SACHIN TENDULKAR- The best ODI batsman

Some quotes I read somewhere:

  • A banner once said-' I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE SACHIN ' that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest
  • A banner once said-' I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE
    SACHIN ' that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest.
  • Peter Rebouck, Aussie journalist
    "On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations.
    The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century.
    This Genius can stop time in India!!"
  • Andy Flower:
    "There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the
    others."
  • Allan Donald:
    "Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has
    many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
    world"
  • Waqar Younis
    "He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also."
  • KUMBLE:
    "I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!"
  • Matt HAYDEN:
    "I HAVE SEEN GOD, HE BATS AT NO.4 FOR INDIA"
  • Glenn McGrath:
    "The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which
    he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility -
    all make for a one-in-a-billion individual,"
  • Mark Taylor:
    "We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin" -
    Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)
  • Brian Charles Lara:
    "Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal."
  • "Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq
    when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.
  • BBC on Sachin:
    Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there
    is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something
    that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even
    those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When
    he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their
    lives "
  • "To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
    - What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially
    for Sachin
  • Hashim Amla:
    "Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin
    Tendulkar on it."
    Hashim Amla, the South African batsman, reassures himself as he boards a
    flight
  • ""I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two... his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel."

    - Sir Don Bradman (on S R Tendulkar)"

Realised it today

It was said in "Peaceful Warrior" but never realized it properly. Today I said it myself, to someone:

"If you are doing it for the pleasure of it then you will be your best but if you do it for the result then you wont be able to give your best."

P.S. : To realize it properly watch PEACEFUL WARRIOR.

Im a very slow learner

In life what you want does not depend much on how good your heart is or how much you care, it depends much more on how much you work hard to get it. Saala even luck works when you work. So stop caring and start working.

P.S.- I know everyone knows it but I didnt!!, So don't post painful comments.

Secret of Happiness

There was a story I read in THE ALCHEMIST about how to find secret of happiness and I find it worth sharing:

"A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. His son wanders in the desert for forty days and finally reaches the beautiful castle on the of the mountain in which wisest man lived.

When the boy enters the main room room in the castle, instead of the wisest man he saw many people coming and going, an orchestra was playing soft music in the corner and a table covered with the delicious food. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for 2 hours to meet him.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy's explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn't have time just to explain and suggested him to look around the palace and return in two hours. Meanwhile i want you to do one thing handing the boy a tea spoon with two drops of oil in it and said 'As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.'

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping the eye fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

the wise asked the boy that did he saw this n that(beautiful things in the castle), on this the boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

Then the wise told him to go back and again observe the marvels of my world. he said 'You cannot trust a man if you don't know his house.'

The boy took the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all the works. He saw everything this time and told about everything he saw in detail this time. Then the wise man asked 'But where are the drops of oil I entrusted you?'

Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that oil was gone. On that the wisest man said " 'Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you. The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.' "

Rocky

I like to watch movies, actually I love to watch movies. And I like to watch series (like lotr 1, 2&3) and romantic comedies, I have just finished watching Rocky (not all in one go but in last 5-6 days) n I have become a fan of Sylvester Stallone. This guy rocks!!!



He made the rocky character so calm n composed out of the ring n a rock hard guy in the ring, who you can not knock down no matter how strong is your punch because he will take it n stand back. And even after that he will punch you real hard. He is simple and strong. The songs are also great. He gave the series very good ending with rocky balboa.

May be you will say that its just a movie but he worked very hard for the movie, he build his body according to what was needed for the character even at the age of 61. These lines from the movie are really good “If I can change then you can change, everybody can change” and this one when his son was blaming him for his (son’s) failure “The world is not all sunshine n rainbows. It’s a very mean n nasty place. I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you permanently there if you let it. You Me are no body. Its gonna hit as hard as life. Its not about how hard you get hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take n keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now If you know what you worth then go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be worth to take the hits and not pointing your fingers and say you are not what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that are not you.”
