Many times during the 21 years of my life, i have got a feeling that life is like a play where people like us are playing different characters. But most of the times i say to myself that's is not true because life does not have a fixed story line or a script based on which everything happens. i have always felt that the suspense part in life is what makes it unpredictable. It is the reason why people say that no body can guess what is going to happen next yet we all seem to balance each other. But now i feel that some part of our life is planned and we are playing certain roles but nobody knows what role we are playing but we end up helping many people and make them our friends and we also end up hurting people, they become our enemies.<br /><br />Life has a purpose, all of us have some purpose in life. Many of us realize our purpose a bit late and a few realize it earlier. When we start working towards our goal we cross many stages, we meet many people who can be generally classified as friends and enemies. These are the people who help you to achieve your goal and these are also the people who stand as an obstacle in your way towards success.<br /><br />In short life can be treated as a game where u have a mission that you are supposed to complete at any cost. This is a game where many fail and only the best prevail. Be brave and face your problems with courage. Life is too short to be worried about so act quickly and work towards your goal.

<span>I quit writing posts in this blog couple of months back and Its been a while since i have blogged. Few days back i popped into my blog and i noticed that my blog had many visitors and i received comments in my cbox saying that they are missing me lots. I started thinking of the good times that i had when i used to blog. So today i decided to get back to blogging. I have changed the look of my blog and deleted many of the stupid and nonsense post i had written in my blog. From now i will be writing </span>sensible stuff and i am sure all of you will like it. This is a new start i hope you all will support me in this.

I watched the movie Thoda pyar thoda magic. It is a hindi movie. Saif ali Khan and Rani Mukherji playing the lead roles. The movie also has Amisha patel and Rishi Kapoor. This is a movie that is targeted at the kids. The characters are a bit funny because Rishi Kapoor plays the role of God and Rani is an angel. In the movie Saif is an industrialist and he kills a couple in a freak road accident. The couple have four children. The judge announces a verdict that Saif is supposed to take care of the four kids as they have no relatives. There is a condition that is if the kids are not taken cared of properly then he will be sent to jail for 20 years. Then there starts the war between the kids and Saif. Rishi kapoor sees this and he sends Rani to sort out the things between them. She comes in as a caretaker for the kids. The rest of the story is how she joins the kds with Saif and how an angel like Rani falls in love with Saif. In the end Rani says to God (rishi kapoor) that she wants to stay back in the earth itself with Saif and kids. Thus the movie ends happily. Kids will like this movie as rani shows her angel powers frequently and for adults its a time pass movie

It was a fantastic match between Germany and Turkey in the Euro 2008 semi finals. I didn’t mis even a second in the match and i was glued to the television for the full 90 minutes. I didn’t expect Turkey to draw the first blood. But they were very close to score a goal and they were penetrating the German defense very easily. After about four minutes Germany leveled back from a goal by schwinstiger. There were no more goals in the first half. In the second half Germany scored from a Klose header and now Germany was leading 2-1. But all was not lost for Turkey. hey cam back strong and drew 2-2 by a fantastic goal by the midfielder. The game progressed into extra time and Federic Lahm was the Saviour for the Germans he scored a fantastic goal by beating the goal keeper and by that time it was all gone for the Turks and they knew there was no time left to equalize. Thus Germany have qualified to the finals and we shall see who will be competing with them in the finals soon.

Max Mosley escaped the sack yesterday, but he did not even venture on to the pavement at the Place de la Concorde to face the world.<br /><br />He slipped in and out of the meeting room by an internal door, as furtively as he sidled down that Chelsea street and into the basement flat where he handed over £2,500 for an afternoon's sado-masochistic pleasure.<br /><br />Where was Mosley the showman? Where was his triumphal speech? Why did he not prove he can discharge his public role by venturing on to the street in his moment of glory?

