Not without you!!!

2012 the year will be remembered for some sad and for most horrified things…

We lost some of very fine actors, singers of yesteryears, some finest cricketers called it off. Parliament the theater of absurd kept the promise alive - of screwing the country left right and center.
There were scams, most of the Parliament sessions went in vain.  

Things will move on, people will forget, laws will be amended, some will be made more stringent but amidst the saga one thing which remained constant were your efforts to KEEP THIS COUNTRY INDIA'S BORDERS SAFE AND SECURED THROUGHOUT 2012.   
The smile on our faces is cause of the relentless Sacrifices which you have made!!!

Thank you Indian Army, Navy and Air force
MAY THE GOD OF WAR BE WITH YOU!

Muslim unlike Pakistani….

Winning and losing is part of a game. What matters is approach and more importantly the attitude – which one shows throughout the process!

For sheer looks Imran Khan the Pakistani has always been my favourite, no one remotely comes close to looks which he carried! Then comes the "swing of sultan" Wasim Akram, they also had the likes of India’s biggest "tormentors" Minandad, Anwar, Sohail and Younis but everyone had one thing in common – Unnecessary Attitude – which spelled Blood which spelled REVENGE!

This chap on the block is way different…. 
 

He was at ease, appreciated blowers when the delivery was unplayable not once in the innings you saw emotions overpowering the logic.


And when reached to his second century he was insanely thank-full to Almighty / Allaha.

Congratulations Nasir Jamshed – for seeing it through! Just a request we don’t want to see a - "Wall" Against India – Score and flourish elsewhere expect against against Indians! :-))

RIP - Tony Greig.


He was born in South Africa, he represented England, Captained the side.He lived in Australia and
Boy....... was a diehard fan of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, it was a picture which I had seen in year 2000 where there was Bat hung on the back wall of his office table, the bat had MRF logo.


My first introduction to this commentator came in year 1998 during Sharjah Cup and since then I was a diehard fan of Tony Greig..

The words which he used were spot on! The pace at which he delivered the message was exemplary!

Today we have the likes of SG, Shastri, Ian Chappel, Richie Benaud and Company but the real master who showed the meaning of PUNCH, who showed us the meaning of RUN TIME COMMENTARY was none other than you Mr. Tony G.

RIP - Tony Greig - for me you were the best commentator, for me such lively commentary will never take place again!



Listen in to one of this commentary.....




 Thank you!

DAY WHEN - GOD WILL BE IN TEARS!!!!

Truth be told; Yeah, off late I have been critical. I took on fight with friends, with colleagues - speaking anything against you was like a CRIME!

You were the living example for billions. Yet post WC win, I always thought of the talents which were just sitting on bench hoping to get a chance someday!

With Dravid's departure I was in tears.... but with you saying good bye to One Day Cricket; is like EXPERIENCING A PERIOD OF SILENCE AFTER A MAMMOTH STROM!

This strom came in 1989 and ruled the cricketing world for 23years.....

Your presense was a gift sent by God to the People of India. But now with your departure he too will be in tears....
 
One feeling which descibes your retirement - NUMBNESS!
















Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

THANK YOU SO  VERY MUCH!!!!

ROMEO MUST DIE!!!

1989 I was just 9 and before I knew the word "Passport" I was aware of two words SACHIN TENDULKAR.

You came in our life before we were aware of word ambition, goal, before desire, before joy, before win, before pain, before loss, before tears, before love, before lust.  
Time passed by and before we realized you were the sweetheart of the entire nation!

Day went by and so did the months, years passed by and before anyone could think you were there;  Standing on the PEAK OF ALL BATTING RECORDS!!!    

Hundredth international hundred was the best gift you had given to this nation…
SRT you have given too much to the game of cricket, and a reason for this nation to SMILE.  


 
But isn’t this an appropriate time to call it off..
We all want to see you to go in grace!!!

Game w/o you will never be the same - but then we are also grownups who have realized even ROMEO SOMEDAY HAD TO DIE!!!

12-12-12 a "Coincidence!!!"

This is Special.....

A gambler would call 12-12-12 a TRIO!

For us 12-12-12 is a coincidence, which won’t repeat for next 88 years….
Witnessing day-month-year with same digit for last 12 years is /was nothing short of bliss!!! 




HAPPY 12-12-12

You Made Struggle also look so SEXY!

