Friendship, the foremost relation which is the basic of all other type of relation. Wife wanted her husband to be her best friend, wards want their parent to be their best friend even nations wanted to promote friendship among them selves. Some even says that LOVE starts from friendship. I am here, going to tell a story about the same subject.
There were lot of film in Indian cinema and literature, telling the stories of friends and their friendship.
Even I have a story with me which I have lived and still living on. It is about a real big chunk of Friends (I would like to call them Buddies) with different religion, different culture and different Size.
This Group of Buddies had originated from the very famous college in Kalady, Kerala; “Sree Sankara College”. This college is very famous under the Mahatma Gandhi University.
Firstly, Buddies included total of 11 members. Most them had their started their journey as Buddies from their school days. And rest of them joint when they reached the college.
After completing the Under Graduation, as each and every average college pass out in Kerala, they have started thinking how to and where to enjoy the next 3 years of PG. They have worked out lot of options and came up with one “As a proud Mallu, we will do the same thing as each and every Mallu is suppose to do after the UG. Try for a professional course out side Kerala”. The main reason for this was another thing. There where real scarcity for professional colleges in Kerala and our buddies were more than what those colleges in Kerala can bear with.
So they have started looking for the next gracing ground. And they had found one which will be suitable for them and for the parent’s pocket. Sree Saraswathi Thyagaraja College, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu.
They all had decided they will take MCA as their PG. Even the member who had done Chemistry and Commerce as their subject in UG went for that, even though they know that it will be a Himalayan task for them. See the bond of friendship and trust among them.
Few of the members of the buddies were friend of my friend. They had contacted my friend asking whether he is ready to join them for this new venture. He readily agreed as he was once the part of this Buddy group. As he is going to join them he put forward an invitation for me also to join, as I have been his buddy for the last three years before this. After a long thought, and discussion with my sponsor (Father) had agreed to go for it.
Thus I was destined to join the Buddies as one of them, and I was always top of them ( in sense of height).
My friend had given me an intro about this group, how they were in the college and how intimate they are among themselves. This made me really curious to meet the Buddies and eagerly waiting to be one of them.

The dirt fight.........
Cricket, now days it is becoming more and more hot..........
Now the player (so called Mafia as per the coach) had come out to play their role after the coach.........
Let us go through some their comments.........
First pick Sachin :
Sachin : "the team was united. I would prefer that the team stays united. These (reports that there were differences between seniors and juniors) all rumors."
"The reality is otherwise. Youngsters are all part of us. It is not like that (fighting). We are extremely close and we are like friends, no matter what X, Y, Z may say".
My thought : "Okay fine, the team should be united, that is what every average Indian is asking from you guys. And please understand that it is the first thing which is needed in the success of a team. Don’t reinvent the wheel. When all others who claim them self’s as observers of Indian cricket admit that there was a split in the team how you can turn your back on them like this. There won’t be any smoke with out a fire."
Sachin : "This has never been my language. It is not my nature to get into fight with anyone. If the coach had said that, I am hurt."
My thought: "Buddy what you think about yourself? You are the only human being with emotion here. Just think about the amount of Emotion building up each time when you and your mafia let India down in each tournament. COME ON, DONT ACT SMART"
Sachin : "I am not against anyone. I have no rift with anybody. These are rumours"
My thought : "it is high time for you to see a doctor, I strongly belive you have some Psychological problem. Or trying to act Gandhi"
Sachin : "I do not think it is correct. Seniors always encourage juniors. We joke around, we always walk up to them , tell them what they should do. If there is something wrong with me, you should also tell me."
My thought : "Now you came to the point. Team building, in your term might be joking around and giving advice to the juniors. For your update, it contributes only to the ten percent of it. You only told that they also should tell you what is wrong with you. Your language states that they are not doing that. Have you ever tried to know why? Where you have the time for that.? Ads, new brand ambassador agreements and lot of matches to let our head down. Great buddy"
Sachin : "I think the last ten days have been terrible. It was nation's dream to win and bring back the Cup. The team worked hard for it. But it was shattered in seven days. It was one bad day against Bangladesh and again against Sri Lanka."
