Sachin Tendulkar... My God

"Cricket is my religion and Sachin Tendulkar is my God." A famous one-liner we have heard for many years.

I was in office when someone screamed he is on 182 and he stands a good chance of beating his previous record and the world record maybe.

I logged in to the live coverage on one of the popular websites and witnessed him scale his highest score. A few more minutes and he was waving to the scores of Anwar as they were history and out of the record books. A colleague called me and asked me to accompany him to a showroom close by to view history being made.

It was 6PM and my colleague had an important client call and as we were running down the steps he said that even a client can wait for this. just outside the office, we saw some people gather around a barber shop. We ran in to find a sweet spot.

A 14" TV and a room not bigger than 5 by 8. We were 20 people and the volume was loud. It felt that i maybe at the stadium. Dhoni not giving Tendulkar strike was frustrating for a while but he finally gave the man his bit. I looked around and saw fingers crossed, knuckles cracked and feet restless.

199 was the score and he needed 1 to make history. I was thinking at that very moment, who do i pray to? Tendulkar was my God and he was at 199, who do i pray to for him to reach 200? By the time my mind could race for an answer, he tapped the ball to cover and took the single to make history. i could breath again...

His success comes from being humble. I wish we all learn that from him.

Long live Tendulkar....

Body and Mind is demanding a Break

Have you felt that you have had enough of the worldly chaos, noise and necessities? Well, if you are, then its time you join the boat.

Its that time when your boss starts to look like a monster and work looks like a jail with all people around looking like Institutionalized beings (Shaw-shank Redemption.

The body says, why are you trying to wake up in the mroning and hit the road to office, just lay a while more in bed... The mind says, am i really needed at work and for the numerous meetings ahead.

I need the wilderness for a while. The thought of spending time with the greenery and noise of insects is prominent in my dreams and the boring meetings. What should one do for these things? Breaks cant be too affordable every 4 months... Then how does one satisfy his mind and body... maybe a trip to the spa would help...

I dont know... But i am totally messed up right now.

...Peace...

Sambhar-Rice....

Isn't it is difficult to try and forget people. We go on trying and pretending to not actually think about them and we do a good job at it, most of the time.

But then just a small instance brings back all the memories and floods your head with thoughts and heart with emotions. Then you become worried, nostalgic and happy at the same time. In short, your Mind-F*#$ed....

We make lives so complicated for ourselves and we pretend to think that things are going as planned...

Sambhar-Rice over dinner last night triggered these thoughts in my mind
