T20

With the T20 championship underway , every Indian including me is expecting dhoni to lift the trophy again....Commentory debutant Dada has written in "The Hindu" that he is backing india for a berth in final.... On the other hand The Netherlands captain smits has said yesterday that he is looking forward to finals......


In this format both can or cannot happen....


The first few days of the competition itself had seen a lot of drama with symmo turning indisciplined once again thereby putting a potential fullstop to his own cricketing career, the appearance of the entire indian team for the press meet showing that they are united(really?!),and cancellation of the opening ceremony , and an unexpected result in the opening match itself.....



In many ways this edition will be more interesting than the inaugural edition,with no clear favorites and nearly 6 teams of equal strength,its upto the minnows to upset the party.....


Though it is very risky to guess in a T20 tourament , I cant stop myselves from predicting...


My bet for the semis are the promising indians under dhoni, the determined South Africans under smith, the attacking kiwis under Vettori and a rejuvenated lankans under sanga..... i am not ruling out pakistan or windies but lanka has a better chance to be in the last four.... I may be proved wrong for writing off the aussies but I strongly feel that they are comin without hayden,gilli nad symmo....so its very much unlikely that aussies will take the honours.......a miraculous form should be exhibited by marsh,watson,husseys and johnson along with the captain and his deputy to win the tournament....but i feel thats highly unlikely......


This would be the best chance for South Africa which missed out the semis narrowly last year and also for Newzealand to seal their first world crown....... but lets see......it may be smith or even smits...lets wait till june 21....


THORANAI

Watch out ananda vikatan for the best review of the movie ......
But I feel puratchithalapathi is trying to imitate ilayathalapathi as everyone would have felt.... But ultimately he fails....
Though santhanam - mayilsami combo make us to laugh at sometimes ,mostly it turns out to be an overdose....... with santhanam employing "double meaning" words as usual....... vishal needs to do something atleast in the next film to satisfy his fans......

The promising young hero with a possibly huge latent talent must be careful in choosing the stories for next time atleast.....
MORALS OF THORANAI:-
1. shriya as heroine.. storyline will surely not be different , to say the least( hopin tat kandasamy would be an exception) .....
2.never go to a commercial tamil film until u r bored to death....
3.if at all u go,take ur mobile phones to theatre.....they may help u with games and messages

BORING HOLIDAYS

Its 20 days since my holidays began and now i am looking forward for my college to reopen.....But still 30 days left for it.....The absence of my friends did hurt me a lot and these holidays are the most , most boring holidays .... I have tried everything these holidays right from studying(!) to sleeping..... but no way..... the hands of the clock behave as if they are acting in a fevicol ad......the people who save me are my grandparents... they engage me to some extent ...... i will get most of my friends back in this steel city by this week.... but again my ill fate i have got all my domestic assignments this week.... this feels like watching all the knockout matches of a grandslam and not watching the finals....... oops! its all in the game again..... let these boring and useless holidays pass by sooner rather than later....

LESSONS TO BE LEARNT

From shravan kumar & co in australia i have to learn the following things
Indians are not respected abroad as a common middle class indian think......
Indians will unite only in times of crisis
I should not go to Australia and should drop my life time ambition of watching a match in scg
All carreer guidance experts who recommended australian universities should go on a holiday now to save themselves from public wrath
