My Brother Has Made It. The King Has Finally Got What He Deserved ( Or, Is This Just The Beginning ). I've Always Basked In The Glory Of His Every Success. People ( Those Who Call Themselve's " Family " ) Have Always Spoken Low About Me Drawing Comparision's With My Brother. But Never did Any Of Those Low Remark's Made Me Feel Bad Because I've Been Compared With Him. He's The Limit You Could Ever Get Yourself Compared To And I Was More Happy About The Fact Of Being Compared Than Feeling Bad About Falling Short Of Him. Everyone Even The God Himself Fall's Short Of The Limit. He's Everything I Ever Wanted To Be.
It Was The Day Of The Eamcet Result And Everyone was Visibly Tense. My Usually Calm Dad Wasn't Just Himself That Day. He Was reluctant To Lift The Phone At the Fear Of Hearing Something Which Wouldn't Please His Ears. Slowly Unable To Digest The Excitement I Urged My Brother To Accompany Me To The Cyber Cafe ( It Was His Result And i Was making a Messy fuss ). Brother Seemed Surprisingly Calm And Lazily Accompanied Me To the Net. It Was Overcrowded, Finally I Managed To Occupy a Cabin. There We Were In a Tiny Cabin With My Heart Thudding Faster than Normal I Was Afraid It Would Burst Open Any Moment. Reluctantly We Opened the Site And I Started Typing The Ticket No ( Heart Thudding Even Faster Than Earlier ). Pressed The Enter Button And It Took a While To Display The Result, And When It Did It Took Me Sometime To Make Out the Number Displayed In The Box Entitled Rank. Finally I spelled It Out " 392 ", Followed By a Hi-Fi We Made Our Way Back Home. People Woudn't Beleive Me When I say " Parent's and Other's ( The Family ) Were Dissapointed To Know That He Was Able To Secure Only a 392. Same Was The Case With his gre Score. My Brother Wanted To Take His Gre Again Because HE Managed To Score a Meagre 1500 ( 780-MATH aND 720- VERBAL ).
Though He Troubled himself a bit Throughout His B-tech. He Has Struck Back With Vengeance ( A Part of The Family Was Happy Because He Was Falling Apart In His B.Tech ). Now Earning More Than 72,000$ (u.S) Per Year. The Brother's Destined To Acheive More.

CLENCH YOUR FISTS, GRIT YOUR TEETH AND HIT THEM BACK
Sledging's Been In The Flesh And Blood Of Cricket As Long As The Memory Of Einstein Could Go Back To. Although a Gentlemen Game By Nature The Temper's Have Ocasionally Risen in This Otherwise Peacefull Game Of Cricket.
1. Glenn Mcgrath Vs Edo Brandes.
Glenn Mcgrath The Spearhead Of Australian Bowling Attack For Almost a Decade And Half is Known to Have got a Razor Sharp Tongue When It Came to Sledging.
It Was a Rather Insignificant Match. The Mighty Australians Versus the Minnows Zimbabwe. Goliath Taking On David Although This Time Goliath Would Emerge As The Winner And History Would Be Reversed.
After Spitting Fire With Ball Mcgrath Thought it Was Time For Some Fire From His Tongue. He Walked Down to The End Of Striker Who Happened To Be Eddo Brandes and Exchanged Some Words " Oye Brandes, How Come You Are so Fat Bastard ". The Normally Cheerful Brandes Took Offence And Shouted At The Top Of His Voice " Everytime I Fuck Your Wife, She Gives me a Biscuit " Sending The Whole Australian Team Into Hysterics.
2. Ricky Ponting Vs Shaun Pollock.
An Australian Again!. It Was an Evenly Posed Match. The Mighty South Africans Taking On The The Almighty Australians. Having Won The Toss Not So Surprisingly On a Batsmen Friendly Wicket Rickey Ponting Choose To Bat First. But, Surprisingly Came Out To Open The Innings With Adam Gilchrist. After Losing Some Early Wickets To Pollock And Ntini. Ponting Was Batting On a Carefull Note. Pollock On The Other End made The Most Of It And was Bowling At His Bloody Best. After One Such Maiden Over Most Of Which Went Untouched To The Keeper. Pollock Walked Over To Ponting To Have a Chat " It's Red, Round And Weighs About Five Ounces Hope You See It This Time ". And The Next Time Pollock Came To Bowl, Ponting sent the Ball Flying Out Of The Ground And This Time It Was Ponting's Turn To Have a Chat " Now, As You Know How It Look's Go Find It ". Never Take On The Australians Mate Atleast Verbally.