My thought : " For your kind info, this was the condition of each and every Crick Crazy for the last two year, what you have to tell about that? It might be one bad day for you people against Bangladesh and Srilanka, but for us it is going to be 8 years till the next world cup. What you have to say about that?"
Sachin : "it was hugely disappointing. We have disappointed nation's hopes and expectations and we have not been able to live up to its expectations. We will regroup and play and give happiness to the country".
My thought : "At last you said that, why what happened when you and the mafia lost the other entire tournament in the last two years. At that time you were not disappointed or what?. I am damn sure that you people will be rejoining and playing, who are you tell that you will be giving happiness to the people. Hey buddy, for your kind info, it is us who have to feel that emotion. You can’t come and tickle us to make us Happy. COME ON"
Sachin : "I am sure it was extremely sad because nobody in our wildest dreams thought that we could be back so early. And this is beyond imagination."
My thought : "A good fighter should expect the unexpected. Tell me where you have completed your schooling? Shame on you. Over confidence is one of your enemy, realize that at least now."
Sachin : "We want to tell the fans that we are extremely sorry for having disappointed the entire nation and all the hopes were on us and we were not able to live up to expectations"
My thought : "Indians are well known for their tolerance level, apology accepted. So what is your next plan. Sorry you have already told that "REUNITE AND PLAY". What ever..........."
Sachin : "All we need at this point of time is your support and your good wishes because it means so much to the players when you know that the entire nation is with you, behind you and wishing well for you."
My thought : "I just want to make a correction to your message, so that it looks more true and realistic.."All we need at this point of time is your support (watch the each and every match and the especially the ads coming in between) and your good wishes because it means so much (Money, Publicity , High end cars and High class living) to the players when you know that the entire nation is with you, behind you and wishing well for you.""
Second Pick Kumble (So called Jumbo by Media):
Kumble : "Yeah, probably because of the way he has approached. That is his style, that is the way he has approached," he told NDTV when asked if there was a feeling among players that they were more insecure under Chappell."
My thought : "Come on YAR. I thought you will be wiser than the other waste in the team. What were you doing till this time? You would have realized that it is your responsibility to keep the team in good health. With out doing your duty how can you blame on other work. Stop this bullshit"
Third Pick Sidhu :
(Any way he is not involved directly to this situation, but his comment is interesting)
Sidhu : Commenting on the Chappell-Tendulkar controversy, former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu said these things should be discussed in the dressing room. "When it gets into the open, it is in bad taste."
My thought : "We call such things SHIT, Which type of SHIT, you name it."
Sidhu : Sidhu said that Chappell has not commented so far and he has not blamed anyone openly. "It is all speculation. So let's not read too much into it."
My thought : " Chappell had not commented on the premature exit of TEAM INDIA from WC. SO that is also a Speculation or WHAT?....Ladega tho jeethega"
Forth Pick Ajay Jadeja:
Jedeja : "there has never been a doubt on his integrity, his credibility. There won't be a single day when Sachin Tendulkar's comment has changed."
My thought : "Can you please tell me when he had commented before, these all issue become so worst only because they have not carried out their responsibility over the team. He would have comment long time ago, not after when he is getting affected. We call it selfishness"
Jadeja : "I am actually happy to see Tendulkar come out and speak as well"
My thought : "So my suspicion was true he had some psychological problem before. He should he thankful to Chappell for correcting it."

Am going home today, I just wanted to be away from all these craps. Going to have a nice three days and two nights there. :-)

Indian Cricket VS Indian Politics.
After along time am going to add something to the blog....hope so............
Topic: Indian Cricket VS Indian Politics.
All around the world Indian Cricket had got a large crowd pull. And when the match is with Pakistan, always break the record of spectators.
Indian cricket had been the most fascinating and unpredictable experience for the cricket crazies all over the world. This am talking about, 10 to 12 years ago. Unimaginable records, team full of captains, daring team to play with...this have been the reputation of India at that time.
Come to the present now. A team full of controversies, speculations and leg pulling games inside the game of cricket.
What might have caused this situation?
The problem of Indian cricket is very simple. Politics (this my view, readers discretion is invited), the very same venom which had made India lag behind all the other countries even though it had got freedom 50 years ago. Am not ready to blame the entire political spectrum here. There have been good politics which had done a lot for the people here. So what politics am talking about?
