When the world shall cease to exist
and I will look for a hand for support
Will you be there?
When I would've given up all hope
and survival would be tough
Will you be there?
When I would've lost all faith in love
and would want to end my life with you beside me
Will you be there?
When I would like to see you for the last time
and seal the last bit of time together
Will you be there?
When I will ask for one special moment from GOD
and hope to spend it with you on this earth
Will you be there?
When life is about to end
and all I can see would be you
Will you be there?
When I want to marry you
and spend my life with you
Will you be there?
When I ask for some time with you
and instead end up spending an entire lifetime
Will you be there?

Another spineless performance! - 16th Feb-08- Ind v/s Aus - 152 /10 - 203/9!
Can't believe it has happened again. I mean it is only India which can do such a thing but i wasn't expecting something like this from this particular team.
a few things which baffle me, rather i wanna debate about with someone.
why send pathan at no.3 when you have uthappa who is itching to get there, hasn't had a good time yet, is out of touch a bit and needs some batting practice. not doubting pathan's skills as a batsman, but he is not as good as Uthappa that no one can argue about. Also, Uthappa is chosen more as a bastman, infact only as a batsman and pathan has a dual role. half of which was accomplished brilliantly. taking 4 wkts giving away 41 runs only.
anyway, this was one point second is why were they playing as if it was a 20 20 match. why was uthappa in such a hurry that even though we had about 12 overs to go he went for the attack.
weren't the tailenders told about the bonus point that Australia could get if India scores less than 162. i mean it wasn't that we were asking munaf patel and Sreseanth to score 40 in 12 balls!!! this was highly ridiculous. we just gave away a bonus pt which could prove crucial in the long run.
suddenly after the first win against the mighty aussies we have let them come back and this is not good . as they say when you have a champion team down you pull them further down and not let them get up.
India will pay for it. Dhoni getting out could ve been the turning point but the batsmen who got out before him have to be blamed for it.
Sachin was unlucky, Gambhir played a horrible shot especially because he was the man in form and had settled down with a 34 off 42 balls. next to go was Rohit sharma, a bad shot. still can be expected because he was still getting settled. yuvi, out of form scratched around for 44 balls scoring 26. Uthappa gave up too soon scoring 18 in 36. Pathan was just a waist getting 18 off 30.
if so many of ur batsmen fail on one day you cannot expect to win. Let's be frank here, we know that yuvi is not going thru the best of forms, and uthappa is out of touch, so we need to keep in mind their failures and as the law of averages works - Rohit had scored runs in the last match, so i wasn't expecting him to do it this time. gambhir had not done it since his century and since he was quite consistent in the Twenty20 i thought he would like to maintain it here and cement his place in the side. unfortunately he failed to live up to his expectation.
Did not expect this from dhoni's team. I thought he was a fighter and his team is one too, but this time they gave in too meekly. hope this does not happen again. Really have faith in these players and i believe they can achieve what lot of indian teams haven't in the past. !!!
Go Team India Go !!!!!!

