to shoaib akhtar to wel come him in his first spell. oh gosh.. I can still fell that moment while writing this.
There are many such moments. but year by year my interest in cricket in largely reduced. I don't know why?? nowadays I cant watch 20-20 also. In my childhood I used to remember complete bating & bowling line up of India, Australia, Pakistan, west indies. But today I cant even tell u who r members of Mumbai Indians. :)). My friends were so surprised when they come to know that I didn't watched single match of IPL of any of 3 seasons. Its not about IPl but true about One day also. In Nagpur there is International stadium. But I didn't felt that I should go & watch some matches ( or have entertainment in case of IPL).
That may be perhaps due to malpractices in criclet, overdose of matches,. same critics same praising, or lack of time may be a reason.. Involvement in other youthful activities ( now don't ask about it) has significantly diminished my interest in this addictive game.
It is said that ,in every 5 yrs our perception towards things change. so Before 5 yrs I was damn addicted to cricket. 2day i'm least interested. now let see what happen in next 5 years....... Looking forward now. after all........
EVERY ADDICTION IS NOT INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.....!!!

5 Hours at railway station.
When we were in school there were typical topics of essays such as An hour at railway station, My favorite games etc. Butt previous was quite common. Venues may got changed, but theme was same.
Today I'm writing the same but in different perspective rather by different point of view.
One of my friend Akshay got shifted to Pune. So being his gud frnd i had responsibility of shifting his bike to Pune by railway. It was quite long procedure so i got chance to see railway station & its operations very closely. Otherwise we just see off the guests/ frnds &return home immediately.
Me and my another friend Vinod reached Railway station at 12.35 pm. The temoerature was 42 degrre celsius. :(. So one can imagine the situation). we went to the parcle office. & team of men rushed to us asking us as to what to pack......I explained him everything & he said, " Overall expanses will be 1000 rs" first shock. Then he explained, why it was so?? Actually they insure our belonging by estimatimg its resale cost. then he demanded 200 bucks for packing that vehicle. After that he told it was not sure whether that vehicle will get loaded in the same train due to heavy rush. In no time we realised that he want some chaay pani. I was furious, but then showed 100 rupee. & In a minute or two uncertienty changed to 200% gurantee of loading the vehicle. We took a sigh of relief & stated waiting for train
We had then experianced various new things at railway station such as 300 ml ,5 times filterd water at just 1 rupee. what an Idea lalu sirjee!! Then we had aPinapple shake at comesum hotel run By IRCTC. I remembered how i fought with my mother for a simple frooti at the cleanest shop some years ago. Today I'm taking shake from the similer vendor at railway station. One father with a son must be from village asking for water pouch & waiters gave him disgusting look. & again realised the wide gap between rich & poor. Another funny thing happened is when I showed d coupan for lassi, he said, " SOrry sir, lasssi will take time since switch was out order where the plug of mixer was getting attached. Hats offff!!!!!
Then we came to platform. One train called tamilndu express was about to depart .I observed various kinds of people. Some were drinking cocca cola, someone sharing frooti among three, someone buying the INDIA TODAY, someone buying key chain that too bargaining. Someone was busy on chating on mobile (as always) while general compartment people asking which station was there n telling other family members ( my friend was busy at looking at hot girls of Delhi. I joined him after a while). A family of 4 was there. mother was instructing his son for various things about various precautions to be taken at Delhi& when train departed she started crying. Her son must went there for job or so. It was areal touchy moment.
Finally our train came & vehicle was loaded. While returning I was thinking Indian railways is a huge thing. what a great network, lakhs of employees & every one is important there. great piece of administration. Moreover u can see every breed of man there. Rich, poor, young adults every religion, every caste. In short.....
RAILWAY STATION REPRESENTS INDIA.

Something about Womwn reservation bill
Passing of women reservation bill is really historic moment in Indian politics. Now monopoly of many politicians in parliament will definatly going to be affected. this 108th amendment in constitution is really a great achievement. But India is still on 99th position as far as global development of female is concerned. there is lot of literature about empowerment of women & their developments etc etc. But serious question about it is that Can they handle these responsibilities?. ( after readning this feamales gonna kill me) but plz think of it.
Indian politics have a great history of women participation. Sarojini Naidu, Indira GAndhi to name a few... Today also there are some fiercing leader like Vrinda Karat, Sushma Swaraj, Mayawati ( yes...). But can every women b like them?? certinely not. no need to go far, Imagine there r lok sabha elections & think of eligible women candidate from Amethi?? u can hardly find any.. But due to women reservation bill, if that seat is reserved for females then?? It become inevitable to give ticket to women which will hamper development of that area. same about many others... So the questionn arises whether the motive will get achived??
Secondally politics nowdays became a dirty caste & money game. So may b very difficult to get survive in this scenario.
This is somewhat negative aspect. But at the same time More no of them will get a good chane to contribute in decision making. like in civil services etc. I'm very much happpy with this fact. coz they r blessed with good decision making power by born, so its added advantage.
The worst part of it is the Indianness showed by some MPs. They once again proved that India is still male dominated But anyway its a gud development. But they must kep in mind that they r there for raising developmental issues not the cost of saris & all.
P.S- I suggest the same quota in appointment of marshals also in parliament(females) or else a day may come that all women fighting with belans & marshalls will be mute spectators!!!! what say?/ U know female tendency.......

After 6 months.....
Its been 6 months being away from this place, what i was doing in those months. i guess i was thinking a lot rather than writting anything. ( as d name of my blog suggests..) Well lot of things happened in these days. After finishing my last blog i was hospitalised for 7 days. It was a hilarious period of my life. bt taught me a lot of things.(sometime later abt it....) then in next month we celebrated 25 th marriage anniversary of my parens. It was really a grand gala.
Then come a new year 2010. Not a great beginning as such bt its ok. still 8 months to go. now again an exam season came. but i'm used to it. looking forward for great things. Many of my thoughts were posted on Facebook. but i guess blog is gud option. becoz people like me cannot put their thoughts in few words u knw.......
So i'm backkkkkk!!!!!!
