2 Moustachians & A Tale Of ICC Champions Trophy Win !!!

The scene was set right from the first 2 convincing wins in the warm-up matches over Sri-lanka and the Aussies.

The same winning momentum was carried throughout in the entire tournament and it remained unbroken for the Indian Team by winning all their 7 matches (2 Warm-up + 5 ICC CT's matches)!!!

Coming into the ICC Champions Trophy with the backdrop of IPL's notorious match fixing issue...though a strong team, Indians were never the favourite team to win the ICC Champions Trophy given the overseas conditions and mitigating the swing bowling.

Only people with high patience would have witnessed the actual victory of the Indians in this rain-curtailed 20 Over final.

Memorable features of this wonderful thriller would be:
1) The toss was made at 2.15 p.m.and the actual match started at 8.45 p.m. with 24 Overs each. Multiple rain interruptions finally converted the match into a T-20 match (with rules of 50 Overs applicable).

2) The Indian batting fire power couldn't fire as per the expectations and 1st time in 5 innings Shikhar Dhawan...with a magical come-back in the side was dismissed below 50 runs (on 31 runs). His inning included an eye-catching 'Upper cut' Sixer over 3rd man where he was mid-air when his bat met the ball.
He earned the 'Golden Bat Award' of the tournament for scoring a mammoth of 363 runs in just 5 innings at an average of 90.75 runs with a mind blowing strike-rate of 101. His last four innings included 2 centuries and 2 half centuries and what a comeback he has made..

  
3) At one point it looked that as if the shutters would be down for Indians below 100 runs when their half side was bundled for merely 70+ runs. Their middle order was not tested so far in their previous matches and that's what affected the downfall of quick wickets in the middle. 
However it was our new 'Mr.Dependable' Virat Kohli's 43 which steadied the ship towards a respectable total...he was well supported by latest Sir/Rockstar Ravinder Jadeja who remain unbeaten on 33 runs.
He deservingly earned the 'Player Of The Tournament Award' as well as the 'Golden Ball Award' for taking highest wickets in the series (12 wickets). His trade mark punching of left fist after taking a wicket was again seen when he took 2 crucial wickets in this match.

4) England after a shaky start was well on course for a comfortable victory...especially with a good partnership of 64 runs between Ravi Bopara and Eoin Morgan who brought the score to 110/4...its then came a mixed bag over from Ishant. I bet hell lot of bad words must have been flown from our mouth when he offered a loose delivery to Eoin Morgan who scored a 6 on that..then 2 wides followed by Eoin's wicket...and that was the turning point of the match.

5) With 15 to score in the last over, R.Ashwin ensured that we encarve our name for the 1st time on ICC Champions Trophy and add this only missing feather by winning all the major tournaments of ICC.

6) The entire Indian team looked totally different throughout their outing in this tournament. They played like overseas player with a proper technique which seemed to be missing for so many years...and nobody ever imagined that Indian team might play so well consistently in an entire tournament overseas....The fielding standards equally supported the good bowling. On the other hand, the major overseas team played like Asian teams :)

7) The celebration of Indian Players in the White Jacket was amazing...especially Virat's 'Worm Dance' and 'Gangnam Style'.

8) Not to forget the coolest Captain of Indian Team ever.....his quick stumpings and run-outs were marvellous. His super-cool attitude in critical situation itself fetches us many victories.

9) People will hardly believe that rain did allow a match to happen that concluded at 1.10 a.m. and including the presentation, it all ended around 1.45 a.m.

10) The 2 'Moustachmen' really need to be invested as their dream run of Cricket and all power and secrets of Cricket lies in those curly 'Moustache' is what it seems :-)

We might see the rest 8 Indian Players in their respective 'Cultivated versions' in the upcoming West Indies Series showcasing their 'M.P' (Moustache Power) !!!

Cheers To Team India and their 5 run victory in the ICC Champions Trophy !!!

" Rain Is So Socksy !!!"

We all know that most of the companies have 'Tie Relaxation' during summer season. In a similar way, I wish we had 'Socks Relaxation' too during rainy season.
 

