"THE CAPTAIN"

It was the time when the Indian team winning a match was a mere possibility...There were loads of heart breaks as an Indian cricket fan...But then it all ended and there came this man who always was a sheer anchor for the Indians who changed it all .

"HE CAME, HE CAPTAINED, HE CONQUERED"

Who else could it be???It was our very own "SOURAV GANGULY'' known as the "PRINCE OF CALCUTTA"........He stood in front and showed people that what they played for was only"VICTORY" and nothing more or nothing less.....The brave lion by heart took the Indian team way miles ahead that had just "success stories" pinned to them.....

The Yuvraj's the Dhoni's the Harbhajan's came from where????who taught them what it meant to be playing for INDIA??????It was all an inexperienced Indian team that landed in Nairobi for the champions league and though they ended up as runners ,that tournament showed the impact of the "TRUE LEADER".From then there was no looking back for his journey of "VICTORY KISSED CAPTAINCY".......For what the Indian team is right now, well it was all the foundations of success laid by this man ..He was a perfect leader...A true warrior who stood strong by his beliefs and came back with a dashing form to prove it was SOURAV GANGULY and not a person who could be treated with dis respect after he was thrown out of the squad for his miserable performances..THAT SHOWS "CHARACTER AND STRENGTH"....He wrote his own story ....An EPIC that will remain unchanged in the hearts of millions forever.....

!!!!PARRA PARRA PARAGUAY!!!!!

Dat was one hell of a game that involved pride, passion and the game of FOOTBALL....Facing a team like spain in a world cup quarter final was never an easy task and paraguay's men did more than what they were capable of...Tonight's game was a total treat to all football lovers...every minute of it was nail biting.....Paraguay kept up their level to defend spain till the 80th minute before DAVID VILLA ,the man in action got into the treat of scoring the goal giving a sense of relief to all spanish supportes... A classic goal to be cherished....And no wonder he had so much pride on his face when he celebrated.....

The best part of the match was the DUAL PENALTY DISASTER....what more could we ask for in a game of football???????PARAGUAY let out thier chance to score an open penalty and within minutes we saw ALONSO repeatin that DISASTER for spain...hahahaha......no wonder millions of people follow this game.....

No matter what,PARAGUAY did show the world what they were capable of and now they can go home with pride of losin to a side that totally desreved victory...... There were few flaws in spain's playin though...that doesn count as long as the final moment is yours....

"SPAIN BEAT PARAGUAY"

We could see the pain in the eyes of the PARAGUAY players......Anyways dat was one hell of a game and we all totally loved it and at this point there is one man who is surely the man of the match...guess who??david villa????NO WAYS.....It was MADAN (STAR) GOPAL...and the reason???????It was about 60 mins in the game and he he suddenly pulled me up n asked

"MACHA PARAGUAY ENNA COLOUR DA"?????

I lost my life those two minutes and i am dam sure i have'nt laughed that hard in ma entire life time..WAY TO GO BROO...ROCK ON...We guys totally loved watchin the game at BLITZ....MADAN u proved to be the star and thanks a ton for the ENTERTAINMENT...

THATS HOW U SLAM BACK IN STYLE

When you win a match the way INDIA did tonight well what more could you ask for?????GAME SPIRIT,CAPTAINCY,INVOLVEMENT,KILLING INSTINCT,COMMITTMENT, and all other factors that were questioned during the world cup "FALL" would have surely found an answer tonight.....that was one hell of a victory for us to celebrate over the coming times ...

When BHAJJI slammed the six to kiss the line of victory, well who wouldn jump up in joy?????But then jus ask yourself this question...When India flopped at the world cup did ya even bother to support it the same way u cherished tonight's victory???well if ya dint den jus for a second be ashamed of ur self for not standin for ur national team and that too CRICKET ,the game That is worshiped all over the country.....

For those who talked about Dhoni's captaincy n consistency .ha ha well what more whack could you get from him??? losing out on such a great individual as a CAPTAIN would be a loss for us and not for The board which has crores and crores of investments and deals to bother about......Thank god no stupidity came into action by removing Dhoni as the Indian captain.....

Y is this victory so special???Y should this guy talk so much for a single INDIAN victory???m sure all these questions would run in your mind but then the only answer i have for you guys is INDIA BEAT PAKISTAN WITH 3 WICKETS TO SPARE AS A COME BACK FROM THE WORLD CUP "DISGRACE.......That was one cracker of a match and the involvement each and every payer had was totally INCREDIBLE.... well as i have written in ma previous blogs....

"ALL THAT ONE NEEDS IS A CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF RIGHT"

Well tonight the chance was taken and the point to be proved stroked right into your heart if ya really did feel disgraceful about being an Indian fan.....

"VERI IRUKKANUM MACHII..THOTTHA TEAMA UTTU KUDUKURAVAN SUPPORTER ILLA"

When i saw MSD walkin to the presentation ceremony with all his JOSH ..i felt so happy and proud for having RESPECTED AND BELIEVING THOSE TALENTS LIEIN BENEATH THOSE BLUE JERSEYS....

