Cricket was discovered for some purpose

It is said that all great man become great because it is their destiny.The world will conspire and many will perspire to make You great!! Secret of becoming great is yet to be discovered but its purpose is definitely not concealed.Greatness is a thing which can not be described in words but it can only be felt and discussed endlessly.There are many ways to define a person's greatness.So for Sachin what is it that is making him great not great in fact greatest ever.Do I have the capability to analyze Sachin.NO is a simple answer but what I do have is my sense of perception which I can obviously use it to compare him with others. And when I do that he truly turns out to be a legend.Just use your best to compare him with anyone around in terms of technicalities,adaption skills, delivering with expectation burdened on shoulders,moral character and last but not the least the courage he holds.If he might not be able to surpass him/her he will not be less also.

     A champion who made his passion his own world and eventually became a ruler.His technical skills are far more trademarked and copy booked.I will not go on and write things which more than billions of people are already aware of like most centuries in ODIs and test matches,most number of runs in both the formats etc.I do agree with the fact that statistics really gives a very good idea about a player.But does it gives an overall idea of a sportsman.Its 50-50. He is the only player who has scored a double century in ODIs and that too not out.The quality of inning could be justified by stating the facts that there were no chances offered not even a half one.The wagon wheel which was showed in that match is considered to be a perfect one.There were no edges past the keeper,all the shots were better than previous one.

                            

    The life that he is living, I am sorry common man lives Legends only enjoy, the life that he is enjoying is just like this double hundred flawless with the minimum number of fingers pointing at him and full of good quality strides throughout the walk of his life and just like this inning he still going strong and still surprising people with his ability to still even time.The quality that this person brings to this game is irreplaceable.The quality that this person brings to the game is the quality which he has held on to himself as a human being for all these past 20 years. Sharukh fighting Amir, Mallya firing Charu, corporates having nightmares due to litigation faced by their senior executives, brothers splitting up over shares, fake publicizes to sell products , (इतना  हो  रहा  है दुनिया में और हमको लगता था हम ही सबसे बड़े पापी हैं ! ) despite these news there is always a headline or article where Sachin will find his deserved place, getting accolades from some one or other.What does this do?This brings the belief back that Yes if greatness is destined You will become great just walk the life with all your stamina.Stamina, it is, 20 years completed in a sports and this will go on it seems.This man holds another record of playing most number of years at international level.Many would say he did not even graduate, but every record that he has made has been designed by maestro himself. He has battled the highs and lows of his life and is an architect of his own life.You don't need a degree for that, You should have a belief.

Now it is the time to defense:-

1)Sachin was not a good captain and his form degraded when he was a captain:- I would just plainly shrugg it off by asking "What is his birth year?" Millions of people will jump and quickly answer 24th April 1973 xx hour yy minutes zz seconds aa millisecond.But those who critize wont have the time to subtract 96 with 73 which gives 23. बकवास  करा  लो  बस!!तुम्हे बनायें इतनी उम्र में इंडिया का कप्तान.This is age when most player will struggle even these days that too after so much exposure and even under Sachin's guidance and at that age many wanted him to become a good leader. 

2)Then Why did he not become a captain afterwards:- It is because there was no problem for Indian cricket team in terms of who will hold the position of captain just after that.We had Ganguly,Kumble and now Dhoni.All of them are wonderful players too.Moreover what I feel is that Sachin knows what role is best for him.His role is now to nurture youngsters under his guidance.Ask Bhajji what made it possible for him to strike two centuries consecutively.

3)Sachin did not help Kambli when he was in trouble:- I am sure no one even cared about it.It was meant to be a joke but some how few took it as a serious opportunity to make money.वैसे serial का नाम क्या था जिसमे सच झूठ का पता कर रहा था  मशीन पे बैठा के एक आदमी जिसको खुद नहीं पता वो क्या कर रहा है.

4)No triple hundred in test cricket:- This is the only part which I am also not able to believe myself.But surely Sachin is having this thing in mind and because of my blood group I am sure he will bestow upon us this gift too.

At last for all of You there are few videos which I have gone through over You tube which shows the class of Sachin as a batsman as an all rounder and as a person.

 

The itchy desire to touch it!!

