 "Unbelievable, this is.... India has won the Natwest Final out of nowhere, credit goes to two young guns, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif" was being announced when suddenly the camera turned towards the famous Lords' balcony and an over delighted Sorav Ganguly came out pushing VVS Laxman aside and in the euphoria, removed his Jersey and waved to the crowd. The entire crowd not only on the ground but every cricket fan who had just switched on their televisions enjoyed this act of the captain. Many symbolic representations - It was sheer happiness of rising from the ashes with absolutely no chance of winning the game, and more importantly, it was a befitting reply to a similar act done by Andrew Flintoff at Mumbai after England had won a match. *** About the Natwest Series 2002, it was a tri-series involving India, England, and Sri-Lanka. The matches were played over two weeks and the best of the two teams - India and England made it to the finals. Indian Cricket lovers alw

  “I had read-only in the books, seen in the Bollywood movie, but never expected it to happen in my life, RK” whispered a giggling Aradhana to Ramakrishnan. “To have this moment, I had gone through hell literally and you know it. I’m happy to be witness this moment myself” laughed back RK. “RK, this is Udit uncle, our neighbour, come take his blessings” “Yeah, yeah, Uncle please bless us” said RK and the couple bowed down. “How can I forget him?” thought RK in his mind. His mind went into a flashback and all he could remember was the sound “Thud” the tight slap on his face by this same person. ****** Ramakrishnan was a typical South Indian guy with very few friends. RK, fondly called by family and friends, was a very passionate guy. He was very passionate about Cricket and used to be glued to his television watching matches for hours. His mind was a data storage machine and he could remember numbers. If anyone wanted to know any friend’s birthday, know the date of the last me

  11th May 1998 & 13th May 1998 are historic days in the calendar of our country - India!!! Yeah, India carried out successful five nuclear tests during these days and proved itself as a strong Nuclear power, and joined the list of Big 5 states. Three tests were carried out on 11th May 1998 while Two tests on 13th May 1998. Initially, India did face some sanction issues but then the World accepted that India is there to survive on its own and not follow the rules set by others. **** After the success of 'Smiling Buddha' the first nuclear test in 1974 by India, it was under the constant radar by the UN and Big 5 not to conduct any more tests. However, sensing the challenges from neighbouring countries, it was very important for India to put across its point bluntly. The problem was conducting these tests was not easy in many aspects.
