Today is the first T20 match between India and South Africa.
India won the toss and chose to field first.
South Africa had a disastrous beginning. Their top 4 batsmen are out for duck.
The way batsmen are getting bowled out, seems pitch is responsible.
But later South Africa did manage to stabilise all because of Keshav Maharaj.
South Africa finally put the target of 107 runs to win for India.
Looks like India is playing good.
According to my theory, India must win this match.
This blog article I am writing to mark the series win of India against Australia in T20 cricket matches.
First of all, I would like to commend myself for my precious advice for team India.
After the first T20 match itself, I had written a blog article named Tosses win matches.
In that, I had said that first we have to win the toss and select to bowl first.
In yesterday's game same thing happened. India won the toss and chose to field first.
I was watching the game. But Green was turning my face to go red in anger by his scoring shots.
But after Green got out, Australia could not continue to score in the same run rate.
I stopped watching there itself. Today I watched the highlights and saw batting beauty of Surya.
In the final over, Kohli had hit the 6 and almost confirmed the win of India. But he got out in the next ball itself.
Finally duo of Kartik and Hardik officially confirmed the win.
As I said earlier, this article I am writing just to praise my ability of analysing the situation and then giving FREE advice.
Congratulations for ME !!!
It was not an easy job........
I spotted a dumbest contestant on Koun Banega Karodpati .
Amitabh Bachchan asked this question.
Through which of these states eastern ghat passes through?
Gujarat
Andhra Pradesh
Rajasthan
Kerala
By looking at the options , we can say the answer.
It's common sense that eastern ghat comes in eastern side of India .
By looking at the options , we can conclude that out of the 4 names of the states , only one state lies in eastern side which is Andhra Pradesh .
Remaining other 3 states are in western direction of India .
But for this simple question also , contestant could not tell the answer and took the life line .
According to me , this contestant is the dumbest of all .
The tongue of the snake captures the little pieces of smell that are floating in the air.
This tongue that holds the smelly air is brought back to the mouth of snake and pressed against the roof of the mouth.
When the snake's tongue go back to its mouth, it is put into 2 pits.
The air particles that are pressed in these 2 pits, sends the information to the brain of snake.
This is how a snake's tongue is used to smell.
Snake's like python have their nostrils on top of their heads.
Yesterday was the T20 match between India and Australia.
Australia won the toss and bowled first.
Indian's starting was a good one to watch. Openers Rohit Sharma and Rahul gave India a good start.
Though Kohli failed, rest of the batsmen Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya played good shots to put the target 208 runs.
India had posted a competitive score.
But fielding as the second side is difficult in night matches because of the dew factor.
That's why I said Tosses win matches.
Though Hardik Pandya shined, it was not enough.
Bowler Bhuvaneshwar Kumar proved costly.
Australian batsman Mathew Wade was successful in chasing the total.
India lost the match to Australia.
By this match, one thing is crystal clear.
WIN THE TOSS AND SELECT TO BOWL FIRST.
Day before yesterday, we brought 8 cheetahs from Namibia.
After watching them on TV, I thought we have them in our forests. Then
what is the need to bring them from Namibia?
In Indian forests, we have leopards not cheetahs.
These 8 cheetahs are the only cheetahs in our country.
They were declared extinct in our country 70 years back.
What we have brought from Namibia are African cheetahs.
In India, we had Asiatic cheetahs. But extensive hunting and loss of their
habitat lead to their extinction. Now few of them are survived only in Iran.
Cheetahs are the fastest running animals but not leopards.
Both leopards and cheetahs can climb trees.
Unlike other wild cats, cheetahs are not an active threat to humans.
Cheetahs are friendliest to humans. Kings used to take cheetahs with
them during hunting.
People say that we can differentiate between leopard and cheetah based on
the black marks found on their skin.
But who is going to take the risk of identification after all they are wild
animals !!!
Story of Viradha is found in Ramayana when Sri Rama goes to Dandaka
forest in his exile period.
Viradha was a huge demon. He had got a boon from God Brahma that no
weapon would kill him. The boon made him arrogant and fearless. He roam
around the world attacking all living beings.
Viradha makes a sudden appearance before Sri Rama, Laxman and Sita.
Before the brothers can understand what was happening, Viradha had
snatched Sita.
Soon a fight started between Sri Rama, Laxman and Viradha.
In a fit of rage, Viradha carried Sri Rama, Laxman and Sita, deep into the
forest.
When they reached the dense forest, brothers decided to kill Viradha.
The brothers cut off the arms of Viradha. The demon finally fell on the
ground.
As the demon could not be killed by weapons, the brothers decided to
strangle and bury him.
That time, he started to tell his story.
Viradha was the gandharva by the name Tumburu .
He was cursed by Kubera to born as a demon.
