A boy named prince in the well in Kurupshtetra and the Simpsons

Sometimes imagination and creativity can precede reality. What we saw on TV recently (last week) was already a part of TV and a event like boy falling in the well had already happened before. But there in lies the difference.

Let me put it across to you and explain what I have observed and what amazes me. I am amazed that the boy in the well was a top media story here in India and who they rescued him became the rage in the country. Perhaps ever one saw those eyes staring at the camera and compared it with their own child's eyes.
But this has happened before in Animation series the Simpsons where Bart Simpson (throws his walky talky in the well) and the whole town tries to save the small boy from the well.
So I conclude that creativity can indeed be ahead of reality and things can happen in similar fashion in reel as well as real.

Well Sachin is fit again and for once 3 Mumbai players are in the team. That makes me happy as I wanted him to be back and now I do hope that he clicks for the team and does well.

As far as Mumbai is concerned I feel sad that these blasts happened killing so many innocent people. I strongly condemn these terrorist and hope that the God whom they believe in himself slaps them hard on their cheeks on judment day. I personally did not get affected so did I. Now I am alarmed to be in a crowded place in this city because I fear that I may lose my head some day. I donated blood but is that enough from my part for the city? I do not know.

So in memory of this tradedy and also for the loss of a beloved poet Jwalamukhi.
Here is an inprompto poem dedicated to all who have suffered.
Ek Jwalamukhi ayse phata ki suraj ko woh nigal gaya
Uske nafrat ke lava ne hamara har sukh cheen gaya
Na raha bas na baji basuri
Na rahi jaan na nikali awaj
Ese tabahi par jab lava fhehala
sab kuch normal ho gaya
Fir yadeein rahi wun jaano ki
wun raho hi wus seher ki
jo waha fula karte the.

Jwalamukhi ayse phata
timer lagakar
din dahade
ki dahta suraj ek Khaufnat maut ban gaya.

Peril in the pipeline.

The funny part is that the roads in Mumbai are digged again and this time it is for the pipes, God knows what these pipes are for. But any way firstly they make good roads (exagreration : the roads made were bearable, drivable but not smooth or good). and then they dig it out for telephone lines, cables, pipes and some other things. I felt the co ordination lacks and hence the departments do what they want to do and this really wastes the time and money. And do not forgot that this money is ours.
I will also like to bring in here to your attention,(sorry for the preechy tone) the Belapur road subway road under the central railway bridge. This road is 2 lane bearly and always causes bottle neck, traffic jam and thus is a inconvinent. And this problem seems unsolvable as how would you stop the central railway line after Thane station to widen this road below that bridge.
But the solution is as simple as they can be. Just divert the trains to Konkan railway bridge and join them up with Kalwa station and then - widen the road/ construct a new bridge/ whatever applicable can be done on the belapur road. But this would not happen either. No co ordination amongst the departments. Are there any listeners out there ?

Sachin has not lost it.

I felt that all this talk about Sachin failing as a batsmen is really unfair. Agreed that his batting average in last 10 test innings turns out as 18.88. with 10 inns, 1 not out included. Does this mean that he has to improve and play sensible cricket, oh yes but saying that he has lost it and is not consistant enough is wrong as he has been a major consistent player up till now and I am sure he would continue to be so. And if people say Dravid is more consistent - good for India but don't pressurize Sachin. And ofcourse sachin is a mortal and he was never a God so saying that he joins mortals is funny rather than a issue. He is a great mortal though and this won't and shouldn't change no matter what he does from now on.