"WAY TO GO INDIA....TONIGHT YOU MADE US ALL PROUD.....ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS AND ONCE AGAIN PROVED TO BE THE BEST"

Atleast now hold it for yourself and trust the ones sweating out their hearts for us..... No one likes to lose and thats the case with our boys too and that SPECIALLY when you play for India

"YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MILLION SMILES AND TEARS TOO"

THE DAY THE "FAVOURITES" FELL HARD

That was truly a "DISHEARTENING"sight to see the Spanish heroes go down to the swiss warriors...But then ITS the best thin which could happen to Spain at this point....There should always be ''FEAR OF DEFEAT'' factor,no matter the peaks in which people are....The Spanish team totally missed out on dis...You call it "STUPIDITY" or "OVER CONFIDENCE"..Now thats what could happen to a team that is branded as "FAVORITES"....The world says it and so???u think that could give you victory????? Football isn't a game where this comes true .......

"WAKE UP , ITS TIME TO FACE REALITY"

Spain was not at their best today..In fact it should be stated that their performance was below par....Except for the possession there was nothing that could be stated as a HIGHLIGHT of SPAIN's game in the match and yeah of course ALONSO's trashing strike on to the post.......Torres was pathetic...Missed out on all the chances he got.....Giving reasons of being back from injury is all utter non sense..Once you are in the field "PLAY FOR IT ELSE NEVER STEP IN"....There are greats who have come back with a bang from injuries......PIQUE too was BAD on the field and so was the highly expected "DAVID VILLA".......CASILLAS already criticized for his poor run was bad too..And the goal that swiss gained wasn't a pick of the swiss forwards..It was the let down by the Spanish defenders.."PATHETIC" just couldn't be the word...Swiss would have scored the second goal too but then missed out on it in a threads chance......After that it was simple for the swiss..They played it smart to gain from the SPANISH HEAD DROP and there it was ..THE FINAL VICTORY......

Well apart from the game, i have seen this attitude of Spain supporters who tend to under estimate other teams ...Worse part is they dont stop with it and well it was now rightly proved

"EMPTY VESSELS MAKE MORE NOISE"

Now this defeat is for all Spain supporters who talked as though the world cup was already in their pockets ...Common ppl there are 31 other teams competing ...

" YOU ARE NEVER THE KING TILL THE LAST SECOND IN THE GAME OF FOOT BALL"

This defeat isn't a big deal...The world has witnessed the star studded REAL MADRID team filled with legends like RONALDO,ZIDANE,FIGO,CARLOS,BECKHAM go down to minnows in the Spanish league..Thats the nature of the game..You just cant help it...Well now its time for Spain to rise with all power and prove to the world what they really are capable of....Thats gonna be real awesome to watch the SPANISH heroes come back as "WOUNDED TIGERS" hunting hard for their prey.."THE VICTORY".....And for the kind of team they are I am sure they will and hope for them to end their world cup journey with nothin but success....

My anger was all about the unnecessary hype given by the Spanish supporters ......Take this on your face as a slap that hurts bad and this pain is what is gonna make u support Spain even harder but "IN THE RIGHT WAY".......

Now cheer up all Spanish supporters......You are now on the race and hold your team strong in your heart and don let it go....

Finally for my team (ENGLAND)

"Mr.Greeene wake up...Its time for practice.....GO ENGLAND GOOO!!!!!!!"

ISAI PUYAL---->A R RAHMAN

What should we call him ???????

"MUSIC IN HUMAN FORM"

Even these words wont be enough to praise this LEGEND.

"THAAI MANUKKU VANAKKAM SONNA ENGAL ISAI PUYAL A.R.RAHMAN"

Its in fact a true wonder how talents within people are grown and the way it is brought out but then i am sure this maestro had no need to bring that out at all as he always had it in him from the time he was born...Guess his purpose on earth is to serve the "MUSICAL WORLD" with his RAHMAN PHENOMENA.......

Recognized by our very own "ACE" director..MANI RATNAM...his numbers in the movie ROJA showed the world what he was capable of and of course to be recognized by a man like Mr.Mani rathnam is almost like winning an Olympic medal.... That is juts an example which tells us

"TALENT AND HARD WORK WILL ALWAYS BE REWARDED"

From then on there was no looking back for this man who turned himself from a tyro to a tycoon and carved himself his own reign in the world of MUSIC and CINEMA covering millions and million of hearts all around the world and every indian would stand up with proud eyes n wobbling heart beats when ARR's voice delights our ears......So much is the impact of RAHMAN's music...Heart kissing....Those are the words....."HEART KISSING"

He also proved to be one of the proud sons of MOTHER INDIA when he kissed those two oscars for his world renown JAI HO for "SLUMDOG"...And when he uttered the words

"ELLA PUGALUM IRAIVAN ORUVANUKKE"

PAAAAA who would'nt be in tears ????????A.R.RAHMAN from our very own chennai standing out there in front of a million people talking out loud with his music pointing at every other nation which said

"YEAH ITS TIME FOR INDIA'S PRIDE,BE PROUD,I AM STANDING IN HERE FOR ALL OF YOU, JAI HOOOO"

What a moment it was.....Truely awesome...Rewards have always been a part of this man and well to make his journey a complete one i don think there could be any REWARD that would be satisfying this LEGEND's MUSICAL WONDERS........Ages have gone by since he came into the field but then his dynamics of music and varieties always find their way to the people's heart.....Let it be KADHAL ROJAVE from ROJA to our latest USURE POGUDHE in RAAVAN,his music stands out in its own class and speaks for itself to be the best...That is what RAHMAN's music is all about....

