Cricket Vs Dance

'Ek Khiladi Ek haseena' - I just saw this TV show promo in youtube. This show is about to be premiered in Colors TV (I did not know that there was one such existing) from Sept 26. It will be aired on Fridays & Saturdays at 9 P.M IST. What a combo to anchor - Wasim Akram and Sushmita Sen. And the six teams comprises of Sreesanth with Surveen Chawla, Harbhajan Singh with Mona Singh, Irfan Pathan with Ashima Bhalla, Dinesh Karthik with Nigar Khan, Nikhil Chopra with Barkha Bisht and Vinod Kambli with Shama Sikander. I don't know any of the lady pairs here except Ashima since she acted in a Tamil film with our PK Vijayakanth. As Sreesanth is a good dancer, it will be good to watch him performing here. But I am curious to watch one man here - Irfan Pathan as I am a great fan of him. Irfy, will you serve swingers in your dance too? ;) With a passion for cricket and dance, I am not going to miss this show. And here is the youtube promo video:

Thiruvizha Kozham...

Me and my roomie were talking about childhood days and how we used to celebrate Diwali when we were kids. When we were at school, we used to talk about the new Diwali dress even months before Diwali celebration. And I used to dream about wearing my new Diwali dress even before I buy it. Although I was not a 'cracker' girl (gal who used to fire crackers :)) but I was a 'sweet' gal - On Diwali, my main task would be giving away sweets to neighbours (Cycle gapla apdiye enna naane sweetnu solliten :)) Even now, I could remember those Diwali dresses - The 'Pudhiya Mugam' midi (the one like Revathy used to wear in that movie), The 'Rangeela' dress (Sometime I used to call it as Suspendas but I don't know who introduced me this term ;)), The cute violetish grayish 'Pattu Pavadai', The green chudi that has mirror work etc., On the day of Diwali, you feel like you are an angel jumped out from heaven and when someone says 'You look good in this dress', then you would see your face in the mirror often and say to yourself 'Hmm..I'm looking great!'. I am sure it happened to most of us. The day after Diwali would be fun at school with sweets distribution wherein my favourites used to be Boondhi and murukku...:) and sighting at others dresses and commenting even teachers :)

As days pass by, there is no more Diwali like before. It's just another day. Not looking forward for new dress, crackers, neighbours, sweet distribution but just wishes and prayers from friends and family...We just live with it! Is it not true?

P.S.: It's not Diwali time but the conversation about it made me to write a blog post.
