The previous week was both eventful and uneventful.
The tamil new year witnessed the release of 3 blockbusters-to-be.The dream of first day first show has always been distant to me.The exams pressurised me to stay @ home,yet i went to the marina after exactly one year.
*************************************************************************************
I returned home from marina by the MRTS train.It glided gracefully over the buckingham canal and adyar river b4 reaching tiruvanmiyur.The triplicane station resembled a shopping complex but it was totally empty.No fly or crow!The view of tidel park as the train approaches tiruvanmiyur rocks bigtime.The train is the
conventional EMU but do travel once to catch an aerial view of the city.
*************************************************************************************
Pakistan outplayed India in the last 2 matches at kanpur and delhi.While pak kept the runrate constant every over,india had do go for it in the initial stages only to be deceived by the pace of Naveed Hasan and Ifthikar with Afridi's spin(and bat)creating a "tsunami out of a ripple"(thanx magix)
*************************************************************************************
Talking of cricket i cant help quoting rameez raja's commentary excerpts.
1st match:Abdur razzaq has been very consistent.3 overs bowled and JUST 20 runs...........
world cup 2003-ind vs pak:razzaq has the capability to slow down the indian batting.He's been instrumental in giving tendulkar the cramps...........
5th match:salman butt has played outstandingly in this series.I'm sure he'll stay till the end,put up a mammoth partnership with afridi......He was out the next ball.
*************************************************************************************
And here's the ads:
world cup final:"Kar lo duniya muthi mein" featuring sehwag was telecast the moment he was run out by the aussies.
2nd match(ind vs pak 2005):WESTSIDE featuring Yuvraj was telecast as soon as he edged to akmal.
*************************************************************************************
I've started watching a new programme on TV.It's telecast at 6 pm on jaya tv.It's the recorded telecast of the tamilnadu assembly session.It's more like a comedy serial.U better watch it since decent comedy soaps r a rarity nowadays.An excerpt:
a PMK member:All station names,bus route boards,tea shop names etc should be in tamil(he says this in tamil).The CM has been neglecting rural education.(in tamil)
.REVOLUTION,EDUCATION,DEVELOPMENT(he said these words)must be the motto of the govt.
JJ:Dear protectors of tamil,please see to it tht u practise what u preach
bang bang bang bang bang....(the aiadmk member bang the desks as applause)
This is probably one of the reasons Y JJ wanted the secretariat to be shifted to anna univ campus.If the desks break as a result of too much banging then perhaps they can use our desks.BANG BANG BANG...........
************************************************************************************
While watching the above session count the number of bald heads in the assembly.Is it "satta sabhai" or "sotta sabhai"????????
************************************************************************************
FINAL:
My uncle came here last saturday."He would sell the splendor.Then I can go by bus."I thought.But that was not to be."Let it be with u.U have to maintain it."This was wat he said.I felt overjoyed.The splendor would remain with me for the next 2 years.But I still prefer travelling by bus.The joys of travelling by public transport are many.I'll describe them in another blog.