I' ve been far from cricket. Cricket has never been far from me.
No matter how hard i try it has never happened.
right from the time i shifted to my new building when i was about 2 yrs old to my new office or rather my first office. Cricket has never been too far for me to not be able to reach it.
my first love and my longest relationship.
It's been the best friend I' ve ever had and certainly cherish this bonding.
When i had shifted to this new building in juhu, Juhu Griha Swapna, I was about 10-12 yrs old and was shy and found it very difficult to make friends or even talk to people. but cricket was the single factor that would connect me with the rest of the building people. Either knowing them by playing with them or by breaking somebody's window panes and then apologizing later or in some cases paying for the broken. window pane. i vividly remember breaking Mr. Lala's window panes very regularly and how he used to get troubled by us in the afternoons on all weekdays and early mornings on weekends. We used to hate him at times but now i feel he was still quite kind as he never stopped us from playing but would just get irritated. he's no more now and it's quite a tragedy that we troubled him a lot even in his last days.
back to the topic, after my first few years at this building we shifted to a new one which wasn't too far away. so i thought i would go back and play with my old mates. but that seldom happened and i made new 'cricket friends'. kids of all ages from around the area would come and pay with us. we had formed quite a big team and would often run into the adjoining ground and play over there.
ohh..how can i forget to mention the cricket we played when we were in school. especially in the 9th and 10th std. whenever we sued to get a free period we would rush to the ground and start playing there. this affair continued even after we left school. we would call up each other and all the juhu brats would meet up at the jamnabai grounds and have a fun time.
11th and 12th cricket was with akshay and me. yup! just the two of us meeting for a friendly bowl!...every second day we would be playing in my bldg compound..n improved our skills!! or so we thought!!
n then engineering had another 2 sets. one was when akshayand deep and bell would get done early from coll and second one would be when i would call up dhaval, alok, pratik and the rest to come and play.
then 2 yrs hence or guess abt 3 yrs later i stepped into xaviers. i thot now that i am entering in a set of ppl with totally different thinking and some who don't even have similar interests, this will be a difficult phase in my life. also coming up after a slight depression i was very circumspect.
but then as has happened all these years i found my buddy here too. altho it was just one, Mr.Desai was the sole saviour who instilled my faith in this new generation. i thot most would be the kind who love football and basketball and the likes but there were a few cricket lovers...fanatic if i must say.
saurbah and malay were my last hopes..but then the gang has since become bigger with nihal, saahil, pranav n a few others..
altho we hardly played during college just to have ppl who r interested in cricket was gud enuff. i could discuss and argue with them and debate on various issues. at times this would give me a lot of satisfaction.
n now in my new office...initially for the first 6-7 months i had completely lost touch, no body in off would play cricket...of course no one ever does!! and then ppl in the bldg too had stopped playing for some odd reason. so it was about time when i had started really missing it a lot. i was craving for a game and then in this bid called on some long lost friends from school and we had a match or two on one of the weekends. but that was it. 2 games and it was all done.
but here it was again, off ppl to the rescue. someone somewhere got this idea of playing underarm in the office parking lot during lunchtime. the best use of lunchtime breaks ever!!!
so there we are now a happy group of about 15 ppl who play cricket every day between 1:30 pm. to 2: 00 pm. . the match ends at 2:00 sharp so as to not bother the big heads in the company.
and cricket in the building is also on its comeback trail what with 16 players gathering yesterday and talks of having another nite cricket match like the one we had about 2 years back...
the cricket scene in my life has come back with a vengeance and am so happy!!
also my school bud yash is back, so here 's to a life full of cricket!! cheers
p.s. my gud frnd bax once asked me - " sid, if you were given the choice between cricket and sex, what would you choose?" - my look gave her the answer and i think she knew it too!!!

How long?
That is indeed a question that is not just in my mind but has been put in the mind's of some of my close ones.
before you jump to other conclusions let me clear it right away. i am talking about my work and study. Should i quit this job after a year and go try out some other media as my initial plan was and then work for another year and then plan my further studies or...the big OR !!...or...leave the job and look for courses India or abroad!!..
The dilemma doesn't end there..if abroad then where.UK..USA..Australia..all look quite tempting..and if quite to try out some other media then which one?..Radio..Production..Channel...what to do !!! Arghh....no one but I is the only one who can help me get out of this!
It is this 'Stuff' that i keep talking about!!....n lots more..
This how long can be actually used for a lot of my worries and fun aspects!!..hehehe
getting more ideas ...but I dn't wanna ruin my weekend n am leaving office now...!

Why can't I think the way I think when I am thinking?
What i am going to write is not as complex as the topic makes it sound. It is just what came to my mind when I was seeing a lot of the ads and some of the copy i wrote and suggestions made by colleagues.
As in i myself could ve written something similar, but for some odd reason i could not think in that manner. Also, I ve noticed that the way i think when am not at work and just with friends or something or when i am cracking jokes is quite different to the way i think when am at work.
it is exactly like the saying which ends with something like ' my brain stops working just when i reach the office' I somehow can't even think as to what the exact version was. I just feel a bit irritated today.
A bit of headache is trying to get the better of me.
I feel i have reached a certain level where certain things bother me and certain things don't.
Coming back to the topic, i want to explain it using an example. Like when someone uses a particular word like the other day a office colleague shouted out that cabbies r on a flash strike...n the first thought that came to my mind was flash the software..n i cracked a silly joke on that.
but when i am writing copy or basically just working i tend to think quite horizontally. I think on what the word really means and am not able to go beyond and explore other routes. Sometimes this comes in the way of my thinking and creative abilities.
Right now i have no solution for this nor do i know what to do from here on to get rid of this.

In the making
In the making is a bundle of joy,
In the making is a precious toy.
It took a while coming,
but when it did, took us all by surprise.
Some were shocked, some were plain happy,
and there were some who jumped in delight
& there I was, who couldn't even be part of it!
But am still elated, at the thought of being promoted.
An added responsibility for you two,
Be rest assured we will be there too.
Let the feeling sink in
& give us some time
To begin the celebrations
the joy & the shine.
Let me end on this happy note
& pray good things for you both.
coz in the making is OUR bundle of joy,
In the making is OUR precious toy!!
This one's dedicated to my sister and my jiajji for obvious reasons.

