The Next Big Thing

It seemed apt for me to post this..




The Maldives might never know why they called their local fishing boat this, but Indian Cricket knows pretty well, that the winds of change have arrived.The chants of Sachin, Sachin in the stands have been replaced by a name that will be chanted for the years to come.

One recent news article referred to him as the Ranchi Rambo, one of the best names that journos have come up with for cricket players in the recent past. He has a presence on the cricketing arena that very few have had. His abilities, to put it mildly, far surpass the ordinary, makes you wonder as you go past the surprising, and sometimes even take you the realms of the mundane. Every kid these days, including Gen. Musharraf wants to copy his hairstyle.

I give you, Dhoni..


Did you notice that he is doing in the pic what he best likes to do on the field..

He's having a ball..

@Srini

Even I can't type in tamil. Now, where's that tamil keyboard!!

And please don't try to imagine Musharraf with Dhoni's hairstyle. It could be harmful for you.

Hey, why are you thinking?!
I said don't think about it.. I warned you!! :D

Thanks for your comment.. Keep dropping by..

And didn't I mention that I was trying to talk about his game. Why would 60,000 people chant Dhoni, Dhoni about a his hairstyle.. :P

Ranchi Rambo reminds me of this DD-metro prog on weekday noons. It was called Raju and Rancho. Rancho was Raju's pet monkey.

On second thoughts, it sounds like a B-grade flick starring reel life Rocky Rambo who maybe a real life Raju Rampuria urf Pappu Dholakia trading in 'rolex' watches on the streets of a certain nation that spells with a 'B'.

Btw, for general knowledge sake, are you copying his hairstyle too?

@Shiv

Hair growth is a difficult proposition, especially for me.. :(

Maybe you're asking this only cuz you haven't seen me for a while.. I'll forgive you..

@Shrik and Shiv

Ranchi Rambo doesn't seem like such a bad name. Surely it's better than 'Rawalpindi Express' and 'Nawab Of najafgarh'.. Not to forget 'Sultan Of Multan'.. urgh..

@Soms

I'm sure that both me and TCS flicked the phrase "Winds Of Change" from an evergreen Scorpions song by the same name.

Listen to it, it is beyond brilliant. :)
