The beginning of the end!!

The day began with a bang when i suddenly woke up realising that whatever that happened was just a dream. Let me not elaborate on that dream because i just dont feel like doing it now here. Then i did *myroutine and then called up the station inspector to ask whether my case was up on court and what time i had to come to the court.

That idiot gave one dumb reason and told i need not appear in court so what i did was to go and spend my evening playing cricket. The weather was awesome , cloudy and windy but there was no rain, perfect weather for evening of cricket.

My mood was in a way such that i wanted to attack all the balls. It is very unlike me because usually ill defend 2 or 3 balls, judging the pitch of the ball and the bowler before going for my shots. But today i wanted to attack from the first ball. It worked well as i was able to make the bat and ball meet to perfection but unfortunately i didnt last long.

The our usualy gang we played the "2 wicket" cricket match where i was paired with the great vishwanath and the first match we made a competitive total of 14 in 2 overs and managed to draw with the team comprising of laxman and water and beating ganesh prabu and ajay.

The final match was kinda dull as bad light appeared and we were just playing for formality sake and as expected lost that match comprehensively.

After that i had a long ride back home in the heavy traffic and now while writing this post i forgot that ive to put petrol for my bike!!!

Thats about for the day, nothing interesting but most importantly ive grown by a day today :)

*myroutine - brushing, washing up, coffee, newspaper

A day in Court!

Performed *myroutine and went to put petrol for my bike as i had forgotten yesterday. I went to court today and I felt really uncomfortable for some reason mainly because of the fact that I was facing everything for doing nothing wrong and the thought of life being cruel sometime just made me feel bad.

I took it positively and even though it has been really troublesome, an invaluable experience I had gained through this and to come out of this successfully made me feel really proud of myself because not many would be able to handle it all alone. The count of me coming through a tough time in life just got increased by one and definably it had made be stronger and bolder to face any situations that is to come.

Then I went to play cricket as usual with my college mates. We had 2 games of individual cricket. I won the first match by 2 runs :P. When i get the TCS call I will definitely be missing the evening sessions I've been having for the past 2 months.

Thats about it for today. :)

One of my many sweethearts!!

Deepika Padukone is an Indian supermodel turned actress who appears in Bollywood movies. After pursuing a successful career in modeling, she branched out into acting. She started by starring in the music video for the song Naam Hai Tera from the independent pop album Aap Kaa Surroor by Himesh Reshammiya.

In 2006, she made her cinema debut in the Kannada film, Aishwarya staring along with actor Upendra. She later made a successful Bollywood debut in 2007 with Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om opposite Shahrukh Khan.

The film went on to become the biggest hit of the year, both in India and abroad. The film featured her portraying Shantipriya - a 1970s superstar, and later as sandy - a young woman who looks exactly like Shantipriya. Her performance was well received, earning the actress a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award as well as her first Filmfare Best Actress nomination. Taran Adarsh from indiaFM noted, "Deepika has all it takes to be a top star -- the personality, the looks and yes, she's supremely talented too. Standing in the same frame as SRK and getting it right is no small achievement. She comes as a whiff of fresh air!"

Rohit to the rescue!!

Rohit Sharma is one of the growing Indian cricketer. Sharma is a right-handed middle-order batsman and an occasional right-arm offbreak bowler.

Having started his international playing career at the age of 20, Sharma quickly exhibited his athletic fielding and cool temperament to compliment his solid batting technique. Many analysts to be a permanent fixture on the Indian cricket team peg him. Sharma eventually made his mark at the international stage on 20 September 2007, when he lead India to victory by scoring an unbeaten 50 (which came off 40 deliveries) against South Africa in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20.

The win reserved India a berth in the semifinals of the tournament. At one stage India was 61-4, but his partnership of 85 runs with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni helped India to post a total of 153-5. He was eventually declared Man of the Match. Sharma then proceeded to score 30 runs off 16 balls in the final against Pakistan. Sharma scored his maiden ODI half-century against Pakistan, at Jaipur on 18 November 2007 and was selected as part of India's 16-man squad for the CB series in Australia. Here, he scored 235 runs at an average of 33.57 with 2 fifties, including his score of 66 in the 1st final at Sydney.
