Sorry for the long break, these
were the times filled with action and drama on personal front. Cricket seemed to be only content on this
forum understandably as this was world cup year and India ended up a tenure
across South Africa, New Zealand, England , Australia , Bangladesh and Srilanka
finally. It started in Dec 13 after HIS retirement in Nov 13 vs. WI at Wankhede.
Now we await the best travelling unit , top ranking test nation in Oct.
Transition has not been complete but future has some promise. Virat is at helm
in tests and maybe MS will say last hurrah in limited format after end of this
season with T20 WC. We have promising
batsman in store like Rahane, Vijay and Pujara. The home leg will be ok and
this team has bowling options to travel well. The India vs. Aus series in 01
which we one losing first test transformed and built Team India in the decade
of 00 culminating into WC win and test no 1 rank. Same can we said about the
victory in Srilanka. But for one session in Galle we would have whitewashed new
SL team. But for dogged batting by AB and Faf we could have won at Jo'burg and lost
one session due to great bowling by Steyn at Durban. we would have won Adelaide
and won in Nz but for stubborn innings from Mcullum. If doesn't matter but young team India under
transition showed the spirit to fight
except maybe last few tests in England (blaming BCCI as team India never has
played more than 4 tests abroad in past). world cup was good India and look
forward to new season
On usual political front the
negativity shown by media will be a case study in Indian politics (even for the
world to learn). Main stream media has lost its place in the scheme of things and they have tried to
strike with venom . Starting with Lalitgate, various bans which were there
since ages, they never lost any opportunity to blame Modi and his team. But thanks to social media and its power,
there will be a day when their models will be usurped and they will bite dust.
Right now only matter of concern is
draught management, growth, inflation and development. We have a great
opportunity especially after China crisis to emerge, evolve. Reforms have to
happen but anti-nationals won't allow. Only if there is growth it reached last
man in pyramid and not because of wasteful subsidies. Nobel prize should be
taken back for those who have argued otherwise. i know it's a joke as a
statement coming from someone as un scholar as yours truly but how many times
one has to bang ones head against left thought which has ruined the world. When
rich Arab nations reject refuges welfare economies in Europe have left
orientation even now to share the burden. Is oil so important or we have big
failure in western liberalism.
Rains have played truant
here and we wish this year's festivities
will be in observance of same. Did few ventures to help those affected. On
personal side lot things happening thus hiatus on this forum but hope last quarter is bit relaxed . This
is Ganesha time again and this blog started on eve of Ganesha festival in 08 so
now completes 7 years . And its itching to do more, write more and better as
compared to pedestrian stuff earlier. Happy Ganesha Chaturthi
And on lighter note, as title of
this post is based on sequel of much loved film let me Welcome back Lord Ganesha. The movie
was hilarious with one liners and acting of stars like Nana, AK, Paresh Rawal
and Naseer. No plot no story but entertainment . Chemistry of Anil and nana is
what director wanted , portrayed and was smash hit. Antakshari with ghosts will
be cult scene for ages.
Pls remove all obstacles
Vighnaharta, again Welcome back
