VOICES OF INDIAN CELEBRITIES IN NEW ZEALAND.

                  Well really this Indian outfit is a gem.Every player is aware of his role.Every body is contributing  for the cause of team & nation hence the result is also fruitful.The massacre of Sachin or the butchering of Sehwag is the testimony of this great Indian batting line up.

                   Sachin was obviously very happy after the inning of 163 of 133 balls.He would have scored the double had his injury not troubled him.Nevertheless Sachin showed why he is master blaster.He said that he was very happy for his contribution towards the team.It gives great happiness when the nation wins.Sachin said,”I care to play for the country”.Really the man is a great player, great human being & aboveall great patriot & a great son of mother India.We all & even mother India is proud of Sachin.

                Sehwag is a player who can destroy any attack ruthlessly. The opponents are horrified when this Sultan of Multan &  Nawab of Najabhgarh comes to the crease.He can tear the opponents apart right from the word ‘go’. Sehwag said,”If  I give a blistering start to the team then the middle order can very well execute & finish the job”. Sehwag was very happy that he played a belligerent knock on the day of  HOLI. Sehwag said,” Its the day of holi & here in N Z we also played the holi on the field & off the field with great passion.I really wish every Indian a very happy holi”.Really when Sehwag bats one can celebrate festivals like holi & diwali together.

               Bollywood actress madam Zinta was also in N Z.She was invited by the Premier of N Z. Madam Zinta voiced her opinion,”Now  Iam very much fascinated by cricket.Coming to N Z was great I had chat with Yuvraj,Dhoni & some others.One thing I must admit that it was black day for world cricket when terrorists attacked the SriLankan team.I pray to the ALMIGHTY for the well being of every body”. Reacting about her role in IPL she said,” Iam very happy to be part of IPL & owner of  one of the teams in IPL”. So thats madam Zinta for you.

             Indians are very happy  about their performance in NZ & are also worried about the attack on SriLankan cricketers.This is India, happy about one’s own performance but feels about others agonies also.Now thats what  you call the great Indian spirit.Long live India & its spirited citizens.

Its The Tornedo Tendulkar.

                  India posted  a mammoth total today against New Zealand in this one day international.The speciality of this Indian team is that some or other  player is firing up & contibuting for the team.Todat I think the onus was on Tendulkar or should I say tendulkar took the onus on his own & devastated the New Zealand  attack.Its not that I have belittled others contribution but that Master Blaster is truly a clinical Blaster.When Tendulkar plays a straight drive off the back foot, he doesn’t put much effort into it but the ball races to the boundary line like a rocket.So effortless yet so perfect.Only a Tendulkar can do this, no doubt about that.

                  Today’s batting is a testimony of the fact that the great warrior from “Aamchi Mumbai” or in a broader way “Aapla Maharashtra”  or exactly “Hamara Bharat” can even today win battles single handedly.Every cricketing nations,Beware! Its very rightly said that the form is temporary but the class is permanent.I think this vision statement of cricket is not properly understood by every body which is a sorry plight for the nation.We Indians enjoy criticizing a great personality & in the process think that we have achieve some thing. The people who are gunning for Sachin’s head are those who have never held the bat even at the district level.But they enjoy teaching him the basics of batting sitting in the raw comforts of their drawing rooms. Actually no cricketer worth his salt, who has played cricket at some recognised competitive level, who understands the agonies & ecstasies of the game, who knows what it means to have a career average of  higher fifties in tests & 40 +  in one dayers uptill now in the past 19 years of international cricket, will ever criticize a person with such great Himalayan flair. Indians always recognises an Indian only when he is praised by foreigners. Pata nahin gori chamadi se kab tak prabhavit hote rahenge woh to ghans bhi nahi dalte,sirf apna matlab saadhate hain.

                  Bharatwaasion jago, ek Bhartiya ki khule dil se taarif karana seekho.Shaayad aaj Sachin ne dikha diya ki woh cricket ke BHAGWAN kyon hai. Jo bhi kahen soch samajhkar. Lean patch comes in every body’s life that doesn’t mean that things are over.On the contrary, that person is great who bounces back inspite of all odds.How many people have this type of guts & patience? So before critcizing first look into yourself. Really I remember what great Sunil Gavaskar once said that those who are not eligible enough to tie the shoelaces of Sachin Tendulkar teach him how to bat? Very absurd, very ridiculous. So India try to recognise the gem be the first one to praise it & understand his value. Apne ratna ko pehchano BHARAT, apne ratna ko pehchano.

