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!

Go back to the state you had as a child when you believed nothing was impossible.
Paradigm Shift

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
