Thirty years of struggle finally gave Apollo cricket club a place in Dr. H.D Kanga cricket league A- division where they played their inaugural match with New Hind sports club at Matunga gymkhana here on Sunday.
Apollo, which is back after three decades, was formed in 1970. Founder and coach of Apollo cricket club, Farooq Patel is very excited and happy to see his team in the A-division. He remembers the day in 1972 where his team missed the place in the A-division, setting a target of 192 runs with the opponents on 62-9 where the last batsmen completed the target making a way for MIG cricket club in the final.
“I have achieved a lot and I would expect the same from my team.
Without taking any pressure the players should give their best because this game totally depends on luck”, said Patel.
Apollo has roped in many talented players who have the will to win this title. Aslam Sheikh the captain for this team has played for all the cricket tournaments in Mumbai. He started his career with Apollo in 1985. “We have hard working players and even our coach is very co-operative”, Sheikh said. The team also consists of Virendra Kambli, Nitin Surve Ranji Trophy player, Zameer Ali wicket keeper of Rizvi College. A strange fact is that the team has never practiced together because they don’t have their own ground but they carry a lot of confidence and look forward to win the tournament.

GET CONNECTED
Music is something, who can be your partner whenever you want. It may be the happiest or the saddest moment of your life. But it’s not only the music that helps you, in return you have to help music by involving yourself in it.
Yes, I did the same. Just listening to music made me feel incomplete in some way and I felt complete when I got myself a GUITAR. I started learning it, I sang songs, and playing guitar became my passion which turned into a craze. People need someone to share their secrets, but I have my most special friend besides me whenever I need him, be it day or night, he is there to take care of me. My thoughts flow from my mind to the guitar who conveys it to everyone, through my songs.
I know not many people know about this instrument, but I will make sure that everyone understands guitar through my perception. The most I strike each of its string and make a song out of it. Important part in the guitar is the strings, without which it’s impossible to play it. These six strings can compose any song and similarly they are truly connected to my life in the following way:
E- Excitement, it was my excitement that brought me close to my guitar. I was eager to learn it so that I could keep myself connected to music forever
A- Aru, yes I have my name in it so why should I stay away from someone who interprets my name in the best way.
D- Describes me, it helps me describe myself through the songs I play. When I am in a bad mood, the songs that come out are usually slow and filled with tears. When I am happy, it’s the latest fast songs full of energy and when I am in a romantic mood the best love songs change the whole atmosphere.
G- God, it helps me connect to my God. I talk to him through music. When I play the guitar all alone, I can feel him listen to me. He makes me feel stronger and more confident.
B- Best friend, as mentioned earlier he is my best friend. I love him the most, he listens to everything I speak, he helps me release my tension, and he is always there for me.
E- Express, I can express myself in the best possible way. When people listen to my songs and praise me, I feel satisfied and happy that I expressed myself.
From this I truly recommend everyone, that you may be in the worst phase of your life but it is only music that may help you get out of it. There are different ways to get with it, guitar, tabla, violin, piano and singing as well. So help yourself and forget every sorrow of your life, try it, it works.

First day wit my LOVE.......
It was a lovely bright sunny day…just too cold at 6.30 am in the morning. I left my place 2 meet him, it was my first day wit him after all. I reached his place and there he was waiting for me wit his arms open. I approached him and saw him for first time; he was fair and glowing, dressed in black n white just as I thought of him.
Even I was in my best attire just to fit in d situation. We initially tried knowing each other so that we both could gel up easily and then…. it went ahead. Just in a matter of minutes he was holding me. His gentle touch made me feel wanted. I tried to push him away but d atmosphere got us close again. We accompanied each other for an hour but it seemed liked we are together from a long period, when he suddenly kissed me on my forehead and a current passed through my body. I felt the vibes inside which made me contented. Now it was my turn to give him back and here I saw my greatest opportunity and yes I did it………..our bodies touched and we truly belonged to each other……..
But when everything is perfect something has to go wrong, it was then, I realized that he has to leave me now….. A bit more… ya he was going away from me and guess what happened next????????
Yipieeeeee, hurray, wohoooooooooo!!!! It was a goal…… and our team won d match. Yes d first day wit my love, football, ended up here as d whistle was blown by our coach and it was d most memorable day of my life which I would never forget and here itself it getz stored wit me and all my reader’s……
p.s: Luv u all 4 reading my blog……..

Page3……….. Dat is really Dumb!!!
“Rakhi Sawant in search of a Husband”……….. “Bachchan bahu keeps her first Karvachaut vrat”……….. “Rani purchases real estate in Shirdi”………………..
Top journalists of our country are actually slogging themselves in search of such absurd news which is absolutely bogus. I really don’t get it……. What are the readers going to do if Rakhi Sawant is searching for a husband? Go and find a compatible guy for her or sumone would go and actually marry her? Rani Mukherjee purchases real estate in Shirdi….. Now what difference this news makes in our life? It’s her money, her wish and her choice of location, so why the hell, we are informed about it??? No one wants to perceive what these stupid celebs are doing in there personal lives but they write what sells and here the blame goes on towards the public who jump on to page 3 as soon as they get the newspapers in their hand.
So this one is for all those people who think that page 3 is the ultimate news….. There is much more influential news which would mature your thinking and help the country in return. I am really proud of the reporters who did the coverage on Mumbai terror attacks and risked their own life to keep you informed.
P.S: I HOPE MY READERS ARE NOT PAGE3 LOVERS………
