Captain Cool: The M.S. Dhoni Story - by Gulu Ezekiel

I am a big fan of MSD. Not just of his wicket keeping, batting or leadership, but I am fan of him even as a human being. I have written previously as well in Feb 2012 on MSD in the same blog. Below is the link.

Recently, I was in a Book Store and show this book and couldn't stop myself from buying it. I completed reading the book same night. This is a nice book celebrating the coolest and the most successful Indian Cricket captain ever and fans will definitely like to lay their hands on it.
Everyone talks about MS Dhoni’s meteoric rise, but few have spent time cataloguing his journey as painstakingly as veteran sports journalist Gulu Ezekiel. The book is at its strongest at the start. Ezekiel has used his extensive network of contacts in the world of cricket, including former players, coaches and administrators, to highlight Dhoni’s humble Ranchi roots like no one else.


‘It must be my power, the bat speed I generate, and the swing of the bat…’

Captain Cool is the story of M. S. Dhoni, Indian cricket’s poster boy. It is also the heartwarming account of the boy from Ranchi who grew into a worldwide icon and won for India the World T20 in 2007, the world number one Test ranking in 2009, the World Cup in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013. Mahi continues to be an inspiration to his teammates and millions of his fans.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Image
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It  is a 2005 musical fantasy comedy film directed by Tim Burton and written by John August. The film stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket.  Charlie is a poor boy who lives near the Wonka Candy Company. The company's owner, Willy Wonka, has for long closed access to his factory due to problems concerning industrial espionage that led him to fire all his employees, among them Charlie's Grandpa. One day, Wonka announces a contest, in which Golden Tickets have been placed in five random Wonka Bars worldwide, and the winners will be given a full tour of the factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate, while one ticket holder will be given a special prize at the end of the tour. Wonka's sales subsequently skyrocket, and the first four tickets are found quickly. The recipients are Augustus Gloop, a gluttonous German

Mountain Flight to Himalayas

Image
Nothing compares to the sheer beauty; the Himalayas has to offer. Nepal is the home to the greatest range of mountains in the world and many tourists come to Nepal to see them. However, neither everyone is a trekker / mountaineer nor has the time to walk into the mountains, so what are the options for these tourists to enjoy the highest points on the planet? Mountain flights!!! Taking a mountain flight is one of the most exhilarating things you can do in Nepal. Easily arranged, you can go eye-to-eye with Mt. Everest and world's highest peaks within minutes! The 50 min flight takes off early in the morning (first flight 6 am), and only operates if the weather is good.  Today, I took the one and believe me it was the best thing I ever witnessed.  Although it looked cloudy from the ground, once we rose above the clouds the view was all clear and just breathtaking. Once the flight takes off from Kathmandu, first peak comes is Langtang Lirung