3. Merv Hughes Vs Vivian Richards.
Shit Man An Australian Yet Again!!!. There's Something Wrong With The Australians Or The Rest Of The World.
This Time It's The Almighty Windies Against The Foul Mouthed Mighty Australian's. Viv Richard's Was Known For His Deadly Stare. Everytime a Bowler Acheives Some Success Against Him, The Bowler's Treated To His Deadly Stare. But This Time Merv Hughes The Heavy Built Moustached Australian Quickie Seemed To Have Developed a Similar Habit Of Staring. A Visibly Irritated Vivian Walked Down To Him And Spoke These Word's " This is My Island, These Are My People And My Culture. In My Culture You Don't Stare. You Just Bowl ". Later In The Match After Trapping Richards In Front Of The Wicket Merv Hughes Was Beleived To Have Said " In My Culture We Just Say FUCK OFF ".

The Witty Side Of Cricket.
Just Can't Stop Myself From Writing About Cricket After Putting Down The Seventh Consecutive Book About Cricket To Rest. Here Below Are Some Of The Most Memorable Quotes.
1. Richie Benaud.
Richie Benaud ( The Most Celebrated Australian Leg Spinner And Charismatic Commentator ). The Introduction is Purely Unnecessary Because There Wouldn't Be a Cricket Loving Soul Ignorant Of The Name ( Deekshith kasyap? ).
Boycot and Benaud Were Discussing About The Future Of Test Cricket In an Era Dominated by The Twenty Over Game. Boycott Expressing His Deep Regret Over The Possible Extinction Of the Long Form Of Game Indicated That Cricketing Fans All Over Who Have been Overdosed With Twenty Over Format May Gain Interest In the Long Form By Cutting Down The Customary Five Days Into Four. He Also Pointed Out That Many Test Matches Even Those Played In The Ashes Are Turning Out To Be an Extreme Bore To Watch. Richie Benaud All The While Listening With Rapt Attention Turned To The Camera and Spoke These Memorable Word's " WHO MADE THEM BORING GEOFFY? ".
For Those Of You Who Haven't Got a Clue About Boycott's Cricketing Days. Here's a Small Portrayal. Boycott Also Known As The Most Selfish And Boring Englishman To Have Ever Played Cricket Once Opened The Innings For England In a Test Match Against West Indies And Went On To Play The Five Day Duration Of The Test And Thus Becoming The Only Batsman To Have Played All Through The Duration Of a Test Match. There's Nothing More Valuable To Boycott Than His Wicket. " He Used To Guard His Wicket As Though His Entire Life Depended On It " Spoken By an Old Surrey Team Mate Of Boycott.
2. A Spectator Watching The 1938 Ashes Clash.
As Legend Has It, The Story Has Been Told And Retold But The Authenticity Is Doubted.
A Fifty Year Old Man Left His House On The Second Day Of an Ashes Test To Watch Len Hutton Live in The Lords. He Told His Wife and Fouteen Year Old Son That He Would Come Home Late. In The Afternnon His Fourteen Year Old Son Came Running And Conveyed a Bad News " Dad, Mom's gone With The Butcher. I'm Sorry To Tell You This ". And The Father Replied " Dont Be Sorry Son, I've Got a Terrible News For You. Len Hutton's Just Been Bowled By That Jardine Fellow".
3. Ian Botham On Gatting.
Mike Gatting, The Former Captain Of England Was Recently Honoured ( Mocked? ) By Wisden AS The Most Obese Sportsman in the History Of The Game.
While In His Tenure As The Captain of England Cricket Team Gatting Once Faced Charges Of Sexually Assaulting a Bar Maid. The English Team Stood By It's Captain All Through The Length Of The Hearing. Ian Botham Made This Memorable Statement In Support Of His Captain
" Anything Gatty Takes Upto His Room After Nine, He Eats. And The Bar maid's Still Alive, Isn't She? ". The Charges Were Dropped Soon After And Gatting Started From Where He Left As The captain Of England.