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010-------->THE "BATTLE"

You call it "PASSION'

' You call it "SPIRIT"

You call it "ATTITUDE"

You call it "THE TEST OF CHARACTER''

You call it "THE BATTLE"

"You call it "THE GAME OF FOOTBALL"

The love the people have for this sport all over the world is something like a mothers love...Thats what this game is all about...Pure passion filled with spirits with heroes fighting it out in the middle for the millions and millions of people waving their country flag in each and every corner of their country!!!!!!

11 heroes ....when they walk down the dressing room the heart beats for them and when they line up for the national anthem, the true passion can be seen and they realize that its the pride of their country they are battling out on the field for .....90 minutes of total heart holding moments with every second being heavily counted in our heart......No doubt this game is called the "MOTHER OF ALL SPORTS"

It has all perfectly set and the theme song by singer K'naan is already giving us all the energy to gear up for the world cup.You listen to this song and you feel that real passion for the sport inside you creating waves of emotions which makes the wait for the this totally impossible.....

"WHEN I GET OLDER.THE'LL CALL ME FREEDOM

JUST LIKE A WAVING FLAG''

(check out the video at the bottom of the post)

Now whose voice does'nt go in for this????

Each and every drop of sweat counts...It is going to be a mix of all emotions......The smile it brings on ones' face when the ball finds its home inside the net,the drop of tear that causes a huge pain in our heart when the ball misses the net at that crucial moment.....The way our heart beats and wishes for that goal when our hero tackles the ball all the way down the ground to finish his shot.....The fear that rises inside when the opponent is proving to be the hero...The anger that u steam with when our men are tackled rough......The killing instinct that pumps out when the "enemy"is kicked hard..The love that rises in your heart when your hero does it for you and celebrates the goal.....The pride in our eyes and heart that comes up when that day belongs to us....What more could one ask for??????

""YOU HAVE THE PASSION AND LOVE

THEY HAVE THE GAME

AND THE GAME HAS IT ALL""

Its time for all of us to kiss the emblems on our jersey and paint the flags in our heart and watch our heroes bring us glory ....VICTORY is what we all could ask for.....But not everyone wins...Finally its gonna be the REAL HEROES who come out as CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

MY HEART BEATS FOR FRANCE AND ENGLAND..WHAT ABOUT YOU???????

WID ALL LOVE FOR THE SPORT

YOU CALL IT BEING AXED????I WOULD CALL IT A BREAK!!

Yuvraj Singh axed from the asia cup squad!!!The words ruling the headlines for past two days.....I should clearly say it is a must needed break for yuvraj to come out as a totally refreshed yuvi n change his attitude that has been over his head ....There is no doubt that Yuvraj's playing interests have gone down to levels up-to which it cant be explained...The momentum his presence gives in the middle with his bat or with his safe pair of hands has reduced a lot such that he is being totally unnoticed on field except for his history and for his looks.......

His failures in past few seasons have been so terrible...He is in a serious lack of form and all that he needs is just a break from the pressure so that he can build his game again without any loads on his shoulders.....His fitness too has been under par as complained by the coach and a firing gun like yuvi needs to keep up his fitness to keep his form going...This was a tweet from Yuvi when all these controversies were blowing him

"WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH,THE TOUGH GETS GOING"

Hope these are'nt just words from him for people to say awwwwww yuvi poor guy or whatever....It is for sure a hard call on him and he should take this up as challenge and crack his way back in to the Indian squad...

What could be better than seeing our own YUVI in full flow when he gets going..There are only a few clean hitters of the cricket ball and YUVRAJ'S names is for sure one among them.....There are millions of Yuvi lovers who would wanna see this master blaster back in form but then at the same time his missing does hurt a bit.....There is no way in which a world cup squad could be named without YUVI's name in it....Hope to see you back soon ......

This is clearly what stardom can do to you.....Once you excel there are loads of expectations and sad part is you remain a celebrity only as long as you excel.....The hard work one puts in to become one goes totally unnoticed except for a few...Well thats the nature of it and nothing can be done about it....

"WE KISS WHEN YOU WIN AND KICK WHEN YOU LOSE"

PEOPLES's ATTITUDE..Hope a change does come up with this attitude and we should support our stars when they are on the lower profiles..Yuvi my support goes for you and I am sure you are one of Indian crickets's most "GIFTED SONS"......
