When members of the `Comaganin Raaga Priya' orchestra completed 50 hours of non-stop performance here on Sunday, it was much more than an attempt at the Guinness Book of World Records.
For the audience, it was a lesson in enthusiasm, doggedness and the power of indomitable will.
The troupe of visually challenged musicians performed from 1 p.m. on Friday to 7 p.m. on Sunday, surpassing an existing record of a 48-hour performance by a group in Hungary, troupe director M.C. Comagan said. Over 650 film songs were rendered during the fete.
Five-month practice
"We have been practising for about five months now," Mr. Comagan said. The troupe, which was formed in 1991 with nine members, grew in strength to accommodate a total of 25 talented musicians.
Having set a record in India through a 16-hour show in 1999, the group dreamt big and targeted this international record. They won more attention after being featured in director Cheran's `Autograph' in the national award-winning song `Ovvoru pookalumae...' "It is about identifying one's talent within, nurturing it and giving it your best, said Mr. Comagan.
The achievement, however, was no cakewalk for the team. Besides several months' hard work and determination, it demanded an immense stamina. Members did sense some tiredness in their voices but that, by no means, deterred the effort.
And the instrumentalists took hardly any breaks in between.
"I managed to catch about one or two hours of sleep in these 50 hours,'' percussionist V. R. Prasanna Kumar said. He played tabla and mridangam.
An English lecturer at a city college, Mr.Kumar began his training in tabla-playing when he was five.
As people gathered around members of the group to congratulate them on the task accomplished, they responded with their reassuring smiles, bearing no sign of fatigue or lack of sleep.
Actors T. Rajendar, Vadivukkarasi and music director Ganesh (of the Shankar-Ganesh duo) were among those who felicitated the group.

I guess till the end of april Indian or Pakistan bloggres definitely write a article about their teams early exit in their blogs. my article is my thoughts on cricket.

Proffesionals,Commercials, Corruptions

If we ask every one to name their favourites in Australian,South African cricket teams every one will say waugh brothers,boon,border,rhodes ,allan donald e.tc. we love for their skills in cricket ..they are consider as artist in cricket but today we are living in the era of Sigmas i.e complete proffesionalism.proffesionals do what is neccesary like the sculptor handles the stone.... Australians ,South Africans,Srilankans and West indies( to some extent) are proffesionals..the greats like ricky ponting,shaun pollock whom were known for their exceptional skills are changed into proffesionals...they didnt play for their record .they what the team needs...it is good for cricket....it shows team spirit rather than the individual spirits...it ia good for cricket as it will increase the competition..I like australian team for their aggression showed in each match....sunil gavaskar coment will not stop them from producing great cricket

Commercials

No one would have marketed cricket than BCCI... every coin has two sides..it is us to use the good side... every child in india know sachin than our prime minister manmohan singh...here every one consider themselves as an expert in cricket and start critiscing indian cricket team( I WANT TO CALL THEM AS INDIAN CRICKET TEAM NOT INDIA)....in this nation only we can expect the parlimentarians who join hands in bringing ganguly and laxman back to the team..if they would join hands in many people welfare issues we still will not read "INDIA is a developing country" in our text books..cricket in india has exploited people hours and money than their work......the media has created a hype which made us to compare dhonis ,pathans with legend adam gilchrist,symonds and kallis.... today media jus want to attract VIEWERS and increase TRP ratings doing all the idiotic and stupid things..if u watch the media u will realise that if INDIA wins there will big debate about our good performance ..if it lose they will kill our cricketers..they are one of the important factors for instigating angry moods with our common people... A team should be experimented ...unless we experiment we cannot know our strength and weakness..Greg Chappelexperimented our team and brought the hidden talents of pathan and dhoni... it is our media created a lot of hype... players are also humans ..they tend to belive themselves as great if we appreciate them.. we should leave them to decide their own fate..... we wnt our cricketers to advertise for every band... business exploiting our desires and using them as models for their band ..the good part about this even a new comer get lakhs an lakhs of money by add..the ugly thing is instead of improving their quality of cricket they iare improving their acting skills... like these factors ,many factors had led to the early exit of INDIAN CRICKET TEAM inthis world cup

CORRUPTIONS

I rate pakistan as team which can beat australia and become an undisputed leader in cricket.. They are also the team which can also loose to a school team..The mafias and the mumbai underworld has made the pakistan cricket to lose to a a small team like Ireland..the bettings and the scandals has tarnished the image of pakistan cricket team.... players were also started loosing their confidence and throwing the matches to small teams..they should start to belive themselves...pakistan team has good talent.....iinspite of climatic conditions in sub continent they are able to produce good qualityfast bowlers.... indian team and srilankan team still dont have a quality fast bowler..vaas is a quality bowler but not the fast bowler...If they tuned and mould well they can prodeuce world class crickters....

Cricket is more important than any individuals...aussies ,nz,sa s and lankans are moving to more professional manner where the indians are milking money from the public..system has to be changes in india and pakistan..BCCI still get money from this mad cricketing nation..... but if they didnt change people in India and pakistan will make our Indian cricket team like our hockey team..it is the time to awake and experiment the necessary ones...

ges in india and pakistan..BCCI still get money from this mad cricketing nation..... but if they didnt change people in India and pakistan will make our Indian cricket team like our hockey team..it is the time to awake and experiment the necessary ones...
