Spectacular comeback

I was Exhilarated with the performance of team India against Srilanka today at Hobart in Australia.Virat kohli was the hero today with an outstanding 133* supported by Sehwag(30),Sachin(39),Gambhir(63)and Raina(40*).

As a fan of Indian cricket team,i lost all my hopes when Srilanka who batted first and posted a huge total of 320 on the board,which India has to chase down under 40 overs to gain a bonus point and stay alive in the series.It's always hard to chase any total above 275 for any team and that too under 40 overs was never easy.

Though the total was huge,Indian batsmen came out with a positive mindset and scored over 9 runs for the first 10 overs which gave India a flyer.When wickets of Sachin and Sehwag tumbled quickly i became hopeless and i thought that india would be losing the match. But,virat kohli the star of the evening proved me wrong by scoring a amazing 133 off 86 balls.

He came at a tough situation and held the innings together with Gambhir,played sensible cricketing shots and kept the score board ticking which eventually helped india to score the runs at a good pace.I was glued to the t.v to watch his enitire innings and kept on watching the highlights again and again as to know how did he score so many runs in very less overs .The answer i found was quite simple,he dealt only in fours and sixes.I still can't believe that india won this match and gained a bonus point keeping alive chances of going into final,thanks to Gambhir and Raina who gave their support for kohli in scoring his knock.

I hope that Team india will get into final and continue to play same in the upcoming matches and get better of Australia/Srilanka(whoever is into finals) and go on to win this triangular series.
Lage Raho Team India

Power woes hit again

Power cuts are as common as any other problems for the residents of the city.The only difference between these power cuts in the summer and the rest of the year is that they are just an extended version of those which we generally have.However,we are habituated to that sort of living.

Now,as the summer is about to begin and the Electricity board is all set to make power woes even worse for us Hyderabadis.Despite having such advanced machinery,technologies in hand,why the state E-board is failing to meet power requirements of the city?I wonder E-Board people are least worried about sufficient power provision.

Now,when a few brave persons among us go and ask the same,they say the obvious reasons such as water scarcity or Less Coal generation etc.Why this situation is occurring constantly every year? When monsoon comes,the reservoirs and dams are flooded with water and during that time,they generate power and sell it to other states.Once,summer arrives the coin is reversed and we have to start depending on other states for power due to which frequent power cuts are in course.

I only want to convey one simple message to State E-board,
Dear respected E-board members,we run your company and we deserve to get sufficient Electricity in the first place,not only during monsoon but also in summer.We understand the problems you face and aren't worried about the inevitable hrs of power cut,all we are ask is reduction in the time period(especially during the summer).6-8 hr power cut takes away most of the leisure time a normal person is having at home.This is simply not fair for making us the victims of your mistakes.

So,please keep in mind while you are shutting the power next time about all the people who are losing all their time because of you.
(Please dont consider this seriously,but keep in mind as a simple suggestion )