I could have written a bit about India’s performance with the bat at Eden, but is there any use when the team is Bleeding BLUE and BLACK already??

This write up is about “IF Only”
Yes…… first went Dravid then was VVS and along with them was an end of  a "MAGIC”

If seeing VVS was poetry in motion then Rahul Dravid made Struggle look so Sexy…..
For me results have never mattered. Winning and losing is part of any game,  for me it’s been more about the determination shown by eyes to win every context!

Is it a time to Switch on; to a different sport completely?

WILL MISS YOU CHAMP!

With Ponting gone…. Now even "God of Arrogance" can go off to sleep!

He just loved one thing; scoring hundreds all over the world. He was one of those; who was obsessed with Winning – AT ALL COST!

A rare product, had a god’s gift – of hand eye coordination.  And as far as his arrogance was concerned he was right there – sitting on the top of the tree. 
On number of occasions he had spoiled India’s evenings, ruined parties, leave alone his attitude watching him smile every time after fall of opponents' wicket or win of his team was like a “BLOW IN THE FACE”  

And yet today when I saw him walk back towards pavilion for the last time I for one was in TEARS….
What Rahul Dravid was for India Ricky Ponting was for Australia.

Slowly all those Heroes of 2000’s are walking into sunset.  The game of Cricket which they made look so beautiful is now turning into a dry battle!





Watch the MOMENT OF TRUTH! It was rightly said THANKS RICKY

Something Stupid Like I......

Leave alone Earnesty.. I honestly think about A line that matters / should actually matter! :-))





I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

Don’t ask why; Ask when to watch “FIRE IN BABYLON”.

Irrespective of color, gender, cast or creed, “Fire in Babylon” is a must watch documentary, even to those who hold no interest in the sport.  

“One people, one nation, one destiny” was the theme of West Indies team who played the sport in 70’s and 80’s.

It starts with West Indies humiliating defeat in Australia and shows how the team then transformed from “calypso” style of Cricket to a fearsome dominating unit.  

“Aggression” topped the table followed by revenge which Windies team was hell – bent to take against all white playing nations.
It was the England who received the maximum brunt followed by Australians who received the taste of their own medicine.
Team was obsessed with winning at all cost.

They had foursome awesome who persistently bowled at 90miles /hour and then they had the Monster in form of Sir Viv Richards who took opponents to all sides of the park.



If you love winning, you love see teams in despair, love to see them in tears, love to see them in anguish, love to see players flooded in pool of blood and want to know how its done; then this is THE MOVIE.
An interviews of the players who played in that era clubbed with footage makes this documentary worth to watch. 

Build a team, build it to Win Windies of 70’s and 80’s have shown us the way!

Shikare khud yahaa, shikar ho Gaya :P


Indian’s are known for playing well against the spin….
Boy, punch in and see the scorecard.
Second test of Mumbai has exposed the loopholes and once the strongest middle order which had the likes of vintage Dravid's and Lakshman's is now looking lame.

MSD asked for turning track, he got the turning track
He wished to win the toss, he won the toss. Wished to bat first, Indian team team batted first

But what mattered was A WIN. And sadly the team just not failed they failed miserably.

India VS England series was termed by many as Revenge Series…..

Its turning out to be reversal of fortune series!
Well Played England.

History would have been made. History was made!

Sau Paulo Brazil – season’s last race wasn’t a race for podium but for WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!

In the hot seat were Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
None of the drives won the race and yet stars favored Sebastian Vettel.

Vettel became the youngest driver to have won his third straight F1 championship title at age of 25. In the process he also broke the record of legendary Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, who was the then youngest triple champion at age of 31.   



The highlight of the race was to see

Sahara Force India driver leading the pack but the heartbreak moment came in 49th lap.

If only he would have continued the lead for next 22laps he would have been on Podium… 


Now for 2013!

What’s more APPELING? ;-)

A WEEKEND OR....   

A LETTER OF PROMOTION RECEIVED ON A WEEKEND??

One thing which I realized lately is Promotion takes time!” At least it linked up with my brand :D

A thing I should have got way before. But as they say “Better late than never!”