How Sourav Ganguly would wish he had found some form early in the tournament, especially after he inspired Kolkata to two wins late in the piece. Ganguly the captain is usually at his best when his batting clicks. He turned it on when he could with the ball, notably in his spell to thwart Bangalore.<br />What Ganguly might regret, though, is not getting his combination right for most of the tournament. Chris Gayle's injury was a big blow, especially after Ricky Ponting and Brendon McCullum left, but the amount of confidence reposed in Mohammad Hafeez was slightly baffling. Ajit Agarkar started well but didn't deserve the long rope he got. It was probably in their very last game that Kolkata got their right combination. By then it was just a bit too late.<br />Dravid, surprisingly, finished among the top 12 run-getters but it was never going to be enough with a faltering team. He did try and put up a brave fight and ended the campaign with a few smiles, but these were just a few positives from a forgettable campaign.<br />He may introspect on how Bangalore won just one game among the five where he won the toss. He said they were trying to come to grips with the nuances of the format and didn't really have a preferred option at the toss. The selections of a few XIs were puzzling, and they also made a habit of choking when the target was in sight.<br />Neither VVS Laxman nor Adam Gilchrist will look back on the IPL too fondly. Both watched one close loss after another and by the end one could almost see them coming. Laxman veered from too conservative to too experimental - against Punjab at home no bowler got to bowl two overs in a row - but struggled to strike a balance. Things might have turned around had Warne not smashed Symonds for 17, but when it came to close finishes Deccan were always second best.<br />Gilchrist couldn't really express himself, with the knowledge hanging over him that a collapse was likely just round the corner. The rest of their overseas players sleepwalked through the series and it was left to Rohit Sharma and Venugopal Rao to earn a few consolation prizes.

<div class="entry"> <p>Focus this is just a five letter word which has a lot of meaning in it. Every humane being has many ambitions in life he sets numerous goals for him self and nobody knows whether he achieves them or not but if he does one can be sure that the a person was focused on what he was doing and was clear about what he wanted. It is very essential that all of us should be focused on what we are doing to ensure that we succeed in whatever we do.</p> <p>The reason why i am em phasing on the need to focus is tat if one deviates his attention from what he must actually do then it will become very tough for that person to complete what he was doing and to succeed in life. We must never allow such situations to arise and must always be focused on every thing we do in life.</p> </div>

The Chelsea goalkeeper will be having nightmares about the role he played in the Czechs' stunning implosion during their winner-takes-all Group A clash. two goals ahead and seemingly cruising with 15 minutes remaining, they were suddenly hit by a Turkish stampede that first resulted in Arda Turan's strike which reduced the deficit to 2-1.<p class="story"> Cech then produced a monumental gaffe with four minutes left, spilling a routine catch from a high cross at the feet of Nihat Kahveci, who could not believe his luck as he tapped home into an empty net. Worse was to follow for Cech when his side's defence went missing moments later, allowing Nihat to curl home a sensational third off the bar as Turkey snatched a 3-2 win and second place in the group.</p><p class="story">For Cech, who is usually impeccable under the high ball, the loss drew a line under a miserable end to a season on a personal level. Not only did Chelsea see Manchester United beat them to the Barclays Premier League title on the final day of the campaign, they also lost to Alex Ferguson's side on penalties in the Champions League final. </p><p class="story">"I think what happened here sums up my season," said the 26-year-old. "Each time I got back fit, I injured myself; each time we finally managed to progress to a final, we lost. </p>

