Wont write much of an intro just a compilation of 11 songs which I think can be termed as the most memorable ones during the years I have spent on this earth. I must have missed out one or the other. Please point out any if you think so.

Pehla Nasha(Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar) - If ever there is a song which can be attached to first love then this is it. The song has that sweet, young and beautiful feel to it which can never be surpassed. A million songs have come after and before it but none can portray it as good as this one. One of the best romantic song of all times. Song which comes to everbody’s lips when they fall in love for the very first time. Amir Khan with all his youth lost in his wonderland imagining her sweet hear along with Sweet and simple Ayesha Julka cherishing each and every moment of this wonderful feeling can just make your day whenever you see the song.

Urwasi (Humse Hai Muqabla) - India’s answer to Michael Jackson came with this song. The song is not that special but the video of the song with Prabhu Deva strutting around and moving his body in every possible way and direction just looks fantabulous and you can’t help but wonder with amazement. The song made Prabhu Deva an overnight star converting him from virtually a nobody to the “DANCING” super star of India.

Papa kehte hain (Qayamat se Qayamat Tak) - To this day 20 years after the song came, any farewell party can’t be complete without this song being played once. Definitive voice of a confused and yet hopeful youth trying to make his way into the real world burdened by the heavy load of expectations all the while unsure of what destiny has in store for him and how he will survive in this big bad world.

Yaaron(K.K) - The FRIENDSHIP song, the first song which comes into mind when you talk about friendship. The song is friendship to me. Farewell party, welcome party, just some other meeting or just an occasion to remember your friends. This one has friendship written all over it. Beautiful lyrics and the mesmering voice of K.K. have made this one a song out of this world. Just unbelievable

Aati Kya Khandala (Ghulam)- The song which started quite a few trends,
i)  Actors singing for themselves
ii) Songs in the form of conversation
Many actors tried this (SRK in Josh, Sanjay Dutt in Khoobsurat) and succeeded to an extent in doing so after this one but no song can ever match the popularity which this song achieved. Became a cult song with the typical mawali type language of Amir Khan and ofcourse the matches scene when he extenguishes it with his tongue which sent tongues rolling all over the country, everybody trying to ape the scene. A trend setter!!!

DDLJ Songs - Really confused as to which one should make the list, should it be “Tujhe Dekha”, “Ruk Ja Dil Deewane” or “Mere Khwabon mein”, a movie which needs no introduction, the biggest block buster, the Trend setter. All in one and the music of this movie was also just different. Won’t say this is the best music, am pretty sure there would be many movies whose music would be better than this one but no music can ever be so unforgettable. Shahrukh Khan dancing like a mad man on the stage(Ruk ja O Dil Deewane), Kajol dancing in the rain in a very sweet(n short) white dress(Mere Khwabon), or whether it be the scene of the intoxicated Kajol running around in the beautiful locales of Europe with SRK (Zara sa Jhoon)following her can never fade away from my mind.

Dil Chahta Hai (Dil Chahta Hai)- Was thinking earlier that I wont go to movies this new and would limit myself to the last millenium but can’t complete this list without the mention of this song. The youth song of this generation. Can’t write much about it but this one had to be there..

Chholi ke peeche (Khalnayak)- I never would have thought that this song will make any list of my memorable songs as I cant bear listening to this song but the popularity of this song can never be denied. A typical mass song which like Himesh Reshammia, you can try as much as you can but you will never be able to ignore it or run away from it, this will always be knocking at your door

Hume Ghar Chhoda hai (Dil)- If Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman captured the imagination of the nation 45 years ago with the song aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai sitting in the back of a truck stuffed with fodder then Amir Khan and Madhuri Dixit ran away from all the boundaries and restrictions trying to build their own world in the 1990. I dont remember listening or seeing this song complete even once in my life but I will be hard pressed to find a person who hasnt heard the famous lines “Humne ghar Chhoda hai”

Chhaiya Chhaiya - The forerunner of all the item songs, a song which scaled the heights of popularity transforming Malaika Arora from a nobody to a household name all over the country. This song has created a new role in Hindi movies, that of “item girl” providing the starlets with oppurtunity to hog the limelight by gyrating to the tunes of a catch song. The popularity of this form made even Aishwarya do an Item, all of it just beacuse of one song. These days it becomes almost impossible to imagine a film without an item number. Helen can be said to be the starter of this trend but her songs were generally cabrets so wont say her the first item girl of bollywood, instead Malaika will take the crown!!

