MAGICAL MUTHAIAH MURALITHARAN !!!

Tuhina:- The name of Pragyan Ojha will be remembered in the Cricket History for time and again.

Sadanand:- Why? What feat has been achieved by Pragyam Ojha?

Tuhina:- Arrey, babah…he is the 800th victim of Muralitharan.

Sadanand:- Ha ha ha…well said. I have not watched the test match. Who won the test match between Sri Lanka and India?

Arindam:- India has been crushed like a sugarcane inside those wheel machines by the Sri Lankan team. Dhoni is lacking concentration towards the game of cricket after his marriage. But, what happened to the other Indian batsmen, I really don’t know. What to say about Indian bowling attack! Even Zimbabwe will score 400 runs in a test innings against this weak Indian bowling attack.

Tuhina:- Oh! Dude! Just forget about Indian batting, bowling and fielding. Even no one was thinking about the result of the test match. All eyes were on one man only. He was the real show-stealer in this test match. His name is Muthaia Muralitharan. Taking 800 wickets in test cricket is not a matter of joke and that too when the number of test matches are decreasing day by day after the advent of T-20 cricket.

Sadanand:- Test Cricket is the ideal format of cricket game. Test Cricket format helps you to find the real gentleman of cricket.

Arindam:- Hmm…really, there was one time, when people used to talk about Richard Hadlee. Then came our Kapil Dev Nikhanj. After that, Shane Warne, the leg spinner came to the limelight.

Sadanand:- Anil Kumble is a better leg-spinner than Shane Warne. Don’t forget that Anil Kumble is the 3rd highest wicket taker in Test Cricket.

Mandira:- Ha ha ha…hey guys, do you people regard Anil Kumble as a leg-spinner? How funny! Batsmen used to get bowled out by assuming that Anil Kumble is going to bowl a spin delivery to them. Anil Kumble is a ‘fusion bowler’ of medium pace and spin bowling.

Arindam:- Ok, ok, I know that you have burned your hands many a times in analyzing the game of cricket and cricketers. Now, don’t burn your hands again, he he he…Accha, what kind of a bowler in Muralitharan of Sri Lanka?

Mandira:- Oh! He is a chucker. I still remember that Australian cricket board had objections on the actions of Muthaia Muralitharan and Shoaib Akhtar.

Arindam:- If Lasith Malinga is not a chucker, then no bowler in this world can be regarded as chucker. Australia used those ploys to weaken the bowling attack of Asian cricket teams. Even Brett Lee used to chuck at his initial stage of his cricket career.

Tuhina:- One thing I like about Muralitharan. He has a deadly demon-type aggressive facial expression before he delivers the ball. That deadly facial expression really works. The expression always has some impact on the psychology of a batsman.

Sadanand:- The real weapon of Muralitharan is his ‘doosra’ delivery. You never know when he is going to surprise you. Is there any cricket pitch in this world where Muthaia Muralitharan cannot spin the ball? The answer is a big ‘no’.

Arindam:- Can our turban man break Murali’s 800 wicket record? I don’t think so. Harbhajan Singh is way behind. Boss, Muralitharan is a genius spin bowler the world has ever seen. But, I really wonder that why he is resigning from Test Cricket so early. If he plays for another 2 years, then he will easily get 1000 wicket in Test Cricket. I think that the Sri Lankan Cricket Board should request him to continue playing Test Cricket. Without Muralitharan, the Sri Lankan Test team hardly has any other bowling weapon.

Mandira:- Many of you guys are not aware of his personal life. He is the son-in-law of Tamil Nadu. He has a son whose name is Naren. Let me tell you that Swami Vivekananda’s childhood name was also Naren.

Arindam:- Hmm…I was not aware of these information. Well done, Mandira. You are too much interested in personal life of cricketers rather than their professional life. Really, each and every information counts for a cricket commentator cum analyst like you. Anyway, Congrats to the “MAGICAL MUTHAIA MURALITHARAN (MMM)” for making his 800 wicket world record but we except him to withdraw his retirement decision and play test cricket for another 2 years.

PROBABLE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE TRAIN ACCIDENT AT SAINTHIA !!!

Fatikchand: - Hey Arindam, after seeing the spelling of the place ‘Sainthia’ and hearing the pronunciation of that place, I have now learnt the real pronunciation of your surname ‘Sain’. In your surname, the letter ‘n’ remains silent and is used as ‘Chandrabindu’ in Bengali. But, the local people of Sainthia have witnessed a tragic train accident after the Gaisal tragedy.

Arindam: - Yeah, indeed it is a very tragic one. One compartment has totally gone up in the air to hit the nearby over bridge of the Sainthia station. The death toll has now increased to 69. No one knows how many more passengers have died in that accident.

Rimjhim: - But, how that accident happened is still a mystery! Vivek Sahay had said that the driver has not obeyed the signal and drove the train at a speed of 90 Km per hour to enter Sainthia station.

Sukanya: - That means the signal was red? But, as per the preliminary CID investigation, some officials have got the information that the signal was green. The Vananchal Express was instructed to leave the Sainthia station. Even the Vananchal train started moving, but, some passengers pulled the chain to get down with the sacks of red chilies.

Fatikchand: - Hey, have you people listened to that news that Mamata Banerjee alleged this accident as a foul play by the Maoists. But the Home Ministry confirmed that the accident happened due to either human error or mechanical faults.

Arindam: - There is no doubt about the fact that this accident is the outcome of either human error or mechanical fault. But, someone is telling the lie. The problem for the investigation will be the death of those drivers of Uttarbanga express. The mystery remained with them only. But, still, during their post-mortem, if the forensic department scans their brain minutely, then a rough idea can be made about their psychological status before the accident. The conditions of their ‘brain-nerves’ before their death will give a lot of information about the accident. I have never heard in my life that a train driver drove the train towards the station despite seeing the red signal. How funny it sounds! Moreover, the drivers of Uttarbanga express were not the newly recruited ones. They were experienced drivers of Indian Railways.