Even every average man in India knows what am talking about, but they often ignore that.
Coming back to the main stream of discussion, cricket. Just take the case of the cricket control board. All the top members of the selection board is having a political background. They have the awesome real time experience of take the cricket bat and wicket to attack other Party member and public on the street. WOW What a qualification for the position? Okay I agree that they are not personally involved in this, but they make their comrades do that for them. With this awesome experience they became the head of the control board.
We can see politics from the very starting of the selection of talent pool from all over India. These people are really the follower of Old British philosophy (no offence). "DIVIDE AND RULE". They have divided India into Zones. The best teams from these zones will be playing among each other and talent pool is been made.
For decades we have been seeing that there is no participation or least participation from most of the zones in the Indian team. What is going wrong here?......Yes again politics. If you take the history of Indian cricket you will see that most of the player are from northern India, specifically telling north west. One more trivia is that the control board is located in north west. It cannot be told as no one had seen this for decades.
One of most earning organization in India BCCI, the ultimate controlling power over Indian cricket. I am not getting to the point that they haven’t done any thing, I am just curious whether they have done it with out any discrimination and partiality. They have a strong point that they have a top down approach in building up the cricket future in India. There is no idea even with the tax department where these money is going. Again one of the Specific characteristics of Politics (lack of transparency).
There is very strong allegation from the Indian cricket coach that the Seniors in the team are not allowing the new talents to enter the ring. One of the most respected cricket critic had simplified this just saying "it is a human instinct, survival". he might have forgotten the Darwin’s theory, “Survival of the fittest". The lack of thought into this had been reflecting in the overseas series which India had lost in last few years. The reason for the loss: "Survival of the fittest" was playing a great role over there. Go against the law pay the price. If you take the case of politics, there also this problem is there. Family politics, Criminal politics and the old player restricting new talents. When they will be aware that the time is going forward not backwards. Even you can see the same Backward approach in naming the Indian team as “Team India”. What nonsense.
Now the top guns of the BCCI is stating that it is time for us to go for a Indian coach. So the obvious question was raised, why they didn’t thought about it before. Again came the great explanation, "Indian coach doesn’t had the advanced coaching techniques". Why this happened? I will feel shame to say that am not educated. Why these people have no shame or what? Cricket had been played here for decades and even before freedom. Then why Australia and the other countries have all the latest technology and India don’t have. India had always produced the great talent from time to time, who had given several memorable moment to be cherished. Then why the technology didn’t grow. There is a great demand for the Kashmiri Willow bat all over India. Why this was not promoted with the latest technology. Guys............Have we gone mad. Why these so called representative of cricket is SPITING UPWARDS which is eventually going to be end up on their face itself. The same happens in the politics. People of the same party criticizes the other counterpart without thinking that ultimately they are one team.
I remember one of my friend "Gireesh" at this time. During the summer vacation I wont keep any alarm to get up in the morning, b'coz this friend of mine will always used wake me up exactly at 6:00 am. Why?. He was a die hard cricket fan and he wanted me to join him for the practice. He was not there for any team, but he worshiped cricket more than any God. There are millions of such Devotees all over the world.
I don’t want to come to any conclusion right now, I know that will be again a disappointment for me. Let the time or the devotees decide what should be the future of Indian Cricket
BUT ONE THING IS SURE. EVERY ONE WHO HAD HOPE IN INDIAN CRICKET IS NOW LOOSING IT. INDIAN CRICKET IS LOOSING THE CONFIDENCE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME, WHO NOW NEVER WANT TO KEEP HOPE IN INDIAN CRICKET AGAIN.

Why me lord...........
Another day at the office. As usual there is no work, for the time being.
Got a subject to start with……….
Train trip from Kerala to Chennai. Yes, it will be the perfect subject for this time.
The train was on Monday evening, 22nd of Jan.
From morning onwards I was really busy inviting friends and their family for the marriage. Was driving for the entire day and also had to go for marriage shopping. I haven’t faced such a busy day in my life.
