The "ideal Indian squad" for ICC World Twenty20 2014

Disclaimer: My blog, my space, my choice. Deal with it. Hateful comments will be deleted with pleasure!


Preface

"Oh Kohli is so Handsome"
"Dhawan's moustache is sexy"
"Dhoni is so COOL"
"Yuvraj is TOO GOOD, man"

The motivation Team India needs for winning yet another cup

Back in 2011: "Win It For Sachin"

NO! You won the 2011 ODI World Cup for Indians all around the world, by giving Sachin Tendulkar that victory. That victory ended up being the cherry on the cake. (That is, if I compare Sachin's career to the world's most awesome cake. Mmh, cake. Hehe!)

Who deserves this "dedication" now? In my opinion: win it now for YUVRAJ SINGH. Who in return, will win it for my most favorite, MS Dhoni. Who in return will win it for India. A victory which will inspire NRIs (or Swiss people like me) a lot. An inspiration which can win the 2015 World Cup. And etc.You get the point, right?

No, but jokes apart, come on friends. Yuvi fought a battle so hard, that we deserve to dedicate this victory to him. We have to FIGHT IN HIS NAME. He won us that World Cup in 2011, and now it is time we win this T20 World Cup in his name. Plus, who got those six sixers against that nervous Stuart Broad? Wink wink!

Bleeding is too blue. Chak De India! That's better. (Win it for SRK, who said "Chak De" so fashionably... actually no, Yuvraj you are way too awesome to be neglected here. I am foreseeing a victory in your name, and what I foresee should happen...please!)

CHAK DE PHATTEY! 77 Days to go for this tournament. I just cannot wait for this one...

Final Predictions

South Africa and West Indies will be strong opponents. But as an Indian fan, my natural instinct is to say India are favorites. And one more point: watch out for Ireland.. they are NOT harmless in any way. And I mean it, this is not a joke, just look at the recent tournaments they won.

Agree? Disagree? Please do it politely, and feel free to write a comment below!

Cheers! J

The Avengers (2012) - I'm part of the hype.. oh yes, I am!

The Avengers... now this is a movie, which a huge majority of fans are looking forward to. It's entirely justified. And I'm putting the emphasis on the word "entirely". You take five superhero movies. Different stories, coming from different eras, different contexts, or different places of the universe even! But they all come together in ONE MEGA-SEQUEL. And that's Avengers for you. Most of my friends from my friends-circle over here in Geneva, actually know how excited I am for this flick. And it's funny and ironical, because I never knew that I would turn out to be such a big fan of this Marvel Cinematic Universe. (As it is called by the makers) It all goes back to Iron Man, back in 2008. Initially when the name itself came out, knowing nothing about it, I used to make fun of it: "A superhero with powers of being made out of Iron? What a joke" Well, I then saw the movie, and was totally impressed. Robert Downey Jr. was a-ma-zing in this r

09/10 - Combined Hindi Music Review: Anjaana Anjaani & Robot

Image
Salutations all! :D Hope all are doing well. It's been exactly 1 and half months I've not written on this blog and I must admit it does feel weird to pen down my opinion, after such a long time gap. Anyway, I will be soon writing a blogpost on August and September, two AMAZING months of my life. 2010 is just getting better and better for me! :) I hope all are having a great 2010 as well... Cheers to all! :D But well, this blogpost will mainly consist of reviewing two Hindi movie soundtracks. Both are from forthcoming Bollywood blockbusters. One is the movie ANJAANA ANJAANI. And the other, ROBOT. (Also known as ENDHIRAN - THE ROBOT) The reason why I'm combining both reviews into one blogpost, is because the two soundtracks are very VERY different. Two opposites, in fact. According to me, one of them has failed BIG TIME, and the other, has really emerged as probably the best soundtrack of the year! Now which of the two is the better album, is what you will find

2016 Year In Review for Bollywood, and Upcoming 2017 Releases

Image
Hello one and all! Here's wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, and wishing you lots of happiness, good health, and success this year! Despite posting this a tad later than desired, I did not want to miss out on writing my usual Year In Review for Bollywood post, as it has been a ritual on this blog for the last few years. This post is sort of like my personal Bollywood guide on what I felt to be the best movies of 2016, and the movies to look forward to this year. A quick side note: It has been kind of annoying to read on a few Indian media websites things like "2016 having been a bad year for Hindi cinema" or "2016 not having too many good Hindi movies" - when there have been a good number of well-made movies this year! So here we go, hope you enjoy the following lists, which includes the movies I watched and enjoyed, as well as the movies I couldn't watch but heard good or great things about them. Here we go!
