You cant be BUSY always!!

I am sure many of you might have heard or read this story..I heard this story from my dad first and then from one of my friends... Its an amazingly simple story but with a lot of depth in it.. We all think that we are the busiest people in this world and have absolutely no time to do anything that is not related to work... But......

An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says, 'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!'
'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams. 'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says. 'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in HongKong and tell her! Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. 'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'
She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for
our anniversary and paying their own airfare!!'  
MORAL:
 
No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days. The sky is not going to fall if you take few days LEAVE and meet your loved ones.
OFFICE WORK IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE and Making MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
Parents are your well wishers and need your love and emotional support. Do not forget what ever you are today is only because of your parents who want nothing but the best for their child/children.
Finally
Thanks mom n dad!! Love u lots.. :)

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..

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!!!!!!