Tanha Dil (Shaan) & Dhoom Pichuk Dhum (Euphoria) - I think Indian Pop genre owes a lot to these songs, one of the earliest popular songs which are still hummed by the people to this date.

Some songs which just missed the cut
Rangeela Re (Rangeela)
Kabutar Ja Ja (Maine Pyar Kiya)
Ye Dil Deewana (Pardes)

You must have noticed that Amir Khan rules the list with 5 in the list. He is definitely something….

EDIT: This is NOT a list of my favourite songs, this is the list of songs which have been the most memorable ones in the last 2 decades. This can be because of varied reasons, worst song, best video, best audio, any trend which the song set!! Anything!!!

Song of the Day:- Tujhe Dekha from DDLJ

PS1:- Finally online after spending two days without net in Office as well as room, horrible experience
PS2:- Hyderabad is getting quite hot these days!!
PS3:- Effectively more than 11 songs in the list but itna to chalta hai
PS4:- Two posts in succession on music
PS5:- Quite a bit of colours on this post.. Must be my most colourful writing till date!!

Since the year 2006, 12th July for me and almost all of my close friends has been a very important date. A date, I think none of us can, atleast in the near future, can wipe from our memories . Maroo’s birthday also falls on the same day but that doesnt make it much special (atleast for me, I don’t give a damn about birthdays) but this is a day which will always be fresh in our memories coz some of us scaled new heights and did few things which we never did till then, in a way it was sort of a part of growing up which I will always remember.

There were 4 stars of that day Me, Pagare, Raman and PK and I am pretty sure none of us is gonna forget that day in any hurry and also some other people who came in contact with our charming personalities that day. N.W. was given a lesson in dictionary reading by PK, A.S.R was pestered by Raman, Pagare frightened a certain K.K and was asked to leave his room while I was with the people in 1-12 wing gaining some knowledge and taking books from them while my name was being changed from Himank to Himesh to Hiten and what not for the guards. While the owner of Room No 238 wont like to remember the day and be reminded about the condition of his bed sheet and his room.

All this description might have flummoxed you out of your senses if you arent aware of the the events of the day (or should I say night) but I am majboor at the hands of this jalim zamana and can’t write much about it here.

This 12th July the number grew two folds and instead of the 4 original heroes that day we had 9 this time around and though you can’t reach the stars every day but this was a fitting anniversary of the illustrous day and we enjoyed as much as we could but we missed two of the original members of the illustrious gang, PK n Pagare who are out of station :(  Both of you, you missed something!!!

This post won’t mean much to almost all of you but for me this is a way to remember the day, for sure one of the best and most dramatic day of my life, a day which will linger long in my memory, a day which I would recount even years later with the same details. This post is just a way for me to recollect and relive those memories and just a way for me to read about it some time down the line and have a chuckle at myself.

The importance of the day can be seen by the fact that yesterday(13th July) me, Vipul, Raman, Mathur all had status messages regarding this day and the memorableness (if this is a word) of it.

Cheers to the day and cheers to Friendship!!!!

Song of the Day:- Kahin to hogi Vo from Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na

PS1:- Would like to thank the people of 1-12 wing from 2k3 batch again!!
PS2:- Our final year hasnt even begun and people have alreay started getting senti!! baaba re…
PS3:- This roxx specially the beta version, I don’t think many people have got the beta version but I am amongst the few lucky ones.

As the title of this post clearly tells that this post is about my favourites and in no other field but Muzzzik!! I just seriously adore Music and I don’t think I can live without the sound of music piercing my ears, though this wasnt the case upto my 10th class when I used to get a headache if ever my sister decided to see the songs on TV for a long time and for this I would thank Sushant, a friend of mine, he was the one who made me a music addict starting with Lucky Ali’s songs and from then it just kept growinggggg!!