Parents were happy, sibblings congratulated me, friends said celebrate the Success:
I’m in no way a cynic….. But over the years after seeing, and intentionally / unintentionally being part of good and ugly side of a coin, I couldn’t resist but think of a song;

YEE DUNIYA AGER MILE BHE JAYEE TO KYAA HAI….  
Having said that, I can’t take away the credit from the efforts, dedication which I have shown at times ;-) encouragement, support which I have received from manager/(s) super manager/(s) and last the company which has given me a face! :-)

- Thanks to all of them, Thank you Persistent.

200X4 Clarity Personified :-))

After Ashes, it’s the match between Protease against Down Under, which is worth your time and money!

After a great resilience which was shown by Clarke and Co in first test, Australian’s took on SA in Adelaide. And on day one of Second test Australians scored 480.

It was Australia's highest total after 1910 - when the then team had scored 494 for 6 against same opponent.

Shane Warne had once said "The better the bowling the more positive you've got to be."

Not only the Australian team but even Clarke took a leap out of his book.

Clarke today became first individual to score FOUR DOUBLE CENTURIES in a calendar year.... Now that's some achievement.

A Test - they say is test of patience, test of your concentration, a test of a character.

Well played Clarke.

The Godfather ruled even in sleep!

There was time when it was said;

“A single word from Sena Chief was enough to bring the City of Mumbai to a Halt."

A leader, who was in search of an enemy, was also feared by Mumbai’s Rich and Powerful!

Had it not been for this Godfather Maharashtra wouldn’t have seen Bramhin CM ever.
Amidst the changing times one thing which remained constant was his ability to Strike Fear…


Started with Mumbai, today it’s State of Maharashtra.
Evening was to be an unprecedented experience for me; From Hotel Radio in Camp to Vaishali on FC road, from Koreagoan Park to Kothrud never had I seen retailers, malls, liquor shops, markets, restaurants, petrol pumps all shut cause of one Politician’s demise!

Call it a Love or Fear…. THE GODFATHER RULED EVEN IN HIS LONG LASTING SLEEP!
Bal Kesha Thackery. RIP!!!

Democratic Constitution, Blind-folded Nation!

31 Oct 1984, was the day when the most powerful, dynamic lady of that time was assassinated. It was Operation Blue Star which cost Ms. Gandhi her life.....

What followd then was a mayhem - It continued for three days... It is reported that in those three days 1, 2 and 3 November around 3000 innocent Sikhs lost their lives.

Rajiv Gandhi was then sworn in as PM of India and when asked about Sikh Riots he then said and I quote "When a big tree falls, ground beneath is bound to shake"

Revenge: God, Bad or Ugly is for one to decide, You either go for it, or leave it to Karma.

But point is what Moral right dose then one have to blame others for their direct or indirect involvement in similar sort of riots / activities?

Godhra too was a bad thing for innocent Muslims and Hindus who lost their lives and yet when the countdown for Gujarat Assembly polls have started - Congress and UPA are going all guns blazing.

For no reason whatsoever, they are all set to remind the families of victims of those dark lonely days....

Its just not Congress or UPA, neither BJP or NDA its about POWER and @the cost off....

Politics - Can it get worst???

Live Strong or was it LIVE WRONG?

Back in year 2000 he came up with his biographical book - It’s Not About The Bike: My Journey Back to Life.

In 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer,  which was later spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain. Doctors then had given a little chance of his survival and yet he went on to be a living role model for hundreds of thousands…   
The autobiographical book talks lot about his grit, determination, fighting spirit, it was / still is a must read book for the people from all walks of life.

Yet today one wonders is the title in itself a paradigm shift?

It’s not about the bike… then was it all about Doping!  

His old teammates, close friends turned foe. Many of whom came out against him with doping charges and finally when it mattered Armstrong refused to fight against US Anti-Doping Agency through arbitrator.

USADA came with evidence showing Armstrong was involved in doping and banned him from cycling for life. Further they ordered to erase all his titles including the record breaking – Tour de France titles.

But here is one Question
@ That level doping; drug intake to enhance the performance is rampant, done by most of the Athletes. Just those who are caught are accused for the REST "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!" 

How does it matter for common mortals?
If not the king of race, you still remain one of the greats who also took enormous efforts to help Cancer patients.

In the day of adversity, YOU HAVE SHOWN MANY "A RAY OF HOPE"!!! Lance Armstrong...

IS HE OVER THE HILL?

