About Sourav Ganguly's selection

It was very disappointing for Sourav Ganguly to not have made the team, better luck in the next test.

Infusing the young ones in the team is fine, but at what cost?

Already there are enough issues in the board and looking back last year with the More Kale episode, one has to wonder about the quota system selection of teams.

A person who has established himself well enough for the last few years needs a break! Raina or Kaif is not the replacement....

May be Sourav should retire gracefully! (or give a try till the current 50 lakhs contract expires).

Dravid and Chappell are not making the Indian cricket shine. They have to learn from neighbors selections, for example on the inclusion/exclusion of Jayasuriya - considered one of the best captains and prolific run scorer. Forms come and go, the same happened with Yuvraj. Now even without injury worries, if he can sustain, that would be great!

Sivaji Story

Sivaji the Rajanikant Starrer

Based on so many guesses, I want this to happen!

Well for the first thing, Nayanthara should dance with Rajni for giving a lucky hit like Chandramukhi.

Rajni can come in dual roles the good and bad, but the same person taking the change, Shankar style a-la Anniyan.

Theme can be black money, like Indian, and some Anniyan and Baasha, with schools/colleges.

Politicians take on with the educational mills can be shown in a nice corrupt way! Aladi Aruna story is hot, they say!

Rajni can use bubblegum instead of cigarrette for style. Call in Simbu to give Rajni the style what youngsters want.

Raghuvaran, can be a very good lucky mascot for Rajni. Give him a role. Also use Manivannan and Nagesh.

Rajni has never done songs like MGR, so get him do it, color him. You can have him dance for MGR style/songs. This will give an opportunity to have him wear old Raja dresses and come like real Shivaji.

Rajnis story to take on black with black, and use some known faces to get the comedy and stories lined up.

He can pair with Vivek instead of Vadivelu, for intelligence sake.

Use good sets, taking on from T Rajendhar for song and best locations abroad.

Use a different fight master than Peter Hain to get the old touch. Kanal Kannan, and Super Subbarayan can be roped in.

BOSS in the title could be expanded as Bachelor of Social Service.

The first one to blog

Hi There

This is the first post, and in my space of thoughts I shall bring about the opinions around.

I will also talk about the classmates from PSG Tech 1986 - 1990 EEE Batch and the companies I worked for and their nuances.

The concept of blogging was introduced by me in my personal website, talking about my history and discussed in detail with a number of chatters during 1997 @ tripod.com....