So now coming to the main thing, this is a list of a few of my favourites according to the different departments which make a song what it is.

Starting alphabetically

Composition - Beatles & Pink Floyd

Beatles - The best composers according to me, whether it be Pyschedelic Rock, Pop Music and the song Helter Skelter by them is considered to be amongst the first Hard Rock song, they just conquered every genre. One thing which in my view would put Beatles before Floyd is that, not only the Psychedelic songs by these guys make you feel high but even other songs by them have the power to take you into some other place.  Ofcourse the range of instruments used by them and that special Indian touch in all Harrison’s compositions with some sitar almost always played in his compositions. One interesting thing in their songs is the use of clapping and they used to give credit to the band members even for the clapping part

Pink Floyd - If ever there is a mention of Psychedelic music, name of these guys can’t ever be left behind. I can never understand how they could make such music. We always use the term out of the world for music but the music of these guys is really out of the world. Listen to the song Starship Trooper and you will think that they went into space recorded some sounds there and then replayed them. The song is exactly the kind of music you would except to hear somewhere out of Earth

Examples:-
Pink Floyd- Just listen to the songs Echoes (specially after the 11th minute) and you wont ask me again and of course Starship Trooper
Beatles - Blue Jay Way & Because are just pure Psychedelia and you could be hard pressed to find better songs in the genre(atleast in my view)
Here Comes the Sun is a song by them which is not Psychedelia but is really one of the best feel good song ever. Just amazinggg!!!

Guitar - Jimi Hendrix

Since Guitar is such an important part in Rock music, so I decided to make it another category though it should come under composition and in this category there are no choices, its Jimi Hendrix all the way without any shadow of doubt, the guy has 6 songs in Top 100 Rock Guitar solos. The sounds which he produces with his guitar are just so different. He churns out the sound of machine gun, bullets being fired all from his guitar

Example:-
Jimi Hendrix - Ofcourse the famous ones like Voodo Child, All Along the Watchtower & Purple Haze are there but if you talk about his guitar then I would suggest Star-Spangled Banner… just fantabulous. Machine gun is also great. I mentioned these 2 songs because the guitar he plays in these songs is quite different

Lyrics - Bob Dylan & Simon & Garfunkel

Bob Dylan -There was never any doubt about the first name in this category. Bob Dylan is almost univocally considered as the greatest Lyricist. After all the man has been nominated for Noble Prize and that too multiple times, kuch to baat hogi hi.
Simon & Garfunkel - This name might be quite an unknown entity for many people, which always makes me wonder why they aren’t tha popular.  They are just fantabulous. In my opinion they would come under the Folk ROck & Pop genre, even the Classic Rock genre doesnt fit much on them as last.fm seems to suggest. One test which I put for a song to be good lyrically is whether there is a line in the song which I can put as my status and almost all songs by these guys have some or other line which is just quite perfect for any situation
One thing which I look for in lyrics is that it should be something different, every third guy can write about love and beauty so generally I don’t appreciate the lyrics of romantic songs much.

Example:-
Bob Dylan- Pick any bloody song from his catalogue and you will find that the lyrics will appeal to you, but my favourites are Blowing in the Wind, A Hard Rain’s gonna fall, The times they are-a changing

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Waters, I am a Rock and specially Bookends, the song has only 2 very simple and small paragraphs but those 2 paragraphs to me are just heaven!!

