Back after a long hiatus and I don't have any topics to comment on.Yesterday was one of those days when I hit home pretty soon.It was the usual evening, the TV running , reading newspapers and the chat with the family.Nothing new, except that I had this feeling of having visualised the exact scene somewhere else. I have not seen the scene in a movie or show or anything but I had this feeling that I was part of this scene already.And as I was still pondering about where I had seen this,I saw an advertisement which I had not seen beforeon TV but I still felt like I had seen it somewhere.I am not sure if I have been able to convey anything with all the "seen" and the " scene" words.
I have always wondered about the conscious, subconscious and the unconscious minds and the strength of each.Yesterday I realised how less I know about each of these.I believe each of us have had this experience where we are part of the present having our joyous discussions and suddenly realise that we have had the same conversation, maybe in your dreams.I have faced this a number of times before too.I remember once when I was still in school and my seniors and me were having a nice time chatting, when all of a sudden my senior was into complete silence.Later when we questioned her she was explaining to us that she felt like she had, had a vision of this scene before. Has any of you felt that before? If so, what do you call this? Is there something you know about why this happens. I don't have answers for any of these questions but am hoping to find the answers.

What about sportsman spirit????????
Every single individual follows some sport religiously or atleast have watched it simply for the spirit with which sport is played.The few things that comes to one's mind when one talks about the important of sports or games at a very young age is the fact that:sports instill passion,discipline,importance of working as a team,to be able to accept failure,to keep your head on your shoulders when you keep winning and above all the spirit of sportsmanship.
After seeing the final days play of the Sydney Test between Australia and India, all I thought was we do not go to the same school as the Australian cricket team(atleast with respect to sportsman spirit!!).After four days of intense cricket with some dubious umipring decisions and some racist allegations,the final day's play looked like it was going to be a great contest....and it was everything but a contest.There was this man called Adam Gilchrist, who walks when he is out and so asserts to be a very honest and gentleman cricketer..I believed so!!!He was one guy I respected in the current australian team until today. Afetr seeing Rahul Dravid's dismissal I just had my opinions turned.There was n0 one but the batsman and the wicket keeper who could have known whether the batsmen truly nicked the ball...But gilly went up and appealed......some one who claims to be a gentleman cricketer???
Sourav Ganguly's dismissal was yet another dubious umpiring decision, with the umpiring prefering to clear his doubts with the fielding side captain.Had this man Ricky Ponting walked when he was out in the first innings his words could have been taken...But a man who does not walk when he is out...how could one even take his word about a catch being taken clean.....And again,Ponting appealed or a catch that he grounded and reacted as though no umpring decision went his way....
It has been quite a while since the australian team has been given a tough fight and they have turned every stone to dent the Indian morale...racist allegations, such unhealthy appeals.A few years ago, Australia was led by this great guy called Steve Waugh and every player swore by the code of conduct he had for his team.The whole world respected Steve and his team.No one has anything against Australia or its victories.But is it fair to stoop so low to win a match?????australia have won but the game has lost.
I remember watching some great cricket moments on TV.Courtney Walsh, the great bowler from West Indies refused to mankade the last Pakistani batsman, in a World Cup(1987)League match.Remember mankading is legal in cricket.Had he done that West Indies would have won the match and booked itself a place in the semi-final but Pakistan won that match and West Indies lost.I has a year when this incident happen...but this incident has been one of the biggest incidents where the game won!!!!!I dont remember the batsman who won the match for Pakistan...but I will never be able to forget this act bt Courtney Walsh.This is why we call cricket The gentleman's game.And today cricket is everything but the gentleman's game.
I never thought a five day test could teach me so much
1. Winning is not everything....that too at the cost of one's conscience.
2.Determination and fighting spirit will take you places(Anil Kumble u are the hero of this match)
3.Accepting defeat with grace.(Even after all that happened,Anil Kumble said we must have hung in there and played better in the last session).
4.Patience is a virtue.Anil Kumble again.Minced no words, did not say a wrong word!!!And to that guy called Rahul Dravid, how long will you keep ur anger to yourself.After his dubious dismissal,all he did was give a sarcastic smile!!!If there is some medal for not showing anger, rahul wins it hands down!!!!
5.Agression is not about shouting and attacking.Watch Kumble's innings, he was just not going to get out today.
After all that is said and done, come on India we need to fight this series out and as far as this match is concerned I will remember it as the match that was played with the least spirit and this australian team does not deserve to break Steve's record wins!!!!!!!!!!