Nikam & other dignitaries of women cricket when they were in Bhilai recently for Sr. national women championship.Here are the excerpts. :-

           ABHAY SUDHAKAR : Nutan madam namaskar, Iam feeling very happy from within to meet you in person.Thanks for the time given to me. Madam I would like to know  when the association was started.

           NUTAN NATU : Namaskar Abhay,  The Women Cricket Association of India was started in 1973.Its objective was to prove the women power & that women can also perform exceedingly well in cricket or in any other  sport  for that matter.

            ABHAY SUDHAKAR : Please name some of the star women cricketers.

            NUTAN NATU : Dyna Eduljee, Shubhangi Kulkarni, Sandhya Agrawal, Anju Jain, Anjum Chopra, Mithali Raj & a host of others.With due respect to all those who have played for the nation I have mentioned a few names above.

              ABHAY SUDHAKAR : Please tell some thing more about association & its activities.

               NUTAN NATU : Well, WCAI is registered with the sports ministry.But unlike male cricketers, female cricketers are amateurs.The national championship is an annual event.Then we have the Rani Jhansi inter-zonal tournament which is also an annual event. We have the nationals for U-19 & sub-junior level also.We have Indira Priyadarshini  50 overs a side championship also. Now, very latest we have announced  20-20  championship & this will be an annual event.Winner & runners-up of each zone will take part in this competition.It will be named as Chiman Bhai Patel trophy.

In case of Chiman Bhai Patel trophy I would like to say that first tournament will be held in Gujarat.

            ABHAY SUDHAKAR : Thanks madam for the information.Well Nutan madam what are the future plans?

             NUTAN NATU : Definitely we are committed for the development of this game for girls.We will leave no stone unturned in achieving our cherished objectives.Well Abhay one thing I must point out  & that is the attitude of BCCI  is not very acceptable to us.We want the merger with BCCI in a very proper way.They have formed a women wing which is not at all acceptable to us.Respected merger & NOT take-over should be the bottom line.I dont know why ICC is not intervening  in this matter.I hope BCCI being  an elderly parent understands our sentiments.

           ABHAY SUDHAKAR : Well madam I hope you realise your dreams & have an amicable merger with BCCI  which will be good for every body.Thanks for your precious time given.

           NUTAN NATU : Thanks Abhay. It was great interacting with you & may GOD bless you with great successs in all your future enndeavours. Best wishes from all of us present here to you & to the readers of  your blog-site all over the world.Thank you.

    ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Gautam Sir, namaskar, please tell us about your early life,schooling etc.

   GAUTAM NAG :- Namaskar Abhay, I would like to tell you that I was born in Orissa in a place called Cuttuck on 19th june 1956.My schooling took place in Stuart school.I took up cricket by choice & passion for the game during the school days itself.My uncle played cricket & he was my inspiration.My younger brother & cousin also played cricket.I represented Orissa schools,East Zone schools,played in Cooch Behar Trophy as well as C.K. Nayudu Trophy for Orissa state.Then I was in Raven Shaw College under the auspices of Utkal University.I did my B.Com from there.

    ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Sir please tell us about your journey as a cricketer & who were your cricketing idols?

    GAUTAM NAG :- As I went onto become wicket-keeper batsman,very naturally my idols were Rodney Marsh, Syed Kirmani & especially the great Sunil Gavaskar,one of the great batsmen to have graced the game. I started my Ranji career against Assam in 1976-77.My memorable game was against Bengal in 1982-83. I was the proud member of Orissa team which qualified for knock-out stage for the first time.I represented east zone, played in the Deodhar trophy  & Duleep trophy.

   ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Tell us about your most memorable moment of life as a cricketer.

   GAUTAM NAG :- Interaction with Gordon Greenidge on various aspects of the game & West Indies cricket.I have played against West Indies in 1979 & 1983 when west indies came to India under Alvin Kalicharan & Clive Llyod respectively. Even Clive Llyod spoke very highly of Gordon Greenidge.

  ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Tell us about your activites after your playing days.

   GAUTAM NAG :- I was selector of Orissa from 1991. I was chief selector of Orissa from 1999 for four years. I was the talent research development officer of BCCI east zone for three years.I was match observer for ranji trophy matches.I was coach cum manager of east zone in1993 season.During my tenure east zone was Deodhar trophy champions & Duleep trophy runners up.I really feel proud to have served the glorious game in some capacities.I got the oppurtunity to closely monitor the career of lot of buddding talented cricketers.This in itself was a great experience.

