A film directed by Ajay Bhupathi starring Karthikeya Gummakonda, Payal Rajput and Ramki ( surprise to see him ). The film is a raw love story between a rural boy and a urban girl. Making of the film is excellent and songs are good.. The screenplay is wonderful with a few twists. The last twist is a total shock.. but great acting on the part of the Lead actors., particularly the heroine with her portrayal of the negative shades wonderfully.. The film is now being remake in Tamil language with aadhi in the lead role...

Rahman Biriyani

Sundays rarely passes away without having a biriyani. This time we decided to have a go in Rahman Biriyani. We have ordered for 2 Chicken biriyani which is priced at Rs.190 each and Rahman special kushka priced at Rs.90 and Chicken Lollipop priced at 190 for 6 pieces. Kushka is just biriyani rice without any meat pieces in it. One chicken biriyani will be more than enough for 3 good eaters, unaware of that we ordered 2 and another kushka as well. We finished one Chicken Biriyani and the remaining in the night. Now let us jump to see how the food was. Biriyani was prepared in basmati rice mixed with very less irritant and more than 3 to 4 deeply cooked chicken pieces with addition to a boiled egg. Brinjal gravy and onion raitha went very well with the rice. Chicken lollipop was fried nicely and the meat pieces were very soft. So finally is it worth for another visit ? Yes for sure, but have to make sure i have to order right amount.
Chicken Biriyani - 7.5 / 10
Chicken  Lollipop  7 / 10

Adam Gilchrist

Adam Craig Gilchrist

Adam Gilchrist, also known as “Gilly” and “Churchy” is a former Australian Wicket Keeper. He is considered to be one of the greatest wicket keeper to have played the sport. Gilchrist, left handed batsman along with Mathew Hayden formed the most dangerous opening pair in the International Circuit. Gilly debuted for Australian Cricket team in 1996 against South Africa, after the then regular keeper Ian Healy got injured. Gilly is known to produce crucial innings in finals, like 54 in WC’99 final, 57 in the WC’03 final against India and 147 in the WC’07 final against Sri lanka.

                                    

Adam got into the Test side in 1999, after Ian Healy was dropped following a poor show in the previous series. Gilly, then became a regular choice as the keeper for the Test side as he did good job as a keeper and also produced handy quick fiery innings down the order.

Adam got the opportunity to captain Australian Team in the T20 World cup 2007, in which they were knocked out by MS Dhoni led India in the semi finals. Adam holds the record of the most dismissals in Test cricket for Australia and second most dismissals in ODI with highest Dismissals to matches ratio. Adam played in IPL for Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab and won IPL second season with Deccan Chargers.

Rishabh Pant

Uttarakhand born cricketer who recently made his test debut in England against the home side. He made a strong point in the second innings of the last test which also seen his maiden test hundred. He made his first runs in test and also reached his maiden test hundred with a six which shows his fearless batting style. Pant was a member in 2016 U19 world cup squad which made him popular when we hit a 18 ball fifty which is the fastest at this level. He earned international call in early 2017 for T20s. He scored tons of runs and almost won Delhi Daredevils many matches single handed in IPL2017 and 2018. He made his first class debut and List-A debut in 2015-16 Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare tournament respectively. In 2016-17 Ranji Trophy, he scored 308 runs against Maharastra and made record for becoming the third youngest and fourth overall to score triple century in first class cricket. He also scored the fastest century in just 48 balls in a match against Jharkhand. The talk among almost all the Indian fans is that he will easily takeover the finisher role after Dhoni hangs his boot up. He has the potential to replace Dhoni as a finisher and to end India's long lasting search for someone to hit big in the slog overs. They tried Kedhar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya to end up with nothing at least for now. Hope he answers all the questions the Indian cricket team and it’s fans are looking for.

Manchester United - When I Became a fan of this great Club

Manchester United - The Club which me and my brother love. When we are speaking about Manchester United, all will speak about the great Sri Alex Ferguson, the Manager, no one in the world will emulate.

When Sir Alex took over as Manager of Manchester United, the club was struggling without any consistency in the premier league. He was the Manager who has the mentality of "No-one is above the club/ Manager". That was paid dividends with the club performing consistently and racking up one trophy another.

Before going further, We were from India wherein Cricket was the most famous sport and no other sport has the coverage and following in India.

Now coming to the point when I started following the Club was the season from 2008 and the same season in which the Club has won the double (Premier League & Champions League). The intensity with which the club has played the season made me look into the sport & the league. 

The season 2011-12 was a little bittersweet for us wherein we have lost the League to the cross town noisy neighbours (Manchester City). However, the season which followed was a memorable one for all the fans like us wherein we have won the league and gave a perfect send-off to the Manager and the way with which we played the season made me to follow the team like anything. 

Now the Club is in a bit of turmoil, however under the leadership of Jose Mourinho (Manager) we will once again rise to the top of the league.

England Vs India - Day 3

Day 3 Story – Match still evenly poised

The day started with the whole world or at least the Barmy army thought they will finish off the not so impressive Indian tail-enders soon with huge runs in the basket. But what happened was like a dream even for the Indian Cricket fans to be honest. Let us split up the story by session.

Session 1 - India's Session easily

England 332

India 174/6

Kakinada boy who was making his debut in the final match of the series was looked intended to make a statement to the teammates that how it should be done. He was looking solid and determined at the centre along with Sir Ravindra Jadeja. However the former survived a close call when Root and Co. decided not to review a LBW shout which clearly looked out in the replays. But Vihari put all that behind and continued to remain calm in his stay at the crease. The duo started slowly by respecting good nuts and putting away the odd bad balls away.  Desperation hit England when they reviewed a Caught behind appeal against Sir Jaddu which was turned down by the umpire. But sooner they got relieved when they got the better of the debut batsman at 56 , again to a close call where we cannot conclude clearly whether the ball brushed the bat. Since the on field decision is out, it stayed as it is when the batsman reviewed. Session ended with 240 runs in the Indian basket with still having 92 as deficit.

England 332

India 240/7

Session 2 – Arguably England’s session

England 332

India 240/7

Ishant came in after the wicket of Vihari and he resisted for 25 deliveries before he fell to Ali. Then Shami came in with the mood of breaking the ball into half and thus he fell very soon to Adil Rashid. With all these happening in one end but in the other Sir jaddu looked calm and composed for a long innings. Sir jaddu with three first class triple centuries to his name made sure that he can do it with the bat too. That one six of the bowling of James Anderson straight over the bowler’s head was awesome to watch. However he ran Bumrah out of the last ball of 95^th over intending to keep strike in the next over. India's first innings score ended with 292 on board with 40 runs trailing. England began the second essay to overcome 8 overs before tea. They did it easily with 20 runs on board. Indian bowlers did not test the England opener’s with less or nothing help from the pitch except for the final over from Shami beating Cook's outside edge thrice.

England 332 & 20/0

India 292

Session 3 - To be Continued....
