Thanks Saurav for the T20 Victory!

While watching the festivities after India's win in the nail biting match yesteday I suddenly came upon a statement made by Saurav Ganguly that was being flashed in the panel at the bottom of the screen on one of the innumerable news channels-'Saurav regrets turning down chance to play in T20 tournament'- hello my dear, if you had not turned down chance we would not have won. I have been screaming myself hoarse in my blog rooting for young blood in the team since the beginning of my blogging career! Now my dream has come true. The young side with no emotional baggage and no serious injury and no politics, a fresh, energetic, stress free side with a uber cool captain-wah India wah!And what is this talk of having a different captain for the test side, I am sure that Dhoni has put such thoughts to rest. He is the undisputed leader of the side! I am glad that the 'Big Three' Sachin, Saurav and Dravid had absented themselves from the scene, thank you again guys. I am sure that they could have used their political clout to enter the team but they must have thought that it would not be worth their while. They would never have guessed that T20 would be such a hit and the chaps would bring home the cup!
The comic relief was provided by our own Badshah of Bollywood who turned up looking like Michael Jackson, his six pack seems to have fed itself from his face which has shrunk deep into his hair, his son looked cool though he does not have his father's dimples and his fathers dimples have disappeared in his hair! Mr Badshah needs help, the guy who is responsible for his present look should be fired forthwith. Oh for the simple dimpled sweet badshah of the 'Fauji' days sigggghhhh.....

You are right....for the first time I am wondering how the 3 big guns would fit into this exuberant new side when they are all ready to mingle and play again.I know all will want to hang in to their careers for the sake of millions earned through contracts and endorsements.....but for the first time it does look like noone will say "wish sachin was there". They simply were not missed (probably for the first time) and wont be in the future.

As far as Sharukh and his new Michael Jackson look is concerned...i do hope its being done for a role or character he is working in...and will dissappear as soon as the movie ends..... The new yet to be released movie om shanti om promos has him without his shirt in a bizzare song showing off his packs....i guess its part of a mid life crisis actors go through (an unbearable shekhar suman does the same in his new singing avatar) before he settles down to play "father" roles

Koko, thanks for reading the stuff patiently and agreeing with the new young side theory.I had forgotten about Shekhar Suman's horrendous make over.Yeah, SRK is displaying same symptom. Farah Khan is a strange friend to allow him to appear like that on screen.Have you seen the pepsi add with John A?It is really scarey.

Pepsi add is terrible....no wonder the kid ignored him and went for the pepsi instead.I would have done the same.What a terrible gal bhanga choware look for a superstar....shame on whoever has suggested this makeover
