Annihilated England dig their own grave

 Third test cricket match between India and England is going to end today that is the 2nd day itself !

England second innings was miserable and no batsmen could stand firmly at the crease . On a spinner friendly pitch , Indian spinning duo axar patel and ashwin spinned their web over England and they were all out for just 81 runs .

They have given the target of 49 runs to India to win the third test match . India surely going to reach the target today itself and will win the match .

Axar Patel has started the destruction of English second innings . They had lost their openers when the score card was reading 0 runs ! 

Ashwin has become the fourth bowler who has taken 400 wickets . India has already scored 11 runs out of 49 runs which are needed to score to win this match .


Can't believe . .. What is happening ?

 Today is the second day of 3rd test against England . As England had won the toss and elected to bat first , I didn't watch yesterday's game   . Also it is a day and night match . My eyes will shutdown automatically after 9 pm .

So today afternoon I switched on tv . That time India were 113/3 . Rohit Sharma and Rahane were at the crease . Sharma was 66 . I thought these two will score runs and will help India to post a big total . 

I thought like that and went to have my lunch . When I returned , I had a emotionally breakdown . Why ? India were 130/8 !

Just in a gap of 15 runs , India had lost 5 important wickets . It is difficult to believe . The culprit is spinner friendly pitch . Yesterday when English batsmen could not stand Indian spinners , I didn't imagined that next day itself out side is also going to have the same situation .

Answer got backfired ....

It was a school in a remote and quite place . Classes were going on . A teacher was giving dictation to students . Suddenly , he felt sleepy and sat down on the chair and fell asleep leaning on table .


Students were surprised by this and started doing fun of teacher . That time itself , teacher got awake . He was ashamed that he fell asleep during the class hours and infront of students .

But he was not ready to get embarrassed . Hence , he cooked up a story and said to students that he was actually not sleeping . He went to dreamland to clarify his doubts with his seniors .


Students seemed to have agreed with this . After many days of this incident , same teacher caught a student who was sleeping during his lecture .


On questioning  , the student replied , "  I went to the same dream land where you had been . But there was no one there . So I returned in empty hand "!


By now , teacher realized that his words are backfiring him . So he kept quiet .

Different from others.

 As I was saying yesterday in my blog ,India has put a mammoth total of 482 runs as the target to win for England . Still 2 more days of play is there . I don't think England would be able to score that many runs courtesy the cricket pitch .

In today's match , Indian second innings was highlighted by the century ( 103 runs ) of Ashwin . Ashwin is a spin bowler plus he can bat too . In the first bowling session of India , he has taken 4 wickets of English batting line .

Today he has scored a century . These facts many of us by this time ate aware of . I thought of doing something different . So I am writing about last batsman of Indian side , Mohammed Siraj . 

He came to crease when Ashwin was about to hit the century . When Ashwin had hit the century  , Mohammed Siraj was seen celebrating as though he had hit the century .

Not only this  , Mohammed Siraj himself had hit 2 big Sixers . It was evident that Indian side is tension free and so am I . It is difficult for England to draw the match also as still 2 more days of playing is remaining .

Today is india's day !!

 Today is the 2nd day of second test cricket match between India and England . Yesterday India had wrapped up their playing with 300/6 . They added 29 more runs to their innings and were all out .

Next starts England story of sadness . The cricket pitch is supporting spinners . Hence Indian skipper Kohli asked only 3 bowlers to bowl. Ishant Sharma , Axar Patel and Ashwin .

The magic done by these were such that no English batsmen could reach 30 runs . England were all out for just 134 runs . After English first innings , India too have started their second innings . They are 54/1 with a lead of 249 runs .

One thing is sure for this match . That is this match is not going to get draw and India has the highest possibility of winning this match and from now only I am feeling happy !!!

Why did I switch on tv ?

Today afternoon I was watching news channel on tv . That time , a newsbyte was rolling on the screen . It read England has finished playing their second innings and set the target of 420 runs for India to win . 

I thought now it is going to be interesting . Still one full day to play and 10 wickets in hand for India ! 

I changed the tv channel and started watching match . Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill were playing . But as soon as I started watching the match , Rohit Sharma got out !! 

I felt very bad . If I didn't start watching the match , Rohit Sharma would not get out . I did a great mistake . To rectify my mistake , I decided not to watch remaining match .

 Through news channel , I came to know that India were 37/1 when the match was ended .