Media....hmm.....
Ha here am finally trying to type in something after months......I now have realised how fun life is working 24*7....minus the work I guess the brain really does not work a bit and so no thoughts and no blogs too!!!Through our lives (at least our genertion) has been really acquainted with the media like no other generation.Maybe the next generation will feel more of its effects.We grew with media maybe they will grow in the media.Thats how things are these days with everything from who sneezed and who slept 20 hours are making the news!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being pushed to watch the TV for the past 3 months , I have watched a hundred reality shows(where half the show is staged!!), a thousand stupid serials(all with the same story..watch 2 min of the show and you can be the script writer for the next 2000 episodes!!),a lakh interviews, a million news updates.Am in awe about the number of news items that gets telecasted in a news channel everyday.If one has missed all interviews, tv serials and reality shows..you just need not worry...switch on a news channel and the entertainment, glitz and glamour and reality there makes upto a million other tv channels!!!I really mean it.
There was a time when we really had , just the half or one hour news programs, then we had a few hours and now we have news channels in every language each running their string of stories! Am still thinking of why there are stories of me yawning and you laughing making it to the news and all the only answer I can get to is...they are running a 24 hours channel and unlike a news paper they need to be bribing the viewer with something or the other..So everything typically makes news!!!
I have been watching too many of these channels...tamil, hindi and english(guess should try out other languages also...guess it would be my free language course!!). News these days have been more of being tentative...there was a time when we saw just what happened and today i see what might happen, what might have happened behind scenes and what not. This day I have been seeing about this news exclusive about Sachin contemplating retirement on one channel, him not retiring in the other and what not!If Sachin is going to retire he will make a statement ,wont he???Why is everyone contemplating everything??We don't even know if that thought has crossed his mind, but everyones discussing of will he or wont he!!!!!!!We have so many of this might happen the first hour and this did not happen in the next hour!!!
All these keep happening but there are definitely those shows that really do convey what really is happening. We would have never known about all kidnappings and earthquakes and bomb blasts had it not been for these channels.Am happy atleast to see that we get to see the "real news" and also the fashion week at the same place.Atleast these news channels have become a place for everyone.Just tune in and get whatever you want.News, song, reviews, interviews,discussions, you name it and you have the perfect show dedicated for each of these.
Reality shows!!!!The trump card that every channel has these days!An indian idol, voice of india,sa re ga ma pa, super singer all have their own singing sensations, then there are the jodi no. 1's, nach baliye's and jhalak dikhlaja's all producing some dancers!!!!Some glitz, some glamour a pretty good no. of participants , some stage management, two non stop blah blah hosts, 3 judges and ya we have got one reality show. The only plus with all these shows, people we never knew became our acquaintances!!!Actually with some reality shows the prize money is so very catchy that it could actually set up the life for the winner!!!
All these said, what have I been doing all these days????Thank God I have got all these shows that would keep my brain from getting rusted.These shows after all save me from boredom and above all it has helped me write this blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advertisements
Its holidays and with no big work to do am pushed to watching TV!!And man i must thank everyone who was inolved in building TV, the dish and cable and everything. Each day i see so many programs, and i know everyone switches over a channel when there's a break!I do that too..But still no one can ignore those numerous Advertisements!!!
An ad might be shown for may be a few seconds or a minute, that is more of a irritation when we are seeing those interesting programs,but still what goes into making an ad, how well it has been able to influence our taste, and how important are they to every company.In fact i do remember some ad's that we have waited to watch(those cadbury dairymilk ad's, i just love them).
Some years back,1996 to be precise, i remember this ad by Pepsi(i think am right). When every other product claiming to be the official world cup thing, they came up with this ad, which simply said "just kill ur thirst,there is nothing official about it".And i learnt that this "unofficial" did wonders for the company.There are so many advertisements that have been a real influence in everyone's taste!
Who can miss those numerous billboard ads that we see everyday during our travel around the citi. I know many who used to turn around once they arrive at a signal, to simply look at the Rahul Dravid bill board!For hat matter, there have been loads of controversies about some billboards too.
In recent times there have been breakthrough's in advertisements and marketing with mobile ads and ads on the net coming into play.
Marketing has been very instrumental in increasing the revenue of the company or even creating awareness about certain news .Who can forget that "pulliraja" ad? It did make us talk for quite a while!How else would one sell a movie???Some movies,even if it has nothing bundled in it, had done well just because the way it was marketed.Marketing films has been so instrumental that it takes us to the theatres.These days a film that is not marketed well or even a product that has not been marketed well, definitely loses ground.
