World cup final

For the first time in my life I watched a complete world cup final. And boy it was fun... Superb match as it was, it had everything, sometimes Indians on top, at others the Pakitsatnis. At the end it was the Indians who hold their nerves to be the winner. Well a small description of the match along with my reactions follows. Here it goes...

The match begins with a surprise as Yusuf Pathan came to open the innings along with Gambhir(Hmmmm.... Has Dhoni gone made... I mean a rookie in final that to open the innings??) They started with an impulse but soon came down to earth as India lost Pathan, Robin, Yuvraj, Dhoni cheaply. It was the orthodox Gambhir who made 75 (HE got out on an unorthodox shot) Gul bowled really well. His yorkers except one were well directed and fetched him 3 wickets. Rohit Sharma provided the last flurish with 30 of 16 balls. Indians could get just 157 in their allotted 20 overs.

Now it was Pak's turn to get 158. It was a mixed start for them as they lost 2 wickets in 3 overs but scored over 30 runs. Imran Nazir was at his peak (Shreesath gadhava picth the ball up... swing tar houde ballala... ) It seemed that he would take away the match but Robin Utthapa had different plans. His excellent direct hit from mid-off got rid of Nazir. The match was in a oscillating situation. Indians got wickets at regular intervals. At the end it was match situation was 54 to get in 24 balls with 3 wickets to go(Come on boys its not over yet... go for the kill... Tya misbhahcha kahi bharosa nahi). Misbhah hit bhajji for 3 sixes in the next over and all Indians started to feel the heat. The next over started as bad as it could get with Sree hit for a six(Shit). If that was not enough Sohail hit him for 1 more six later that over(Damn it..... Shit......... Bowling yete ka.........). Fortunately Sree got his man on the last bowl. So 12 ball 20 to get. Not so difficult in 20-20. Then came a fine over by RP who conceded 7 runs with the wicket of Umar Gul(Ohhh .... Asiffff.......Lucky Lucky Lucky Lucky.... how can he get a four like that....shit shit shit.....). Last over.... 6 balls 13 to get.... Jogindar to Misbhah.... A very wide delivery....(Damn it... Come on boys you can do it....) ... next ball... a yorker outside the off stump.... but Misbhah doesnt connect it.... 5 balls 12..... next.... Misbhah comes down the pitch...A full toss... Straight over long off... For A SIX........(I lost it .................Shit.. Fuck...... What the heck........ Nooooooooooooo.... Damn it..).... Jogi under enormous pressure.... Next ball Misbah moves towards off side to play lofted shot over short third man... The ball is in air...(Oh my god.... its over ... Its all over... I am about to cry...) The ball comes down straight into Sree's hands. He completes the catch... INDIA WIN.......... WE WIN..... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
