IPL and indian fab four

Well this was always a debated topic.

Would India have won the T20 world cup if the fab four batsman (dravid, ganguly, sachin, laxman) had been part of the team. You can also add kumble to the equation.

All of these senior players (bangalore, kolkatta, mumbai, deccan) teams got eliminated in the league stages of the IPL. This further strengthens the argument against these great players and tells that Dhoni's move of sacking these oldies is right.

Now the next big question is will Tendulkar stay in the team till next world cup ?

100,000 People Swallowed in a week

The cyclone in myanmar and quake in china has killed close to 100,000 people. The news shocked me and put me into deep saddening. How many helpless souls, how many orphans, shattered dreams, property losses, cant imagine how someone goes through this kind of a trauma. Hoping that the victims who died will rest in peace. Plus the survivors, who were left behind, without their loved ones, find harmony.

When I started to write this, I wanted to continue talking about how the traditional visions of life are directly contradicting to this kind of catastrophes. However, any digression will be inappropriate here. Hence, will end the post with just a prayer for the victims and the survivors of the quake and cyclone.