Its not that advertisements are big money spinners for their companies but they themselves are big money spinners.How else does a newspaper or radio or a channel make money.Ads are the main means of revenue for all our media!We hardly know that a minute ad during a prime time TV serial or a block buster movie or our cricket matches could cost lakhs!!Yes an ad, that hardly is shown for a minute costs lakhs(and remember,half the time we switch channels when we see an ad!!). Paying the channels, paying the cricketers,film stars, models and the ad crew and still an ad is able to bring about the big difference to a company.The whole look of a product(be it a movie,an awareness program or some commercial item) changes, the way it actually is marketed.
At the end of the day, marketing and advertisements are important and instrumental...and am definitely not going to forget any of those Raymond, dairy milk and titan ads , they definitely did create an impact!!!

DOCTORS!!! An incarnation of GOD?
As ever this blog too is inspired by one of those TV programs...Sitting home with nothing much but studying to do am more often pushed to watching TV.And today I was watching Believe it or not! A medical miracle.At least teh program was a lot better than one of those saas-bahu serials!
The story goes like this,this guy from Africa(i think) has had a bone deformity, that is so rare that the disease does not even have a name!!!The problem, the deformity has forced him to walk on four legs, just like an animal!!!!Such a rare case...Many of his neighborhood doctors gave up and he was left stranded for long with this deformity.But then he finally finds one who dares to give it a try. Surgeries, that would either leave him in a wheel chair forever or if successful could make him walk like anyone of us!!!An experimental surgery that could go either way!The doctor succeeds and this guy walks like us!He speaks of his dreams to study and be a teacher.It was brave on part of the guy to have lived with such deformities and keep trying to get it right when almost everyone gave up on him....and what to say about the DOC???????He has now set things right for a man.....made him dream, made him stop worrying about his deformity and live life the fullest.
More often, we have spoken of Doctors demanding huge fees and infact even accused them of being heartless many a time!!!But there is always the other side of the coin!How many of us have spoken about these people who could have saved many lifes, who have bought many lives into the world , and those who have made these miraculous achievements...that simply leaves us spell bound.
Often we have criticised doctors for being heartless, accusing them of seeing the patient more as just a 'case' than a human. But each day they see so many whining, so many suffering from pain and still to be continuing in the same job for years...they are not heartless but they have just learnt to not show the pain out!!!And Doctors have families too...many of us would have vent out feelings in our workplace or colleges once we have had a small fight in the family!!But for a doctor..to vent such an emotion could cost a life and who could have realized this more than a Doctor.All I could simply think after watching the story was...Miracles do happen and Doctor's demonstrate it more often than anyone.

Adieu BRIAN CHARLES LARA
Am writing this post with a heavy heart, after all am going to miss the high backlift, the force the bat comes down and the way the ball races through to the boundary and most of all those match saving innings!!!!!I know there are so many out there who dono who am talking about...but for me Brian Lara has been almost demi god!!!I have followed him, worshipped him, loved him....all for the true cricketing genius that he has been!!A modern Giant...I dono if am allowed to be writing about my fanaticism for this guy in a joint blog....bt i cant help that..i just wanted to...and i convey my apologies to my blog mates too!!!!!!!
Anyone looking for reasons i like Brian???????just 2 innings and and hat adds upto 876(375&501). For quite a while(during the start of his career) he had been a playboy...Success came too early and so did fame and he struggled to handle that well...A maiden century being a 277 against one of the best teams in the world(AUSTRALIA)...who would not get carried away...Months passed...days moved...bt he was breaking those records and who would not have got spoilt? He was cricket's first international superstar, his fame surpassing the seas, the kind of adulation that, normally, only Indian cricketers enjoy!!This happened at precisely the age when Lara was most susceptible and least equipped to handle its negative aspects. There is no pressure on you to remain a nice guy when beautiful women line up and try to jump the queue - to go home with you just because you are Brian Chraless LARA. We rubbished him...he whined in fact said he wanted to walk out of cricket, but yet came back strongly to what he loves most...Cricket.
This is the reason y he is my favourite even ahead of Sachin, Steve, Rahul, Walsh...Inspite of his super human batting abilities he was frail..None of these men had the very foundation of themselves shaken away!!!But Brian came back and rebuilt!!!