By the time one reaches home from office or vice-versa totally soaked in rain, after doing various 'DID steps' to avoid the puddles and the mini-floods and remove the socks, we realize that our legs have grown more 'Older' than their owners !!!

In the name of corporate culture, we adopted many practices of foreign culture but forgot the basics of our health while running behind the wealth. In the current era of cost-cutting, the hand-driers are getting vanished from washrooms....it was the only avenue where the wet socks could be soaked a bit immediately if not fully dry before starting your work.

We don't have a provision of wires or ropes on which we can hang those wet socks in offices. Even if there would have been, it would have been against 'Corporate Etiquettes'. Moreover to hang them, all would have to wash them on daily basis to avoid 'Respiratory Casualties' of your fellow colleagues around you.

 

Tell me frankly...can we concentrate on our work with those wet socks and itching legs in our offices??? 

I am certainly not an 'Anti-rain Person' and love to roam in it...especially when there is a good company around to enjoy the rain and the beauty of the newly wed bride of nature. But yes, it certainly sucks to sit with those wet socks on at your workstation....or to take efforts to dry them to wear it again...as those are the only things which we can remove in office to make them dead dry !!!

 If not all, few 'Baal Mazoor' friends of mine will surely agree to this fact :)
 

Finally It Happened !!! (FB Status -12th March - 2013)

(The below FB status was posted after the inception of my Blog.....)

After filling few notebooks, diaries, composing some mails, writing on Greeting Cards and 'Painting Walls' on Facebook, I thot it's time now to create my own 'Blog' (so that my Kids will atleast have something to be proud about their Dad ;) )

So here goes the Url of my Blog:
http://SaptaSurTheEnigma.blogspot.in/

Special thanks to people like Softy, Kaushik Sharma and Richa Bobade who always encouraged me during my adolescence era of Writing and praised my 'Kiddish Literature work' :-)

During later stages, Orkut and Facebook friends like Sneha Jain, Rama Jadhav, Prachi Wankhede, Archana Joshi, Onkar Alurkar, Mohsin Havaldar, Aruna Shettigar, Madhura Gadgil, Atul Bhandare, Dnyaneshwar Mustapure, Krutika Pednekar and Purandar Sh kept on encouraging me.

Also there is someone whom I have to mention .....from whom I took a 'Friendly Khunnas' and started my own Blog after inception of her Blog. Thank U Meghna Saxena...for taking my words seriously which in turn provoked me to start my own blog ;) This is termed as 'Mutual Benefit' :D
Your daily posts will keep me on my toes and force me to be in 'active mode' ;)

Apart from my old and latest poems, I would be posting my personal favourite FB Status composed by me, some thought provoking stuff which may spill over and anything which is not 'Size dependable' :)

@ Kaushya: Finally tujha aikla bara ka me !!! :D

'Bonsai' Ko Kaun Samjhaay !!! ( FB Status : 17th May-2013 )

Dear Lord,

Plz provide some sanity to those 'Stale Bu(r)ggers' before they perish away and goes into complete darkness someday.

People who fall under the category of "वासरात लंगडी गाय शहाणी" will never have the vision to appreciate innovation or accept any change as their dumb mind never dares to tread those roads which none saw.
So all the gyaan/feedback/guidance given to those 'Statue Of Liberties' go bouncer to those 'Bonsais' as their miniature brains are yet to grow inspite of warming the seat for years n years.

It's understandably very easy to ignore some innovation as blind ones won't ever see or realize its value and thus will provoke them to make fun behind someones back which clearly proves how daredevils they are....infact such cowards feel proud of making fun of somebody behind their back when in reality they are making fun of themseleves and their illiteracy campaign :)

We can't even pity them knowing their level and definition of 'Fun' ;(

A line very nicely describes such people:
"An idiot is a 'Genius' to another idiot" :D .........

And that leads to 'ICF' = Idiot Community Foundation :P

Nobody ever claims that he/she is best....its just that an adamant jerk or a useless Bulldog tries to hide his lack of knowledge under silly excuses and lives under such illusion...and when he/she gets support from genetically identical mutants, then they dig their own grave more deeply forgetting the fact that when they will be getting buried in it, at that time none of those supporters would be around them to support them.