<p><strong>Shane Warne</strong> imposed himself. While hailing his leadership skills nobody should forget the value he offered as a player - no other captain played as many match-winning hands. More than one Rajasthan player has spoken of the boost the side received after Warne's sensational finish <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335990.html">against Deccan Chargers</a>, when he carted Andrew Symonds for 17 off the final over. One team-mate has said how his faith in the captain increased ten-fold that evening. Warne was in the middle in <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336040.html">the final</a> too and the crack through covers in the penultimate over, when 12 were needed off 7, set up the finish.<br />Rattling the Bangalore top order with a bouncer barrage <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335992.html">on a lively Chinnaswamy pitch</a> was a classic case of astute planning coming off. The sight of Warne alerting the fielders at fine leg to anticipate a catch will stick in the mind. So also, Warne giving his faster bowlers one-over spells against Chennai, in the <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336033.html">second match</a> between the sides, was another one of those little surprises that had a big impact.<br />Warne was also blessed with that enviable quality good captains usually need - luck. He won 10 of his 15 tosses, and even when some of his gambles misfired - like the promotion of Sohail Tanvir up the order - it didn't cost them too much. The punt on Swapnil Asnodkar came off spectacularly. And whenever a match went down to the wire, Rajasthan found that extra bit of magic to pull it off.<br /><strong>Dhoni</strong> was the other captain team-mates swore by. His batting made a difference in a few games but it was his ice-cool demeanour that stood out. His side were unstoppable at full-strength, but even after their Australians left, Chennai continued to upset strong teams in close finishes. The decision to hold back L Balaji for the final overs in the <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336013.html">second game against Punjab</a> proved a masterstroke, and the faith he placed in Joginder Sharma to bowl the last over in Chennai's first few games never backfired. Maybe he missed Joginder in the final over of the final too.<br />One wonders how things would have panned out if Dhoni had kept wicket in the second half of the tournament - he has admitted he leads better when he keeps, standing in a position where one can read the game best. He also might just have been more efficient than Parthiv Patel behind the stumps, especially when it came to batsmen taking off for byes to the keeper.<br /><strong>Yuvraj</strong> never really inspired with the bat but was fortunate to have Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene by his side - two allies he regularly turned to. Where Yuvraj did inspire, though, was in the field - he was at the centre of the <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336028.html">cliffhanger in Mumbai</a>, lambasting his fielders for every minor lapse. He bowled a tight over and clinched the win with a diving run-out straight out of the Jonty Rhodes album.<br />The decision to give James Hopes the final over against Delhi - in the <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336022.html">rain-curtailed game</a> - was a brave one, and one that made the eventual difference. And the continued faith Yuvraj reposed in VRV Singh was as surprising as it proved effective. Yuvraj was also fortunate to have the most balanced side in the tournament - one where overseas batsmen and Indian bowlers went about their jobs efficiently. Rarely did Shaun Marsh let them down, and the rest of the order always had a launch pad in place.<br />Early in the tournament <strong>Virender Sehwag</strong> appeared to have netted the best side among the eight. He had a new-ball pairing to die for and a top three that fired in every match; Sehwag could really run the ship on auto-pilot. But things started getting tough when Plan A didn't fall into place.<br />His move to bowl Amit Mishra in the final over <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/336020.html">against Deccan</a> was inspired, and produced a hat-trick. While a smile was never too far from his face, even when the rest were suffering palpitations, Sehwag might look back on a couple of key moments - giving Shoaib Malik the final over <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/336009.html">against Chennai</a> and bowling himself, instead of Glenn McGrath, in the crunch <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/current/match/336022.html">against Punjab</a>. Both games slipped away and the road to the semi-finals got rougher.<br />The excessive faith placed in Malik was intriguing, especially when there was Tillakaratne Dilshan waiting in the wings. Sehwag could possibly have rejigged the batting order once it was clear that the middle four weren't striking the high notes.<br />Mumbai's three captains came with contrasting styles: <strong>Harbhajan Singh</strong> impulsive, <strong>Shaun Pollock</strong> measured, and <strong>Tendulkar</strong> fidgety. In a team with a number of unheralded players, Pollock and Tendulkar were figures to look up to. Abhishek Nayar and Rohan Raje spoke about how eager they were to pay back the faith that a legend like Tendulkar had placed in them.<br />Close finishes, though, were a bugbear for Mumbai. While Harbhajan entrusted bowlers who appeared off-colour - his confidence in Ashish Nehra proved costly <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335985.html">against Bangalore</a> - Tendulkar occasionally also under-used those who appeared on song: he didn't bowl Nehra in the final over <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336036.html">against Rajasthan</a>. "We didn't show enough common sense" was how Tendulkar summarised the last-ball defeat to Rajasthan. The same could have been attributed to several other close misses.<br /><br />to be contd...</p>