Rock n Roll
Funny how this term has become the perfect way to describe my life. its like a ball which that keeps on bouncing. you like the attitude of bouncing back , not realising that it is hurting itself by touching the ground every time it bounces.
I feel i have no control over it. what has it come to, my life, i don't know where is it taking me, why is it doing wht it is doing. life is a rollercoaster. i thought i had everything under control till a few days back, but then again, it decides to surprise me. One person has so much of power, irresponsible it is.
Lack of stability. its is hurting, i ma ready to bounce back, but worried to see the scenes when i bounce. not sure what i will be seeing. will i be able to digest it, will i be able to face it. i am worried, but i am still looking forward to it. i like challenges, may be i am not all that successful excelling at them, but still the thrill of facing a new one is more than enough to motivate me.
a challenge awaits me, a bomb, a fire cracker, or could all be just an ordinary spark. but yet, i want to see it. i am excited, i am nervous, i am insecure, i am speechless. i want things to get over fast, yet things to slow down for me to enjoy or sulk in the moment.
i am dying, but i want to enjoy this death. i am smiling at the prospect of seeing death, i am waiting with expectant eyes. i want to just go out there and have fun. i want to live the moment.
i know GOD is with me, i know he will only let good happen to me. i trust him, i have belief in him. i am going to win.
i am goonna ROck and i am gonna ROll !!!

It was more like Vashi Blues!
There we were, a group of six friends all set to enjoy our weekend away from Mumbai, on the outskirts, though geographically we were still inside it! I had been thinking for a while now that whenever someone talks about a long drive why do most of us think of going to Cchurchgate or a Worli seaface? Is there no other place in and around Mumbai which is as pleasing as those places? Do we always have to go ‘townside’ for a enjoyable experience!
So I came up with this thought of going to Vashi for dinner that weekend with my bunch of hooligans. Well, we do not act like one, just that I like referring to them by that name. Anyway, getting back, we were all awaiting this weekend and this long trip to Vashi. One of the most well planned suburb of Mumbai, this place is like another country. Divided into sectors, broad roads, clean pavements, no hawkers, it was like we were in
About 95 minutes later we finally reached Centre one, the new mall in Vashi. We were hungry by now as it was a little past regular dinner time and thus we rushed to the restaurant, ‘Bombay Blues’. We had no idea what lay in store for us. We started with onion rings, the desi starter. We were surprised to see the waiter get those rings on a steel rod not accompanied with a plate, and on inquiring we were taken aback by his statement. “ This is how we serve to all our customers, sir! You find this weird is it?”
Definitely not expecting such an answer we went ahead and ordered for some nachos and cheese and a fresh lime soda. The waiter was on fire and the service was top notch. The cheese tasted as if it was rotten and the our Mr.Sympathetic got us fresh lime soda without any soda. Well if that wasn’t enough, the Pepsi we got was completely fizzed out! We then started to wonder whether coming all the way to Vashi did make sense or not, or was it just a small tiny winy mistake!
A restaurant with such a good reputation, well at least outside Vashi, could falter so badly and did not even have a good excuse to fall back on! We were all very disappointed with the service and only after a little convincing by the Manager of the Restaurant did we think of paying them a little amount for the onions rings and Pepsi.

Take a Mental Video
That's how I felt this time during my birthday week. It just kept on going and i think it ended yesterday with my birthday treat.
started with a big bang with my surprise birthday party by some real close friends on a monday....!! 4 days in advance n something that was totally and completely unexpected. it was one of the most memorable birthday surprise parties ever for me. I cannot recall any surprise party I had before so this one goes right at the top.
To think of it, I used to keep doing these pranks n fool people but this time i got conned and could not find out that my friends had planned a party!! Can't believe but i actually had tears in eyes at the end of the day to think that i was blessed with such cool and wonderful friends.
From then on, thursday happened to be the next day for another birthday celebration...we all were going to pick up frm bro-in-law and at the airport in the middle of the night..well actually at around 4 in the morning....cut another cake...made by my sis...another sweet surprise...n being surrounded by some of the people closest to me was the cherry on the top.
Next day, the 10th, 'THE DAy' i reach office and boom everybody was waiting for me to come ....all the hoo halla that i got surrounded by was a sight to see. Later in the evening was lucky to have another cake for myself. another celebration with a few kicks n punches as birthday bumps..and the regular cake smudging on the face not just once but twice...good and taken down all in good spirit...actually more than happy to have the cake being smacked on the face.
yaa, it's not over yet, then that night i left for my cousins place. after reaching i found out that they were planning to have a small get together for me and my niece whose birthday happened to be a few days later. It did happen and what a stage that was..literally! at aapni dhani...on the stage wih the dancers around us and music played in the background and hounded by my sister and cousins doing the same thing, potofying cake on my face.
had a rocking time...the first time that i had such a wonderful birthday..though missed the regular one i used to have with my school buddies coming over and we going out to eat chinese!!
but this change was a welcome one and though missed my buddies am sure will have our kinda party when we have our re union.

