Oh my Captain !

CSK reached their 11th final in the IPL. Match was played at Chepak. 

On a summer afternoon, over 40 degrees of temperature, an ardent fan, waits in a long queue at the stadium entrance gate. 


Oh my captain!


How do I celebrate?

One last game left,

Before you leave us in eternal thirst.


Born in the '80s,

fell in love with the game,

watched, played, and dreamed it all year.


A little boy grew into a man,

wrote, read, and talked about it all year.


Believed in every World Cup team,

shouted, cheered, and dreamed for years.


Cried and frustrated each time,

carried the pain and longing for years.


Oh my captain!

You are our surprise storm,

showed us hope,

walked us the distance,

and finally made us fly.


You made us feel

what it's like to be a champion.

Even a man who never tasted success in life,

you made him feel like a winner,

you made him feel proud,

you made him feel like a champion.



Oh my captain,


You are a conman of the heart.

I love the game; you made your team my favorite.

I love colors; you made yellow beloved.

I love cheering; you made me whistle loud.

I love to win; you made me a champion, champion, champion, champion, champion.


Oh my captain!


You bestowed us joy,

So many lovely, emotional moments to cherish for life.


Today, I stand under the scorching sun for hours,

Ready to wait in thirst and hunger.

All I need is a glimpse of you walking down to bat

One more time at our fortress-Anbuden,

To be etched in my memory forever.

Here comes a short story from my recent travel experience.... Its 2:15 PM, Landing at Frankfurt Airport-Germany I returned from my homeland-India after summer vacation.12 hours of travel...with drowsy eyes and barotraumatic ears, i dragged myself  to the baggage counter after completing immigration check. Looking at some pretty fellow passengers,air hostess and cute children playing around, i waited to collect my heavy weighted two suitcases from the conveyor belt.When i took out my baggage, i found one of my suitcase wheels was missing...looking at that, I w

Christmas Guest

24 th December 2015 It was 8’0 clock in the evening, Christmas Eve prayer just got over in an Evanglische church located in the outskirts of a small town deep inside of black forest in Germany. Church volunteers were wrapping up the things after the event.   As one of the residents in the church building, I was also invited for the Christmas Eve function; I stayed in a room on the second floor of the same church building which was rented out by church management.  There were totally seven rooms, all were occupied by students from nearby towns and villages who studies in the local college. Black forest is one of the most beautiful regions in the country, not densely populated; sharing borders of Switzerland on one side and France on the other side. I enjoyed my summer time touring around every single holiday, but then came winter, it was heavy, almost snowing every day, weekends were terrible for me, there wasn’t no-much friends for me there and more over neighbor ro

I'm a Finisher

                   In the year 490 B.C, there was a war between Greece and Persian kingdoms. Greece dint have enough potential but their solders outshine Persian tactics and won the battle of Marathon. This news had to be carried to capital Athens along with a warning message that Persian army might attack the city through sea; So Army general had chosen pheidippides (a messenger/runner) to send the message to Athens. He had run all the way from Marathon Battle Ground to Athens around 26 miles. After delivering the message of “Joy to You”, Pheidippides died shortly thereafter from exhaustion. He had died not because of just 26 miles run.. He was sent to contact Sparta army 140 miles away from the battle ground to seek help.280 miles of running (66 Hours) on rugged mountainous path followed by a day of battle and again 26 miles of running (3 Hours) to Athens on the same day wasn’t an easy challenge. He pushed himself past normal limits of human endurance. Later modern Olympics
