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!