I reached home after the shopping by 4.45 pm. The train is by 5.55pm from Aluva, 45 minute drive from my place. I planned of going by Scooter as there is no one to get the car back to house. Then my father and I left the house by 5:10. I was really rushing through the road. I couldn’t check the speed pf the scooter as the Speedo meter was down. I remember that we had over taken one of the toddy cabs, which is been famous in Kerala for the speed and careless driving. So I guess I had reached the speed of 90 km/hr that too in an Activa. With god’s grace we reached the station with out any scratch.
Now the time is 5.45, I have to rush to the platform as I heard the announcement of the train to be reaching shortly. I told bye to my father and ran to the Platform number three.
Usually we used to cross the rail to get to the next platform, even I tried the same. But this time a police man caught me. I don’t know how he chose me so perfectly. I told him that my train is on the way I have to cross and he never heard me. As the there is no time for argument I opted to take the fly over for pedestrians. Literally I have to run through all the steps. By the time I reached there I could see the train coming.
I was standing some where in the middle of the platform because I didn’t know where my coach S1 will be coming. The train passed in front of me for a halt, and I could see only the coach starting with S2. No S1 board before that. Now I have to run to the back of the train searching for the S1 coach.
As per logic the S1 should come before S2, but my logic didn’t work at that time.
Cursing the railways I ran towards the end of the train. And this is the first time in my life I felt the length of the train. This bugging train had coaches till S12 including 4 A/C coach. But for me the S1, no way I could find that. Then I got into the last coach S12, fortunately I saw a TT in that coach and I asked him for S1. He replied as I expected, “Haven’t you seen that, it is just near to the engine”.
@#$%#@$$%^ such a perfect day.
I waited for the next station. Then Angamaly (next station) came. I was ready for the next marathon. I started running towards the front of the train, only 2 min halt is there at this station. Some how I managed to get in the correct coach.
I reached my destination at last, I found my seat SU40 (side upper 40). The seat was already occupied. With all the politeness and respect which I could gather after these all things, I requested his to give the seat. Suddenly for my surprise he asked me to show the ticket. This was the limit of my patience.
The volcano of anger and frustration inside me was looking for a crack to burst out and eventually the crack had formed now. I don’t know from where, I shouted at him “Get off my seat” (in Malayalam followed by some Sanskrit). I am not a person who used to shout as people like that, that too in a public place. But is not feeling any guilty over that.
At last I got my seat, one great thing which had happened for me on that entire day.
But the Almighty was not satisfied with what ever I have gone through; he was ready with lot more surprises for me.
By the time train reached Trichur a group entered the coach. Three ladies and one guy with two children, a good recipe for the headache for a lonely commuter like me.
First I thought I will have a good time in the train as the two of the ladies among them are 23-24 yrs old and really energetic, will get some company. Even one of the girls started chatting with me after 10-20 mins. I didn’t know that I have to pay a big price for that company.
When the train reached near to Palakkad the man in the group came to me and asked about myself and where am from and he didn’t show any problem in chatting with the ladies in his group. Thought like global warming had got effect not only on climate but also in people.
Then the real thing came to light, guess what?
They were having five seats and only one was confirmed when they took the ticket. The rest was in waiting list. Now they have got the berth and the seat confirmed and that is near to my seat.
He asked me “Are you alone?” the most dangerous question which a Bachelor commuter can face in his journey. This question will be followed usually by questions like “Can we have your lower berth, as there is ladies and children with us?” or the worst of all “If you don’t mind, can we swap your seat with ours, as we got one seat in another coach?”
Guess, what question would have they asked me?
Ya Ya the same, the second question………..Grrrrrrrr
Now one song came to my mind, sung by Shaggy: Why me lord
Why me lord situation looking kinda bad
Why me lord I lost the best seat I ever had
Why me lord I'm homeless and I'm feeling kinda sad
Why me why me why me why me
Then I thought, even am going to be a family man very soon and these situation might come form me, so I have to be little considerable to them.
With a non willing mind I told him yes, and asked him the seat and the coach number.
He showed me the ticket, and then suddenly I heard the song again. This time little more louder. Want to know the reason:
So where is the confirmed seat which they have got at the first time?
BINGO..... S12 COACH..... SEAT NO 64.
The same old coach which I have entered at the first time when I didn’t find my coach. The coach which is at the end of the world as for me.
