Road to Oscar..

They seem to have got it right this time.Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra's depiction of new-age patriotism "rang de basanti"will represent Indian cinema at the Oscars 2007 in the best foreign film category.Unlike in the past when the selection committee's choice often left people puzzled, this time around it has been done on the poplularity basis.Lightly based on a servey.

The film depicts the awakening of the young generation, inspired by the legendary freedom fighters.Ofcourse I wont talk about the movie. Becouse you must have seen it.If not then you must see it. What i wish here is that atleast this movie bring the first ever oscar to india.Wish aamir khans march for an oscar that started with lagaan will find its color of success with RDB. Means lets hope he does not find a movie as good as "No mans land" on his way.

Cricket.....

The debate over who’s the world’s best batsman—Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara—may be a past, but the old masters are in full flow again, scoring runs at will and almost single-handedly taking out the breath from the opponent. On Wednesday, Sachin scored 65 against the West Indies in Kuala Lumpur, taking his average in the Malaysian tri-series to 109. Lara scored an unbeaten 40 for an average of 77.5.

Like many of the Indian I am pondering ....What is the reason , why dravid wants to open the innings rather than giving sehwag the chance. It just reminds me the days when ganguly was perfectly comfortable with opening . Still he made ways for Sehwag finding him more suitable for the spot. I am guessing wheather its a plan of chappell (sir) to distort the indian team given to him by ganguly or its only Dravid finding himself more suitable (more aggresive) than sehwage. Ofcourse dravid is proving a simple think that i could not prove my friends in a long time that " opening is not that easy as it made to look by the three S(uper stars of indian cricket)".
