IPL day 5(22/04/09--)Deccans(bulls) on the charge...

On day 5 it was the 2 teams who had a disappointing run in the last edition (but promising more in this edition already) Deccan and Blore.Deccans were off straight away in the top gear with Gibbs n Gillchrist(Gilli) to 46 in (little less than) 4 overs before Gibbs fell trapped before wicket playing across the line to P.Kumar.Though wickets fell on the one end a smashing 71 from Gilli and a classy 50 from Rohit helped Deccan reach 184.Deccan innings(Gilli's big hits,Rohit picking his spot....) was entertaining..

Blore innings never got off(as they would have liked) as they loose wickets at regular intervals to reach 62/4 in 10 Overs...Late surge from Dravid and V.Kohli helped them come close but they were never gonna chase it down afer that poor start...so thats it! Another win for Deccan puts them on the top of the league table..And now that almost all teams played 2 matches and has got atleast a point already(except Punjab) is a good sign (for a competitive league) from games perspective... But personally I would like to see Punjab move up the table...[soon :) ]

Deccan bt Blore by 24 runs!

IPL heading in to an exciting (last) week!

It is getting very exciting as we head in to the last week of the IPL and still any of the 6 teams(except Delhi&KKR) are in the running for the remaning 3 semi final spots after Delhi has already qualified.The last 2 days saw 3 very closely fought matches which could have gone either way and still the table is finely balanced!With the gap closing and teams swaping positions with every match I guess some *heart breaks* are in store for some teams this week! On Wed(13/5/09) DC looked well set to win the match till Symonds and Gilli where going in full flow but lost track in the end to loose by 12 runs against Delhi.Yesterday Hayden was in his elements as usual(he has amassed 486 @ an amazing avg of 48.6 so far..) as Chennai got off to a flier yet again but when he left the crease with Chennai at 101/4 off 13 Overs they collapsed to 129 which was chased down by BRC(thanks mainly to Taylor and V.Kohli) with 2 balls to spare but certainly it was not as easy as it looked on the score...

[Movie Review]Avatar--a real dream!

After days of viral fever and a marathon exam schedule,I was tired mentally and physically when i lay down on my seat!And soon I was seeing floating mountains,wierd flying creatures,bright neon like glowing structures,exotic flowers u have hardly seen before,a tree of souls through which u can speak to your forefathers and many more...The dream was chimerical.The dream was pleasant and eye catching.The dream was 'Avatar'. But sooner or later though you have to wake up and you just cant ignore the facts . The same old hackneyed story of 'Man Vs Alien' and the same old characters we have read and have seen in many old classics.No price for guessing what Cameron was concentrating on in this million dollar venture.This is not a movie made on just a wild thought.This is cerebral.In this 3 long hours episode he introduces us to a unique/wierd race and as the protagonist learn from the female lead in the story abt their traditions and culture you would too but after abt 70/...

MOM : BOLLYWOOD MUSIC REVIEW

Image
                            We in India tend to forget that the film music composers are giving us film music albums and not their own music albums.I always hear my friends say ARR hasnt done well in this album when they dont get any melodious love song or a rock/metal rhythm song etc. I thought I will review MOM movie's music (more of a first impression really) and see what happens..  O Sona Tere Liye: A typical ARR adagio melody about a mom's wishes for her daughter that slowly grows on you with an enduring quality. Yes we have heard it before but the way he blows freshness in to every song is amazing: It was the same window; It was the Same season; It was evening again; but today the wind was magically different! Kooke Kawn: An interesting attempt/experiment.  It has the energy of a party song and interesting 'crow calls' but I am not sure why it fell flat to me personally..May be I have to l...
