Bed Bugs:Threat or Menance.....

NewsMaker of the year 2011: M.S. Dhoni

Unlike other greats, Dhoni doesn't have the technical efficiency or elegance or panache that makes cricket folklore but somehow he transcends all boundaries and makes himself a hero to the common man. He seldom makes batting look good but his helicopter shot makes even the connoisseur of the game make an exception and applaud.
Despite all his inadequacies, Dhoni ended India's 28-year-long wait for a World Cup win and led the team to world's No. 1 Test status. What makes Dhoni click seems to defy logic but what makes him a hero to millions makes more sense - he hails from a small-town with modest means and unlike other success stories, Dhoni has shown that anyone can make it big with hard work. He gives the small town enthusiasts the belief and confidence to dream big.

This year Time magazine named Dhoni in its list of 100 most influential people in the world. Time's description of Dhoni was penned by Chetan Bhagat, saying:
"As astonishing as Dhoni's talent is his background. Indian success stories are usually associated with pedigree, connections and power. Dhoni, from a small-town family of modest means, had none of these, but he's shown India that you can make it with only one thing: excellence. Dhoni doesn't just lead a cricket team; he's also India's captain of hope. And he didn't just win India the World Cup; he also taught India how to win."

Missing!!!!!!

Sometimes we get a gut feeling,but we don't know what exactly does it means.
We try to speak out something,but don't get the words to express ourselves.
We do try to emulate someone,but it still doesn't work out.
We do witness some illusion,but cann't sort out what exactly they points out.
We do say something,but we means exactly the opposite.
It does happen that we say something,but then get confused why we said so,and confuse ourselves what exactly we meant by that.
It does happen that we need some backup at times,but it does feel bad when we don't get that at such crucial times.
Life is nothing but a game,showing up new players every now and then.It keeps on changing all the times.From the time we are born,we comes across new people,make new friends and witness new moments.
I still remember the first day when I went to school,and got a new bunch of classmates.We fought very badly for a small chocolate,and used to get angry when one gets the bigger bunch of share than the other.But it does felt great,when the other person exchange his share,and both agreed finally on sharing it equally.Similarly,the time when someone cheers up for you,getting happy for you and be there in your misery always motivates you to do well.
But it is actually ephemeral.Life keeps on changing with time and people do change with their changing priorities.But is it right?Why cann't we always remain the same?
Darwin's Theory of adapting with the change has always been significant.But this strange feeling of missing something has always been a nightmare from the very childhood.Actually I don't know,what does it actually means.But this feeling has been the same..........

Revolution 2020

Just completed Revolution 2020.Heard some bad reviews about the novel earlier,but I actually liked this.The good thing about Chetan Bhagat is that his writings involves no fantasies and one can connect the writings to his life.Just getting a strange feeling after completing it.Life is really puzzling at times and we don't have answers to it every time.Every person has a good and a bad soul in himself.What matter's is which part is going to win and it will ultimately determine the fate.Is Gopal a bad person or the situations have made him the same?If Arti's stand in dilemma has been right?If Raghav can ever bring the revolution in a country having so many Shukla Ji's?These are some of the questions that will bother you through the novel.The end has been surprising but it could not have been better.Gopal has been the most influencing character but he never got his destiny.It's a story covering intellect,luck,fame,love,dream and destiny.At some places,the plots have lost their sheen, but Chetan Bhagat brought the story back in the plots as soon as you might get offended.So this one is a worth reading.

Luck,dream or destiny.

We met and it was a chance,
I saw her first hoping she would have looked me back.


I thought her to be shy and busy with her life,
but the first impression is not always right.


She was talking and I was listening,
I loved to listen and listen and listen,
I also started my chat with the kid at my back,
It was good,things seemed to have changed.


Then one fine day,I asked her for a tea,
she replied me back in assertion,
and it was great.


She was good,she was comely,
I was a good kid and it was sweet.
We loved to talk and enjoyed our walk,
Everything was good,things were fine.
It's always good, to have a friend,
who is there in your misery
and is always ready to help.


But luck has its own plan,
I had to move on.
But she was already a special person,
whom I respected a lot,
but never missed a chance to make her laugh.


From now on we regularly talked
and went for some casual walks.
This was really good,as we celebrated a lot.
I told her everything with my life,
she was my best friend,
whom I trust a lot.


She had some problems,everyone has his life,
I behaved a bit immature,but soon realized that I was wrong.


We again became very good friends,
and again luck had come to my side.
Had some real good moments in my life,
not sure whether it was some magical force that came back again my side.


Whenever I listen to some good music,
she is the first person who comes to my mind.
Don't know what is my destiny,
and what luck has put up for me.
But she has been the most lucky and charming person,
who actually came to my life.


So much help,so much advice,
So many good moments and so much fun.
Will never want to loose her,
even as a good friend.


Now after some time,when things are going pretty smooth,
looking at the luck,dream or destiny,
really puzzled what luck has put up in store for me,
and will I able to get my dream or destiny.


But one thing is for sure,
that I want her to be happy
and she also wants the same.
Just want to let the things to go,
the way they are going.


Is it a really big deal,
or will I always be a small kid,who don't want to grow up.


Hoping to be with her,as a good friend forever.
Just hoping that my luck also wants the same.
