Ah...the symphony...

I post today (after a very, very long time) for today is a great day. Today, we Indians raised our heads as one. Rahman played a violin somewhere in the background. Sukhwinder Singh sang the uplifting 'Chak De India', in a slow, sweet symphony to these selfsame strings. Lata ji accompanies him, with KK joining in at precisely the right moments. Ah...the symphony!!

And amongst this slow, uplifting melody which lifts the heart of every cricket spectator in a wave of pride and joy, I jump in, thumb my nose at the Aussies and shriek out a rather poor rendition of 'We are the champions', with a few choice expletives hurled at the Australian team for good measure.  

Ulitmately, pure talent overcame mediocrity. Humility overtook arrogance. In short, the blues just showed the world that the yellows...for lack of a better word....suck!

And it wasn't even close! Thats the awesome part! Hats off to our team, which has ushered in what could be the post-1983 Golden Era of Indian cricket. Dhoni's daring, Sehwag's spunk, Gambhir's grace, Sachin's superiority, Zaheer's zest....what else does Indian cricket need? 

Course, we'll miss ya, Dada and Jumbo. But don't worry! Indian cricket seems to be in safe hands. 

And what else?? Hmm..of course...Obama won! In this cricketing haze, you tend to forget that the Americans (for once) have made the smart choice, the right choice! But I aint much of a political writer...I'll leave that to my more-informed friends in the blogosphere...

Btw...a couple of suggestions related to the world of Bollywood: watch Fashion for sure, drop your ticket for Himesh's Karzzzz in a river full of paper-eating piranhas, appreciate Bond...or else, and try getting your hands on Roadside Romeo (this is a purely selfish suggestion, whoever does manage the above, HAND THE DAMNED COPY OVER TO ME!!!) 

And thats about it. My study vacation is startin from tomorrow, and I'm gonna spend it constructively.....watching films, blogging (if I don't suffer from bloggers elbow by tomorrow), downloading tv shows, reading and the like. 

And on a completely random note, a giant yah-boo to am plus. 

Cheers!