What is the difference between writing with a ball point pen, a fountain pen,a pencil?It is the type of impression they make on the paper but what is similar is the feeling You tend to get on scratching a paper using them. What is the difference between writing with a pen and typing using keyboard? What? I can't compare these two, though purpose is same, both are used to record history but yet there is nothing common in them,they even do not feel the same.I wonder while I hear myself answering this statement , when was the last time I rotated a pen on top of my thumb- a very particular set of skill which students acquire when a pen is said to be a best pal at that age.When was the last time I wrote and filled a paper completely with words.In the name of writing I am doing nothing, merely taking down numbers , sometime taking down notes that too using keywords only and when there is need drawing diagrams where square looks like a circle.

       The technology has really advanced . Let us take an example of technological advancement in the field of writing instruments.There has been a tectonic shift in the area of writing forms.From "a cave man scratching pictures with the sharpened-stone tool onto the walls of his cave dwelling to represent events in  his daily life such as the planting of crops or hunting victories" via "making ample amount of preparation before You sat down to write using a quill(a bird's feather)" via "dipping a fountain pen in a bottle of ink and scratching on a paper cursively yet elegantly to avoid the deposit of ink on the paper" via "war amongst corporate houses to become best ball point pen selling company of the world".Oh Yeah!!Now I remember my favorite it was 045 Reynolds fine carbure.But now I don't need to ponder over these historical advancements and go to a stationery shop every six or seven days to get a refill for my pens all thanks to my keypad(s).

                                 

      
I was shocked to see BABA , not that he is any slim now but rather a pen was tucked in the pocket of his shirt :-o.Hats off BABA!!Nowadays there are people having more laptops,macbooks than pens and pencils altogether in their houses.I find it very common people asking for pen at various places like banks,post offices,even at there companies help desks.And what is even more mirthful to watch is people queuing up for the same pen. भाई साहब आपका हो जाएगा तो मुझे भी दे देना!! (Bhai sahab! once You are done please pass it to me).I am myself a familiar face in these queues. You need not to mention what do You want but the person will understand Your plight :). A pen would have never been in so much demand earlier thanks again to the latest p5,i3,i7 processors and mobile phones with extra ordinary facilities to save drafts and do calculations when You cannot open your laptop.Where are the adds which Amitabh Bacchan and Shahrukh Khan were doing for their respective brands, I can't find them either.Is it that the marketing costs are not matching the sales acquired.Or is it that the student makers have accepted the fact that the dusk has arrived and it is time to say good bye!!

      Whatever the case may be I feel there is nothing common when comparing a typing speed and writing speed.The writing is identity of a person but typing is a way to conceal the identity.Using typed texts You can only analyze the strength of a person's grammatical abilities but You can't judge his artistic skills, his introvert or his extrovert nature, you can't tell if he is consistent in his thinking.The touch of a pen,the grip of it, making rotation intermediately,chewing the pen we are missing every bit of it.I could have named the title as "story of a sad pen" but truly my desire to use it is far more stronger.

My Message:- Let us hold our respective used to be favorite pen and have a 2 minutes silence in the name of it!!

About One of my playlist!

I have been listening to these for sometime now.I have shared the feeling I get behind each song with nearly every of my friends who lives nearby.I hope this reaches out to most of You via this medium. Below are the ten songs and a movie clip which you can find me listening to literally during any kind of mood.You can find the corresponding videos by clicking on them.

1)Kholo kholo[taare zameen par].  The first song that is meant to open your minds and spread  your hands beyond boundary.Wonderfully written and sung lyrics and equally good music.

2)Beat it[MJ]. Initial burst of energy. I will call it as a warm up.This song needs no description. Sung,composed,danced everything done by the legend himself.

3)Yun hi chala chal raahi[swades]. Beautiful jugalbandi, listen to kailash kher he is awesome and the instruments used they are bit unusual.The highs and lows of this song along with artistic lyrics are the notes that will take you to another high.

4)Another Brick In the wall[Pink Floyd]. The video clip is taken from a live performance by pink floyd.Yes its now time to protest , cry out loud and get in the groove.

5)Maa rewa[Indian Ocean]. The end of previous song will slowly fade away amidst the equally smooth start of this song.A beautiful description of river Narmada.Flow with this song to feel the flow of the river.

6)Sayonee[Junoon]. Meaning please!! 'SayoNee is basically a Punjabi phrase composed of two words
Sayo = Se'hail'yian (Urdu) Friends (English)
Nee = Ar'ri (Urdu) Oh'my or You (English)'.Yes its time to remember friends.

