  • Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.

The Twenty-Twenty Fever.



I have always been a die hard fan of cricket.I do watch tennis too.Now a days I have been watching football too.But like my affection for Mukesh as a singer, inspite of Raffi as a great singer, so too cricket remains my passion.I think by introducing the club format in Twenty- twenty format, barriers about nations have been broken just like in football.So I can have many affiliations with one wee bit soft corner preference. That way I think Sha Rukh Khan lost out in expecting too much from his team. It was after all a game and they did well after he left with grand wins over Chennai and Rajasthan Royals.

It is not enough if you are the owner of a team.You must be sportive enough to give the team leeway to be players first and winners next.I hope Shah Rukh watched those stunning performances of his team.One more lesson as I watch the games in progress is that only some have clicked in all the teams and so the vagrancy.Perhaps that is the charm of being Twenty always.Youth.....is always Twenty- Twenty? and error prone.

Jayamala.