Kubera had said that Tumburu would be relieved of his curse when Sri
Rama defeats him in a fight.
When Viradha got buried, he regained his original form as the gandharva.
This question was asked in Koun Banega Karodpati.
In their natural habitat , which of these animals will not meet
Penguin ?
1. Leopard seal
2. Polar bear
3. Killer whale
4. Arctic tern
The question itself says , in their natural habitat.
This is the hint .
Now question is very straightforward .
We can see penguin only in Antarctica that is south pole.
We can see polar bears only in arctic region that is north pole .
So , in their natural habitat , penguin will not be seen with polar bears .
But in a zoo , we can see them together !!!
This story dates back to Mahabharata .
It was the time when Krishna killed his maternal uncle Kamsa . Now he has
come to release his parents Devaki and Vasudeva .
Kansa had held them captive and put them in prison . It was 14 years since
then . Till Krishna arrives in Mathura , Devaki and Vasudeva were in prison
itself .
Devaki asked Krishna that why did he take so much time to come and
release them ? That time Krishna replied it is all according to their karma .
He further explained , " Devaki in her previous birth , that is in Rama avatar
, she was Kaikeyi . Kaikeyi was the main reason behind Sri Ram going to
forest for 14 years . That karma haunted her in her next birth in Krishna
avatar . She had to repay it .
Devaki was satisfied with this answer . Now she wanted to know who as Sri
Ram mother Kausalya born as ? For that Krishna replied Kausalya has born
as Yashoda .
As in Rama avatar , Rama was away from his mother for 14 years , in
Krishna avatar , Krishna has spent his first 14 years of childhood with
Yashoda .
Whatever kaikeyi and kousalaya had done in their previous birth, that
karma now they are experiencing as Devaki and Yashoda.
KARMA haunts every one.
Even Gods had to follow according to their karma .
This question was there in the Koun Banega Karodpati program.
Before listening to question, I was not aware of this.
Question is - - - -
Which animal is found only in India but not in Africa?
1. Lion
2. Tiger
3. Elephant
4. Rhinoceros
Listening to the question, I thought all these animals are present in Africa.
But I have observed that in a jungle, if there are lions present in a forest,
then we will not find tigers over there.
They avoid each other.
Tigers are native to Asia. May be they have not migrated to other places.
But one thing is sure.
We find leopards, cheetahs, lions and other cats in Africa. But not
tigers.
The gases used for the refrigeration are mainly halogenated compounds
of methane gas.
They are less toxic and less flammable.
But they can cause a person to be dizzy if inhaled.
But these gases can pose suffocation hazards as they can displace oxygen
in confined spaces like inside the refrigerator.
But these gases can cause global warming as these are greenhouse gases.
Yesterday was the T20 do or die match for India against Sri Lanka.
This match India had to win to go to the next round.
India batted first. But both the Indian openers failed miserably and got out.
Next we had a line of batsmen who can hit the ball to 6 and 4 s. The IPL star batsmen.
But all of them failed to occupy the crease.
Only Rohit Sharma played a captain's knock and hit 75 runs.
Bowling department is much more worse than batting. Fast bowlers and spinners both of them easily got punished.
Finally India had lost the game against Sri Lanka.
But one thing still makes me happy.
In the final over, one Sri Lankan fielder dropped the catch of Indian batsman.
The ball directly came to his hand. But he dropped the ball to ground.
That reminded me of Arshdeep Singh who had dropped the catch in the similar way against Pakistan.
Surprisingly Sri Lanka showed the good batting line up. They did good
bowling too as they were successful in taking early wickets and hence built
up the pressure on Indian batsmen.
Yesterday was the T20 match between India and Pakistan of Asia Cup.
Pakistan had won the toss and as obvious elected to field first as later falling
dew would make fielding difficult.
Though Indian openers Rahul and Rohit started the innings with the bang,
but later batsmen batted slowly.
Ravindra Jadeja's inavailability and Hardik Pandya 's duck cost India more
as India would have scored 30 more runs in their presence.
Mohd Rizwan occupied the crease from the beginning. Really he turned out
to be the fatal blow for winning dream of India.
It is the first time in the Asia Cup matches that India has lost to Pakistan..

In Ganesh ashtottara shatanamaavali, it is referred God Ganesh as dvaimaturaya.
It is a Samskrit word meaning having 2 mothers.
We all know that Goddess Parvati as mother of Ganesh. Now who is the other mother?
According to Padma Purana,
Once while playing, Goddess Parvati prepared a doll and gave it the shape of elephant head.
Then she threw that doll to river Ganga.
That doll grew in size and came to life.
Now both Parvati and Ganga called him as SON.
Hence God Ganesh is also called as Gangeya ( son of Ganga).
Hence God Ganesh is also called dvaimaturaya ( having 2 mothers ).