7)Summer of 69'[Bryan Adams] - Video is a must. The crowd is so beautiful :) and the way Bryan is performing . Try to put yourself into his shoes . Can anyone entertain a crowd more than this.

8)November Rain[Guns n Roses]. One of my favorites.This song starts with a skeptical heart refraining itself from love and eventually ending up accepting the fact that it can't live alone anymore. Slash rocks look out for the solo performance by slash in front of the church.

9)High Hopes[Pink Floyd]. Video is a must.My mind has started deviating after listening to the above song as if nothing will last forever.It is time to regain consciousness and start concentrating.So how about a ride beyond the universe with a concentration exercise. Focus on the circle which appears during the middle of the video.

10)Jugni[Alif Lohar]. Finally I will thank god for giving us such beautiful musicians and singers with this song.Though the song directly praises God by its awestruck Sufi singing but I will listen to it whenever I want to praise anything which let me feel en emotion which we all call "pleasure".

I know the peak is still rising but the list is over.What should I do now.O Yes! I will watch
this movie scene to comfort myself that mera number ayega. My luck will also start working :) .Finally before I fall asleep I will loop the play-list .Done. Time to got to sleep.Gn :)

Unreal Tournament!!

"Shit!! What the hell!! Cable connection is not working , it is already 9 PM, time for my favorite reality show.This time I am not going to pay those b#&tards for the cable.This is the second time this is happening in past month. I wonder who will be eliminated today, I am sure that b$@ch is going down or may be the long hair guys should be gone, I don't like him either".

         Don't worry I am myself not able to understand the point how the elimination will affect the life of person speaking these words.But I am sure the person is borrowing attributes which any parents would have never wanted to be present in their kid even during the period when Fred Flintstone was busy rubbing stones in the cave.I am yet here again with another strong opinion about the so called reality shows being aired day and night over multiple channels all over the world.
       Before I start talking or according to many "taking out my frustration" :) I would like to state following facts about reality television:-
FACT1: The beginning of reality television can be traced back to the early days of 1940s. Allen Funt’s "Candid Camera" went on air in the year 1948 and portrayed for the first time reactions of common man to humorous pranks. It was followed by Ted Mack's talent search show "Original Amateur Hour". These shows telecasted competitions among amateur competitors and for the first time the element of public voting began. This involvement of the ordinary public with these shows gave rise to the popularity of reality television.
FACT2:These shows provide artists a good platform to get noticed and help people to win money and fame.Take example of our "SHUT UP n BOUNCE" girl Shilpa Shetty who went to BIG BROTHER.

FACT3: According to media person Tom Alderman "Reality TV can only be described as Shame TV because it uses humiliation as its core appeal".      

         Who is Tom Alderman??I have also never heard this name before but I support his views when I watch most of the reality shows.Not in full agreement though I really enjoy the dance competitions, singing reality shows and any show that is really honing the natural abilities of a talent.They are really worth watching. कृपया ध्यान दें!! चांटा खाना और गाली देने को किसी भी तरह की सक्षमता में न गिना जाए(Please see!! do not count "getting slapped" and "using abusive language" as any form of talent).

In dance reality shows and singing competitions also I tend to find the occasions because of which I start doubting about the element of reality.Situations where children are made to cry or sometime even their parents,two judges fighting on screen.अरे भाई इतनी दिक्कत है तो खुद नाच के दिखा दो!Though this blog is not questioning the reality of any reality show because I don't need any answer for that.:).

      "इस दुनिया में दो प्रकार के प्राणी हैं !! पहले जो बस किसी की बेइज्जती देख के हस्ते  हैं , दुसरे जो इस बात पे हस्ते हैं की चलो इनको एक गधा मिल गया और वो मैं नहीं हूँ  " ( There are two kinds of people in this world , First who will simply laugh at You when You are humiliated, Second who laugh because they are optimist and are grateful to the fact that they are not chosen to be humiliated ). When I laugh while watching the some of the reality shows I am actually thinking in my mind "Thanks God!! I am not as talented as this person who just got slapped on TV". So this laughter is what makes the difference amongst the people who watch these shows. This laughter will let You know what influence these shows is having on oneself,whether the person is responding positively to the core appeal of these shows or is he appreciating the fact that he is not the part of the drama.During schooldays "दूरदर्शन एक वरदान या एक  अभिशाप"(Television, a blessing or a curse) was the most favorite topic for essay writing for most people like me who used to become numb in language papers. The common point for both the aspects was that television has the power to mold minds. Nothing more left to be said after the italicized statement.

