Team India - just win it ....


the pakistan tour started and ended and Me paresh kerkar being an ardent cricket follower didnt write a word on this tour , i mean its the gretest rivalry in sports India VS Pakistan and i didnt do any thing and why you all will ask ......

well firstly the test series between the two teams pissed me off , the first two tests played between the two teams was a cure for insomnia where any one could bat with his one hand tied behind the back the third which was like a one off test was won by pakistan because india screwed up and gifting the test series to pakistan 1-0

the oneday internationals started with a bang where we saw the real diffrence where the men in blues really stood out and stamped thier authority winning the series 4-1

it was too good to be true where the indian team is known as chokers while chasing totals they were finishing of games with overs to spare with wickets in hand

the players who stood out from this entire series were

yuvraj singh - he has come of age and is the mainstay of indian batting richly deserving man of the series award (no second thoughts at all)

mahendra singh dhoni - its no more gilchrist , because its only DHONI the finisher

R P singh - a great find and one for the future

sreesanth - this kerala boy has big heart and is surely going to play for some time

rahul dravid - as a captain and a leader

sachin tendulkar - he is back

fielding - it was amazing suresh raina,yuvraj singh ,mohammad kaif, and all the players

it was a total team effort to come back from the loss of the test series and give a wacking to pakistan in the one day series
a truly amazing preformance

well with the new sponsers NIKE i think the nike tag line which was "just do it " has been changed to "just win it....."

so on that winning note.....

TV - SIMPLICITY LOST

I was just sitiing that day nothing to do ,so was just runnig through all the cannels i have on my tv which my cable guy provides me.
well with most of the channels i browsed through hindi,english,marathi,bengali,south indian, all those channels .

the most striking thing abt all these channels were that all of them had some or the other serials running on them , i mean all those tear eyed, heavy drama,bathed in make up actors,no story line......... dailies . or those made to belive reality shows where every thing is rigged

these programs dont have a social message nor do they look good ,they are just a heavy dose of stress... and viewers love them ... its really amazing to see that viewers would not like any stress from thier family ,but wouldnt mind a shot of stress from all theses programs

but the most important thing to be noted is that these programs on our so called tv have lost that important thing know as SIMPLICITY

i just remeberd some of the serials i used to watch as a kid or in my growing years when there were a just a few handful of channels which showed some really amazing stuff

some of the programs which i may mention must have been watched by most of you

BUNIYAD....
indias first tele serial which hit big time ,but the most important thing abt this serial was it had a great story line ,some amazing actors and above all it was simple ,no buckets of makeup or weird camera angles and editing techniques (it was family drama) , it was my parents who used to watch this more than me but i think they really enjoy it more than the crap they dish out now on the idiot box

DETECTIVE KARAMCHAND
who can forget the carrot munching detective and his assistant known as kitty, well they were one hell of a pair who were a riot on screen with the way they solved those funny mystries
this was one unforgettful serial

MALGUDI DAYS
probably the most finest tv serial made for children and for all on INDIAN TELEVISION
the adaptation of RK NARAYAN 'S malgudi days and swami and friends was a classic
till date on indian televison i am trying to see something which can match this classic made for children....

NUKKAD
the best serial according to me ever made on indian television.. you would ask why because it showed the lives of simple people in a very simple but an entertainig way. i think we can still relate to it . because somewhere in that serial we can find us or some of our situatuions ...
this is surely a classic

there must be other programs(shanti,commandar,vikaram aur betaal etc) too which were great during that time but these are the few which i remember as i watched them

when i see tv today i just try to remember these and say well we had watched some classics and not some crap what they show nowadays

so till then

remebering the classics for thier SIMPLICITY

simply...

kulfiwala...

well a amol and me were waiting for surjeet outside his house.
knowing surjeet we knew he ws going to take his own sweet time...

beside us was a kulfiwala (not the guy who has his hand cart) but the guy who carries kulfies in a bucket full of ice,and walks along the street shouting kulfi..yo.
so we took 2 kulfies 5 Rs a piece

well we had nothing to do so we struck a conversation with the kulfiwala
well what he said was really facinating
we asked him abt how many kulfis he carries per day
and he gave us the details
7rs kulfi around 10 to 15 sticks
5rs kulfi around 30 to 40 sticks
3rs kulfi around 100 to 120 sticks

he tolds us abt his daily routine too
he gets up in the ealy morning around at 5:30 goes to the tabela and gets milk
then he starts preparing the kulfi with ingriedients
then he makes the sticks for the kulfi
then he freezes the kulfi
in the evening 4 he starts his daily rounds around the streets cloe to his house selling it
he does this till 12 in the night then goes home cleans all the kulfi cones and then has his dinner and calls it a day

he also tolds us abt his profit which wasnt much and said that a few years before was much better than now

he told us abt his family which consisted abt his mother a sister and his wife and a few other relatives who stayed with him

he said he stayed in the slum rehabitalation buildings built by the goverment.

well told us abt his native place which is close to pune . and how he and his family visits it once in a year in december for Datta jayanti

he said his age was 26 years running,he has been selling kulfis for the pas 19 years
and he is a 12 th (H.S.C) pass with 68%...
well talking to SITARAM, didnt i tell you what his name was,
he said people called him RAJU .....
well i think even with all the hardships he faces on day to day bases he tries to be happy in the goal to earn more and maybe fullfil those dreams he has

well it was an real nice experince knowing abt him... i hope i could meet him and have another kulfi from him
by the way the kulfi was really good

till then

with a very kulfi experince