Think I ought to mention the name of Paul McCartney too, the guy has maximum no. 1s with lyricist credit (20 with Beatles and 9 solo) but didnt want to make it too much Beatles in this list

Vocals - Lucky Ali & Kurt Cobain

Lucky Ali - If ever there was a voice which I would term as mesmerising and soulful then I wouldn’t have to look much further than our very own Lucky Ali. His voice just does wonder to me. I have listened to quite a few voices from Lata, Kishore to Shreya Ghoshal & Sonu Nigam,K.K. in Hindi and ofcourse almost all rock vocalists in English(I can’t go on naming such a huge number) but I couldnt find a voice which influences me so much. His voice is just ethereal if I am using the correct term……Aaaah!! Wish I could sing like him.
Kurt Cobain - since the first time I heard his voice, I became a fan of his grunging. I don’t think I can describe his voice quality much coz I ain’t no expert in this but I gotta say I love his voice.
Was also thinking about including The Beach Boys in this category but then decided against it. Some people will also berate me for not including Jim Morrison in the list but somehow…. He doesnt make the cut for me. Love his voice too but not that much!!

Example:- Won’t cite any examples in this category!! Just don’t feel like…

Song of the Day:- The Roller Skate Song by Janis Joplin( her voice is also tremendous ) & FYI she is also a member of the famous “27 Club”

PS1:- Listening to top 100 songs of the Rolling Stones list (the ones I have).
PS2:- Actually I have 45 out of the Top 50 songs in the list.. GG!! 
PS3:- Somebody should be thanking his stars for getting his name mentioned on my blog in two succesive posts
PS4:- My parents coming to Hyd tomorrow!! Yippee!!
PS5:- Have to clean my room before they come to the hostel and don’t feel at all lke doing it.. God save me!!

Another poem.. Yeah!! If you want to crack my skull at this sudden outburst of poems then there is a guy named Sushant who you should blame, the guy asked me “Kabhi kabhi ladkiyon aur sex ko chhodke poems bhi likh liya karo” So here I am with another one

yesterday I met misery, the old wench
she told me about her plight
everybody in this world thinks of her as a wretch
nobody wants to hold her tight

complaining about the way people ignore her
nobody wants to appreciate the gloom
Never is she invited when they meet to confer
all the people consider her as their doom

everybody goes after the proud and vain happiness
happiness stays with you only in the time of joy
nobody appreciates the company she provides in sadness
one sign of difficulty and its time for happiness to fly

darkness of night is always praised and loved 
sunshine is no comparison to the beautiful darkness
Can’t  somebody embrace this sorry maid
Provide her the much needed solace???

Song of the Day:- White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane

PS1:- Downloading & listening the top 100 songs of the Rolling Stones Magazine list which you can find here
PS2:- Quite a short post again..
PS3:- Thats it for now…. no more PSes today!!!

It seems like ages since I have written and published a poem on my blog. So here I am back with another, so all the poetry haters , you can close the tab if you want to, though I wouldnt like that…

back in the realms of my dream
where i can ride the wheels of fantasy
i wish to do it all
pursue the things that my power wont suffice

i wish to capture the essence of nature in my words
want the paper on which I write to smell of happiness
thinking of capturing the spirit of music in my poem
hope to catch the dance all so beautiful in the curves of my writing
plan to display the free spirit of gale in the confines of this poem
hold the the eternity of the ocean in each and every small character
paint the rainbow afresh with the colours of my imagination
create a land far far away from civilization
write the words bright enough to rival 1000 suns

this is what i wish to do
this is the dream i dare to dream, a poet’s dream

Song of the Day:- Dr. Robert by Beatles

PS1:- Had an awesome weekend, watched 5 movies on saturday and spent sunday with family..

PS2:- Its the Euro Cup final today.. but am too tired to wake up.. >75 kms driving is something for a day..

PS3:- Btw wrote 3 poems on the day I wrote this.. Fuckin net wasnt working so had to do something for time pass.. but don’t think will bore my readers with the rest of them.

PS4:- Indian batting going great guns… Lets hope they keep this form

PS5:- Just have a look at the amount of jewellery this lady is wearing, she is the daughter of none other than our very own Dawood Bhai.. Have been planning to put it on blog for last 5-6 posts but always keep forgetting!! I just hope her neck is not burdened by the amount of jewellery!!

Ahhh!! What a movie.. If ever there was a list of movies which were good as well as bad then I would surely place this one at the top of the list. Ramu at his best no doubts, he gave the glimpse of the magic which e can spawn with his movies as well as the horror he can make out of a movie. Frankly speaking I don’t think anybody can ever make a movie like this except him, at times, the director in him is just too brilliant and other times, well he just almost recreates the horror of movies like Naach & Aag (of what I have heard of these movies).

