History junkie...

While in School Days,if one ask me "what's my favourite subject?",promptly I would say ,"History".I was so much preoccupied with the history books,that it ensued in passion reading them,even neglecting other sort of things that I do in leisure time.Thanks to our history teacher,the way he taught the subject was no less than watching a movie.Though I wasn't good at mugging the facts,but my obsession was to know about the lifestyle of the people of past.

I was in 6th class,when we had "Ancient India" as part of our history curriculum.I was immensely impressed by the once vibrant grandeur of Indus valley civilisation,that flourished in India some 4000 years ago.The photos of excavated ruins of the Harrapan and Mohanjodareo towns often made me to dream up the bygone chirrupy atmosphere in the streets.
The reasearch from the excavation yielded that the culture was very advanced and scientific.So sophisicated was their script that all research to decipher it are in vain uptill this date,one of the primary reason for our meagre knowledge about this civilisation.It is still uncertain what made them vanished,probable theory suggest mass devastation due to nature fury,or the invasion of Aryans from Middle East.I have all praise for the Harrapan despite knowing we are descendents of Aryans.Had the Harrapan survived India would have been far advanced than
any contemporary culture,far far ahead of America.

I am still amorous towards such ancient glorious civilisation.Thats the reason I have great taste towards movies of this genre,like Troy,LOTR,gladiator......the recent samsh-hit 300.I wish there some kind of time-machine which take me into the depth of the past and witness all such glorious events,infact not only be mere spectator rather mingle as part of their life.

Coming back to the present,I see life around me as illusive and mesmerising,but the virtue of simplicity,genuinity is fading very fast.

Sehwag back with a BANG!!!

The inning against Bermuda,must be a stern blow to all the critics of Sehwag who were condemning his inclusion in the World-Cup squad.Its the fact without any doubt,whenever Sehwag is in his nick,it always paved the way for Indian win.Out of his eight centuries,India was victorious in seven.The fiery start from Sehwag is a must for India,a firm root foundation on which other batsman can rely and play their natural game.Currently, he is the only batsman in Indian team with the right temperament and Aussies-like killer attitude.

Always hold his cool on the field, exhibiting his natural game,unleashing the fury of his willow on the opponent team.Remember the disgracing act of the Men in blue at the 2003 world-cup final.After a very pathetic show withbowl,they were supposed to chase a mommoth target of 360.Where all the other batsman had mentallyaccepted their defeat falling prey to Aussies without any fight,it was only Sehwag who with his one-man show tried to shattered the mightyAussies.Unfortunately,he was run out,had been it not,it would have been a close encounter.He made 82 of 81 balls slamming the Austalian bowlers,hitting 10 fours and 3 sixex in his inning.

Well,Dravid deserves a pat on his back for extending his only support to Sehwag,where
all were against him,the selection committe,all leading ex-cricketers and the Indian media
which for its own interest publish the recent Sehwag's dismal show with all spicy flavour.
Its really unusual about Indians,when a player is in his full fervor form,he is worshipped
as god,BUT when he underwent through a period of distress,instead of encouragement he is
abused and disgusted,and every effort is made to expel him out of the team.This is realy insane.
After all they are human beings not God and to err is human being.

I must be one among the most glad-fan for the revival of the tormentor "Sehwag".
Hope the tormentor would show India way to the world-cup final and bring the cup back home,where it deserve to be.

PS:World-Cup fever is on rise,I already got caught.Dont know how I am going to write end-sem.
