India in Bangladesh

Indian team has just landed in Bangladesh straight in the den of bangla tigers. After the defeat from Bangladesh in the league match which forced India out of the world cup, Indians must be itching to go out and have a blast at the Bangla bolwers. It was a disappointing world cup for them and should be at the back of the mind. Indian team is now surrounded by some new young faces and new team manager Ravi shartri taking on the team after greg chappel resigned as an Indian coach.

This series would be the shape up for the youngsters and deciding factor for some of the Senior members in the team. There will be a lot of mental pressure for the senior players as they have not been performing for so long now and their willow has to do the talking. Sehwag and Dhoni will have to fire with flamboyance and the team management will be keeping a close eye on these players. Yuvraj too has failed to meet the expectations and require an inspiring knock in the middle of the crease. Absence of Sachin and Ganguly will be felt but they require some rest before a very hectic schedule.

The must not forget that the weather conditions in Bangladesh are same as they have back in India, which is a plus point for them. Sometimes these small tours are very dangerous for a touring side as you can easily feel the pressure to adapt to the conditions and by the time you do so its time to go back. What this indian team need is a good start to the tour and there are lot of finishers in the team lead by the wall (Rahul Dravid)himself. Rahul has to show some fire in his body language and attitude, he is a champion batsmen but he should not forget that his leadership skills directly affects the team performance.

Bangladesh on the other hand have improved a lot and look more confident. Dave Whatmore has done a tremendous work to shape them up to play a competitive cricket. Let us all hope for a good and exciting series and as a true Indian i am supporting my Indian Team. Best Luck guys and make your country proud.

Back to home finally

Hey guys yuppppppi, i am finally back in India. I was really counting the days after angelica left US and was missing my home too much. When I arrived at the IG airport after the long and delayed flight, everyone was eagerly waiting to see me. Angel was almost covered with the bouquet she had in her hand. I came out and saw her, she was searching for me in the crowd coming from inside.

We saw each other, she was full of energy and a BIG smile on her face. I hugged her and we both started crying like babies, ahhh and yes after a long time I saw my own people whom I can see and be delighted. All were having tears in their eyes specially my father-in-law and My mother were crying aloud. Finally we all came out of the airport and it was "Delhi ki garmi" to be faced. We boarded the car and were on our way to Faridabad, all were silent in the car maybe all were thinking of reaching home quickly.

Food was ready and so were all. All were on the table and eagerly waiting for me to be on the table after all I was the special guest of the day. I ate lots and lots of food as if i have never had the same taste, it was as usual "delicious". Everyone is happy and so am I. After all our India and people in our country makes you feel special all the time.
