Auluck: Samuels the Gladiator

Samuels the Gladiator - on and off the field

Marlon Samuels produced an innings for the ages at the Eden Gardens on Sunday (April 3) night. It was gladiatorial in conception, avuncular in execution as he bided and bided and bided his time, taking the run-chase deep into the contest before stepping on the gas.

Marlon, magnificent Marlon, had not so much laboured as eased to 50 in 47 deliveries when suddenly, he sprang to life. As if only then remembering that there was an ICC World Twenty20 to be won and lost, he embarked on a spectacular ball-striking spree, warming the cockles with a series of crisply struck strokes straight down the ground to home in on England’s 155 for 9.

With 19 needed off the last over, Samuels sat back and watched young turk Carlos Brathwaite take Ben Stokes apart. 6, 6, 6, 6. Game over. West Indies repeat champions, England crushed and deflated as a trophy that was firmly in their pocket for large parts was snatched away at the proverbial last minute. Eden roared in approbation, Samuels was the toast alongside Brathwaite.

It is more than likely that Samuels had moved into the zone towards the later stages of his extraordinary innings, that he may not remember much about how he despatched each delivery exactly in the manner in which he wanted to. If he does requisition a video to watch himself with bat in hand, he will come away impressed and potentially a little awed. But if he also watches some of his other actions, he should certainly not be as impressed and awed.

One of the more difficult things to maintain is grace under pressure. It’s alright to be emotional, to wear one’s heart on his sleeve, to give vent to feelings, to add colour and character and drama to proceedings. It is not alright to be disrespectful and downright offensive, as a fair bit of Samuels’s behaviour was immediately before and much after the trophy was won.

Samuels has had a heavy cross to bear over the last several years. A two-year suspension in 2008 for his involvement in match-fixing. A bat-throwing brain fade with Shane Warne at the receiving end during the Big Bash League in 2013. The cheeky, hat-clutched-to-chest, raised-hand-to-temple send-off to Stokes in the Grenada Test of last April. Reticent and reserved and often insulated from his teammates even inside his dressing room, Samuels the latent volcano erupts from time to time. With the bat, like in the World T20 finals in 2012 and on Sunday, and without it too.

No sooner had Brathwaite smashed Stokes for the third of his four straight sixes on Sunday than Samuels had a go at his old mate in full hearing of Kumar Dharmasena, the standing umpire. Predictably, charges were levelled, Samuels was fined 30% of his match fee. Then, after the fourth six, as the rest of his team congregated to celebrate an astonishing and popular triumph, he ripped his shirt off and charged towards the English dugout, spewing expletives. Before things could get out of hand, he was enveloped in a cocoon of love by his support staff with Phil Simmons and Curtly Ambrose prominent among them. Gently, they prised Samuels back into the confines of the celebratory huddle because after all, it was a moment of celebration, not retribution. And then, to cap it all off, when the player of the match arrived at the press conference, he lifted both his still padded legs on to the table and held forth for five minutes, speaking his mind on Stokes and Warne but also stating his case as a family man. Not sure Samuels will look back at this as one of his prouder moments.

AULUCK : Ki and Ka movie review:

Ki and Ka movie review: Kareena’s character is spot on, Arjun is victim of confusion

AThe problem is the film’s unwillingness to go the mile and really explore what that ‘nikamma’ could do to the male ego. Ka, poor fellow, is a victim of confusion. He may say he wants to be like his mummy. He may adorn his wrist with a ‘mangalsutra’, hoho, but has no problem in using his legs to kick louts. He is shown hosting kitty parties and urging fat aunties into shape: huge stereotypes, dear director and writer, connecting all your jolly housewives and ‘kitties’, and stay-at-home ladies and bulges; tsk. When Ka is not doing all of the above, he is busy wheeling his trike (yes, trike) up and down certain heavy-traffic bearing Delhi roads – these are roads, any Dilliwala will tell you, where only trucks and buses and cars carrying passengers will traverse. Couldn’t they find a residential colony?

Ki is better drawn. The director is an ad man, so Kareena’s character is spot on. She plays it familiar but is svelte and lively enough. The office is just so, but I could not shake off the feeling that the Ka-Ki home was basically an overdressed set.

Plus, Arjun and Kareena give off precious little steam, despite all the canoodling on display. That takes some off the edge of the couple. Or is all that sibling-like matter-of-factness a thing these days? And then there is the incessant chatter about men and women, and this is what ‘they’ do, and this is what ‘they’ must not do. All too message-y.

Good to see the premise– send a woman out, keep a man in, and reverse gender expectations- on screen: it just needed to have been sharper and deeper.

Cast: Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Rajit Kapur, Swaroop Sampat

Auluck: This Breakfast Tip To Lose Weight

If You're Trying to Lose Weight, This Breakfast Tip Is Just What You Need

         

    

     If you're reserving eggs for your brunch-filled weekends, you need to know a secret: they may just be the keys to weight-loss success. Here's why you should be eating more eggs to lose more pounds.

    They're proven to work: A 2008 study found that obese subjects lost more weight and had a higher reduction in waist circumference when they ate a breakfast of two eggs instead of bagels (both paired with a calorie-reduced diet), even though each group's breakfast contained the same amount of calories.

    They're packed with protein: Your morning meal should be full of protein to keep you feeling satisfied until lunch. In fact, many experts say that you should get at least 20 grams of protein with your breakfast to stay full and boost metabolism. The good news? Eating two eggs puts you on the right track - one egg contains about six grams of protein.

    They're a healthy (and convenient) choice: When you're starving and in need of something to sate your grumbling stomach, a hardboiled egg can be the quick, low-calorie snack that tides you over until your next meal. Pair one hardboiled egg (78 calories) with an apple (80 calories) for a substantial snack that will keep you satisfied without needing to resort to the vending machine. 

Can't bear the thought of grabbing another hard-boiled egg before you head out the door? Many of these healthy, creative egg recipes can be made ahead of time so you can still stay on the right track no matter how rushed you are in the morning.
