Chak De Fiasco

India first participated in their Hockey Olympic team in 1928. To everyone's surprise they won the Gold medal (Suvarna Padak in Hindi) on their first attempt. As they say rest is the history, Indian Hockey Team retained the Gold medal for next 6 consecutive Olympics (i.e From 1928 - 1956). In total India has 8 Gold medals and has always qualified for Olympics since 1928. That was the Golden Era of Indian Hockey. Hockey being the National sport of one of the largest populated countries in the world, India, reached zenith at one point of time.

Because of these achievements, if a paparazzi asked the hockey players like Dhanraj Pillay (I respect him for his achievements) just before the world cup, they used to say "Hum keval suvarna padak jeet kar layenge".... Plzzz think twice before giving such a big bhaukaaal.

K.P.S Gill scripted a Shakespearean ending to Indian Hockey i.e Tragedy. Its not entirely his fault there are lot of bhaukaaals in the media that is responsible for this catastrophe. When Indian Cricket Team won the 20/20 WorldCup, there were lot of questions asked by the media. Some hockey players complained and even had gone on a hunger strike ( Now thats emotional bhaukaaal) when cash rewards were showered on Indian cricket team after their Twenty20 World Cup triumph. They accused that government was biased towards circket. Now they must understand the difference.
Media has a problem with SRK watching the cricket matches and he doesnt spend time on watching live hockey matches. Now what kind of stupid argument is that. Just because the star did a movie on hockey he does not have to be a brand ambassador for that game. Moreover he is an actor he does movies for his popularity and awards and not for spreading a game or something like that. If he really cared for the game then he would have spend his money on hockey team or buy a team in Premiere Hockey League(PHL). But he knew he can make more money from cricket so he invested his money in Indian Premiere League(IPL).

So the moral of the story is that Indian Hockey has reached its Nadir and the entire administration is responsible for it, not cricket. Some administrative people have been suspended including K.P.S.Gill because of corruption charges. So Mr. Gill its time for you to put on the song "Kuch Kariye, Kuch Kariye... nuss nuss khaule...." on repeat mode. Hope that might trigger something in you.

For many of you out there who have stumbled upon this website, intentionally or otherwise, this is an introduction to the Bhaukaaal page or BK101.

First, lets get this straight:
What is a bhaukaaal?

A bhaukaaal (also spelled bhaukal, bhaukaal) is a sentence in the future tense, usually (but not always) stating an impossible dream.
eg. (hangover) "I will quit drinking"
(January) "I am going to lose this winter weight"

Bhaukaaals may be simple or complex, they may be straightforward or require context.

A bhaukaaal might be an outrageous claim:

eg. "Hum suvarna padak layenge" (We will bring back the gold medal) - KPS Gill on the Indian hockey team's prospects for Beijing 2008.
Status: The Indian team failed to qualify for the Olympics in 2008

Or a public announcement:

eg. "We are targeting an area from Iraq to Indonesia, and that area has a population of 2.5 billion." - President of Spice Mobile (on Spice's new screen-less, cheapest ever cellphone)

Because of their funny nature, some bhaukaals are sometimes fulfilled:
eg. "We are confident of winning the 3rd Test" - Anil Kumble (after an embarassing defeat at ..anyway)

But most of the time, they are funnier unfulfilled:
eg. "I will SCARE the Indians" - Shaun Tait (Australian paceman before the Perth Test)
Status: Cumulative figures of 21 overs, 92 runs, 0 wickets. He left the Australian team for some 'personal time' after the Test and has been missing since.

I hope I have made clear WHAT a bhaukaaal is. What a GOOD bhaukaal is, only time will tell.

Note: some sources for these bhaukaaals may be questionable (note NDTV, AAJ TAK), but hey, who cares?

How to post:
For this, you need a gmail account (send it to Satish, he will activate it)

So go ahead, find more instances of bhaukaaals and post them here. Of course, if you have ambition and don't mind other people laughing at you, post your own!

Bhajji aka Turbonator



Hey Folks !!
You guys are going to witness the biggest bhaukaaals by the Indian Cricket player ever. This one is soo special, and it comes right from none other than the Sardar from Jalandhar. He loves controversies. Infact he started his career with controversy, he was banned for his bowling action i.e chukker. But he came back by improving his action.

To cut the story short he made an impact in Indian team during the Border - Gavaskar Trophy in 2001. And he was named as "Turbonator". He went through his ups and downs through out his career. Suddenly in 2004 our "Turbonator" started working on a new type of ball called MAGIC Ball. And he gave a statement "I have a magic ball". People those who dont trust on my words or people who want to convince themselves by reading the bhaukaaal themselves may do the honors here.
So this was the Metamorphosis phase that was developing in bhajji's life. No one imagined at that point of time that he would completely finish his metamorphosis on the grand occassion like world cup 2007. He finally discovered that "MAGIC" ball. And he publicly said on all news channels that world will see my "MAGIC" ball.

But as they say "Ignorance is Bliss", he never knew where that "MAGIC" ball was and I think that remained in his turban forever (I m not trying to be racist, so dont take it either way).

No problem Bhajji, its always next time. May be next lifetime. Hard luck !!! (I am sorry, plzzz dont slap me for saying this Mr. Obnoxious Weed).

At last, Sukhbir is my favourite artist ( Thats because bhajji loves dancing in his friends music albums, and Sukhbir is his best friend).
oh ho ho ho, oh ho ho ho, oh ho ho ho
ho ho ho ishq tera tadapave,
Satish.

Bangalore is about to bounce back

And its any day now..says my GUT feeling.
Here's why they are about to become unstoppable:

Batting: the consistent Dravid, the powerful six-hitting Driver, einstein of pakistani cricket - Misbah, the sledging Boucher, the young and angry Virat Kohli and other bright domestic dark horses.

Bowling: Second highest wicket taker ZAK, KILLER kumble, the express STEYN, nippy meduim pace swing bowler P.K., the experienced sunil joshi

Coach: BKV PRASAD("I was an agressive bowler in my time")

Mentor: Martin Crowe ("IPL is a scientific project. It is all about tactics")

Brand Ambassador: Katrina Kaif
