From the jaws of....

A couple of somer-saults,
It lost the rear wheels,
A huge bump,
My phone slipped out,
A big crash,
We were upside down,
This guy presses a shoe in my face,
Another lay over me,
Break!Smash,Run!I heard,
A couple of kicks from the two of us,
We smashed a window,
Went out,
But my friend was stuck,
The diesel funneled my shirt wet,
Reeking and threatened to blow,
Got the stuff and people out,
Out we went,
Death,
Maybe some other time,
While you get the finger!

Loser's Love Lost.

In her smiling face,
I see utopian bliss.
My passion reanimated:
a gaping stare-which she did never miss,
with angel eyes,lucid and serene.

Her ruddy lips-like dew laced grass;
Redder than the millions,
that race across my heart:
which tainted,
but isn't without shine.
It's no nugget of gold,
but still prays to his Gods,
for a majestic view held by her,but
for a second stare:
No thanks!I am fine!

Surreal in beauty,
so many heads turn.
A Goddess are thee,
my heart cries in burn.
Can't reminisce how many of my deeds were impure:
But since her manifestation,
I found myself a cure.
A rose,so painfully out of reach!
The golden apples to Hercules:
She is alike to me.

Myself no believer of charm,
neither a believer of
the fatality of attraction.
I believe in love at first sight,
but she does not care to look.
No qualms therein:as i did
from every corner and every nook.
So much so to be mistaken as the angel
without the book.

Hapless am I,but ye God:show me no pity!
for i want her to witness feelings
of this peasant all stark,
not gritty.

Our country,our cricket.

As Sreesanth held on Misbah-ul-Haq's attempted chip over fine leg,a nation was happy again.So happy that nobody cared about the WC07 debacle earlier in the year.The critics were happy.The media was happy.Cricketers were happy too[as well as glad that nobody will brick their car's or stone their houses].Nobody even cared about the following series loss to Australia.Players were covered in gold and silver both literally and figuratively,respectively by the BCCI and states.And so much to the dismay of other sportsmen.Hockey players went vocal [abetted by their coach,and were lucky in their attempt],while Olympic Goldie A.Bindra had something to say about the highly overrated game of our country.V.Anand wanted a similar reception[which he aptly deserved,and received].So,what?Gully cricket was now official as IPLT20!

The next few months were intriguing to say the least.We mauled Pakistan in the home series. Kumble was Test captain.A little bit of ignition of Sachin from Sanjay Manjrekar,and Dhoni ended up holding the trophy in the ODI's in the last of it's kind tri-series in Australia,much to the shock of hypocrites who criticized the holy trio of Indian cricket in the WC07 but wanted them in the ODI team to Australia all the same.On the other hand S.Bucknor ensured we lost the test series to the so called Invincibles.We ended their sweet16 run for the second time,thanks to VVS Laxman,amidst the monkeys and the fingers[not to forget the hearings].Rohit & Ishant Sharma was our answer for chin music with the bat and ball.While Bhajji and Symmo were both show caused for deeds uncalled for.South Africa ate into our confidence and we did the same to them.Another drawn series.IPL!Shane Warne showed no signs of age and MS Dhoni showed signs of fatigue.Jayasuriya and Mendis snatched the Asia cup from our mitts for the second time in four years.We lost to Mendis again.But Dhoni came back and helped our cause in the ODI series in Lanka.Ganguly was fried,and he took it to heart and called it a day with the home series against Australia.Ganguly scored a century,and missed one barely.In the end,we won.Yaah!But now Kumble retired.Sob!
Confident,we mauled England,Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the following 6 series[undefeated 6!Now can you dig that?]
Complacent,we messed up in the 2nd T20WC.Nobody could stop Pakistan.
Afridi mocked India.[We said,wait till the governments greenlight the next encounter!]
Now tired,frayed,injured India[bravely steered by Captain Cool] look to redeem themselves in the place where we messed up big time in the ides of March in 2007.
All Hail!
Chak De!India.