      Done writing now Can anyone tell me who will win this year's WrestleManiaXXVII.?? :)I am really saving my excitement for it. Wait! are You thinking WrestleManiaXXVII, this preaches violence.Yes they do but You know me :P. But don't worry they have provisions which says "Please do not perform this at School or Home!" and they have even accepted the fact that they hire trained professional to perform the stunts. :).

My message:-Keep watching reality shows and keep laughing!!

**Please see the three facts mentioned has been taken from http://www.buzzle.com/articles/facts-on-reality-television.html. I have even hyper linked on the first one.

I don't need to pay for this but why?

There are few things which always come for free or have discount on them running continuously. Chutney with samosa, Onions with Raajma chawal,or it can be Kuotons's (50%+49%) scheme :). I bet chutney and onions are worth taking them for free while I will not enter a shop which somehow manages to put a scheme like above. In the end I need to make the decision that the thing I am taking for free is really worth being free. We have been hearing the following quote since ages "बेटा ! जिंदगी में कुछ फ्री नहीं मिलता " (Son! there is nothing called free lunch). I wish I was this smart at that age and could tell my mother about samosa and chutney eternal relationship and how chutney wishes to go for free just to be together with her beloved.

     I wonder why I am not able buy anything when every shop reads SALE! SALE! SALE! in the town. It is not that I have not bought anything while the schemes are around but trust me my past experiences were such that I have not been able to use them to half my money's worth.In the end the costly jeans which I bought by emptying my wallet and taking rest from Gulab is giving me better ROI than the one's which people eagerly wait for seasons to buy.Some people might not agree with this opinion but seriously those who do not plainly put it as You have girlfriend(s) or mom shopping with You all the time or You need to open a business of buy/sell. This reading might have started looking like I am going through monetary and psychological issues. Yes that is true it happens every time when I read SALE!!.
          Few things are real pleasure when You obtain them for free :- food cooked by mom, a friends party,winning a bet,class notes just before the exam and lastly a railway ticket without having to pay an agent or tatkal fees. In the end the factor of joy should be there or at least the harassment after getting it for free should be absent .
My Motto:-When I have a real need to buy on my own I will pay and buy.As simple as that.

I wish if I follow this philosophy God will forgive me and from next time the sole of Reebok shoes which I bought for 50% discount will be adhered to the canvas for more than two months.hahaha

Draw a circle without using a pen!!

Simple answer to the title of this topic :- Put some ink on the edges of a circular lid and press it against some surface .You got your circle. I am sure my creative friends are still trying to figure out some more ways how to perform this trick. But this topic is not about drawing a circle which everyone can see but it is about a circle which is drawn as soon as we try to find people who can make our life easy and support us.People who we all call friends.

      

They become shield to each one's respective ideologies and interests which are at the core of this relation. They are accessible only to people who are willing to understand it, support it or rectify it and eventually end being an element of this circle. Ah! another friend. This behavior among individuals which tries to bring out the best out of everyone is the force that binds each of them together.The characteristics of this behavior can be anything from pelna(rectification by mocking) , pichwade mein takat dena(to give courage), or give support at any moment whatever the situation may be.
        If anyone says "Choose your friends wisely" . I will call him a person who has not understood the definition of friendship.I object this view because I chose my friends without applying my brain and success rate is above 90% which is quite good without wasting your time thinking. I never felt how these people would benefit me , but they benefited me. In the end all of my friends has really helped me out in enhancing my personality without them I would  have been a person who would have needed money and a good car to make friends. hahaha at last it is saving me money also. :) kabhi bhi udhaar mango mil jata hai!!!

Dedicated to all my freinds!!
Cheers!!

First Try to put my thoughts on a piece of paper!!

I don't know how to start a good blog but I definitely know how to type :). I am really trying very hard to think and write but the more I am thinking I am not able to write anything. Why is this happening am I too concerned to post a good blog?? Can somebody help me before I again decide to quit blogging. hahaha.

 But till now I am satisfied with my valiant effort to finally decide and write my first blog.Though many will consider it as a junk compared to the level of blogging going around these days. But the pleasure I am getting right now is what only I can feel at the moment. Wish  me luck !!

Signing Off!!
