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.

You Do it For me. You name This.
As long as i can remember i always wanted to be an other ashok. In the process i lost myself. There was never a person called myself inside me. The myself was killed by an Ashok wannabe. And this, i realised from the wise words of my friend Aditya Sirish. As the brainy " I pity you sandeep and deekshith " has said Watching a Scorcese or a ray isn't a life changing experience. I most respectfully and the word i am using more frequently these days " with my head bowed in devotion " ask you, What is mate ? There are no Life changing experiences in this Cruel world. Woody Allen movies are an exception though. There is life and there also is experience. Both, put together i doubt they don't make best of pals. And you were also talking about Cigarette, dope and Anurag Kasyap. Who the Mother Fucking Dog Faced Ass hole Propagated the theory Anurag Kasyap = This + That - THIS * That.
Inferiority complex at it's bloody best?????. I honestly disagree with you mate. I have a complex but that " Jesus Fucking Tony Blair's Wife " Promise ain't an inferior one. Infact i have this disease of Looking down at People who aren't for real. I can't sit with a bunch of idiots and talk about some Sonuavabitch's girlfriend who has left him for an other probably a better sonuabitch. I've been friends with Vikranth for over a month now. Both of us had Problem's in the college. In real sense " had " suits him and " have " suits me. You probably know why i've said so. I ran away from people Whom i thought were no more precious than a Smelly underwear. Vikranth gave himself away to a bunch of smelly underwears. You, probably know this guy better than me. but, i'll tell you in vikranth i found a guy and this guy gave me hope that there still are some people with whom i can talk my heart out.
Scorcese and ray aren't Life changing neither are Steve fucking job's and gates. So mate stop pitying other's. Self Pity would Serve some purpose. That apology thing is the best thing i've done recently. I owed you an Apology but not anymore.
If two men among you are guilty of lewdness. punish them both. If they repent and amend. Leave them alone. For Allah is Oft returning and Mercifull....Quran-E-Khalifa

Sirish's Response To Confession's Of A Stupid Mind.
rofl! gorrepati, you still surprise me. i didn't comment on this post back then because i thought i'd say something out of anger or hatred. but now, i'm not scared that my emotions are coming into my mind. i don't have to tell you this but then i pity both you and your 'shit' friend. watching scorsese, or ray, or a fincher aren'tlife changing experiences. and smoking or drinking won't turn you into anurag kashyaps. you know what the problem with you folks is, and mind you this is the first time i'm actually being a li'l rude, both you and your 'shit' friend are wannabes. i haven't met your brother but then for all i can see, you wanna be like him and you 'shit' friend wants to be like you. inferiority complex at its bloody best. and the moment you spoke like that about a friend on your blog, whatever i thought about you, all that went into the drain. even if you are bachchan, you don't write such things about your friend(and here i'm just talking about dixit) and later, meet him and talk to him. for that ability, hats off. and i have no clue why dixit still talks to you. even after what all you called him. weird. i thought this kind of friendship belonged to yashraj films.

The Confession's Of A Stupid Mind.
Stroke of genius
Brilliant! Having read this piece, I'm not even eligible to comment on it. Once I started reading this, I didn't even breathe until I finished it. Genius. I'm actually in the midst of watching Green Street Hooligans and as irresistible as the movie is, I pause to confirm a date tomorrow with this creature called gorrepati sandeep. Someone I've heard of about a lot but never have actually spoken to. It wouldn't be an understatement to say that Deekshit and probably Raghav worship him and I know they'd proudly accept this. Anyway, he started blogging like a month ago and I generally like his work, especially the carefree, lazy way in which he does that. Anyway, I read his latest piece like 5 minutes ago and I'm in a state of daze. Holy crap! That was amazing. Gorrepati, I bow down to you.
Here it goes.
http://gorrepati-dirtyharry.blogspot.com/2009/10/interview.html
Folks, don't waste no more time and read it. You've sinned enough already without having read it and trust me, you'll feel something you've never felt before
This was written by Aditya Sirish in response to my blog The Interview. Sirish, was the first person to follow my blog's. Free Running Life is the very reason why Nicotine And Gravy earlier called Dirty Harry was born and still existing. I owe it all to him. It all started with my Shitty blog " Fury " and this created a rift between us. Fury was written by me in one of those weak moments a person Experiences when he's low down in his life. I abused this guy for absolutely no fucking relevant reason. but, this guy definetely know's the definition of Dignity. He didn't get back at me. Instead he remained silent and i fucking took it for his Defeat. When i look back at it i realise that silence meant a thousand " Mother fucker " " Sonuavabitch " or whatever he's Comfortable with. That Silence was powerful.
Myself and Sirish are two different person's with two different view's on this shit they call the world. Read in a recent kiarostami interview that a naked human eye can visualise a 200 degree view where as an earlier Camera summed up to only 28 degree.. Now, which fucking human would know the angle from which they see this world.
Yesterday, i was going through the file of my blog's and saw this " The Stroke Of Genius ". How many people would do that. How many would go to this extent to appreciate the work of a person they barely know. I wouldn't have done that if i was Sirish and he Sandeep.
This is the closest i could get to an Apology. If there's any faintest chance of forgiveness then forgive me.......Sandeep.