<p>The irony was striking. The IPL was supposed to symbolise cricket's future, but the winning captain openly sniggered at laptops. Twenty20 was supposed to be an instinctive form that didn't offer much time for thought, but the finalists were led by the two most charismatic leaders.<br />"If you walk up to a bowler and look worried, it gets to him," said Mahendra Singh Dhoni after the second semi-final. "So I act as if I'm not." At once it conjured up images of Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar - anxious, nervous and hoping for the bowler to hold his nerve while appearing to be losing theirs. There was Yuvraj Singh, who seemed to holler louder as the tension increased, and Harbhajan Singh made a habit of chewing his fingernails.<br />Dravid made an interesting point after the daylight robbery Bangalore pulled off <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/336029.html">in Chennai</a>, when an inexplicable collapse helped his side to a win against the odds. When asked about how well he had led, Dravid blushed. "When you win, every captain looks good. When you lose, whatever you do appears wrong."<br />Admittedly a lot of analysis of captaincy relies on hindsight, but the IPL made one thing clear: the shrewdest survived. Kolkata's John Buchanan wanted his side to approach every game as if they were confronting 240 individual battles, one for each ball. The depth of the planning was evident. Added to that was a demand for quickly adapting to the conditions and changing plans<br /><br />to be contd....</p>

<p class="news-body"> Mohammad Asif, the Pakistan fast bowler, has been held in Dubai on suspicion of possessing drugs. The fast bowler, who tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone, nearly two years ago, was held back by local authorities the day before yesterday though it is believed that they have not yet registered a case against him. </p><p class="news-body"> "Mohammad Asif has been held up since the day before yesterday in Dubai," a senior PCB official told Cricinfo. "So far the authorities haven't told us much but that it is on suspicion of possessing a contraband item." </p><p class="news-body">Though the board had not yet been fully notified, the official said it was believed Asif was caught with a drug, either opium or hashish. Local TV channels have been reporting it as the former. When asked whether the PCB had provided any legal help to Asif in Dubai, the official said only that the situation will be made clear at a press conference the board will hold on the situation this afternoon at 12.30pm (PST). </p><p class="news-body">Asif, along with Shoaib Akhtar, tested positive in an internal dope test conducted by the Pakistan board in October 2006. He was initially banned for one year, though the ban was overturned on appeal a month later. Since then, one of the most promising fast bowlers on the world circuit has been dogged by a long-standing elbow problem. The injury had already taken the sheen away from a prodigious start to his international career and this new development is likely to do so even more. </p>

