"arachha maava araippoma... thuvacha thuniya thuvaippoma... a emma emma emmamma"
"அரச்ச மாவ அரைப்போமா... துவச்ச துணிய துவைப்போமா... ஏ எம்மா எம்மா எம்மம்மா"

We used to make fun of our Telugu friends about Telugu…"What ra...if you put “Lu” after any Tamil word you will get Telugu". After being in Japan for almost 5 months now, I felt the same about Japanese as well… Take any English word and add “aeiou”... whatever you feel comfortable and you will get an equivalent Japanese word…It has worked well quite a few times… “Busu” for Bus, “Milku” for “Milk”… but this was not the case yesterday. After deciding to cook yesterday, I wanted to buy some salt and vegetables… Went to a nearby shop and checked the whole shop and couldn’t find any salt…Thought its time to use my Japanese skills…
Me: Sumimasen, Saltooo…
Shopkeeper: Kohi..?
Me: (I knew Kohi means coffee and she was trying to say something about coffee and said no) Nai…Thought she didn’t get me properly and I asked for “Saltoo”(stressing the word) again…
Shopkeeper: Ryori..?
Me: (Ryori-cooking… thought she got what I said) Hai…
and bought it. When I was about to start cooking, I opened the pack to taste it and it was not salt(Good that I was not over confident in my Japanese... I checked before adding it to my cooking)… it was sugar :( ... what the ****... I had no choice but to buy Salt. So checked the English-Japanese dictionary and knew that my Jappu technique went horribly wrong this time... "Sauto" almost pronounced like 'Saltooo" means Sugar and "Shio" means Salt...
Vocabulary learnt:
Sauto - Sugar
Shio - Salt

Thats what the electronic scoreboard read after the emphatic win against the Aussies in the Mumbai Twenty20. Australia cruising at one stage(110/2 in 13 overs) was reduced to a meagre total of 166 in 20 overs by some good spin bowling by Harbhajan and Murali Karthik which is always a chaseable total in this format. India while chasing were so much at ease and never looked like losing. Sehwag as usual was out cheap, but some class shots from Gambhir, Uthappa helped India cruise to a comfortable win. Really a great performance from the youngsters.
Scorecard
But.... After the humiliating exit from the world cup, India had a easy series against Bangladesh(ofcourse they beat India in worldcup, but they are not that consistent) and after the embarassing 4-1 loss to the Aussies, we had the Twenty20 against Australia, the format with which we are really comfortable right now... How come India get a easier series almost after every tough one... is it a ploy by the BCCI to schedule it in a way so that we would forgot what actually happened... are they the Visionaries???
On the lighter side, here is one of the mail forward mocking the dialogue from the movie "Sivaji"
It goes like this:
Villain: Engala enna manja satta potta manja makkan nu nenachiya? Paaru ethana peru vanthirukkom innu... (See how many guys have come... u thought we are fools are what..?)
Rajini: Panni thaan padai oda varum... Singam single'a thaan varum... (Pigs only come in droves... Lion comes alone only)
Here:
Ponting: Australia na manja satta potta manja makkan nu nenachiya?
Australia da, World Champion Australia da.
Palaya WC record a eduthu paru (See how many world cups we have won)
Dhoni: Kanna... Panninga than neraiya World cup Jeikkum,
Singam Single World Cup dan Jeikkum. (Pigs only wins so many world cups... Lions win only one)
Room pottu yosippangalo...

Summa irukkarthu onnum summa illa... (Sitting idle is not so easy)... "Based on a True Story"

In one of the Tamil comedies, Vadivelu makes a bet with a guy to sit idle for the whole day and eventually the other guy loses and Vadivelu makes a comment "Summa irukkarthu onnum summa illa... (Sitting idle is not so easy)". Many a times I have thought with the work pressure back home, I can do that for sure and how nice it would be to just sit idle... But after coming here to client side with almost all work done, I'm sitting here just a like a bench warmer in many of the IT companies with absolutely no work to do... The max I do daily was to read the same story twice, couple of Coffees/smoke and call it off for the day... Atleast at offshore I can keep myself busy disturbing others... But with no one around(to disturb as well), its damn boring... I too would have lost that bet...
This performance was before Minatomirai(The tallest building in Japan). He made more than a lakh Yen just after this performance...
If you read any of the English newspapers on the post match analysis, you would see these lines "Dodgy penalty decision", "England deserverd to win", "Plastic surface" etc etc... attributing the failure to beat Russia to factors other than the poor selection and play from the manager/players. But this is not the case in most of the fans forums... few questions in my mind as well...
1. Why was Lescott playing as the left back... If I'm correct all the back four are center backs for their clubs. Micah Richards as right back (CB for Man. city), Ferdinand(ManU), Campbell(Portsmouth), Lescott as left back(CB for Everton). Nicky Shorey plays as right back for Reading was in the bench throughout the match.
2. Why didnt Robinson tip that ball(leading to the second goal) to the corner. If he had handled it soft it would have gone to a corner and not in the 6 yard box. But the defenders too were the culprits. Should have cleared the danger before palvychenko pounced on it.
Few saves from the Goalkeeping legend(Oliver Khan)
3. If u had seen the build up to the second goal(Youtube), you can easily see how nervous England were. Never really passing the ball but trying to clear it as for as they could inviting next attack by the Russians.
If you look at the stats below, you will never say "England deserved to win" as McClaren and others say.

The Buddha in Ushiku is 100 meters tall and is the highest Buddha statue in the world. This is almost 9 times the size of the Kamakura Big buddha(14m) and thrice the size of the Statue of Liberty(40m). And asusual you can see Mt.Fuji from the top of Big Buddha :) ...
