Redux of Aatama Therottama song in A Totally New Different Avatar !!

One is lengthier in duration , other is short
One is fast paced , other is slow
One is zestful and energetic , other is soulful and sweet
One is in Chatushra Nadai , Other in Tisra Nadai
One is a song , other is a BGM bit
Despite the diversities they happen to be one and the same

They both happen to be the song Äatama Therotama" from the movie "Captain Prabhakaran".
The former is the actual popular song which can be listened from the below link

The latter is a small re-recording bit which appears as part of the movie.

Jai Ho Test Cricket !!

Test Cricket continues to churn out surprises time and again .. Despite being in existence for over 135 years , something or the other happens in the form of new records being achieved/rare events taking place which have never occured before.
Here is a list of memorable never seen before Test cricket moments of 2013.

1) Graeme Smith becoming the first cricketer ever to Captain 100 Tests during the test vs Pak at Johannesburg.

2) Shikhar Dhawan smashing the fastest ever test century by a debutant off a mere 85 balls in the Mohali Test vs Australia. (Incidentally it is also the highest score made by a debutant Indian)

3) Ashton Agar in his debut test batting at No.11 scoring a record breaking 98 vs Eng at Trent Bridge. (No No.11 Batsman has yet made a century in the illustrious history of Test Cricket)

4) MS Dhoni & AB Devilliers bowling in the Jo'burg test - the first and only occasion where 2 wicketkeepers have bowled in the same match.

5) Alastair Cook & Michael Clarke both appearing in their 100th test at Perth. The only time 2 players/Captains have simultaneously appeared in their respective 100th test.

6) Alastair Cook becoming the fastest cricketer to play 100 tests in a span of just 7 and 3 quarter years. (Unbeleivable to think he made his debut vs India only in Mar 2006)

2012 had its own slice of history having witnessed many significant landmarks .. Just to reprise the significant test cricketing moments of 2012 ..
1) Tino Best of WI scoring 95 vs Eng , the highest score recorded by a No.11 Batsman. (Ironically this record was subsequently broken by Ashton Agar in 2013)

2) Abul Hasan of Bangladesh scoring a hundred on Debut against the Windies batting at No.10, only 2nd player ever to have done it on Debut. (Only 4 players in the annals of Test Cricket have even managed to score a hundred batting at No.10)

3) Chris Gayle becoming the first player to hit a Six off the very first ball of a Test Match vs Bangladesh.

4) Michael Clarke becoming the only player to crack 4 Double Centuries in a single Calendar year. (Bradman and Ponting have scored 3 in a year)

5) Alastair Cook garnering 4 successive hundreds in the first 4 test matches that he has captained. (No Captain has even scored 3 hundreds before in their first 3 tests as skipper)

If one thought 2012 was unique , 2013 has gone a step further ..
Test Cricket truly never ceases to amaze .. Jai Ho Test Cricket !!