Sukanya: - Why these trains do not have anti-collision devices?

Fatikchand: - The Railway Board people have said that the anti-collision devices are too costly and there are no proofs that these anti-collision devices will be a fruitful device to prevent major train accidents.

Sukanya: - before doing the experiment, they are coming to the conclusion that the grapes are sour. Really, that’s why, it is Indian Railways. There should be a very high-level investigation to find out the mysteries behind this Sainthia accident.

Arindam: - My sixth sense is saying something else. You people may laugh or criticize me, but, somehow, I can see what may have actually happened. The Vananchal Express was standing in Sainthia platform. There were no tracks available for the Uttarbanga Express to halt at Sainthia station. The Station Master may have instructed the drivers of Uttarbanga Express to gallop through the Sainthia Junction by taking another track. Maybe, that’s why, the drivers of Uttarbanga increased their speed to gallop through the junction. Then the biggest question is that where it actually may have went wrong. In earlier days, the trains were diverted to other tracks by mechanical process. But, nowadays, it is totally automated. Somehow, the Uttarbanga Express train was not diverted to the other track automatically. The station master of Sainthia was confident that the Uttarbanga Express will gallop through the other track as per the signal given. Even the drivers of Uttarbanga Express knew that their train will gallop through the other track. But both the station master and the Uttarbanga Express drivers were not aware that the track has not been diverted automatically. When the station master saw the Uttarbanga Express train running on the same track on which the Vananchal Express is standing, he just panicked and announced, ‘Please stay away from the Sainthia platform. A major accident can take place’. These can be the “PROBABLE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE TRAIN ACCIDENT AT SAINTHIA”. Let us wait and see what report comes out in the high-level investigations regarding this train accident.

INDIAN RAILWAYS IS STILL NOT MODERNIZED !!!

Jhilik: - After the Gyaneswari express accident, again, there is a deadly train accident in Bengal and that too within 2 months. It’s a shame for Mamata Banerjee. Ram Vilas Paswan has rightly remarked that Mamata Banerjee should either concentrate on Bengal politics or Indian Railways.

Arindam: - One thing I really don’t understand regarding the train accident at Sainthia. How two trains can collide with each other in a junction, unless there is a severe fault in the signaling system? How come it is possible that one train is standing on the platform and another train is running in? Why the train drivers of Uttarbanga express not aware of the fact that Vananchal Express is standing on the Sainthia platform? Mamata Banerjee should find out the railway officials and the station master who were in charge within 2 AM to 3 AM at Sainthia junction. The Gyaneswari express accident was a master-plan by the Maoists. Koteswar Rao ordered the 3 Mahatos to execute that plan. But in the case of Sainthia accident, the railway officials are the culprits.

Barik: - It can also happen that the drivers of Uttarbanga have not seen the signal at all. I don’t know whether you people have watched a program in CNN-IBN news channel last month or not. In that news program, it was completely revealed that the engines that are used in our Indian Railways are not at all secure. The design of those rail engines are such that a driver can miss to see any signal at night hours.

Shalik: - Yeah, yeah, I have also watched that program. Basically, still the Indian Railways are using those out-dated and old-fashioned rail engines. Indian Railways don’t have money or what? If they don’t have money, then how come Mamata Banerjee proposed so many projects in the Railway budget of 2010-11?

Manik: - What are you saying? Already in this financial budget, Pranab Mukherjee has increased the fund allocation for Indian Railways. But the irony is that the Mamata Banerjee has failed in utilizing that fund for the modernization of Indian Railways. Give me some facts and figures to show any improvement in Indian Railways under Mamata Banerjeee. Only the body colors of the trains have changed. Some superfast express trains have been inaugurated in the name of ‘Duranto Express’. Some new trains have been declared to connect different parts of India. That’s all. What about the security of the passengers? Mamata Banerjee is not at all acting like an able Railway Minister. As a Railway Minister, you cannot just sit inside your restroom and relax by saying that Maoists are a threat to Railways. If she knows that Maoists are a threat to Railways, then why she is not taking steps to provide extra security to each and every train passenger.

Barik: - You are right, Manik! Even last time, the Gyaneswari express accident happened because no railway guards patrolled around the railway tracks to check whether there was any problem in the rail tracks or not. There are no anti-collision devices in our Indian trains. In Japan and China, there are super sensors. The moment a train can sense another train within 100 meters, it just stops by using a self-automated emergency brakes. If you go and ask Mamata Banerjee that why Indian Railways cannot have a railway infrastructure like China or Japan, when Japan is very much eager to invest money in rail projects in India to modernize it; then Mamata Banerjee will straight away give you the remarks that this is India and Indian Railways cannot get as modernized as Chinese or Japanese Railways. At least, Laloo Prasad was far better than Mamata Banerjee. Laloo Prasad always dared to dream about the modernization of Indian Railways, but, Mamata Banerjee is always day dreaming about Writer’s Building only. That’s the biggest problem!

Jhilik: - Even there are not enough security guards in Indian trains. As a woman, I still feel insecure while travelling in trains, especially at nights. What to say about the foods in Indian Railways? It is better to starve rather than eat those stale foods of Indian Railways. The catering unit of Indian Railways is just bogus, especially the IRCTC. They only know how to do business.

Arindam: - Hmm…despite India being the first Asian country to have Railways, the “INDIAN RAILWAYS IS STILL NOT MODERNIZED”. That’s a shame for India.
