After seeing my last post adding this. Seriously awesome experience its been. very good, very good. India got the world cup at last !!
Its time, am leaving for the day.. for the week too. After a long time, 4 days of holidays in a row come(of course i an spending 1 casual leave for that).
Today have added the video to my blog, but thats not how, I really wanted it to look, when played. Anyways..some thing is better than nothing naa..
Those were the moments indian cricket was loosing fans like me. Those were the times, the best of the batsmen in the team were beginning to be called "old"(or senior to make it less intense). Those were the moments Sachin could not find a place in team !!! (truley rediculous and showes how brainy indians can b at times, Ah! ofcourse, i am a deadly fan of his).
But !! ... The story begins to change as indians begin to change their attitude, and give their best out. And yesterday, Yuvi made me become his fan once more. He just proved how self-respecting indians are, just after recent similar incident by Ganguly against Broad's innocent attempt to sledge (which in turn bombed on Broad's own face). Poor Broad retains to be at the receiving end again. And he becomes the recipent of the "BIG-blows" from Yuvi, for Flintoff's MISTAKE, who evidently regrets after each of the six sixes in a row in Broad's over.
Waaw, really Woow. Who fucking cares, it was whooow. What a performance, what a timing, what a skill, what a show ! Yuvi was almost as good as Sachin :D. Thanks to barber shops and road side hotels with TVs, who never hinder the unrestraint croud to peep into. And you can never be want of company in a country like india, when the occassions(truely they are, otherwise, why would Murali Subramanian, GVP, would find a moment to mention it in EBiz meet) like cricket matches hap. Outspoken, lovingly cursing, cursingly cheerful, pessimistically optimistic (believe me there are many more ppl like me who earnestly look forward for a win even if 7 needed on last ball) croud it is. Ha ! having mentioned all that, now the anxiety begins as in a few minutes, the next deciding match for india is gonna begin. However, who cares india wins or looses, its the await that we taste which at last matters. of course, Journey is the one which is the more tasty part, right ?

This has been the best link I have come across till to date. And easily its the best page I have visited since my first encounter with a web page. And am thankful from my bottom of the heart to those who evidently made this earnestly and fruitfully.
Right now an unknown feeling fills my heart. Partly satisfying, partly dissatisfying, partly peacefulness still having good place for disturbance. As such, dont know the exact reasons for any one of these. Needless to mention, it only increased my reverence towards Dr. Khalam multiple folds.
And his self-motivation, dedication and determination towards his chosen goal, in spite of the untimely deaths of his parents and family members, are astounding and inspiring. His evident modesty and respect towards his superiors as well as subordinates are some remarkable points I loved the best. His meeting with Shivananda was the incident I tasted the most in his autobiography next to his moral feelings for his parents and his reaction at their expiries. If everybody thinks as broad and plain as Dr. APJ Abdul Khalam beyond the narrow minded gaps between casts, religions and nations, there would not have been these inhuman recent bomb blasts took place in Hyderabad and there would never have been such many more incidents which are unfortunately becoming mundane and insignificant. My heart went out like it never happened before on the day I read the paper on that day. And I could n't help myself to complete one column of that paper out of its lament nature. And like it never happened before my heart melt to see a mail regarding the great Javan Lt. Saurabh Kalia and his team of 5 others who will always receive my at most respect and salutes from the bottom of my heart.... I understood their greatness, by realizing my incapability and smallness just to read the humiliations they have undergone. I hope, at least a handful of my frenz could get a chance to read the mail if not forward it to let the other Indians know, what is going at LOC to our protectors. And I fear, if all these are happening for a reason! Ah!!.. finally I realize my limitations.. Hff! neways.. my curse skinned boon of forgetfulness helps sooth most of these, but only most of these.
Anyways.. I am only glad that, there have been people who have time to make such invaluble material accessible to all the internet users. And I thank them plainly. Glad that, I happen to be on OM's buddy list of Ajith.
Finally some strange/interesting things about APJ:
Kalam begins his day by reading from the Bhagwad Gita
Kalam is leading a remarkable ascetic life
He works for about 18 hours each day
He plays the Rudra Veena
Took leave just twice, when his parents died
He is a self-confessed Ram Bhakt
Reputedly suspicious of colleagues who tried to befriend him
