foolish vinayakthegreat: You don't have to try so hard to prove your stupidity. I and many are already convinced that you have lost it.
somebody_somewhere: Thanks for your RRC. So nice that you have an admiration for what I wrote. Keep visiting:-)
P.S.= Is you favourite movie 'Dil To Pagal Ha...in'? Juss guessing from your ID!!
Yaar ksb123: Kai jhala? Me emotional nahi aahe re...facts sangteahe!!
Before you present your viewpoint to me, let me help increase your bloated knowlege:
Sourav Ganguly is India’s most successful Test skipper with 19 wins from 47 matches.
Ganguly’s one-day record as captain stands at 73 wins and 64 losses from 142 matches. He had played 273 ODIs in all.
He is the third batsman after Tendulkar and Pakistan’s Inzamam-ul-Haq in scoring 10,000 runs in ODIs.
I would advise you to go back to your data books and come back with some solid information to support your emotions of not favouring Ganguly!
Sachin failed miserably as the captain and it's too early for Rahul's prediction as captain. So, don't jump! Also, it's nearly impossible for them to even reach half of Ganguly's record as captain and by then their careers will be over.
The team recently has done well in the last 3 matches and congrats to them but let's not magnify the 'chaar din ki chandni.'
The only thing I agree with you is that perhaps Sourav can take some few months off and enjoy the time out and watch the fun of the jokers of Indian cricket in action!
Ata saang!
P.S.= Also, please read my review properly before jumping on the rating and commenting section- as it is clearly obvious from your emotional comments that you have missed out in reading and understanding what's written. So please go over it again.Read More

Hey, thanks for your nice comments and RR.
Yea, really sad to observe the insensibilities of the Indian public and the media. But I guess it's only a phase and the tubelights will light up very soon and commonsense will prevail.
Keep visiting, Happy Diwali :-)

Lol...the amount of English movies you watch might be exactly proportional to the amount of Hindi movies I view.
I would like to wait for a review from you on a Hindi movie.
Is that a fair wait? Lemme know! :-)

Patenik2: Thanks for your RRC and observations. Yes, you are right that the very players with whom Sourav played with for such a long time didn't come for his rescue. And we look upto these cricketers as role models.
You have driven the point very well that Indian cricket right now is in a total... mess and with the irresponsible media, selectors and administrators around the mess will further increase!
foolish vinayakthegreat: Juss as illegal immigrants, we Indians have to bear the burden of foolish and narrow minded people like you.

Well, I am basically a lazy guy- hafto literally drag myself to penn down my thoughts- I juss write for general time-pass!
And thanks for your RRC aswell. I am glad that you liked my review.
arundhati90: ...Hi there, thanks for your RRC. DOOs sometimes make life spicy and sometimes very predictive too!!
I am glad that inspite of your own opinion you have the good ability of appreciating other's opinion too! Keep visiting:-)
Aamer_prince: Hey Aamer, let's talk's of the Indian cricket context as what I have mentioned in my review- I being a globetrotter have realised that inspite of us being international, you can't take away the Indianness in us. But if you really wanna compare- Steve Waugh was older than Sourav when he was dropped and Shaun Pollock is still playing!
arkhan: Lemme reiterate that Sourav does have substantial amount of cricket left in him- Gavaskar retired at the age of 36 years officially from international cricket and unofficially at the age of 39. Kapil Dev also was dropped way beyond 35 years of age.
If age is so crucial in Chappel's stream of thoughts, then why are JP Yadav, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in the team?
No, buddy, there is a big wave of underlying politics happening.
Merely winning 3 matches under the new captain doesn't mean that the boat is sailing smoothly.
Remember, Sri Lanka is never a good team in foreign soil. Under the same Rahul Dravid, India performed miserably few months ago.
The transition from illusion to reality (if it has to happen), to prove what you are trying to say, will take lot of time!!Read More

Your review makes this book seem very interesting!
I agree with what you wrote at the beginning- many form impressions of a person right at the first glace~ sub-consciously. Many times it's correct and many a times- not!
It's sort of an intuition!!
But then we can go on and on brooding over... this!!
Happy Diwali!Read More

I pity your review and your way of thinking.
And I don't find any analysis in your review...all I see are mere prejudiced observations against Sourav.
But I don't blame you and your likes. India, unfortunately, has to bear the grunt of many fools who think of themselves as Einsteins with stat...s and figures and who think of real quality people like Ganguly as fools.
As far as the site- 'ihateganguly.com' that you've mentioned goes, it clearly shows the mentality of frustrated and constipated individuals who have no other work but to prove themselves as bunch of jokers and lunatics.
Oh please, take a long hike!Read More

Thanks for your RRC.
Yes, nostalgic to the core. Actually dogs and books are man's true friends. Like many, I too attach emotions with them!
Hmm, you have had an interesting choice of books over the years...I was not into novels- could never get down to finishing reading them!!

A Sunday or a day off is a perfect time to go memory lane and nothing is better than reliving the good old care- ‘less’ and ‘free’ childhood days!

Sorry, you may call me orthodox (which I ain’t) but I don't quite appreciate same sex romance...according to me anything against nature (in this instance sexual attraction) is abnormal!
Traditions may not be always ethical but many of them are. Not being traditional by no means shows a pers...on is being intellectual…it is infact a tryst for pseudo- intellectualism which is nothing but trying to portray an image of modernity to the world around…doesn’t help in anyways…what it does is that it makes a fool and mockery of the person doing it!!
Situations, as in the story, may be desirous for love and attention but that doesn’t call for unusual yearns.
The review- your musings are excellent otherwise...but I'd prefer not to rate it.
Well, yes, mine is just another perspective!Read More

I am kinda speculative with perfumes...why ? Because:
1) As you mentioned, 'You must carry the perfume'...but then there are many people like me who get a nausea feeling if the person with me is wearing a strong scent. So while it's suiting you, it may not suit your partner...what do you do then?...!
2) What is the real difference between perfume and a deo still baffles me.....is perfume meant for clothes only and deo for skin? Well...I have seen the best of people in the fashion industry using them exactly the opposite way according to their suitability.
3) You are bang on target saying that you must wear a perfume based on your body chemistry...but how do we come to know which is the most suitable?
Sorry, but I am just curious!
Wonderful review and very useful too!
