"Bleed Blue"..Pledge to WIN...

We won the semi finals at Mohali. For all of us defeating Pakistan was more of an emotional excitement than the thrill of winning the match. Tomorrow at Mumbai, when we will play Sri Lanka, it will be an action re-play of world cup finals 1983.

Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' take the bat they will remain hungry for runs. They will play the balls in the gaps for 1's and 2's, they will sweep the balls for 4's, they will hit the ball for flying 6's. They will never turn desperate in judging the ball, they will remain alert in not allowing the ball to hit their pads before hitting the bat.

Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' get into the field they will get their legs,feet and body right behind the ball.They will never fail to judge the flight of the ball when going for a catch. They will maintain perfect and lethal variation in line,length and pace while delivering the overs.

Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' play Sri-Lanka we the people will be applauding good drives, great deliveries, magnificent catches & excellent fielding without any bias & discrimination.

Finally when our "Men in Blue' will lift the WORLD CUP 2011...the world will see us delivering our "Bleed Blue" Pledge to WIN....

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

My expiriment with "TRUTH"..

It was today but the year was 1981 and the day was probably a Saturday. I was there on the ceremonial stretch of "Raj path".There were about 4 lac people like me "all excited", getting ready for the "action shot" for Richard Atendbrough's film "GANDHI". The scene was Gandhiji's "funeral procession".I was wearing white khadi "Pajama & Kurta" which I bought from Khadi gram udyog at 'Regal building the previous evening. This was the recommended "dress code" for the shoot. Probably I never thought then that I was about to be part of a "live action crowd" of this magnitude that will never again be filmed. Soon the heavy camera's parked on the cranes started rolling. I lost the count of how many times those giant like cameras zoomed in and zoomed out of me. I was simply emotionally charged walking the stretch shouting "Vande Matram","Mahatma Gandhi" "AmarRahe"...