Its a review quite late in coming, but what can I do, I saw the movie today and do whatever I can but I couldnt stop myself from blabbering about this movie. The movie has all the ingerdients of a good movie but there is one extra ingredient which just ruins the movie beyond any repair “Aishwarya Rai”. I don’t know what was the obsession with taking Aishwarya Rai in the movie, there was nothing in the story which justified her presence except the glam quotient which she obviously provided to the movie.

Watching the movie I was altering between crying out “BULLSHIT” the scenes where Aishwarya was there and wondering at the awesomeness of the movie. The portrayal of the local politics is quite correct as far as I am aware of the scene(which can be quite inaccurate too though I don’t think so). The Somji part was good. The suspense was also nice. Acting as you would have expected from such stars was also nice…

But, but, but.. comes Aishwarya and she spoils the movie for me. Its FUBARed coz of that character. First of all the movie could have done absolutely fine with a male character playing the role instead of the “aaj Ki aurat” Aish..Agreed you wanted to cash on the popularity of trio but then why O Why did you have to go out of line to make it so odd.  First of all the romantic angle, how can he be thinking of holiding her hand just a few days after the death of his wife whom he (supposedly) loved and who was pregnant with his child. From being just a nobody to the family, she becomes their all and sole. She is at the side of Abhishek Bachhan wherever he is and whatever he is doing. She also goes when he goes to see his father while he is recovering from a heart attack. She isnt made to wait outside but she will ofcourse be with Abhishek in the meeting. She is also the witness to a very sentimental conversation between the father and the son.

Can agree to that the romantic angle can develop, ofcourse dil pe kisi ka zor nahin chalta but towards the end when Sarkar is eliminating all his enemies, the people who conspired against the family and starts to find out that many of his own people were the culprits, even then the person he choses to share the story is none other than Mrs. Bachhan… :O

At the end I was happy to see that she wasnt on the screen for something like 5 mins and the story had shifted to Amitabh and I was about to finish the movie with finally a good impression but alas they had to involve her in the end too with she taking over the mantle of Chhote Sarkar from Abhishek and the only thing I could say was Crapppppppp…

All in all a perfect example of a good movie wasted. Though I would still say it is worth a watch.

Sarkar Raaj - Aishwarya Rai = Awesome!!

Song of the Day:- I’ll follow the Sun by Beatles

PS1:- Saw the webcast of Bill Gates last day at office. The man is sure inspiring.
PS2:- Was planning to write a post about it but watching the movie changed my mind.
PS3:- Finally weekend is here
PS4:- My blog has 60K hits now.. Yippeee..
PS5:- Ivanovich, Sharapova ousted :O Since when did So many upsets started happening in Wimbledon??

There are some people in this world who don’t recognize their strengths and weaknesses and try to take on with the big guys around. Recently a friend of mine known by the name Vipul decided to bore me, after trying the same thing and succeeding against Maroo, he thought could take on who else but the high and mighty, Yours Truly, so here I present to you the chat transcript of what transpired on that fateful night… I have been asked by my friends who have read this conversation to put it on my blog..

Song of The Day:-  Die Zauberflote by Mozart

PS1:- Not in a mood to write any PSes.. kaam karna hai..
PS2:- I have a meeting today with my Dev manager and instead of working I am publishing this faltu ka post..

After two of my posts in the series Girls and Girls-II , I am back again with another analysis of the fairer sex which again can be quite biased, quite inaccurate and blah blah but these are some things about girls which are

There are many charateristics which are quite common all through the fairer sex and you are bound to find them in atleast 99 if not 100% of the women. Some of them I have tried to list here.