Greatest Cricketing moments Ever..
1. Windies vs England-1984.
The Day Started Like any other normal cricketing day for the west indian viv richards but little did he know that the day would go down in the history of cricket as a witness to one of the most brutalising, Demoralising ( For the opponent ).Attacking and splendid display of fireworks From the piece of wood in his hand. West indies Considered the most Dangerous Cricket team, Were at their Peak in 80's. The Bowling Attack boasting the like's of Garner, roberts, holding, Marshal have given many a batsmen Nightmares in Broad Day Light. But, That Day Thing's Seemed to Be going Out of their hand's as the Mighty Windies Batting Was Humbled By The English Team and the Carribeans were Limping At 102 for 7. But the Demon " Master Blaster " Was Still At The Crease Chewing a Wad Of Gum. Roberts Joined him at the Crease After Botham Dispatched King to the Pavillion With a Fire Ball Of a Delivery. And What Followed is a Blitzkrieg, The World of cricket has Witnessed for the Very First Time. Viv Ended his Innings Unbeaten At 189 With 28 Boundaries, 4 of them Flying Over The Rope. The 189 Remained The Highest individual Score In a Limited Over International Until Saeed Anwar Got Past it.
2. India Vs Windies.
Sunil " Sunny " Gavaskar. The 5 Feet 4 Inch Little Superstar Has played Many Memorable Innings Worthy Of a Mention. It Took Me Better Part an hour to Finalise on This Particulat Gem Of an innings . India Were Three Down For a Nought and Sunny Who Normally Opens the Innings For India Came At Number 4 For Some Reasons Which Only Those People In the Dressing Room Would be able to tell. On his Way To the Crease He was Sledged By Richard's Which Later Sunny Light Heartedly Revealed in his Autobiography " No Matter When You Come Out To Bat The Score Card would Still Read Zero". Sunny To the Surprise of All Those Watching the Match Remained Silent ( Critics Beleive Sunny To be the Most Agressive Indian Cricketer ever). Sunny Went on To Score 246 Against an Attack Still Considered The Greatest To Have Ever Prevailed in the History Of Cricket. The Critics Were not Mistaken At the Close of The Play sunny Went Upto Viv " There Must Have Been a Mistake Viv The Score Card's Not Reading Zero Anymore ".
3. India vs Zimbabwe.
india were 5 down and the score card read 17. the radios were switched off and the people carried on with their work cursing all five now, sitting pretty in the dressing room. and then came the captain who went on to play this innings which later on gave birth to the term "captains knock".
the captain i am talking about is kapil dev and the blitzkreig took place during the quarterfanal against zimbawbe in the 1983 prudential world cup.
the innings included a tally of 11 sixes and 14 fours and kapil alone scored 175 in indias score of 238. india won the game and eventually went on to win the world cup.
unfortunately this spectacle was not caught on camera. the british broadcasting company in short bbc played the spoil sport and the reason being a salary hike strike by its employees.
and, the lucky indian supporters present their watching the match live are still unable to forget the innings which produced goosebumps and sent down a chill down their spine.
"that 175 has to be the greatest innings in the worldcup" later, wrote gavaskar in his autobiography and quiet evidently it was included and placed at no.4 in the compilation of wisdens top 10 cricketing performances of all time.
on the whole post league stage it was all kapils show "the 175 got us into the semi finals and that catch(richards) got us the final".
this has got to be the greatest innings ever played.......
4. Australia Vs England.
Wunderkids Are Born only Once in a while. 1989 Has Seen The Birth Of Sachin ( Though It was 1990, When he Actually Proved He Was a Wunderkid). 1993 Saw The Birth Of an Other Wunderkid But This Time It Was Of an Australian Orgin And Called It Self " Shane Warne ".
It Was in The Ashes That Warne Has Unraveled His Spin Wizardy. The First Two Tests Were Rater Forgettable Which didn't Showcase Or Portray a Genius in making. But, The Third Test Has Sent Out a Message to the World " Wunderkid Has Finally Arrived ". Warne " Warned" The World Of his Arrival With a Wunderball, Pitched Out side the off stump The Ball Sneaked in Between Gatting's Bat And Pad Before Crashing into the Wickets. Gatting After Checking With the Umpire Twice Left The Crease With a Bewildered Expression On his Face.