<p class="news-body"> Soon after moving to Jaipur, Shane Warne wrote a paper which would serve as the vision for the Rajasthan Royals over the next 44 days. Warne's plan culminated in success as the Indian Premier League's least expensive franchise edged the Chennai Super Kings in the final. </p><p class="news-body"> In the paper titled 'What's My Role', Yusuf Pathan's task was: "1. Be aggressive, dominate the start of the innings. Play with freedom, take 'em [bowlers] on. 2. [Bowl] Stump-to-stump off-spin. 3. Field in the ring early on and in the deep later." </p><p class="news-body">Yusuf played his part to perfection in the finale, flattening Chennai with a match-winning all-round show. First, his accurate line cramped the batsmen, and he dismissed the openers in his first two overs. His tight bowling frustrated the dangerous Albie Morkel, who became his third victim - mistiming a pull. Yusuf's strikes dried up the runs and ensured Chennai could manage only a modest total. </p><p class="news-body">With low-scoring encounters the trend at the DY Patil Stadium, Chennai were still hopeful and their confidence soared as Rajasthan stumbled to 42 for 3 in the seventh over. In walked Yusuf at a stage when his team desperately needed someone to deliver. </p><p class="news-body"> One of Yusuf's strong points is his willingness to attack in any situation. In the <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/287879.html">World Twenty20 final</a>, his first game with the national team, he hit Mohammad Asif out of the ground. He was sent up the order and he understood his brief clearly. Today was the same. </p><p class="news-body"> Rajasthan appeared edgy as the asking-rate climbed above ten, but Yusuf was unperturbed. After pulling L Balaji for two boundaries, he survived a close call when Suresh Raina failed to latch on to a skier off Muttiah Muralitharan. That was the turning point and in Murali's next over, Yusuf twice sent the ball into the crowd over long-on. By the time he was done, he had scored 56 off just 39 and taken Rajasthan within touching distance of a memorable win. </p><p class="news-body"> Yusuf's power-hitting had been influential in several earlier matches as well: 61 off 28 balls in the third game against Deccan Chargers, 55 off 33 against Kolkata Knight Riders and 68 in 37 in the return match against Deccan. Despite these scores, he admitted he was nervous before he went in. "I spoke to [Jeremy] Snape, the team's mental conditioning coach, and after that I felt good," he said. He was scratchy to begin with, but Shane Watson took the pressure off at the other end as Yusuf found his groove. </p><p class="news-body">Yusuf has pummelled attacks with his clean hitting in domestic games, and his three first-class hundreds in the season gone by have come at a strike-rate well over 100. Irfan Pathan had also acknowledged his elder brother's prodigious talent. "I always thought he was the more talented. It's just that I got lucky and got a break [ for India] sooner." Yusuf's hurricane knocks in the IPL finally convinced the national selectors to pick him for India's ODI squad for Bangladesh tri-series and the Asia Cup. </p><p class="news-body"> Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's limited-overs captain, was well aware of the threat Yusuf posed. "He is one of those players you have to get out," Dhoni said. "You can't let him stay for long because he will score runs and that, too, at a fast rate." </p><p class="news-body">Warne called Yusuf's performance "fantastic". When Warne had presented his vision paper to every individual he had given a tag of responsibility to each player. Yusuf's read "The Statement Maker". The laconic man from Baroda lived up to his billing and made the most telling statement when it mattered. </p>

hough the Indian Premier League is a Twenty20 tournament, Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag wants performances in the high-profile event to be taken into account when the Indian team for the tri-series in Bangladesh is selected on May 30. <p class="news-body">"IPL performances should matter. Everyone is watching it," he said. "I think the selectors should take IPL performances into account when they select the Indian squad." </p><p class="news-body">A number of youngsters have made their mark in the IPL and Sehwag felt, given the amount of international cricket ahead, they should be picked to the national squad on a rotation basis. "So many youngsters have done well in the tournament. For us, Shikhar Dhawan has done well, so have Yo Mahesh and Pradeep Sangwan. </p><p class="news-body"> "India play a tri-series in Bangladesh, they play the Asia Cup in Pakistan and then there is the Champions Trophy. There's a lot of cricket is to be played this year and I think selectors should, on rotation, give chances to the youngsters to play alongside the seniors." </p><p class="news-body">Dilip Vengsarkar, the chairman of selectors, had earlier said that the selectors would watch the second half of the IPL to gauge the form and fitness of players ahead of the tri-series in Bangladesh, which starts on June 8. However, he had also said: "IPL is a very good concept. Young players with potential have come along. But one-day internationals are a different ball game."</p>