this loss must ve reminded dravid of the bad 'ol days ! when he used to b d sole anchor n other big hitters used to get out to leave him with a fifty for a losing cause...
yet again the ppl at d top faltered and d ppl lower down d order had to suffer...tho karthik still came up trumps...remaining not out till d end...
a run out to start with n with gambir as tentative as ever...d pressure was always on dravid n tendlya to perform n score at almost a run a ball to keep hopes of winning alive
tendlya as usual disappointed...n dravid tried but could not get much support from d other end...so it was left to karthik n d others to try n give a fight..which unfortunately they cud not n in d end lost by a huge margin of over 100 runs...
this sets a bad tone for d rest of the series n i feel recovering frm here is nt goin to b all tht easy..but wht the hell..good teams r able to turn tides in their favour n i believe we have one gud team in the makin..lest we can get rid of d stars n get in some performers..its high time d board decided to switch to youngsters..
may b the twenty20 may throw up a few..
am not sayin we will def do well with youngsters but we have seen wht experience has got us.....they have d fear of failure lingerin so hard in their minds tht they cannot see victory at any place n if not got rid of them soon this feeling might sink in with the youngsters too n we wud b the windies..
its time to bid adieu to the likes of tendulkar, ganguly, dravid, n kumble n time to breed in some new talent..
they wud need time to groom n blossom..
now is the best time...!!!!

It keeps getting awkward
hmm...well it does...esp when she is someone who is related to you.someone you are sure to bump in to quite regularly...what to do now? will someone ever find out?...what if sis finds out? what?
being in the same room is difficult now...we do not look each other in the eye....one due to hatred...other due to other's hatred.....weird isn't it?...naah i say...
to be myself is difficult now...i am conscious...i am controlled...i am different...i am unable to do things as i used to..unable to say what i feel like.....i am unable to act as i am supposed to....how long can we carry on this game? how long can we try and keep it going.....with the chemistry that we had ..to d fun and entertainment we were....is it possible for no one to notice a change there?...
at one point we needed people to ask us to stop talking and leave to now where we need someone around to talk to..coz we do not talk to each other..........how will it work out?...
am nervous..am tensed...
i do not even know if i am over her or not....have i started liking someone already?.....what has happened to me...saying this it self makes me feel so shallow.....how could i? i do not even know about her feelings..i have no clue about mine either..do i hate her still....can i ever get back with her?...will i have to let others know about it?..
its getting awkward....its just keeps getting awkward.........rather awkward !!!
frustrations...fears....
will i be able to love someone as much...will i ever forget her?....will i move on? have i already?
questions...questions...questions....running all over my mind...
just stop thinking and live as if nothing has happened...simple , huh?...
yes it is...until i start thinking about it again !
SIMPLE...SEE TOLD YOU !

the END
so, it finally came, one that has lasted longer than the other ones. this one wasn't that big a deal when it came to facing life after it. May be i ve become stronger.....naahh who am i am kidding...may be i had experienced it before and thus the effect was less this time. Don't know the answer, but sure can't any damaging consequences. this time I do not want anyone's pity and sympathy....did not want it before too but kind off liked it....this time I am yet to open my heart to someone and bore them with my story....or rather my 'love life'!! as they like calling it.
So what has changed....i do not know....this time i did not even tell her its over....i love technology....u can end a relationship through an SMS !!!...wonder when they will have SMS'es that will read..TALAQ TALAQ TALAQ.. and it will all be over in one go !!...in 1 rupee !!...whoaaa that will be some big day i reckon....
anyway..getting back to my sob story...how it happened?....no one wants to know but i want to say..that's what i like about blogs....cool, eh?
that nite..me and my friend were discussing it..(my 'lowe life' duhh )...and she told me to leave her and stop this mess....told me it would affect me later and she couldn't see me suffer.....was so true....i wouldn't wanna suffer for someone who right at the end moment tells me that dude....u r not the one !!...i mean...WHAT THE &^$% !!!
what have i been doing all this while..trying to make her feel special..trying to give her every inch of my soul..trying to make her happy with whatever little i can......trying to make things work...even without much help from any quarter....and all i asked for in return is some sign which tells me she loves me...is it too much to ask?..
am i asking too much when i say please give me some attention and not the 'boy' you think u like....but r not sure..... am i someone in ur life?....do i have any importance? why do i keep asking myself and you this question again and again...there must be something to it.....
my friend gave me the answer....dude....ur no one in her life....
she is not getting the attention she wants from her guy..so she moved on to you...consciously or uncosciously god knows..but she did....n u r giving her all the attention in d world...may b more.....so she gives u these little hints once a while...n u go bonkers !! ....
n i think.....DUDE I WAS SO DUMB !! how could i not see all this before...how could i let her take advantage of me for so long without realising it...
i do not deserve it .....i do not deserve to be kicked around like this...
she had taken things in her hand far too long....its time i took it back...wrest the powers back in my own hands....so i called it quits !..its over.....nothing new...no new reason...same old.....i did not want to celebrate an anniversary with a girl who does not even know whether she likes me or not...had given her enough time....had taken enough time.............enough is enough........
its over !!

