From one magnam opus to another money-churner

Here it is ! India had moved on from the enthralling World Cup win, and was beginning to move on with the enjoyment.

But then came the annual money-churning machine of India - The IPL. And this time, with the teams coming fresh after newly roped in auction "commodities" (sorry, players), and many teams coming with a new look with sparkling jerseys. And another change from the previous 3 versions of the IPL was that, there were two more teams in addition to the league this time. The Pune Warriors India and the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.

So the vacation bandwagon has a different timing, With a couple of players opting the IPL over their national boards, there is certainly the controversy that the players are preferring the IPL because of the higher paycheck. Not necessarily. Because since it also is a shorter format, it doesn't require the tough amount of fitness required for the longer formats of the game. Justified enough, but still isn't that much as compared to the pride of playing for the country. But again, it's a personal choice.

Well, till the IPL gets over, the bond with the viewers and their television sets is going to be still strong. And that would be till May-end. So it's going to be pure entertainment !! And will it be a new winner this season as well ? Let's wait and watch.

one heck of a trip..

its not everyday that u go for a trip. but the one which we went ws very exciting.. its not evryday tht u go to a 150 km trip unplanned and all of a sudden. so in that way it was special. we experienced everything in between. 8 of us. the trip wasnt wht it became at the beginning. at the start, the idea was just to hire a vehicle and roam around the city. but when we had hired the vehicle for a day, the thoughts began swirling. bright ideas came up of what to do with the vehicle in one day.. and amongst many options put forward, the Cherai Beach near Ernakulam was the one we fixed. Started in the night of that saturday. Lots of roaming abt the places and confusions in between regarding the routes. and besides that there was this shortage of fuel. a couple of times, we just reached the petrol pump, jus when the fuel was getting over. the whole night we were driving. at abt 2:30 am we went to our friends' house on the way. now tat was a surprise 2 his mom.. then at abt early morning ...

My Book Review - The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini Recently read this book. A wonderful work with blending of emotions. The story was interesting in the way it moved on from childhood to future life of the central character. It explains a lot about life in Afghanistan, though it is way back in the 80s, but still many times I felt really sorry for the life there. In a creation of fiction, it doesn't seem to be safe at all, so in reality, it would be worse.Would suggest anyone to read through it. The story is a definite example of the fact that, we do commit mistakes in our lives, and that there are chances to rectify them as well.

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.
