Painting the world RED!!!

I'm over the moon!!! yaaahhhhh!! For those of you who are wondering why.... here's the reason why...... First of all, Punjab Kings XI WON!!!! Yipeeeee! And it won against Mumbai....It was again people against me! And my team won, even though just by 1 run, victory in the end was ours! But I had to take this happiness wth a pinch of salt...... Irfan was fielding near the West Stand at Wankhede!!! Nahiiiiii....... I had gone for the Mum-Chennai match there and was in the same stand and the player fielding near the stand was the most clearly visible player!! Hard luck, I know... maybe next time!! But all in all my boys in RED won!! yo!! We're in the Semis!

Moving on to other good news.... Red Devils won!!! Yipee..... Man U won the Champions League playing against Chelsea in a nail biting match! The goal C.Ronaldo scored was worth a million bucks! But i guess he's going to Real Madrid.... so time to change loyalties..... maybe no! There migt be some other cool dude coming in Man U!All in all Man U won both the EPL and CL!

Its RED all the way this season!!

Its all evanescent after all.....

Its all evanescent after all,
The smiles,the sneers,the tears,
The climb, the fall,
The apprehensions, the fears,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
Its here today, gone tomorrow,
Having reached the top, you fall,
That's Destiny's way of making you bow,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
For nothing is permanent,
Even if you're drawn up against the wall,
Happiness, like sadness is immanent,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
It wasn't though, once upon a time,
Seemed like a road winding up a cliff, ending in a fall,
Little was known that falling ain't a crime,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
Friendships, relationships, love,
Relish the scrumptious meal,
Received from Fate's vast trove,
For you may never know when Fate seals it,
Its all evanescent after all

Its all evanescent after all,
They change the locks after you've found the key,
So what, you can still walk tall,
Thinking that you saved some other prey!!
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
Tears roll down,thinking of someone today,
Feeling the void like a gall,
Tears are going to be replaced with smiles one day,
WAIT... that's the key to life, the greatest ball,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
Don't give up, don't lose hope,
Be like the sun which survives night's perilous ride,
Hold on, cling on to the rope,
It may be the last straw, but it'll see you through the rough tide,
Its all evanescent after all.

Its all evanescent after all,
Its all ephemeral after all,
Its all temporary after all,
The only permanent things are HOPE and a little FAITH!!
For it'll be a new dawn tomorrow and you'll shine like the sun!!
They are not temporary,
They are not ephemeral,
They are not evanescent.......

MSD For PM 2009!!!

Keeping up with the IPL fever, I decided to dedicate this write up on IPL. And by gauging the response that I normally get when I talk about Cricket (Read:Irfan Pathan and Brett Lee!!!) I decided to go in for some aberrations!!

Well the people who know me will vouch for the fact that MSD isn't a player I'd cheer for, but yet he has something in him that is compelling me to write on him. He never appealed to me... not of all his blonde coloured mane, which he had when he first arrived on the circuit. The blitzkrieg 183 made me feel like asking the Govt. for a national holiday!

But really appealed to me was his natural ability to lead... It came so effortlessly to him! I'm sure his calm-as-a-silent-ocean demeanour will be stuff that people emulate. The fact that he goes by his instincts just adds to his rustic appeal. Of course those who say "Fortune favours the brave" haven't been just gaffing! He backs his team and has faith in them and stands up for them a la Sourav Ganguly. And the fact that he doesn't mince words is his best quality.... He wanted no seniors,he had it. They said he wouldn't get the T20 World Cup, after all how can he when the team with the seniors failed, how would the inexperienced "young" side get it? He maintained a dignified silence and let the Cup that he got back home do the talking! Not bad, I must say! The ability to keep his cool and to be able to THINK in crunch situations is gifted and MSD has it along with the flamboyance of a leader!

The main reason why I admire MSD is not for all the aforesaid things, but just one thing.... the ability to give it back to people and not take any bullshit from them! Remember the post match speech to Ravi Shastri after lifting the WC.... that's the thing that I look in people.... to be able to be politically incorrect, but in style! How I wish MSD succeeded Dr.Singh as the PM, I'm sure id this happens India will be a global power by 2010 and not the expected 2020, just like his style to finish of things fast! (There won't be a lacuna in the team with his departure, Irfan, I'm sure will be a worthy successor!!!!)

P.S: Aanchal, this is your wedding gift!! Don't expect anything materialistic from me on YOUR DAY as I believe in giving personalised gifts as such....!!!