<p class="news-body"> Stephen Fleming, the Chennai Super Kings opener, will not be available for his team's remaining matches as he is heading back to New Zealand for the birth of his child. Chennai have qualified for the IPL semi-finals and will now have to find a replacement opener for Fleming before Saturday. </p><p class="news-body">However the Chennai management have decided not to sign on an overseas player as Fleming's replacement. "We thought about it but there isn't sufficient time to get a new player," VB Chandrashekhar told Cricinfo. "We have Chamara Kapugedera in our ranks and will give him some opportunities instead." </p><p class="news-body"> However it is unlikely Kapugedera will play as an opener and Chennai may pick S Vidyut to partner Parthiv Patel at the top of the order. </p><p class="news-body"> Fleming turned out for Chennai after Matthew Hayden left for Australia's tour to West Indies at the start of May. In 10 matches, Fleming has scored 196 runs at a strike-rate of 118.78. </p>

In 1991, Rahman began his own music recording and mixing studio, attached to backyard of his house, called the Panchathan Record Inn. He initially composed music jingles for advertisements, Indian Television channels and music scores in documentaries, among other projects. In 1992, he was approached by film director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for Ratnam's Tamil film Roja. The debut led Rahman to receive the Rajat Kamal award for Best Music Director at the National Film Awards, the first time ever by a first-time film composer. Rahman has since then gone on to win the award three more times for his scores for Minsaara Kanavu in 1997, Lagaan in 2002, Kannathil Muthamittal in 2003, the most ever by any composer.<br /><br />Roja's score met with high sales and acclaim, in its original and dubbed versions, bringing about an effective transformation in film music at the time, and Rahman followed this with scores for films including, among others, Bombay, Kadhalan, Indira, Minsaara Kanavu, Muthu and Love Birds, which gained him notice. His soundtracks gained him recognition in the Tamil film industry and across the country for his versatality in classical, folk, jazz, reggae, soft rock and other styles in his pieces. Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, marked Rahman's debut in Hindi films. Many popular and superhit scores for films including Dil Se and Taal followed. The sales of these albums prompted several film producers to take film music more seriously.<br />Rahman's work is also unique in the fact that his collaborations with some film directors have always resulted in successful soundtracks. In particular, he has worked with Mani Ratnam on ten films until 2006, all of which have been musical hits. Also notable is his collaboration with the director S. Shankar in the films Gentleman, Kadhalan, Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys and Sivaji.<br /><br />His Second movie album Roja was listed in TIME's "Top 10 Movie Soundtracks of All Time" in 2005. Rahman continued to record frequently in his studio, the Panchathan Record Inn. In 2005, a newly developed recording studio, attatched to the Inn called A.M. Studios was opened. It is considered to be the most developed, equipped and high tech studio of Asia. In 2006, Rahman launched his own music label, KM Musiq. It's first release was his soundtrack to the film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal which it released worldwide, in August 2006. His latest work includes Rang De Basanti, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Guru, Varalaru - The History of the Godfather, Sivaji: The Boss, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, and Jodhaa Akbar . Rahman has scored the movie Provoked, co-scored Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and is working on Chamki Chameli to be released in 2008 and Hindi version of Tamil blockbuster Ghajini. He is a recipient of the Padma Shri.<br /><br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/4gfgrz">

<p style="text-align: justify;">At times i wonder if i was meant to be alone all through. Not the way losers think..just something that troubles my mind whenever i get into one of my introspective moods. People are mixed creatures... they want people to share their joys and sorrows and also need their own space in life. I have met a lot of them in my journey of life and can say there is one common thread between all the people in this world... Loneliness!<br /><br />That is one emotion which every one goes through at some point in our life. For some its an occasional feeling and for some its a daily existence. I belong to the category in the middle. I feel detached from the people around me at times and can be in my elements and have the time of my life when i feel like it.<br /><br />Today is one of those days when am feeling contended being on my own. Just some time to ponder what i have been upto and trying to connect with my Inner self.. the person that i really am. And its very comforting to know that though many things have changed and as time moves on... there is that something which can give you the comfort feeling of being something from the past...that something which has been the same all through... Ur Inner self!!!!</p><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/4gfgrz">

<span lang="EN-GB">One thing what i have learned is that, your parents look after you since you are born and till the time you start working and your able to stand on your own legs and look after yourself.
