IPL2 concludes in two days

The surprise in this IPL is Manish Pandey, its a final stage of IPL and that guy is fired up, is he the next Yusuf Pathan? If he helps Banglore win Semi and Final, then he is really comparable to Pathan. Two days to go and we will have some discoveries. Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina are impressive throughout this tournament. There is no discoveries in bowling section, so that is little disappointing. Apart from that, I am really surprised by the Banglore team's resurgence, I thought Deccan is back with a bang, but its Banglore is back with a Big Bang and it leads in this respect. How interesting is that to see. What I feel is that Deccan has very good bowling section and they have Gilchrist, while Chennai has very good batting section. But deep down what I feel is that Banglore is going to maintain its resurgence. I already predicted Delhi and Deccan in finals in earlier blog, now that is reality, but given that Delhi Vs Deccan in semiz, only one of them is about to play Final. I wish Banglore win the semiz and Finals, that would be a greatest setback and surprise. Delhi should be the hottest contender for finals and Banglore should beef up a heart pounding setback, that would be like extavagant end for IPL2.

Bitter Sweet Symphony

Just before five years I became a fan of The Verve, because I watched the song "BitterSweet Symphony". Its one of those songs which I would love to watch whenever I am free. My understanding goes like the song itself is a reflection of life in some way, its bitter and its sweet, and its a symphony that changes with time, you hear it and feel sweet or bitter its your choice. One horrible mistake (probably) is that I think its "I am here in my MOLD" and not "I am here in my mind". The lyrics is just touching and it talks about conformity and change, which is inevitable but not genuine, its actually more like a makeover.

Who the hell is Heath Ledger?

I heard a lot about Heath Ledger in early february 2008 but I never recognized who he was. Initially I thought of some female actress reason being I already watched little of Heather Graham, I was little confused and I thought its that lady who is in the news. In fact, I heard a lot about Brokeback Mountain but never knew the cast, so I could not recognize Heath Ledger. I did not watch the movie, so had no clue about Heath. Then I watched the trailer of TDK and that was to me so-far the most thrilling introduction to any actor, it blew me away all of a sudden (even when I watch TDK now, it gives me goosebumps) his iconic portrayal of Joker actually shadows the fact that TDK is all about a Batman, it brought immense meaning to the Batman sequence with his portrayal, and it was that "this TDK is all about a joker" and not as much about a Batman. I really looked forward to see what Joker does next while watching TDK and that is truly the power of acting. I was conviced that TDK is a Godfather II of comic novel Batman and in my personal openion the next Batman sequel should be freezed for a while because it would certainly not be the denomination of TDK's impressions. Heath Ledger created a on-screen revolutionary meaning of the Joker, and that deserves Long Live Revolution and Long Live Heath Ledger.

Hum na rahe to yaad Karoge, Samjhe!

[ My favorite song "Achha ji mein haari chalo", Devanand and Madhubala]

Whenever I think of Madhubala, I either compare her with Ingrid Bergman or Marylin Monroe. Hollywood have not seen another Isla Lazlo and Bollywood has not seen another Anar Kali. When I see new models in Bollywood or Hollywood, they looks so much shallow, nobody is physical feature wise as solid stuff as Madhubala or Marylin Monroe. The lines were truly self explanatory and now when she is not here, it bring ethereal and celestial meaning... It reads "Hum na rahe to yaad Karoge, Samjhe!" This should be a tag line for Madhubala's Biography.

Ab aayega Maza

All the teams except Kolkata are equally poised as of now. All the teams have number of points equal or more than matched played, and this translates to a fresh start of IPL with less number of matched to be played... around 7 or 8 for each team except few who will be playing 6 games. Part of the excitement is brought by Banglore's and Punjab's resurgence. Yesterday Deccan and Delhi lost to their opponents, which says that anything can happen in the IPL 2009. Well, I am in favor of Delhi and Deccan but now I really look forward for really exciting matches, because all the team knows they are not at all falling behind any of the other teams, this is the time they can take lead.

"7 won" is almost done

Its a simple calculation, given double round robin with eight teams, the average win of any team is 7 wins, so if a team wins 7 games its certified to go through semi finals, no doubt. Deccan needs 3 games and Delhi needs four. Of course, I am also very much interested in clash of the titans on 30th April "Delhi vs Deccan".

Delhi and Deccan

Since two weeks I have got an impression and gut feeling that IPL2 awaits Delhi and Deccan's voracious final. Delhi being my most favorite team for Sehwag and Gambhir combination and I count it in the finals just based on this pair alone. In case of Deccan, I really see that they have an exceptional head start and they have a point to prove here, they are redeeming themselves after IPL season 1's atrocious firing at almost all of the management level, and when they have now undestood they are redeeming a big way, they can't fall short at any moment visualizing a glorious chain of win especially after Season 1. I also love Deccan Team partly cuz in my professional carrer I was based in Hyderabad, the city of Nawabs.

Food for Thought

Given the abundance of Masala, Indian cuisine is very complex in terms of different combination of natural flavors. Though, its delicious to an Indian, the same does not apply to people from outside India. For example, I forced a chinese taste a delicious Indian snack, and he was reluctant to try it. The same masala which is delicious for me, is perhaps atrocious cuz he is not familier with the taste. And when I look at their overall recipe, it looks they use lesser condiments and masala, in different terms their food is little more simple and plain, like plain noodle and little bit of masala to avoid it being too much plain. I sometimes prefer to have taste of plain recipe without any masala and condiments, also I like sometimes cooking food without a drop of oil, it feels so much nutritious and natuaral, and also I feel Its more suitable to your stomach at a regular interval if you are eating too much of masaledaar food. BTW I am proponent of Udhiyu and Pav Bhaji, the simple reason being it has almost all of the frequently used vegetables, condiments/masalas as well as oil and salt. I feel its a perfect cocktail (nutrition wise) without any artificial processing.

Monkey patch to a machine fault

Here is what I found while searching for a jazz playlist on youtube. In fact I presume anyone getting angry for the not-so-reliable-for-the-moment youtube network, but I laughed at it for the moment when the error description put me right in perspective to basically who I am?.. a Human... Something rightly justified through a really human touch to an error log of machine fault...

500 Internal Server Error