First of course is Shopping, Each and every guy you see or have met is tortured by the shopping spree of the females. It doesn’t matter if a lady is sick or on death bed mention shopping and her eyes will lit up  her jammed feet will start moving on their will and nothing in this world can deter her from this noble mission and while shopping they would elongate it as much as possible even if you have liked the first thing shown, you will see all the stock in the shop until the guy has sweat dripping of his head in an AC mall trying to sever them. One great anecdote in this respect is about a time when me & my sister went to the market to buy shoes for me (if I rmr correctly though it might have been a sandal too) and after 3 and half hours of visiting all the footwear shops in Dehradun (ya you can be to every footwear shop in the city in such a little span, we came back home weatherbeaten and without any shoe to show for our pursuit, she was so damn happy saying “aaj to maza aa gaya, saari dukanein ghoom li humne” and I was like @$#%$%^ but girls are girls. There have been numerous instances of me and my father standing and looking at each other with hapless eyes while my mom and my sis would stop at some shop in the Bhutia market in Mussorie to have a look. (This was there in Girls-II though this is different view from that)

Children : I don’t know what happens to girls just at the mention of the name children, they just start behaving differently and if by any chance they see a cute baby, they won’t just leave the baby and budge from the place until and unless they have taken the baby in their arms and inquired about the whole history of the baby from their parents, guys also luv cute children but we just wink at them, smile at them and thats it. Another incident which comes to my mind for this is about an event which happened in Microsoft few days back, it was Bring Your Child to Work, you had to be with kids of the employees of MS for some time, we also volunteered for it but the only motivation for us was the T-shirt which was promised to the volunteers (though we couldnt get it thanks to Adi) but then I was talking to the girl of IIIT-D fame and she had also volunteered for the event and though she also wanted the T-Shirt but she was hell excited about interacting with the kids, even when I told my sis the same and she was like, it would be so much fun with the kids while  we were like shit man!! How will we handle these kids Though it passed off quite peacefully. Another incident which I remember is, once many of my friends were invited in my b-day cum farewell party after class 12th and the girls were also there and we were all standing in the garden type of area just chattering and all of a sudden all the girls went amiss, after looking here and there we found all of them surrounding a child who was our neighbour (like a pack of  vultures ). (Hope my school mates still remember that evenig.. It was hell fun man!! )  Girls just can’t control themselves.

English : This is a very queer thing which I have noticed but somehow girls tend to use English more often than guys, while talking to a girl you would always feel uncouth and illiterate, Guys can have as good as English as Shakespeare but they will talk to you in desi Hindi, girls on the other hand might be weak in their vocab but they insist on using English for the most common words.. This thing has always puzzled me.. First two are female characteristics and can be explained by very little bit of thought process. The thing is however hard you try english words don’t come that often to your tongue while talking in Hindi but they would be guzzling out english words in the midst of Hindi and these are no high class girls who deem it below their honour to talk in Hindi but they are essentially of ur own “genre”, I don’t know how many people have noticed this but would sure ask you to start noticing it from now on so that I can get some weight for my theory.

Jeeju : Another thing which puzzles me a lot is, the girls will never call the husband of their sister as “Jeejaji” as it is meant to be but each and every girl I have met on the face of earth would refer to (whom we could call Jeejaji) as Jeeju, making me feel as if I am some low class relative of the Jeejaji . I dont know if there is some girls puran or some rule book which states this but this rule has been tested to perfection by me without finding an exception to date.

Talking freely : I have delved in this topic in quite a lot of my blog posts that girls dont talk their mind when it comes to things like sex and guys do but one thing which we have to accept is, Indian culture has always treated women in a different way. I have no idea about how many girls watch porn and all but there must be some substantial number but you would be hard pressed to find one. Well again this is not much of a fault of theirs coz people generally will start thinking and talking things about such girls. (Again this was mentioned in Girls-II too )
I wrote about this in the last post too but there I said I havent met any girl who can talk freely but now I must admit that there are a few girls who can talk on subjects like this. Guess much has changed in two years

Well I guess this is it, think 5 points is more than enough and besides I am feeling sleepy