ಲವಣ ಎಂಬ ಅಸುರ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ವಧೆ

ಲವಣ ಎಂಬ ಅಸುರ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ವಧೆ



ಶ್ರೀರಾಮ ನ ಕಥೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಮಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಗೊತ್ತಿದೆ . ರಾಮನಿಗೆ4 ಜನ ತಮ್ಮಂದಿರು . ಅವರೇ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ , ಭರತ ಮತ್ತು ಶತೃಘ್ನ.

ರಾಮ ವನವಾಸ ಮುಗಿಸಿ ಅಯೋಧ್ಯೆಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದಾನೆ . ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಡೆ ಸುಭಿಕ್ಷೆ . ಹೀಗಿರಲು ಒಂದು ದಿನ ಲವಣ ಎಂಬ ಅಸುರ ಮತ್ತು ಆತನ ಉಪಟಳ ದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ .


ಲವಣ ನ ಬಳಿ ಒಂದು ತ್ರಿಶೂಲ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ . ಇದನ್ನು ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ ಶಿವನೇ ಆತನ ತಂದೆಗೆ ವರವಾಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿ ರು ತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅದು ಯಾರ ಬಳಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೋ , ಅವರನ್ನು ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೋಲಿಸಲು ಆಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ .

ಈ ವರದಿಂದ ಲವಣ ಲೋಕ ಕಂಟಕ ನಾಗಿ ಇರುತ್ತಾನೆ . ರಾಮ ಇದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತನ್ನ ಸೋದರ ರಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಲು , ಶತೃಘ್ನ ತಾನು ಲವಣ ನ ವಧೆಗೆ ಹೊರಟು ನಿಲ್ಲು ತ್ತಾನೆ .


ಆಗ ರಾಮ ಶತೃಘ್ನ ನ ಬಳಿ ಆತನ ಸಂಹಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಉಪಾಯ ದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ . ಏನೆಂದರೆ ಲವಣ ತನ್ನ ತ್ರಿಶೂಲ ವನ್ನು ಒಂದು ಗುಪ್ತ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಇಡುತ್ತಾನೆ , ಬೆಳಗ್ಗೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂಜೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ ನಂತರವೇ ಆತ ಹೊರಗೆ ಬರುವುದು . ಆ ಹೊತ್ತಿಗೇ ಮೊದಲು ಆತನನ್ನು ಯುದ್ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಆತ ತ್ರಿಶೂಲ ವನ್ನು ಮರೆತು ಯುದ್ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುತ್ತಾನೆ . ಆಗ ಆತನನ್ನು ಸಾಯಿ ಸಬಹುದು .



ಶತೃಘ್ನ ಅಂತೆಯೇ ಮಾಡಿ ಲವಣ ನ ವಧೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.

Who is the great devotee ?

It was the time when the Kurukshetra war got ended . Pandavas had won the battle and got their land back too .

Now Arjuna had developed a feeling that it is because of him , Pandavas have won the battle . It is because of his skill in archery and also because of the divine arrows he got from God Shiva himself , Pandavas have managed to win the battle .



Arjuna started to worship God Shiva as a token of thanks to him . He built a big temple of God Shiva . Daily he used to worship God by offering huge quantity of flowers and in a grand way .


Krishna came to know of Arjuna's ego and decided to crush it . So he suggested Arjuna that they go to Kailash to see how Arjuna's prayers being received from the God Shiva himself .


They both started their journey . When they are about to reach Kailash , they observed huge quantity of flowers are getting dumped into quarries . Arjuna looked at Krishna with a smile and said him that these are the flowers he offered in the morning .


Krishna decided to ask the Labourer , who offered these flowers ? Labourer replied that Bhim has offered these flowers and daily he does . Flowers are in such a huge quantity that there is no space left in Kailash to dump them .


That time Arjuna said that he himself had offered these flowers and not Bhim . But labourer sticked to his words . Then they both returned .



Next morning , Krishna and Arjuna both went near Bhim to have a look at the pooja he is preparing .



Pooja of Bhim was very simple . He took a bath and came near Shivling . He closed his eyes and chanted Om Namah Shivaya , 9 times with pure devotion . That's all .


By watching this , Arjuna got ashamed of his type of worshipping . Worship has to be done through the mind not by showing off .
