The Saint..Picked up from CricInfo.com

Well like every other Indian i am a great fan of Sachin Tendulkar... Recently went through an article at CricInfo.com that appeared in the November 2003 issue of Wisden Asia Cricket. That was really awesome...I personally liked the last paragraph of the article,i have marked that para and italicized it for the ease of finding it......Here follows : *********** The two keenest appreciations of Sachin Tendulkar were made from vantage points that could not have been more opposite to each other, and together serve as an incontrovertible cross-reference to his greatness. The first was Sir Donald Bradman's famous remark to his wife during the1996 World Cup that Tendulkar put him in mind of how he himself batted. The second is the widespread understanding in the cricket community that match-fixers will not successfully get on with their crooked business until Tendulkar is out, and an anecdotal account of how Tendulkar once unwittingly ruined a fix by batting too blissfully well. ...

Harsha Bhogle on Sachin Tendulkar...But still I don’t want to be in those shoes.

                                                   Remember when you failed an examination. How many people recall that, your class, friends, relatives? You failed to make it to the IITs or IIMs. Who remembers. How many times have you had the feeling of being the best in your class, school , university, state….., you failed to get a visa stamped this quarter…, you missed a promotion this year…, how did it feel when you dad told you in your early twenties that you are good for nothing…..and now your boss tell you the same… You keep introspecting and go into a shell when people most of whom don’t matter a dime in your life criticize you, back bite you, make fun of you. You are left sad and shattered and you cry when your own kin scoffs at...

I am no more a Cribber..

Gone are the days when i used to miss mumbai like anything,as i had firm faith time changes everything, and it got true pretty quick. Well it may seem that i don't miss mumbai anymore,but speaking precisely i mean i don't miss the fun in Mumbai as i used to do in the initial days,coz i have started enjoying Delhi too. Well it is always a pleasure being in these mighty cities specially being a bachelor,U can explore the city on and on. Don't know how is the life afterwards.Sorry if if i am carrying some wrong perceptions. Well as a much believed,fact that everything comes with it's share of pro's and con's, and i too had such pro's and con's when i moved to Delhi. And many a times a single pro is such,that it weighs out all the other con's alone. And that pro of me being in Delhi is my Mom,i can be there near to her..I don't have to long for months to see her..and i am loving it.. Anywayz there are still things that i miss from my L...

Nostalgia..

It always happens in life of a person that he gets into the past…But I believe I am more of a nostalgic person…Coz what all is in my mind is Memories ‘n’ Memories… Sometimes it’s me and sometimes few things which makes me crawl back into this world of Nostalgia.. Like the song “Jaane Kyun” from Dostana, whenever I hear it I go back it in my first few days in Mumbai. Every other thing like old pics from college makes me feel the same (This reminds me : Few days back I lost all my pics right from the start of the college till date from desktop coz of a severe virus  and me great don’t even have a backup of it..) Well summarizing I would say I am a man who loves to be in his past…and all credit goes to all of my dear friends who made all my these days extra special ,so that I can cherish them lifelong.

Love u Mom...

Last two weeks were one of the toughest I’ve ever seen in my life...Saturday 2nd October night saw Anjaana Anjaani with friends and Sunday 3rd October I woke up with fever and that started it all…I had dengue…. Initial few diagnosis said it just as a viral fever….Finally went home on Thursday and then it was all my Mom who did it for me…Doc had suggested to have high calories meals as dengue often burns up the calories and blood platelet count goes down rapidly and then follows severe weakness and muscle Ache.. But mom with her care and love just made me get over it in just 3-4 days...Then the routine checkup and others things to follow and I got back to office after a 2 week break on 19 October ‘Tuesday… Well this is again one of the countless selfless deeds mom does for us…So don’t want to wait for Mother’s day or any other special day...Just want to say you make my every day special…Love you mom….. Wish I could do even 1/3rd of things you’ve done for me…...

जूते कहां उतारे थे..Lines from Movie UDAAN..Narrated by : Rajat Barmecha

छोटी छोटी चितराई यादें, बिछी हुई है लम्हों की लॉन  में ....... नंगे पैर उन पर चलते चलते इतने दूर आ गये कि अब भूल गये है, जूते कहां उतारे थे। एड़ी नाजुक थी जब आये थे और नाजुक ही रहेगी जब तक ये खट्टी मीठी यादें इन्हें गुदगुदाती रहेगी सच अब भूल गये है जूते कहां उतारे थे, पर लगता है कि अब उनकी जरूरत नहीं है।