Here he was who took an oath of giving up on liquor (even rum balls ;) for a year. He gave up for a substantial period which was more than a year but, then……… IT WAS LIQUOR!

Poor chap was oblivion to the brutal side of it... It came back and this TIME AROUND WITH A POTENT VENGEANCE...

Why? The answer lies in between the lines….

You never give up on liquor, you just control for a night and then for night and then for night and then story of "THE NIGHT" CONTINUES.... THE STRUGGLE JUST GOES ON...
 
Bottom line…. Who’s happier?

The one who has managed to giveup liquor and yet who thinks about golden days and nights of drinking or the one who actually drinks knowing it will lead him/her to NOWHERE!
Knowing everything, he was stupid, he was angry, most importantly he was left HIGH AND DRY, after the entire day of satisfactory work he still had this energy to go and gulp half a bottle. He also had energy to blog!

Has he reached the...  
POINT OF NO RETURN OR IS HE OVER THE HILL? 

Where all he expects is to start a new day with "MODERATION"!

- Barring liquor BTW!!!:D

Thank you Simon Taufel

It was the best t-20 final and the World did witness Windies resurgence. Badly they needed a win and the got the win.

In close encounters we often praise players for their unique approach, god's gift – ability of hand - eye coordination but, seldom

Do we realy notice the efforts from the Umpires who play equally crucial role in and off the field? Actually No!

But here was one such Umpire who did incredible job on 22yards walked into sunset last evening.

Simon Taufel an Austalian born was one of my favorite such Umpire. His presence on the field brought calmness to the game. Most of the decisions which he took were spot on.

He had also won the ICC Umpire of the Year award for five successive years from 2004 to 2008. An achievement which speaks for itself.

Man with no controversies whatsoever was a great asset to this game of cricket.

Thank you Taufel for all the right decision you made for the teams and Nations.

It wasnt a sex. It was Sodomy....

Boy, they played well, in fact really well!

Windies had won the toss and opted to bat first... First 50 of their inning's came in 74 balls, they did manage to put a decent score of 138 but, I for one seriously thought it was "TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE"

Little did I knew then; it was just a start, the real magic unfolded in second innings, when Lankans came to bat. Batsman came and went and yet barring their Skipper no one managed to surpass the magical individual score of 30.

The moment of rubbing salt on the wound came in Eighteenth over when Samuel who was about to bowl suddenly took a halt and celebrated - AS IF THEY HAD WON!

Hindsight is the best teacher.... and one can only say in the hindsight: it was Lankans who PAID PRICE FOR THEIR OWN SINS!

Knowing weakness of Windies against spin, Lankans opted for big turner and in the end... well now it’s History!

No team, no nation would want to be on losing side, for Lankans now its Fourth time in a row.... they have been runners-up in world championship....

Caribbean rock show is back in town. :-))

If it wasn’t India, then it had to be Pakistan and now when two of sub-continents lousy, unpredictable teams are out, my Money is on Windies....

After all we owe them support don’t we?

The theory of Law of Karma rightly says.... "As you sow, so shall you reap"

It was incredible batting display from Pollard, Gayle and the co. which trashed Australia's hopes.. It brought smiles on Indian faces and why not afterall Aussies were beaten black and blue....



For outsider tonight’s game is just another game but for playing team IT'S A MUST WIN GAME!

Its now or never Windies.... May the lady luck be with you, may the Sunshine once again on Windies shore.....

Paint the world, Paint with Maroon.... 

Thursday, September 27, 2012

Now its about LADYLUCK :-))

t-20 after all is all about family outing, crazy evenings, power hitting, incrediable shouting and for the teams its about proving THE STAMP OF AUTHORITY against the opponent!

Having said that I also thought the start of ICC World Cup t-20 2012, was a lame show.

Teams with lesser experience, exposure were against Big Guns of Cricketing world. 

 
But now it’s all about REAL BUSINESS – SUPER 8

Only Four out of Eight will go in Semis, Two out Four will meet in Final and just ONE will walk away with GLORY!

The team with LADYLUCK on its side on OCTOBER 10 - WILL CARRY THE CUP!


LET THE LADY LUCK SMILE ON INDIA ONE MORE TIME. - AMEN!!!

He went like a light.... Came like a THUNDER!

