I wish I could.....

I wish I could go back in time...

Change something that sent chill through my spine..

The horror of death and the loss of the brave...

The act of a Coward from the brain of a naive..

I wish I could stand next to them...

Averting the bullets and protect Mumbai's gem...

How easy it is to destroy something....

Want to tell them, have you tried building anything??

I wish I could cry out loud...

I wont, I shouldnt..

Because I hope there is a silver lining on every dark cloud...

26/11 remains a dark memory....

An Indian will never forget it...

Although it is history....

I wish I could...................... but I WONT!! 


- To all those who think that India forgets and Forgive easily...NO! we dont..

- Karan.

An Immortal Personality!!

I had a tough time selecting this title.. Its like all the adjectives, superlatives have been used for this great man. But still, I managed to use one which not many have used. For many he is Indian Cricket Team since yrs now, for me he is GOD of Cricket. Today, the great man has finished 20 yrs in the sport that he loves. I am not going to give any prizes for guessing whom I am talking about. It is the only one.... SACHIN TENDULKAR.

Many people say Indian names are difficult to say. But is TENDULKAR a difficult name? Well yes it is.. It is very difficult for SHANE WARNE of 1998 Sharjah, it is very difficult for SHOAIB AKHTAR of 2003 World Cup, it is very difficult for ANDREW CADDICK of the same World Cup 2003 (Man I still cant take off that six he hit to Akhtar and Caddick out of mind.. Can u ??) and the list goes on and on. I have been in this world since 1985. As far as I can remember the oldest and clearest memory of a Sachin innings in my mind is World Cup 1996 for me. Sachin is probably the only thing I remember from that World cup! :) 

Why is he unique? Why is he special? Well this is not a brain drain question given to an IIT student. Its a simple question. He is special because he can single handedly make more than 1 billion smile or cry with JOY! Sometimes I think, what does this man do? He plays cricket..  Who doesnt? He hits sixes, fours scores hundreds.... Who doesnt? But what one thing that he does and I am sure no one can do is.. Giving hope and making sure he fulfills it! Hope is something that you need if you have to get out a dark tunnel.. Hope to see light.. He is that hope for us. 

Its amazing...Sometimes when I have had an awful day and if Sachin is batting and India is winning (which is an obvious thing an Indian will think of! If sachin bats India Wins...) I just forget totally about whatever happened for the past 20 hours or so!! Thats why he is SPECIAL for me. People talk about his strokes on the off side, on the leg side.. I just love the way he strokes away the hope from the opposite team!! ;) I am really proud of been an Indian.. There are just 2 reasons for it.. 1. India itself! 2. Sachin Tendulkar. God forbid.. if Sachin wasnt an Indian I am sure he wouldnt have been this great.. Well my selfishness might be a reason why I said this.. But come to think of it.. Great Players are Great because of the situations they are put in. Sachin is great because he has to make 1 billion people happy!! Thats not easy!!!!! 

20 yrs.. 2 decades.. thousands of runs.. and still going on.. and on... Has he had a great cricket life?  Ask him and he will say Hell YEAH!! His love always was and is and will be India.. then Cricket... and then the rest..Even today when in so many interviews that he gives, he tells that his most prized moment was, "The Day When I wore the TRICOLOR first time on my helmet!" But still there are many people who think he plays for records.. blah blah blah... Sachin is special because he has thousands of families.. when all of us have just one. This is where I justify the title IMMORTAL. Only Immortal people can be loved this much. 

Sachin, today wants to win a WORLD CUP for India. Thats his primary goal and by many writers his final frontier. I would jump shout cry as I always do.. if India wins this world cup with Sachin in the team. That would be the best day in my life.

I really really am sorry for other cricketing nations...BECAUSE Sachin is India.. and India is Sachin.. 

I wish him all the success.. The master should continue for as many yrs as he likes!! I will always shout when Sachin hits a four or a six! He is and will be the best!!!!!!
