Blue is the favorite color of all people of my country; as we are called as Men in blue. This is simply because the color of jersey of our national cricket team is blue. And as you all know, game of cricket is a religion here, which binds all the people of this country.
Still I love blue for one more reason; Which is- the usual color of sky is blue. And I can sit & watch the beautiful sky for hours and hours.
So here are some of those pictures of the beautiful sky which I captured-

Gorgeous pictures! It has been raining here for nearly a month. I miss the sun.

Thank you Darla. Raining for nearly a month, It must be very painful then. And the city where I am living currently has no rain since last four to five months; addition to it, this city is one of the hottest in India. So here the weather is just opposite to yours. Now I am both tired and afraid of seeing the sun. 🙂

Yes, Indian Cricket Team jumpers 🙂 I always enjoy watching the Indian Cricket team – I’ve particularly liked watching the slow/spin bowlers. One of my all time favourites is Bishan Bedi. As for batsmen, apart from Tendulkar, I always enjoyed watching Farokh Engineer 🙂
Arindam
May 16, 2012
I have n’t seen Bishan Bedi playing, except some recorded videos. I know him for giving those controversial statements in media. 🙂 But yes, I heard that he was a terrific bowler. And obviously like billions of other Tendulkar is my god also. I hope you must have seen Late Nawab Pataudi bat, I heard that he was a great batsman and a wonderful fielder.

Sadly Nawab Pataudi pre-dates me though his abilities were such that a comedy writer in the uk referred to the mysterious illnesses suffered by English Cricketers in India as an attack of the Nawab of Pataudi’s 😉 Look up the books ‘Tales from the long room’ and ‘The Brigadier in Season’ by Peter Tinniswood (they’re available on Amazon). As a lover of Cricket I’m sure you’ll have a great laugh 🙂
One of my all time cricket heros is Clive LLoyd – great captain, fielder and batsman – a true all-rounder. We must chat some more on this but I don’t want to impinge on your post too much. 🙂
Arindam
May 16, 2012
These two books are sounding interesting. 🙂 I hope to read them soon.
And yes Clive Lloyd is a great cricketer. I love Sir Viv Rechards too. The best thing about him that he is so down to earth and a wonderful person. I always love listening him. I hope these people are great because they played the game not only to be a winner but they play it with the spirit of the game. For me that’s the biggest thing any game. When two teams play with true spirit; then cricket always becomes winner; does not matter who wins. 🙂