Dreaded word which starts from letter "C" - has never - ever been good for any mortal. Some struggle day in and out to overcome this disease, some poor souls give it up and then we know people who aren’t film stars but ordinary humans who with sheer grit fight against odds and come out winning against Cancer.

Yuvraj story is no different.

It wasn’t only his mother but the entire stadium erupted in joy when this classy left hander came out to bat.
The end was certainly not a fairy tale finish for Yuvraj but then who cares??

The man just showed us

 

"HOPE IS STRONGER THAN FEAR"!

WELCOME BACK YUVRAJ. :-))

The Bucket List (DIVINE COMEDY)

This movie is nearly a unnecessary long script and yet one would notice tears rolling down the cheeks.... A MUST WATCH!!!


The story is nothing but the fight of two Men who are trapped by the dreaded word C - Cancer. One finds amazing difference or DEAF-Rence (as one may take)

The difference is between being strong against being Honest.


The difference is between holding a grudge against being in love.

The difference is between being ok, against being full of life.

The difference is between being a Man, against being a faithful Husband.

The difference is between you against everyone.

The difference is between life against DEATH, between end against being in TEARS, between dream against REALITY!

Retired HURT.

"There comes a time when we laugh, not because we enjoy the surrounding but, we are too old to cry!"

First went Dravid, now its Lakshaman -

These were the best men who represented India through their Cricket. And boy the skills, the passion, the love which they brought  to the game was unmatched!!! 

Lakshaman just like Dravid was unsung hero for many years...

These guys brought smiles on our face, they had the ability to change the mood of entire nation and now with their departure our eyes are filled with tears.

We the Humans are greedy by the nature. No matter how much we have, we still lookout for something extra, something special. 



I for one would have liked to see these men bat for one more time, for one last time.... But I guess..... 

GOOD MEN GO FIRST!!! 

Thanks VVS. 

Memories which you gave us are "VERY VERY SPECIAL"

Man behind Mahatma...

CNN - IBN's initiative to find "The Greatest Indian" after Mahatma was an unprecedented search in-itself. 

It was B R Ambedkar, who was voted as "The Greatest Indian" after Mahatma. Rightly so after all he too was a brain, Not for nothing is he called "Father of Constitution" 

But in retrospect, here is one question which I have always come across... 

Would have India considered Gandhi as REAL MAHATMA, if he would have died A NATURAL DEATH? 
 
THINK........................... 

For all those Gandhi protagonists....

They say, behind every successful man
there is a women (or two). 
Behind Gandhi's success story to Mahatma it was contribution from... 

NATHURAM VINAYAK GODSE.

Project - ROAD MAP!

Its the Dream which will turn into Mission. Mission will help to formulate objective and once the objective is set the GOAL/(S) is bound to turn in REALITY! 

Irrespective of success or failure, setting GOALS - short-term and long term are utmost important for all the individuals, for Corporate Giants, for SME's, for Nations. Be it in field of personal achievements, acquiring new ventures or improving per capita of Nation. 

Once the goal is /are set it becomes easier for entities to work towards it. 

As far as sport / Olympic events are concerned...  


From 1 Medal in 2004 Athens to 3 in 2008 Beijing to 6 in 2012 London Olympics India has emerged as a Nation with WINNING POTENTIAL.

But there is a difference between WINNING POTENTIAL AND POWERHOUSE.

India may not be able to match US, India  will surely not go China way... 

But it can definitely take cues from some countries who have raised there tally of medals exponentially over past few decades. 

India has talent in abundance..... 
All India / Indians need is a ROAD - MAP "A GOAL!!!"

GOOD-LUCK FOR RIO...

More of a Rhetorical Question....


It was India's last chance to grab a Gold in London 2012 Olympic - Yes color matters!

Billions of eyes were glued to television sets as India's last hope was probably into - A MATCH OF HIS LIFE!!! 

And yet in few minutes hopes were thrashed, the man of the moment had lost the Wrestling final and subsequently India was eluded from its first gold medal of the tournament.

It was disappointing but, Man do we know what it takes to win back to back medals?

Sushil Kumar a guy from small town of India came into Olympics and not only did he achieve Bronze in Beijing 2008 Olympics but,  


TODAY HE BECAME FIRST INDIAN TO WIN BACK -TO - BACK OLYMPIC MEDALS IN INDIVIDUAL SPORTING EVENT.  