A big sigh came out of me. The other guy asked whether there is any problem. I told him the entire thing which happened before this. He said sorry for that, but again he wanted me to go to the S12.
What to do, as I have given a word had to keep it.
Then when Palakad came I again started the journey toward the old S12 coach, thinking of the good time I lost, having the company of those girls (I can flirt till 7th Feb, no offence). Then I got into the coach and found that that berth again is occupied by another person. I went there and told him,
“Sir, I am really tired and this is the seat which I have got as a last option and I don’t have a ticket for this seat. Please let be crash on this berth and no questions please?”
At last I got my berth and before anyone else come and ask for a favor, I took my MP3 player and plugged it into my ears, and played the first song on the list………
Guess which song:
The same Shaggy: Why me why me why me why me LORD…………………………
Got a subject to start with……….
Train trip from Kerala to Chennai. Yes, it will be the perfect subject for this time.
The train was on Monday evening, 22nd of Jan.
From morning onwards I was really busy inviting friends and their family for the marriage. Was driving for the entire day and also had to go for marriage shopping. I haven’t faced such a busy day in my life.
I reached home after the shopping by 4.45 pm. The train is by 5.55pm from Aluva, 45 minute drive from my place. I planned of going by Scooter as there is no one to get the car back to house. Then my father and I left the house by 5:10. I was really rushing through the road. I couldn’t check the speed pf the scooter as the Speedo meter was down. I remember that we had over taken one of the toddy cabs, which is been famous in Kerala for the speed and careless driving. So I guess I had reached the speed of 90 km/hr that too in an Activa. With god’s grace we reached the station with out any scratch.
Now the time is 5.45, I have to rush to the platform as I heard the announcement of the train to be reaching shortly. I told bye to my father and ran to the Platform number three.
Usually we used to cross the rail to get to the next platform, even I tried the same. But this time a police man caught me. I don’t know how he chose me so perfectly. I told him that my train is on the way I have to cross and he never heard me. As the there is no time for argument I opted to take the fly over for pedestrians. Literally I have to run through all the steps. By the time I reached there I could see the train coming.
I was standing some where in the middle of the platform because I didn’t know where my coach S1 will be coming. The train passed in front of me for a halt, and I could see only the coach starting with S2. No S1 board before that. Now I have to run to the back of the train searching for the S1 coach.
As per logic the S1 should come before S2, but my logic didn’t work at that time.
Cursing the railways I ran towards the end of the train. And this is the first time in my life I felt the length of the train. This bugging train had coaches till S12 including 4 A/C coach. But for me the S1, no way I could find that. Then I got into the last coach S12, fortunately I saw a TT in that coach and I asked him for S1. He replied as I expected, “Haven’t you seen that, it is just near to the engine”.
@#$%#@$$%^ such a perfect day.
I waited for the next station. Then Angamaly (next station) came. I was ready for the next marathon. I started running towards the front of the train, only 2 min halt is there at this station. Some how I managed to get in the correct coach.
I reached my destination at last, I found my seat SU40 (side upper 40). The seat was already occupied. With all the politeness and respect which I could gather after these all things, I requested his to give the seat. Suddenly for my surprise he asked me to show the ticket. This was the limit of my patience.
The volcano of anger and frustration inside me was looking for a crack to burst out and eventually the crack had formed now. I don’t know from where, I shouted at him “Get off my seat” (in Malayalam followed by some Sanskrit). I am not a person who used to shout as people like that, that too in a public place. But is not feeling any guilty over that.
At last I got my seat, one great thing which had happened for me on that entire day.
But the Almighty was not satisfied with what ever I have gone through; he was ready with lot more surprises for me.
By the time train reached Trichur a group entered the coach. Three ladies and one guy with two children, a good recipe for the headache for a lonely commuter like me.
First I thought I will have a good time in the train as the two of the ladies among them are 23-24 yrs old and really energetic, will get some company. Even one of the girls started chatting with me after 10-20 mins. I didn’t know that I have to pay a big price for that company.
When the train reached near to Palakkad the man in the group came to me and asked about myself and where am from and he didn’t show any problem in chatting with the ladies in his group. Thought like global warming had got effect not only on climate but also in people.
Then the real thing came to light, guess what?
