Nostalgia.... all fell apart

just a sentence... i am missing everyone...

Chitkar!!!

Chitkar.. a Guju play.. i watched yesterday(23/10/07) .. watched a play after a really long time in a theater ... and wot a play it was... amazing truely amazing ... a few stats abt the play (now i am talkin like a MBA ;) )

Chitkar ... most successful guju play ever.. 1st played abt 25 yrs ago!!! yeh .. 25!!! this 1 was its 761st attempt ... its among the top 10 plays in the world...

The story is based on true life incident which had happened in Gujarat some years back. The drama is pretty old, infact it ran packed houses for 15 years and they discontinued it because it was affecting the lives of the actors. Playing role of mentally challenged person is not that easy I guess. Sujata Mehta in the role of Ratna (Mentally challenged person) was just too impressive. Hats off!! Infact.. Sujata Mehta is the only actor who hasnt changed.. for all other characters, actors hav changed over the years...

Apart from this, the story... being 25yrs old... for a moment i didnt feel.. tht this is not possible in today's world .. everything seems so relevant even in todays senario ... I wud say a MUST SEE!!!

Mitesh Kaka - The Teacher!!!

Yesterday(12/10/07) .. i went a cousin's place... to pick up a parcel..
there i was.. reached ... but.. cousin.. uncle.. anuty.. not there.. only bhabhi and.. 3 kids..

then comes niyati(cousins old daughter... in 1st std) .... and tel me.. "kaka homework karayo" (help me do my homework) ...

it was a little comprehension.. of tom and jerry... and then questions related to the para... i was so difficult to make her read... as.. to us it seems so easy and trival.. 4 them.. its like rocket science... totally challenging...

A new wave in Indian Sports - Chak De!!!!

Yeh.. its true... i sense something...

btw... indian sport doesnt start and end vth CRICKET!!!

wot timing the movie was released...

Straight away after the release... India... in cricket wins... a Test Series in England.. after 21 years.. tht too.. defeating an England team.. which hasnt lost a home series in last 5 years... tht was good...

The movie.. also.. got into limelight.. the women hockey.... hmm..

A wave has been created.... a new Spirit of Indian Sports.... CHAKE DE!!!!

The icing.. just came.. yesterday... in India Football....

i am not a gr8.. football fan at all.. nor do i follow... the various club championships...

Yesterday.. while scrolling channels.. i came accross a match - India v/s Seria ... ok.. but.. i didnt change the channel.. vch i otherwise would hav... the reason being.. india 1-0 ahead.. ok.. tht hav been wiped out in past... but.. the time was 93 mins.... ok.. this is cool....

Then.. India eventually won.. i saw.. fanatic celebrations... by players.. the crowd.. also. the commentators where shouting there lungs out.... i was like.. this isnt oridinary win..

It wasnt... India had won.. Nehru Cup .. ok tht ment it was a final.. vch i obviously.. dint know... i thought.. tht might b a fluke.. but then.. hearing the progress in the tournament by india.. i was pleasantly surprised... v had beaten a team 6-0, bangaldesh by 2-0... lost to seria.. but.. then.. beat turkey 3-0 to reach to finals..

The suprising part.. v won this cup for the first time ever after 56 yr it started!!!!!!!!

But.. it was in delhi... in a ground.. tht was packed to rafters... the atmosphere comparable to any cricket match in india.... the crowd.. also.. vth loads of placards of the same Chake De theme... more over... the Football fedration head.. was.. also.. running on the ground like a young kid... was celebrating vth the squad.. it was a pretty site..

Let all the Sports... Ride high on this new wave... CHAKE DE!!!! INDIA!!!!!

Indian Cricket - Succession Planning Nightmare

So... it seems India Cricket is getting back on its feet... slowly but surely... test series win against England was good.. before tht... one-day series win over South Africa... so.. things getting back a bit... its good

But... wots sad to see .. especially in test squad (which is doing better than the one-day unit) .. is the BIG FOUR.... Sachin, Dravid, Dada & Laxman ... r the center of the batting..

Wots sad to see is tht none of the youngsters are able to break these fabulous four... kaif is back to wilderness... Yuvraj.. isnt tht gr8 test player...

These four will b retireing very close to each other... and there could b a huge hole.. and v can see a big dip in the Indian Cricket...

It this situation building up to b a classic case of Succession Planning... or lack of it ?!?!?!??!

Chak De!! India!!!

Finally a flim from bollywood, entirly dedicated to a sport... others vch v had were not excatly concentrated on a sport, but to much more drama in the players life... like laagan & Aval number..

Chak De!! India!! .. here v hav a film concentrating on a sport & the issues related to sport.. & not the personal life of player... amazing film... good screenplay... gr8 acting.. has to b as.. SRK is around.. all in all a complete entertainer..

I saw the film 2day was a perfect setting.. India winning Test series yesterday & i was all so charged up.. also tomorrow being our independence day.. so..was bang in between 2 events relating to "Chak De!! India" feeling.. only dissapointment being.. not seeing this 1 with few more frnds.. & especially AV .. who too was so keen to see this 1 ..
