Singing-->> More than a passion

Hi friends!!.. There are ppl who jus sing for time pass, bathroom singers and so on, well i am one such who belongs to this list.. But of late singing has turned out to be more than a passion for me.. I started singing when i was 9 yrs Old.. My parents used 2 send me 2 carnatic classes and in my part i was so sincere in attending those.. But i was unfortunate not to learn it properly and ended up just learning it for a year(I don even remember now what I learnt :P), i find it now to be the greatest mistake which I have made in my life L.. Though I stopped learning singing my passion towards singing has never been down.. Wherever I go and whatever the place be, I used to hum some song or the other and always on the touch with music and loving it totally..

School days are never forgettable J.. This incident took place when I was in my 6^th std, I went for my school choir band selections.. Actually don’t remember what is sung, but the ultimate comedy what I did was I got selected and then came out without joining the choir & finally ended up getting scolding from my friends for what reason I went for the selectionsJ.. Then during my 11^th &12^th std my main pass time during our chem and phys classes were, myself singing songs 2 my friends of their choices(Sorry ppl I know how much u ll would have cried inside :P).. We used to go to inter college culturals but hardly there were singing competitions, but I did sing a few in some schools..

College has been one such place which has helped me in bringing out my talent.. Though I didn’t get enough opportunities to exhibit what I know, I got a nice set of friends around me who are always there to back me up and encourage me in whatever I have done!! [Thanks a lot ppl!! :)].. College has been the one beginning place where I was appreciated a lot for my singing.. I used 2 be so happy when my own class mates used 2 stand by my side always.. My 1^st venture in my college was when I sang JUNE PONAL for my super seniors FAREWELL which I was appreciated for( well most of the occasions I used to sing the same song, sorry ppl just a reminder I can sing other songs too :P).. I sang in my College culturals, dept symposiums and Inter department competitions which has made me think singing more than a passion for me now.. I started thinking over to take singing as a new goal in my life.. I have attended many competitions like Airtel super singer, Athiradee singer, Top singer all ended up in vain.. Then I knew I was not up to the mark (Infact Zero :))..

These small small appreciations though they bought happiness in my life, something or the other made me re-think that i missed something big.. Yes the gr8 mistake I made was not learning carnatic properly, because when ppl say my normal singing was acceptable it would have be far better when I have a sound knowledge about the ragas.. There is nothing like a person has learnt everything.. Though I don’t know anything I have the thrive to learn it.. These shows have made me thing that learning and practice will make ppl achieve gr8 heights.. This is the initial stage of my life, I have started taking this seriously and I am very determined to achieve something in this field and started working on this to achieve something.. With full confidence and with u ppl’s blessings hoping so I ll become a singer in d nearby future :)..

India on a roll!! Back to back wins!!.. Beats Eng in the 2nd ODI...

England expected to bounce back in the 2nd ODI.. Their hopes were brutally destroyed by the same man yet again Yuvraj Singh who seems to improve game by game, following up with his second consecutive century , rescuing India from a top-order collapse and dismissing four of England's top five batsmen, he remains as england's nightmare. He lead India to a comfortable victory margin of 54 runs..

England were initially on the top early in the game, having reduced India to 29 for 3, but india recovered strongly with the fourth wicket between Yuvi and Gauti. Yuvraj went on to score 118 and gauti 70.. India scored India to 292 for 9 at the end of their 50 overs..

The target was always going to challenge England and they were out of the contest just managing to score 238..

India Leads the series 2-0.. The Man of the match was Yuvi for his brilliant 118 and 4 wicktes!!..

Indian's Trash Eng in the 1st Ind-Eng 7 ODI series!!.. India wins by a big margin!!..

Pietersen's decision to field inspite of winning the toss which ended to be a tradedy form the team.. An utter disaster striked england with India posting 387 for 5 in 50 overs displaying a great strokeplay. Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag added 125+ runs for the first wicket, after which Yuvraj Singh stook like a tiger with an unbeaten 138 from only 78 balls.

It was the second highest ever total.. England could only reply with 229 facing a huge margin losing to the host's india..

Having their 1-0 lead in the four-match series, with a crushing 320-run win in Mohali, India now move to Nagpur for the last match of the series Kumble, who decided to quit after playing his final Test at his happy hunting ground delhi.

Only an extraordinary batting collapse could have forced a result which hard hardly anything for the bowlers other than the spinners. Taking 20 wickets was an impossible task, as the first two innings alone yielded nearly 1200 runs.

The australian attack finally regained some of its standard bowling and tried hard to get rid off Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir in the morning , but it did not prove enough in the end. India declared there second innings at 208 for 5 with VVS Laxman batting on 59 and Sourav Ganguly on 32.Chasing 245 in 23 overs, Australia finished at 31 for no loss and the test was drawn as temmates lifted Kumble off the ground and all came in turn to wish him.

In 132 Tests, Kumble took 619 wickets, the most among Indians. He injured his finger on his left hand on the day 3 in the third Test which made him think about his decision to retire. He captained India to three wins, with the 72-run victory at Perth against Australia undoubtedly one of the Greatest wins for indian cricket.