They were having five seats and only one was confirmed when they took the ticket. The rest was in waiting list. Now they have got the berth and the seat confirmed and that is near to my seat.
He asked me “Are you alone?” the most dangerous question which a Bachelor commuter can face in his journey. This question will be followed usually by questions like “Can we have your lower berth, as there is ladies and children with us?” or the worst of all “If you don’t mind, can we swap your seat with ours, as we got one seat in another coach?”
Guess, what question would have they asked me?
Ya Ya the same, the second question………..Grrrrrrrr
Now one song came to my mind, sung by Shaggy: Why me lord
Why me lord situation looking kinda bad
Why me lord I lost the best seat I ever had
Why me lord I'm homeless and I'm feeling kinda sad
Why me why me why me why me
Then I thought, even am going to be a family man very soon and these situation might come form me, so I have to be little considerable to them.
With a non willing mind I told him yes, and asked him the seat and the coach number.
He showed me the ticket, and then suddenly I heard the song again. This time little more louder. Want to know the reason:
So where is the confirmed seat which they have got at the first time?
BINGO..... S12 COACH..... SEAT NO 64.
The same old coach which I have entered at the first time when I didn’t find my coach. The coach which is at the end of the world as for me.
A big sigh came out of me. The other guy asked whether there is any problem. I told him the entire thing which happened before this. He said sorry for that, but again he wanted me to go to the S12.
What to do, as I have given a word had to keep it.
Then when Palakad came I again started the journey toward the old S12 coach, thinking of the good time I lost, having the company of those girls (I can flirt till 7th Feb, no offence). Then I got into the coach and found that that berth again is occupied by another person. I went there and told him,
“Sir, I am really tired and this is the seat which I have got as a last option and I don’t have a ticket for this seat. Please let be crash on this berth and no questions please?”
At last I got my berth and before anyone else come and ask for a favor, I took my MP3 player and plugged it into my ears, and played the first song on the list………
Guess which song:
The same Shaggy: Why me why me why me why me LORD…………………………

Batchelor going Husband............
I have been reading through the bolgs posted by my friend Abru. Hmm then I realized that this is a good place for me to hangout and to relies my mind. And that is what am indented to do here.
Now a days there is a very unusual thought going on my mind, which had never came before. This whole thing started after my engagement.
Before going to that I think we have to dig up a little about my past life.
I have been always a quite and calm type person (my friends would have a little different opinion). I had spend my life with a society of mixed culture and status. I used to have a lot of friend boys and girls, but never had any girl friend (lover) in my entire life( Not a gay for sure). I don’t know whether any one from the other side had a crush on me. I used to have lot of hangouts with my all type of friends and I used to be an unavoidable part of each get-together.
All these days of my life, each and every girl was just a ordinary girl and I didn’t even felt any affection other than friendship.
But now a days, it is happening like each girl I sees on the roads, in the office and even on a book, except the girls I know personally, is becoming very attractive to me. I don’t know why it is happening every suddenly.
I clearly know that I like the girl which am going to marry and exactly telling I love her and the first love in my life.
I had tried to find the reason for this type of change and thought in mind and my brain gave the answer for that.
************************************************************************************
My brain answered me:
Hey this is all your fault. A human should progress in his life as the same way he is getting progress in this school life. It should happen step by step For going to the 2nd standard (second year in the school) he should spend one entire year in 1st standard. If you skip the 1st standard, you will have to face lot of problems in the second year.
So before you have decided to get married ,would have tried loving some one as a man. Now the man in you is trying to make use of this little time left to compensate for the mistake what you have done and it is really confused of which one to pick up. You where ignoring him or had been suppressing his desires the entire time.
But don’t get worried you will be okay after the marriage. And the finest thing is that, you will be very lucky that you are going to marry your first love. I believe this is your first love. Don’t take my words now, let me confirm with mind regarding that.
So dude you don’t have to worry. This is a little frustration of your Batchelor Consciousness to make up the time which he lost.
***********************************************************************************
I am always thankful to my brain for this advise. Otherwise I would have gone mad. This is my version of the situation before going to get married, I don’t know about others. If you also have any such experience please let me know.
Take the life as it come, don’t mess with it.
