Celebrating 14 years of The WALL

Yes, it's anniversary celebrations for Dravidians!

For a Dravid fanatic like me, the new year begins on June 20th, the day when Rahul Dravid made his debut for India in test cricket, only to be renamed as the Mr. Dependable and Mr. Consistent, by far the most consistent batsmen India has ever produced.

The last year, on field, was not that happening, though his appearance for his state team Karnataka was one proud moment! the IPL too wasn't that exciting although there were some outstanding knocks towards the end of it.

Off field, the last year has been by far the best in my 10 years of fanaticism and Dravidism. The DDCA-Karntaka Ranji match at Roshanara Club, Delhi being 'The Most Memorable' time in the last one year. 10-13 Nov 2009, the first meeting, the first conversation, the first autograph, the first photograph and yes, as per my 10 yr old promise, my first interview too! :D

Despite the disappointment of not making it to the Asia Cup team, and being out of the ODI flavour for second consecutive yr, there's still hope, for a man with 21 thousand international runs under his belt, it's just a bad phase. And like the previous many hurdles, he shall overcome this too! :)

It's Celebration time again!
Happy 14th! :)
