Off I go

On vacation for the next 3 weeks :-) Hoping to laze around and read lots of books.

Sachinic

That should be a new word in the dictionary. And it should stand for what we all know the man for. Unwavering commitment and passion towards what he loves and striving for excellence despite being the best ever. When I think about this man, I just cannot imagine how he is doing it. In the past 21 years, I have changed. My life has changed. From a schoolboy, I have become the father of a boy now. My family has changed. My town has changed. The city in which I now live has changed. My state has changed. My country has changed. The world has changed. The planet has changed and the entire universe would have changed. But one thing hasn't. And that is Sachin Tendulkar walking out to bat for India and scoring runs by the tons. What can be said about that man? I wish he would outlast all the so called young guns and play for another 20 years

Hats off to Sirivennela/Sankar Mahadevan

Shame couldn't make out a few words even after listening for a million times. Wonder where this song occurs in the movie and how it is shot and how I never came across this song till now

My dream, fulfilled

I had always wanted the record for highest individual score to be in the name of Sachin Tendulkar. Finally, that happened today. Wow what a man. He's not just great. He's the greatest. He's not one of the best batsmen in world cricket. He's the best batsman. The man no longer needs to pursue the records. The records pursue the man.