Song of The Day:- I Me Mine from Let It Be by The Beatles

PS1:- Nice series of Articles, Read this guy claiming that Mahabharat took place in the steppes and then this guy refuting him. Do read the comments too if you are interested in History.
PS2:- Pink Floyd were some composers, the music they have made is just out of this world.
PS3:- Btw I am shocked to hear that they are such top sellers and Dark Side of the Moon, one of the best Selling Album ever :O Can never imagine main stream listeners liking their music.
PS4:- Some of the points bear resemblance to the ones in Girls-II but thats because I didnt read that one before writing it and read it just now.
PS5:- It has been almost 2 years for this sequel post of the series to come and I promise to keep adding more to this series as and when I discver more.
PS6:- First post in this series was all about praising girls, second one, I was registering my complaints, this one is just a neutral view, I dunno what will I do in any sequel if have one in future.

Ye world hai na world, ismein do type ke famous cricketers hote hain, ek jo take retirement before people start asking questions about their retirement and even after their retirement maintain a status and some respectability in cricket fraternity as well as in the minds of the people of their country, you can find varied examples of this type of players but then as I said do type ke log(famous cricketers) hote hain, there is this other class who might have been great stars and one of the most succesful players for their country but continue playing just for the sake of some records and even after retiring wouldnt just sit peacefully or do something respectfully but keep blabbering at places where they shouldn’t and being visible at places where they aren’t expected and howling at each and every opportunity they get.

So now this post is about a Cricketer who belongs to the second category, none other than the Great Indian World Cup winning hero, “Kapil Dev”, nobody in his sane mind would argue the fact that Mr. Kapil Dev Nikhanj was one of the best allrounder in his prime time and is arguably one of the best cricketer India has ever produced ( though I would say unarguably it is none other than Sachin but thats a matter of another strata), So i was coming to the greatness of the great man and as many people know that he was the record holder for maximum wickets until a gentleman by the name of Courtney Walsh grabbed it from him. Thing is I havent seen much of his cricket as he retired in 1994 and I started watching cricket in 1996 but there are some facts about him which don’t the later part of his career in bright light. For one, a fact is he got 250 of those wickets(251 to be exact) in the first five years of his career, that is from 78-83 and he was often accused of playing just to get the record but this is also not the main thing bothering me.

The main point of this post is his life after retirement, he is and will always be respected for his cricketing skills but if there is one man who has excelled in always making a fool out of himself is this particular great. Two images which always come to my mind when I think of Kapil Dev, one if ofcourse the young lad of 24 having a dazzling white smile and holding the Cricket World Cup trophy in his hand and the other is of a middle aged man crying in front of the whole world when questioned about his morality. Come on man you can expect an immature kid like Sreesanth to cry like a baby whose lollipo has been taken away but not a man who is been there, done that types.

But my dear friends, all this was past, the newest controversy which includes him is that supposedly a mural of the guy was removed from the PCA Stadium at Mohali and the day I read about this incident here, I was quite hurt at the supposed behaviour of BCCI, agreed he helped in starting ICL, but he is not a convict for God’s sake and he has his achievements which demanded that the mural which was there shouldnt have been removed from the place. As the news gathered some storm and everybody is getting to know about the fact so here we have Kapil Dev back again in the limelight.

The major tihng which surprises me is that a player of his stature whom everybody knows in this country is ruffled by such a small thing. Somehow he doesnt give you the sense of being a big person, he is still at the level of petty level who keep getting miffed by the actions of these petty people. He as one of the great cricketers of India souldnt have cared two hoots about things like this. He should have continued with his usual life, the way it was going on but he had to go to media had to create a “tamasha” and do everything in his power to make this as big an issue as possible.

One thing I am still not clear is what he wants. Cricinfo says that he just wants his memorabilia back from them which is not such a bad thing but this oucld have been done  in a more dignified manner and without involving the media into this. Another thing which is being shown in the news channels is that he wants the mural to be reinstated, if this is the case then I have no words to say about the greatness of such a person and would just say that rarely you will find such limelight hogging humbugs. Though I am still trying to be on the positive side and believing what is written in Cricinfo and not going with what is being shown in the news. Hope somebody who has TV can clarify what exactly the issue is,
