Soft Corner of Tejas Lakhani

When Australia beat pakistan in T20 2010 Semifinal 2, it was match to watch out for….

Here I would like to recall the conversation we had with one of my friend “Apurva Badheka” , doctor by profession. We often tease him for being Aussie fan.

Below are few of the lines directly taken from his emails to us some 31/2 years back

“I have always been criticised for bein an oz  supporter. i just wanted to let u know why i do
 that. not bcoz aus is the best team in the world. an india/pak has more talent than an entire aus in
 its smallest borough.
 aus plays the game with 110% dedication. u wil never
 find them loose imp matches for the lack of a fight.
they wil bleed til they are dry and then ask for
  transfusion so that they can bleed more. thats the
  spirit i have always espoused in life for myself.
 a  sachin wil never equal a waugh. no1 can play the
 match  from dead end hopeless situations like the tugga.
 no1  can finish off the match no matter how long the
 odds  like a bevan. no1 can maintain composure and keep
  bowling unerrin line and length like a mcgrath.
 no1  can have more deliveries in an over like a warne.
 no  combo of openers can instil a sense of rock solid
  stability and fear like gilly and haydos.

Hats off to Australia and Hats off to Apurva as well……..Apu the Doc…

I am now an avid aussie fan dude….Der aaye par durast aaye….

In some remote village of India, one masterji is teaching the
Mahabharat katha to class 6 students. He is at the ‘krishnajanma’ part
of it.

Masterji: “Kansa heard the akashwani that his sister’s 8th child is
going to kill him. He was furious. He ordered to put vasudev n devki
behind the bars. First son is born, and kansa kills him by
poisoning… Second one is born n kansa throws him off the mountain
peak. Third one is born…”

Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his hand. Masterji, I
have a doubt (sounding nervous n confused)

Masterji: “Ramu bete, whole India does not have doubt in mahabharata
then how come u have one?”

Ramu : Masterji, if Kansa knew that Devaki’s 8th child was going to
Kill him, WHY THE HELL DID HE PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL
?

Masterji fainted…………………….
