Virendra Sehwag: A legend of Indian cricket

"
In a way, the advent and the ascent of Virendra Sehwag was quite similar in Indian cricket. Initially, he looked like another slam-bang One Day International specialist, with not so "traditionally" good footwork. He started off in a not so spectacular manner. However, his innings against New Zealand in a One Day tournament where he scored a swift century in 69 balls, and paved the way for an Indian win, proved that he would not be a pushover. Then, he was pushed to open the Innings in England in 2002 in test matches, where he proved that this move won't backfire. He scored a century at Trent Bridge in his second Test match. There was no looking back from there on for Virendra Sehwag who established himself as one of the all time great Indian openers and a great player, paving the way for many Indian Test and ODI victories.................

For the records, Sehwag made 8586 runs from 104 Test matches, and is fifth in India's all-time list. In ODIs, he scored 8273 runs, with 15 centuries including the second-highest individual score of 219.

India's exciting one wicket win over Australia in Mohali test

In an exciting finish in the first test match at Mohali, India beat Australia by 1 wicket. India had to make 216 to win, and at 1 stage India were 124 for 8. Then V.V.S.Laxman and Ishant Sharma had a superb partnership of 81 runs and took India to victory. Laxman remained unbeated on 73, and Ishant made 31. The place where I am currently staying does not subscribes to the sports channel showing this match, but I would surely love to watchthe highlights of this match.

What is this street's name ?

This is another of my Chennai experiences. I had this experience on the street where I stayed at a guest house location till 30th September morning. The street on which I lived is called as "Neelkanda Mehta" street. However, on many homes as well as some other places, it is written as "Neelkanda Metha" street. I have asked other people too. However, I have not found a satisfactory answer.

Evolution and Creationism - My Viewpoint

Whenever someone mentions something related to Evolution ; or whether God created all Animals , Humans ;or whether it is all a play of evolutionary Process; I become very much engrossed. It is a topic in which I have a unique interest . At a personal level,I favour the Theory of Evolution . True , the theory that God created everything does has its valid points . It also has many people supporting it . Points that make the God's creation Theory (as such this is not the name of the Theory , but I call it like this ) : 1)Evolutionists say that Man evolved from Apes who in turm evolved from some Amphibian creatures ,who in tuirn were evolving from Reptiles or Fish and so on . yet ; who created the most basic Life Form ? It must have been God . 2)Who decided when Big Bang has to happen or why Earth only had to be habitable long enough ? True , Mars also has some signs of Life Supporting conditions , but no Life has been detected as such . 3)Why Man only...