Isn't this attitude showing?
come on ppl get ur minds to work..
this is just my point of view n somethin tht i thot of when i saw gibbs batting yest
ok c this...these days its the best batsman tht bats at no 4 for most teams and controls the match ...he gets most pressure n due to experience n talent the guy is able to do well.....wht best position to give to sachin than this...
ENG - Pieteren
AUS - Clarke
RSA - GIbbs
NZL - Styris
SRL - Sangakarra
WI - Lara
Pak - Yousuf
IND - Sachin ???
n he says he wants to open coz he is most comfortable there...agreed...but then if he has changed his game then he does not deserve to play at 1 !! look at jayasuriya he has played for almost 16 years himself n hasnt changed his game n even he was'dropped' !!!he came back n has started playin as well as he used to....n still attacks not like Sachin who says his body is not the same nemore...agreed tht can happen but now come on ..do wht the team needs...be a team man...dnt show tht u r a star n will do as u please..lok at Gibbs he was an opener too n no one can argue over his abilities now....he has not even changed his game yet.....he has been asked to be at 4...he dint say a word...there was news goin around tht he may b dropped from the side...wht does he do...he plays well....he was scoring centuries when this news was doin the rounds....
so all u Sachin fans...i think he is showin attitude..n being starry...rules r same for all... if u have changed ur game suiting ur needs...then the team can also do so to suit the nations needs...n U dnt come between the teams's needs...
AS PUT IN HIS OWN WORDS...TEAM COMES BEFORE SELF !!!
ITS TIME HE PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES !!!!!

Should Sachin retire?
hmm....well u may say that who r we to decide or suggest?..right...but then who made Sachin wht he is today in our minds? we....we deserve to question him...we expect it from him coz he has been delivering it...so how come now he has this sudden pressure...n if he cannot take this pressure...then plz leave the field....i never told u to go n become this genius !!...who can do no bad !!!
n now if u have kept their expectations alive for so many years dont tell me u cnt fulfill them now......
if u can't cope up with the increasing pressure plz get up n leave !!
we have a 100 others dyin to come in..unless a Gavaskar leaves u cnt a Sachin..n unless a sachin leaves u wont c a ........... !!

Keep Walking ! - Well done guys...good one !
I saw this ad recently on a bus stop nr Mahim...it was a Johnie Walker ad...it just moved me so much that i had to share it with u people.
It read....DEFEAT.....n over it the famous slogan....(Keep Walking)
3 words but a killa effect it had one me....
thats why I just thought to myself....I think we should move on and stop playing the blame game!!

Why do we believe whatever Chappell says?
Hey guys I think this is not fair. we believe every word of what this Chappell is saying. Does this mean we have no faith in our cricketers. I know that these things have never been this transparent but how can we question their integrity and not question Chappell's intentions?
How dare we say that, Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly have attitude problems and they do not allow youngsters, when it is very well known that Ganguly is the guy who built a team broken by match fixing scandals..Remember Jadeja & Azhar leaving our team beleaguered and others going out ?...It is not easy to fill such a big void but he did a splendid job.
How can we then question them and their attitude....had this been the case, the fallout would have come a long time back..may be when Wright was at the helm.
This Chappell is here to ruin Indian Cricket...and he is taking full advantage of us no being united about this issue. We do not trust our own players who have given their all and have sacrificed so much for the nation....ya agreed they have got good returns as far as money is concerned but I am sure a lot of effort has gone in even coming upto this level...it is not fluke.....so I think it's time we give them their due respect . Let's forgive them for their mistake...and move on !!!