So lord, please forgive such 'Thumb Suckers' as they don't know what they are 'Sowing' :)

" Huzoor Ke Khajuur !!! " ( FB Status - 16th May -2013 )

Duniyame Khazuronki kami nahi hai.........

Aukaad bhalehi 5 paisonki ho par behaviour aisa ke khud Million $ Babys ho.

Nobody accept their own dumbness but are eagerly ready to do back-bitching for somebody else's smartness as they'll never reach to those heights ever.

And if accidently 'Power' prematurely goes in hands of such people then life is hell for those around them. They themselves can't 'Stand' on their own and are suddenly expected to make others 'Run'.

It's then when the 'Power-suppliers' realize that they have committed an 'Irreversible mistake' :)

Doing 'Temporary Patch-work' and thinking we did the smartest thing in the World is 2dez mantra among Ppl. Pathetic thing is Ppl bliv that by doing so they become the idols and heart-throbs among the Ppl and would always be appreciated for their heroics which is totally insane.

A proper-valid 'feedback' is a total waste for such miscreants as their egoistic nature never allow the good things to penetrate into them.

Their gradual decay by small-small blunders will surely lead them towards Dooms Day.

50% fault is of those 'Feeders' who feed in all the garbage to those 'Self-inflated Balloons' when they have a real chance to change those Khazurs.

May god help such 'Self-destructive Weapons' and show them a proper path before they fell into a deep ditch from where their 'Feeders' also can't bring them up !!!

FB status update: 23rd April-2013

Shane Watson......Why the hell did U make that 61 ball century?????

It gave 'Khunnas' to the most eligible Centurymaker of T20 history Mr. Christopher Gayle who came up with an unbelievable blistering knock of 175 in just 66 balls.

When 'Gaylism' is in progress, there is no room for the word 'Mercy'.

I pity those balls which flew away 119m, 114m, 112m 109m, 104m from Gayle's hammer...few ones never to be seen again on Cricketing field !!!

I watched very few IPL matches this season and boy, what an inning that was by Chris Gayle....17 Sixes and 13 fours with a strike-rate of 265....

Records tumbling.....
*Highest score by an individual in all T20 games of all formats.
* Highest ever score of 263/5 in a T20 match of all formats.
* Most number of 6s (17*6s) to be hit in an innings by a batsman.
* Most number of sixes hit by a side in an innings = 21 6s (Gayle = 17, ABD = 3, Virat = 1).
* Highest opening stand in IPL of 167 between Gayle and Dilshan.
* Gayle crossing 150 sixes in T20 and takes his overall tally of sixes to 163. The next person followed by him is Suresh Raina who has hit 99 sixes :)
* Gayle grabbing that Orange Cap from Virat and yet again becomes the leading run scorer in the current IPL. He has maintained a 100+ gap of runs from Virat and surely be the final winner of Orange Cap.

Memorable moments:
1) Gayle scores his 50 in 17 balls and reaches his next 50 in just 13 balls.
2) 2 Banners from the audiences:
a) Welcome to "Ben-Gayle-uru".
b) When Gayle bats, then Fielders = Spectators and Spectators = Fielders.
Gavaskar rightly said while commenting that there shud be some kind of award for such innovative banners amongst the audience.
3) Virat and entire RCB team taking a bow for the hard hitting performance of Gayle.
4) Entire Pune Warriors team congratulating Gayle (for pushing them to the bottom of the table) for his magical knock....especially Yuvi grabbing his bat jokingly after the 1st innings....we need to seriously examine that bat as a mis-hit was also fetching him atleast a 4 if not a 6 :D

Spectators need to be insured henceforth or shud be given compulsory helmets to wear which are more powerful than Gayle's hard hitting shots ;)

The 1st innings itself was so mesmerizing that I didn't even feel the need to see the desparing performance of Pune Warriors in the 2nd innings of the match.

Virender Seh-'Waagh', 'Wat-son', will all look like Sons when their Papa Gayle is on fire....
