Cricket and Doosra

I remember Raghavan  ( now in Florida) telling me happy holiday means { 'okka manchiga bhojanmu', 'okka bekkaru matchu' and 'okka jayamalini dansu' } Of course any day all my children and cousins will exchange any of these for a good well contested cricket match. You may wonder why this sudden talk of cricket. Recently we saw a drama by name Doosra by Anandh Ragav. I would say it was well thought out attempt to talk of cricket, how dear it is to all of us. how it has mired in money by mostly non cricketers and a few crickets too getting carried away by this and of course the love of the game by all those especially the young children who love the game for nothing but the beauty of the game will prevail. Of course the auditoriums's response a few jokes on corruption and todays political situations well talk of the public's reaction to these and how much the anti incompetence and incumbency is in the minds of the public. Most of senior actors (whom we believe are performing more for their love of the drama) gave a wonderful loving performance. We really enjoyed the drama.
They did try novelty in the form of certain portrayal of the cricket stadiyum , match in progress etc., which i think. given the restrictions , was wonderful. I wish all of them well and best wishes for more such attempts. Incidentally i missed their earlier drama DHANUSHKODI.