   ABHAY SUDHAKAR:- Who is the best captain the game has seen & which Indian cricketer is you favourite?

   ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Sir one question without which any interview on cricket is incomplete & that is  opinion on Sachin Tendulkar.

   GAUTAM NAG :- He is the greatest icon of the nation. I happened to be his local manager when he came to Rourkela in 1991 for a Duleep trophy game.I discovered that Sachin eats cricket drinks cricket & talks cricket & sleeps cricket.GOD send him on earth to play cricket & we are lucky he took birth in India.As a cricketer marvellous & as a human being very down to earth,wonderful.

   ABHAY SUDHAKAR :- Well now please tell us about your self & your future plans?

SAIL organises & fund the tournament.State associations send their teams in the competition.In future we want that more teams should participate & extract the benefits.We are thinking to conduct the tournament in october first week in Bhilai & not in february but it was observed that on most of the  ocassions the weather hasnt been conducive in the month of october.

ECONOMIC SPIDER-WEB

                    The entire world is at present trapped in economic spider-web.Every body is quite discouraged by the current scenario & want to happily come out of it.But practically things are not so easy. One has to work out very rationally because in money matters, most of the times, emotions can be damaging.One has to be patient & mentally very strong & very optimistic to come out of  the lean patch, which is a part of every body’s life.

                    First thing that one must do is that stop bothering on seeing the ups & downs  in the market.Well the market is also governed by the law of nature that  the thing which goes up has to come down & then again it has to come up.The reasons for coming down & going up can be any thing : political instability, bad results from the best company, global recession, suddenly some very positive factor out of the blue etc.Its very important that one observes the market very rationally & tries to learn about the periodicity of the cycle so that one can plan the investments accordingly.One should also be well versed about the impact of economic policies on a particular company or a produce.Well apart from all the studies one underlying principle of the market is to be always kept in mind & that is : Expect the Unexpected.Any one following this principle is mentally tough & stands the chance of coming out of spider-web.

                  Second thing is that one shouldnt be greedy.Always fix a margin of profit for oneself , say 20% or whatever & once you attain it then book the profit immidiately.If a person is strict,honest & sincere with himself & practically honours his financial calculations then he stands a better chance of coming out in flying colours even in troubled markets.

                 Third & the most important thing especially during recession is : limit your expenses.Apply break on your spendings.One must always remember that a small hole in a big ship can sink it. Plug your smaller spendings. On the contrary encourage yourself for smaller savings.There is one proverb in our dearest language hindi, “choti bachat maha bachat”.Always encourage the thought of savings to become word & action.

               So if a person does smart work rather than just hard work then he stands a better chance of coming out of the economic spider-web in flying colours.

INDIA BEHAVING LIKE A BREAST FEEDING BABY……

                  A breast feeding baby say four to five months old definitely depends upon the mother for any thing & every thing.But gradually when it starts getting older it tries lot of things on its own.Finally when the baby attains the age of maturity then it takes decision of its own on the basis of its discriminating intelligence.The baby shows sign of maturity.

                  India has completed exactly sixty one years of independence but it still shows dependency on United States,why? GOD knows….. Why India looks upto America to punish Pakistan? Is India still waiting for proofs? Well lot of things are pooh-poohing themselves that Pakistan is THE culprit.One must not waste time in punishing Pakistan. If some body is entering into our house without permission & then killing us Then I dont think we should look upto any body or take permission from any body to punish that culprit.Its our right to safe guard our people.

                I think mere planning & talking in strong words wont solve the purpose,one has to adopt strong measures practically to punish the culprit.After all the blood of my fellow countrymen is not so cheap that we would let go the culprits without teaching them the lessons in the language they understand the best. Its high time that India behaves as a sixty one year old matured & not like a dependent & breast feeding baby.

Giri hui cheej…….

                   

                  Ek bar bazaar mein ek ladka jab hath se giri chocolate utha raha tha to uske papa bole,”beta neeche giri hui cheej nahi uthate.” Ek baar sadak par tahalte waqt achanak uski mummy gir gayee to papa bole,”beta jara madad karo apni mummy ko uthao”.Beta bola,”Papa apne hi to kaha tha ki giri hui cheej nahi uthate.”