YOU'VE POURED IN RAY OF HOPE, BROUGHT THE SMILES... 

YOU HAVEN'T LOST THE GOLD, YOU WON THE SILVER.. YOU'VE MADE US PROUD! - SK

Shit Happens..... US of Holes :D :D

Opps... Bolt dose it AGAIN!

On 6 Aug Bolt won 100 meters and defended his title. Second to Carl Lewis.
On 10 Aug Bolt won 200 meters and yet again defended his title.The only man to achieve it under the Sun.
On 12 Aug Bolt truly stamped his mark on race circuit. As he lead Jamaica to world record in 4X100 meters relay.

At start of the Olympic games the great American Carl Lewis said and I quote "Its the U.S. who would win more medals in athletic events than any other nation"

Shit happens US of A(ss ;)


Jamaicans not only created history in this event but this lad achieved UNPRECEDENTED FEAT BY DEFENDING ALL THREE OF HIS TITLES...

Friday, August 10, 2012

Craving for Gold, RECORD FOR LIFE!!! :-))

Carl Lewis  won his first 100meter dash in 1984 and then went on to defend his 100 meter title in 1988. Thanks largely to Ben Johnson Durg row, Carl became first man to defend his title... 

Start of this week worlds fastest man - Bolt equaled Lewis record by defending 100meter title, but it was today he truly created HISTORY!

First Man on planet to defend both 100 and 200 meters titles respectively! 

Take a bow, LIVING LEGEND!

Monday, August 6, 2012

U - Ain't Bolt ;-))

Last night was treat.....

You see him run and you'll notice he is unhuman!

Four other mortals in world took center stage for 100 meters at Olympic ground and in the hindsight one would say: “And then there was a God who also ran the race!” ;-))

In the final race it was Bolt who made other four guys look like kids. Make no mistake it was an Olympic event, and these boys were four fastest guys in the world…. Who have clocked 100mts below 10seconds.


Usain Bolt once said and I quote “If I am in lead for first 80 meters then, no one in the world can beat me”

Boy, now that’s some confidence!




And it wasn’t just the confidence but, he made sure he stood by his own statement.

He is virtually unbeatable right now!

Beaming with confidence Bolt is just a race away from achieving his long cherished dream…. Becoming a “LIVING LEGEND” by defending his Olympic 100- and 200-meter titles.


The stage is for Tuesday....

Mother of all Sports - good to go!!!

Muhammad Ali once said and I quote "I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." Ask any sportsmen and h/she will agree to the fact! 

No matter how good you are...... "To be on top of your game, one needs to be insanely disciplined! After all at this level - EVERY SECOND COUNTS!

Not for nothing is Olympic called the Mother of all sports. 
Where friends off the field are at war during the event! 
But this time around its just not a war, London Olympics 2012 is bound to break hearts, it will equally send nations on cloud 9. 




Sportsmen to look forward too..... 

Usain Bolt. - Jamican who is on brink to break his own record.
Roger Federer - Shy away from winning his first ever Olympic Gold. 
Michael Phillip - only if he wins 4 medals this time around, he will hold world record of 20 Olympic medals. 
And last but not least India - as a nation who has potential to surpass - Carl Lewis record of 9gold medals. :P  

Truth be told, though India have nominations in Tennis, Shooting, Weightlifting and many other team / individual sports, but I'll be rooting for Badminton trio.... 

Saina Nehwal, Ashwini Ponappa and sizziling Jwala Guta. 
Girls hope you win the battle of cocks! ;-))

Tattoo a craze or TABOO?

There are two sorts of people; one who have tattoos and second those who hate people with tattoos. ;-))

I for one never had any fascination or attraction about tattoos.

The body is a fine piece of art already and yet why damage?

But, over the years we the people change and so dose the thinking!

People have million reasons to go behind the ink.


Tattoo no matter of which design; -
It carries a meaning and tell something about the person and his or her background, belief.

Tattoo should represent personal expression and not youthful impulse leave alone drunken mistake.









Tattoos are for the ordinary people with one extraordinary thing – They are "rebellious" by nature who are ready to go against the set of rules laid down by the society.


Tattoo also gives a different KICK btw!


Yes, the sound of the machine, seeing / experiencing of needle go in and out of your body thousand times is worth a case. 


Make no mistake though "Good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos arent good!"
