Some more Monsoon Pictures

The rains are timid it seems to fall this year....
You catch the rays through pale shallow clouds.
No winds to blow up million leaves,
Nor big trunks shoved off mighty trees
No sign of rains: the way we know her style!







Monsoon, monsoon, where art thou !
How come you are late by days
The farmers in the foot hills yearn for thee ,
Though soon we may tire of thee !!!

Royal's Victory

Hats Off to Rajasthan Royals !
Indian Premier Cricket League matches has been quite a surprise.
Underdogs triumphed.
Good to see team work win.
Hope the haughty over-paid, over-rated, over-treated stars would learn their lessons.

The tournament was decided off the last cliff hanger delivery, as Royals chased 164. Yusuf Pathan's phenomenal all-round act helped Rajasthan Royals win the Premier League 2008 against Chennai Super Kings. MS Dhoni had phenomenal luck in these last over matches, but it ran out on Sunday night at Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium.

Dhoni may have lost the Indian Premier League final but every run he scored in the 44-day tournament was worth nearly Rs 1.5 lakh. The Chennai Super Kings captain attracted the highest bid in the IPL player's auction in February when the Chennai franchise owners shelled out a whopping Rs six crore for the Indian Twenty20 world champion captain. Dhoni piled up 414 runs at an average of 41.40 in 14 innings and each run that flowed from his blade was worth Rs 1,44,927.

Winners always are the stars. When much hyped rich and spoilt teams fell by the way side, Royals lifted the cup.
But then Cinderella's have their Day too.