The Great Indian Rock Movement.
These days people seem to breathe metal. metal's in the air. metal seems to be everywhere i go. though not a big fan of metal. I would most certainly see it to it that my knees touch the ground and head bow in devotion to anyone who could strum a guitar. Rock's something which ain't completly new to us. Rock movement has started in india back then in the 60's. The 60's indian bands like The Mystiks from bombay. beatx from calcutta and the flinstone's from madras have enjoyed notable success during their period. They were regularly seen playing on the indian university music circuits. The all india radio dedicated an hour a day to play pop music. My brother always wished that he was one among those 60's youth with a hippie cut and a beard that could scare the shit out of a child. People back then had thing's which money couldn't buy us now. They knew they were on to something big. And now, after everything's been done we have nothing left to look out for. shit, coming back to the 60's rock shit. U.s had rolling stones which made Rockstar's out of garage band's overnight. NME did the same to U.K band's. On these lines was formed Junior Statesman which closely followed the Indian rock culture in the 60's but to lesser success, almost empty success. Because there never existed a culture to follow. Because all that these bands did was play western music which topped the chart's. 60's also saw a great movement. The movement which involved Band's like the Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and The Byrds getting influenced by indian classic music. Music critics cite this movement as something which was undertaken to create and reinforce psychedelia in their music.
The 70's 80's didn't contribute much to the Indian Rock Movement. The atmosphere was rather dull until the 90's when the orientalist trend of the 60's, 70's and 80's came to an end. India began to produce Rock Music of it's own. With the invasion of band's like rock machine. The rock movement gained some momentum. Not just rock but the sub-genre's alternative and progressive covered some ground in the 90's. " Raga Rock " a blend of rock and classic indian music which was started back then in the 60's gained more popularity in the 90's. and this is considered as an important achievement in Indian rock history. " Euphoria " a delhi born rock band that specialises in Raga Rock was born in the 90's. The band was the First indian band which mixed Electric guitar with traditional indian tabla and dholak to applauding and mesmerising effect's. The band's first album Dhoom became such a big hit that Fan's created a name for themselves and even now Euphoria fan's are called the " Dhoomers".
2000 saw the invasion of heavy metal into the blood of Indian Rock Culture. Delhi has been the homeland of some of the most talented and super successful indian rock band's.
" Parikrama " the delhi based superstar's of indian rock were formed in the 90's but gained stardom in the 2000's. 2000 also saw the birth of band's like menwhopause, them clones and Indian Ocean in delhi. Rock Scenes have proved to be more than just a great paltform for up coming rockband's. The first major Rock scene " Great indian rock festival " started in calcutta followed by " Independence Rock festival " in mumbai" and " June out rock " in chennai. These Rock scenes met with a tremendous Success. We had everything except a journal which covered all these and made it public. and this hole was blocked by the " Rock Street Journal " the first ever exclusive rock magazine that covered a to z of rock. Not to forget " Vedic Metal " the sub genre of indian rock which was first of it's kind and coupled rock music with vedic lyrics. Rudra is the first indian vedic rock band which was followed by others like aryaveda, asura, advaita, kaliyuga and narasimha the band.
Indian Rock today has definetly made it's ground. With rock band's playing music in their regional languages. Avial has started this in kerala and achieved a cult status. Would definetly love to see a rock band that play's in telugu.
The 70's 80's didn't contribute much to the Indian Rock Movement. The atmosphere was rather dull until the 90's when the orientalist trend of the 60's, 70's and 80's came to an end.

The band's first album Dhoom became such a big hit that Fan's created a name for themselves and even now Euphoria fan's are called the " Dhoomers".
2000 saw the invasion of heavy metal into the blood of Indian Rock Culture. Delhi has been the homeland of some of the most talented and super successful indian rock band's.
" Parikrama " the delhi based superstar's of indian rock were formed in the 90's but gained stardom in the 2000's. 2000 also saw the birth of band's like menwhopause, them clones and Indian Ocean in delhi. Rock Scenes have proved to be more than just a great paltform for up coming rockband's. The first major Rock scene " Great indian rock festival " started in calcutta followed by " Independence Rock festival " in mumbai" and " June out rock " in chennai. These Rock scenes met with a tremendous Success. We had everything except a journal which covered all these and made it public. and this hole was blocked by the " Rock Street Journal " the first ever exclusive rock magazine that covered a to z of rock. Not to forget " Vedic Metal " the sub genre of indian rock which was first of it's kind and coupled rock music with vedic lyrics. Rudra is the first indian vedic rock band which was followed by others like aryaveda, asura, advaita, kaliyuga and narasimha the band.
Indian Rock today has definetly made it's ground. With rock band's playing music in their regional languages. Avial has started this in kerala and achieved a cult status. Would definetly love to see a rock band that play's in telugu.