Captaincy came his way...he failed, went and came back strong.For all the majesty of his performances in the middle, Lara's greatest battles were fought within himself. Failed many a time but rose like a phoenix!!!!!!!!!!!To me he won over his dark side and came into light!!!!Gone was the arrogant young man...and came the mature responsible cricketer, did all this without the help of his bat!
Players from all around the world have hailed him!!Who would not???Losing a record that was on his name for 10 yrs...and came back and re written the same record to his name within a year..at the age of 34 when most would have sat back enjoying the game!He bats like GOD, but struggles like us to get rid of the flawed mortal tag!!!And thats y Brian u are my favourite Sports person....
The last of the West Indian Titans!!!The memoir of the lost west Indian legacy!!!A true hero who unlike the modern day's gr8 players..has played for a team that had lost its pride and sheen...A career that spanned his country's downswing in cricket but still been able to win matches...produce those beautiful innings....No wonder every cricketer envies his game and that amazing heart....As he goes into twilight, i think all will agree that he has entertained like none other!!!!A legend!!!
As pple say, "A LEGACY CAN COME TO AND END, NOT DIE". Hoping to c a beautiful SWAN SONG on saturday...Go Brian Go....U will be remembered as one of the greatest players to have played cricket...a true diamond in the crown called cricket....I wish u shine one last time................

F.R.I.E.N .D.S
Remember the day we first met??Not knowing each other...not wanting to know..not even a smile!!Then we started with a blank smile then started with a "nenga solunga" which eventually changed to "sollu" and which 2day is "dei sollu da"!!V have shared days, hours and seconds.We built castles with our thoughts, moved mountains with our dreams..2day i wanna tell u how much u mean to me hand in hand we will move the immobile...Long live our frenship!!
This is one of my favorite forwards that has been doing the rounds for quite sometime. How true!! V all start strangers and some end up being real close who u would never want to lose and some even after being acquaintance for years..still remain acquaintance!!!How weird !!!What makes u get close to some alone????
I have always been part of a gang right through my school and college days. And when there are gangs there r gang wars too...not the real war kind but cold war types!!! And everyday v have had our share of teasing, mauling, insults and what not…We are a gang , v pull each others legs but when one of us have a prob the first to come forward to help u are the ones who have been torturing u all ur life!!!
It is more of an unwritten rule too .In the gang v can tease each other but someone out of the gang does that and everyone is 2gether ready to pounce on someone.
The best part about being frens is, v have our own share of misunderstanding, v fight badly but still in a day or two v understand each other bury our differences ,get back together and it all starts all over again. How nice a feeling it is to have some on your side ..no matter what u are going through, someone who would be happy for u and someone who would just pull u back when u are going to make a mistake!!! There are very who few would understand when their fren stops them from doing something wrong…v would have never realized that v were to do a blunder and v were being stopped from doing that …We fight asking them do mind their own business and finally when v r in a fix v realize of how sensible some one had been in trying to stop u!!!V realize but there are hardly any who would care to ask an apology!!! But a sorry among frens??? that’s not right too! Thanks and sorry have no place among frens!!!
As the lines go
Some moments can be shared
Some feelings cannot be explained
Some words cannot be described
But nothing can be hidden
from a True friend!!!!
Even your unsaid apology would have reached them by now!!! That’s friendship!!!

I have always been part of a gang right through my school and college days. And when there are gangs there r gang wars too...not the real war kind but cold war types!!! And everyday v have had our share of teasing, mauling, insults and what not…We are a gang , v pull each others legs but when one of us have a prob the first to come forward to help u are the ones who have been torturing u all ur life!!!
It is more of an unwritten rule too .In the gang v can tease each other but someone out of the gang does that and everyone is 2gether ready to pounce on someone.
The best part about being frens is, v have our own share of misunderstanding, v fight badly but still in a day or two v understand each other bury our differences ,get back together and it all starts all over again. How nice a feeling it is to have some on your side ..no matter what u are going through, someone who would be happy for u and someone who would just pull u back when u are going to make a mistake!!! There are very who few would understand when their fren stops them from doing something wrong…v would have never realized that v were to do a blunder and v were being stopped from doing that …We fight asking them do mind their own business and finally when v r in a fix v realize of how sensible some one had been in trying to stop u!!!V realize but there are hardly any who would care to ask an apology!!! But a sorry among frens??? that’s not right too! Thanks and sorry have no place among frens!!!
As the lines go
Some moments can be shared
Some feelings cannot be explained
Some words cannot be described
But nothing can be hidden
from a True friend!!!!
Even your unsaid apology would have reached them by now!!! That’s friendship!!!
