If Cricket is a religion...
Sachin Tendulkar !! What a man he is. I am no different from any of the million fellows who are in love with him. One of the advantages of a large population is that you tend to have a high probability of a great person being born. Now don't take it seriously and start reproducing. After all great persons are made not born.

Who else other than the greatest Sachin could play cricket for over sixteen years and remain the very best. You don't have to see his better knocks to say he is great. I mean just seeing his batting titillates you. Even if he scores a run there is bit of finish to it.The flourish in his cover drive is just pure poetry in motion . The pull gets you a feel of watching a rock video. And you don't need food, his straight drive makes you feel as satisfied as you would have felt after eating a three course meal. I am not kidding. Try it yourself.I'll tell you some of the greatest moments in his and indian crickets history.

The first moment of glory was when Sir Donald Bradman the greatest ( if you don't know who he is go away and do something worthwhile) acknowledged Tendulkar to be of his class. If you don't find this comment good enough then you are doing injustice. The next thing that comes to every ones mind are the twin knocks in sharjah . If you had watched the match you would know its speciality. Tony Grieg was at the peak of his commenting career and he was so excited that he could hardly shut up.." What a player! What a wonderful player!!", he kept shouting .

The commitment is amazing.When there was a dust storm in the field everyone left the field yet sachin remained. He was determined to finish the match come what may.

I'll finish with a few qoutes that were going around

"If cricket is a religion Sachin is its God"-crowd

"Sachin is India and India is Sachin"- crowd chant( Sachin was not even playing the match!)

"Luckly we have God batting for in four down to save us!"-crowd(when India was lost four wickets cheaply

"I haven't watched myslf bat. But I feel that Sachin's batting resembles closely my style"-Don Bradman

"If you are having lunch, you might as well throw your plates and get here"-Ravi Shashtri when Sachin hit a six of Caddick

"Because he is Sachin"-India Today in describing its youth icon

Hello everyone! This is my first blog of sorts. To tell you about myself.. I'm just one of those guys you see and never believe they still exist. Now don't take a rash decision that i am a prehistoric nincompoop. I mean the charming, great, ultimate all-in-one fellows the sight of whom titillates and rejuvenates you. (What! You guys don't believe me??? Shit! I thought it would work!)

I have been reading blogs for quite a while now. I feel that with the addition of photos and sounds into the blog we find its quality slightly diminished. Why is that so? because half the bloggers are in fact not bloggers. I am not confusing you. The thing is most of them just post a couple of photos or a music video.. Something original is what is required here..
We can probably rectify it by keeping seperate blog domains for mobile,podcasts and so on.
In addition to improving the quality of blogging it will also help keep the greatest written blog still valid and afloat.

With the world cup over the cricket craze has finally come to a temporary halt ( of course some Indians had left watching cricket long ago as they found destroying cricketer's images and their houses the more ' in thing ' ) . Some politicians are even thinking of banning cricket-howzzat??

Enough of cricket for the moment. Moving on to fame studded cinema industry. Finally the marriage of abhishek and aishwarya is over, what with a girl claiming she had already married abhishek and what not! All these girls make detailed plans i guess. How else do you hope to find one exactly at the time of marriage??? Apart from these there are several links and datings going on(as usual). So one might get bored if i don't move on.


That's it for today folks! This was just an introductory blog for me to keep myself abreast of this new world of blogging. My upcoming blogs will not be as boring as this!
So long amigos!
