Mahendra Singh Dhoni

In last 1 year this name has been synonym to a person who is believed by 1000 million Indians. Well Indian captain in whose captaincy India has reached heights of being the best team. Defeated newzeland, westindies, England, SriLanka, Australia on their own soil. Won first ever T20 wordcup where no one was expecting India to even reach semifinal. Dhoni is the man who still is ranked 1 batsman in icc rankings. Dhoni has been one of the greatest finishers in ODI cricket. He is just rock solid who never gets out easily.

Still in recent two cricket, India could not reach semi finals. Everyone was surprised why. Is it over confidence?
Is it IPL fatigue? Is it just that Dhoni's honeymoon is over?

Dhoni really has struggled in hitting the way he used to be. We all really miss Dhoni style. The shots which only dhoni could play. Dhoni was a batsman who could hit six on each ball. Well now he is transformed into a rock solid batsman who doesnt hit but doesn't get out easily as well.

Well I don't know what is the reason behind the defeat. I believe probably failure of Rohit, Suresh Raina (who had been really very great in IPL). Whatever be the reason, Indians should not just get carried away and start questioning Dhoni because of just one defeat.

My radio appearance :-)

A lot of people have had trouble with the way I speak :-)
Most of the people start understanding me after spending some time with me.
Today on thinking over this thing I just recollected some memories. Actually I can say some good memories.

I was in Bikaner radio studio on a show in which some kids from my school had been selected for some reading some poems songs etc. I had been given task of reading a poem on BASANT (spring), I finished reading it. After that a very tough situation came to me I had to read one more poem along with a girl. Till that time I was very different person. I didnt like any girls and wanted to just stay away from them. You cant imagine how embarrassing it was for me to read a poem with a girl :( (the reason why I hated girls was that in school days there was no guy who who got marks even closer to what I used to get but there were some stupid girls who used to come closer at time and again :( )
Anyways the radio jockey who now I think was a pretty girl :-), asked me "Ashish wil be reading one more poem, Ashish are you reading one more poem again or Sandhyan is with you(dont remember if name really was sandhya or not). I was like in my mind "WTH, how can I say she is with me but I cant deny that either". I just thought of a diplomatic answer and said "YES" :-P and continued reading the poem with that girl.
Really when I think about those days I feel "wow those were days, so pretty girls wanted to talk to me and I gave shit to none (well this is pretty much the opposite case now except a few excetptions :-) )

Well atleast I used to be eloquent sometime :-)
