Wish you a happy Deepavali

Today is the festival of lights, you normally wake up hearing cracker sounds. When I was in India, I tried my best to be the first person to burst crackers but never succeeded. There were people who would not stop all through the night.

I am in UK now and for the first time in my life, I haven't heard even a "Usi Vedi" go burst.

Spirit lives and next time when I am back in India, I shall compensate for lost chances.

HAPPY DIWALI / DEEPAVALI !

Dho(ni) dala !

Everyone should stand up and give this man an applause, he stood up when masters, stars and even the wall collapsed. In my recent memory, I can't think of a more impressive innings like the one played by our wicket keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Can you remember of an Indian wicket keeper, who could match this innings. I can't, if you can post it in the comment and I shall disappear from my blog for two days.

I wasn't approval of the style which Dhoni adopts, to begin with but now I have to change my view point. Do we give too many weightage to style? In case of Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly, what we like is Stroke Play, Elegance and Timing which is very bookish. What can we say about Dhoni?. Can this be said, don't know

1. If you want to learn how to hit a straight drive, watch Tendulkar


2. If you want to learn how to play for eight hours in a test match, watch Dravid


3. If you want to learn how to dance down the pitch to an off-spinner, You should have watched Ganguly


4. If you want to learn how to play (whatever it takes) and make your team win, watch Sehwag and Dhoni
