How Sreeshanth got dropped , dropped and further dropped

Thanks to Abhilash B R for editing this article and offering some great suggestions

Sreeshant tweeted "I am heartbroken but no worries, time will come my way... Will keep giving my very best to the game no matter how small my chances are. I truly believe in God”.



Chairman of selectors Kris Shrikanth, when asked the reason behind dropping Sreeshant said,” When milk is easily available in the market, why should we purchase cows”.
Sreeshant tweeted “Can I go mad, just stark, raving, mad?”
Kris Shrikanth once again tried giving a funny reply and as usual it failed to evoke any laughs.
He said, “ Sreeshant’s mind is like that of Gajhini’s. Sometimes it forgets where to go, once it has decided to act in a particular manner then we shouldn’t be stopping it”

Sreeshant slapped himself once on the right cheek and then again on the left cheek and repeated this action 222 times and posted this video on Facebook. Sources say that this is an act inspired by the famous ‘Shantam Paapam’ action where old ladies cross their arms and pat their cheeks to do away with sins, a patented act of the Kerala Old Ladies Association (aka KOLA). Sources also added that Harbhajan Singh created 67 different profiles and has liked this video that’s been put up.
In the meanwhile Rajdeep Sardesai expressed shock on hearing Sreeshant’s story and even dropped the Natraj 2B pencil that he held in his hand. Others present on the show to discuss about this issue were, thinker philosopher and dreamer Ananth (that’s what he likes to call himself though no one agrees), Aamir Khan and Mandira Bedi. Ananth as always goofed it up by saying ‘’I feel really bad for the young Kerala pacer. I am so traumatized that I for a brief instant of time I stopped thinking as to why Moonmoon Sen, the Bengali actress has 2 moons in her name’’. Aamir Khan when asked how Sreeshant would be feeling didn’t reply as he had sunk himself deep inside Sreeshant ‘s shoes
and was already in a mini depressed mood. Mandira on the other hand was the only one who spoke something sane. She said that people should leave the past behind, not worry about what others say and continue to work hard. She also added that she’d continue to display her cleavage and speak the wrong things at the right time no matter what people say.

A hope for Sreeshant campaign will be held later this month. Famous fast bowlers Dodda Ganesh, Manoj Prabhakar and Laxmipathi Balaji will join Sreeshant. Other cricketers expected to join this campaign are Chateshwar Pujara, Vinod Kambli, Ganguly and Mohd Kaif. The candle light campaign will start from the India Gate and will continue all the way till the Feroze-shah Kotla stadium where the candles will be placed on the pitch. BCCI authorities have given their nod saying that since Kotla cannot be used for any other purpose it can be made use of for such useless causes.

Kannada cine star Ravichandran, well known for giving the Sandalwood Industry a recent blockbuster titled ‘Naariya Seere Kadda’(translated as 'He stole the women's saree'), said ‘’All is not lost for Sreeshant. He can act and dance; I can offer him a role in my movies’’. Ravi Mama, as his fans know him also added that he has a strong Kerala connection since most of his directorial ventures were inspired by the famous movies of her highness Shrimathi Shakeela.

Happy 2011

New year began on a happy note. On the fourth day of the year , got placed in TCS. Extremely happy after this, never thought I’ll get placed. I still can’t believe I read about transistors , capacitors and resistors for four years . I’d also like to thank kumar_chelsealegend who has taken the trouble to follow my blog. This takes the number of followers to 10 (Breaking in to double digit finally).I’ve run out of ideas to write . I made 2 drafts , tried writing fiction , it dint work fine. I went to Mantralaya also. Initially it was planned as a family trip . Then many things happened. Friends of friends, acquaintances of acquaintances and some unknown people got together and at the end 40 of us travelled to Mantralaya . We hired a bus and all , it was pretty nice.

In the bus there were 3 girls , 2 twins and the 3rd ( the elder sister). For the first time in my life I got to know that twins can be non identical. The two of them had accepted this fact right from the time they were manufactured, they never seemed surprised when asked why they were twins and why they dint look alike. I suppose from 2 decades they were asked the same question over and over again. One of them was doing engineering at east west institute of technology . East- West is a pretty lousy name , what were the founders of the college smoking when they decided to name this college? East point , North point sounds pretty good but ‘east west’ is too tacky a name . Well , the girl was as cute as a panda . The other twin was doing BBM in some other college .The elder one was preparing for her CA exams . She looked as boring and disinterested as Munaf Patel .One joke about CA's that i remember is in the Indian institue of charted accountants there was a statue of Christ below which it was written ' Jesus never fails ' , one of the students said 'Let him pass CA and prove himsellf right'. BBM asked me what I was doing and I replied that I got placed in TCS and she was like ‘ Oh, teeeee ceee esssss is it?’ as if her catty , doggy and watchman had all got placed in the same company.. She asked me what next, what plans for the future ?. When you tell people that you are from PESIT they expect you to be the next Steve Jobs .I dint know what to reply , “I thought I’ll say I’m going to be research scholar under someone in IISc “ OR “ I’m going to start my own firm “ OR I’m running off to Europe , I’ll swim in one of those lakes embedded in the womb of some forest , read a book , sip coffee under those huge architectural marvels , go and work in one of those cheese factories , bake cakes , make mango pickle and guava jelly “ Talking about Steve jobs , for those of you who attend tech quizzes I can offer help . If there’s a question like ‘ Mr X co-founded this company . after many years he left it and then started Y which happens to be a fortune 50 company’ ………….. At least in one of those questions Mr X will be Steve Jobs .

Panda ( the engineering girl )was always cuddling some 2 year old kid . Whenever the 3 sisters got bored doing nothing they started playing antakshari . The first song would always be ‘Sheila ki jawani’ for some unknown reason and then it was like some old jukebox playing some random songs . Panda would get hyper and wild all of a sudden . She was like those girls who go crazy when Salman Khan removes his shirt . Munaf Patel would retire soon , BBM and Panda sang until they got bored and would start cuddling that 2 year kid again .Panda asked what my hobbies were . I said I watched ‘ I watch Arnab Goswami’s show without fail everyday ‘ and she said ‘ Oh! That guy who combs his hair like a good boy , shouts down people’s throat and gets hysterical . These TV guys get paid for all this chitter –chatter “ and she gave this stupid smile. I’ve got only one thing to say - When you don’t understand the kind of work a person does , his stature and background you’ve got absolutely no right to comment about him . I just prevented myself from saying this and reacted with another stupid smile. Ah! These girls were like old gramophone records , smart and unique but difficult to handle

Mantralaya was good ! We reached there at around 5 am in the morning . it looked like as if the famous fog of Delhi had just descended over there. Came back to Bangalore after 2 days . I’ve decided to join a gym , happy new year to one and all!!
