I am not a die hard fan of cricket who will stick to TV till the time match is not over. But yesterday’s match against England was pretty interesting, especially in the last overs. Yuvraj Singh had some argument with Flintoff and that ignited the spark inside Yuvraj. He hit 6 sixes in a row. Otherwise I haven’t seen any Indian player doing some rubbish on the ground but many other teams do. Just as England did it yesterday. So Yuvraj replied back in a very cool fashion :) Enjoy the video from youtube. ...

This one is by Ghulam Ali. It was in the album Tere Shahar Mein. It was one of the first albums of Ghulam Ali to be released in India.

It has been almost 11 months since I landed up in so called Delhi unki jaan [from city beautiful Chandigarh]. After having some experience here, I have been thinking of writing all the good and bad things, I have seen, in these 11 months. Well, will write about particular events some other time. Here what I am going to write is, few tips for the people who are new to Delhi or are planning to come to Delhi. Its in the form of dos and don’ts. I am just too lazy to do the segregation so it will be one after another, in no order, without thinking anything. Please bear with it :) ...

On Gurdas Maan forum, I got a link to a video on youtube. When I checked, it was a song by Sai Zahoor Ahmed, a sufi singer (or performer ?) from Pakistan. This man left home at the young age of 13 and started roaming the sufi shrines in Pakistan. He sings on ik-tara. He can’t read or write but has very good memory of lyrics. He was chosen best BBC voice of the year 2006. I just went mad about “sajna baajho zaat safatan ishq dian” video. Its just awesome. He is 60 years old and see him performing, totally lost in his work. It looks like he is directly talking to Allah. Hats off to these messengers of sufi gaayaki. ...

Tomorrow, on 15th August, India will wake up to celebrate its 60th independence day. Its a moment of happiness and of being proud about all those people who did the struggle and laid their lives for freedom. After 60 years, there are a lot of things that have changed and more importantly still a lot more remains to be changed. There are things like illiteracy, religion based riots, corruption, poverty, basic education for everybody, more employment for youth, making youth aware of great Indian culture and so on. If you run an eye around, there are thousands of issues, you see, that need to be addressed. We, the citizens of India need to be more responsible about everything happening around to make India a beautiful country. So with all the hopes here is wishing India & everybody a very very Happy Independence Day. ...

India is known as a country having a rich culture and heritage. I was thinking for long time about going to see Qutab Minar. So finally that time came today. Really, its beautiful.
