India vs England 4th ODI

So India won the 4th ODI and along with it the series. Congrats guys!!! After the match was reduced to just 22 overs per team, it was going to be display of power hiting along with an array of variations from bowlers. And it happened like that only. What hurt me though was the Man of Match award. The game was so much Batsman driven that it was almost impossible to produce an economical spell. In such adverse conditions Zaheer produce an awesome bowling performance. He gave away just 20 runs in his 5 overs, in a match where the runs were scored for more than 8 runs per over. And that’s not it. He also took 2 wickets and a catch. But the Man of the Match award went Viru. Just shows how much the game has turned into batsmen’s game!!!

P. S.: Did you notice how Oasis Shah intimidates Indians while he is batting- running for a double even when the ball is going straight to fielder, making funny noises while running between the wicket!!!

Natrang

I seriously don’t remember the last time I watched a Marathi movie in a theater, so according to my memory this was the first time I saw a Marathi Movie in a theater. And where?? The center point of recent controversy, Bharatmata, whose owners have been asked by NTC to vacate the place. Well, I will discuss that point in another post. Now, let us talk about the movie. I must admit it was a pleasure to watch Natrang in Bharatmata. The theater is located in central Mumbai near Lalbaug, which was dominated by Marathi mill workers in the yesteryears. Viraj had gone to PVR Lower Parel to buy the tickets. But since it would have cost us Rs. 150 each, I felt that it was too costly and asked Viraj to watch the movie in some other theater or on some other day. Since, Bharatmata was the nearest theater he decided to go there. I also left from home to join him. When I went there, there was a huge line for ticket. I didn’t tell Viraj but I had just 30 bucks in my wallet at that time, but what y...

My favorite Dialogue : Vegeta's Respect

I wanted to publish this since long time, but always postponed it, waiting for the right time. Well actually it is not a dialogue, since only one person is speaking.  This dialogue is from my favorite Cartoon serial DragonballZ and is spoken by my favorite character Vegeta .

But unlike the Saiyans who are naturally aggressive, fight-loving, brutal, strongest warriors in the world, he is very calm, naive. He hates to be a Saiyan, when he realizes that he belongs to such a killing race. According to his blood line and roots on planet Vegeta, he is a third grade soldier in the Saiyan Army. On the contrary, Vegeta is the Prince o...
