Lets start again . So here I've been tagged by pavan . I'm taking liberties to modify the tag to Pick Some - Kick Some ..which some people will recognize as an oooooooooooold idea of mine that has been dragged about the net for a while..But what the heck.It hasn't been to my blog yet.

My Picks

* Ofcourse cricket and Music
* Every inch of Sachin
* Sai baba temples where it is very serene and calm
* Formula 1
* Long walks (unless its a crowded Abids bylane .God forbid!) , long drives and all that jazz [Remember here .. I'd rather be alone than bored]
* Surprises
* Mathematics
* FedEx, Rehman
* Giving non-bday gifts
* Travelling ! ( Any form of travelling ....Even a bus trip to local Monda market counts.I'm kidding here..but you get the picture ..)

* Mails from long lost friends [Ever notice how the longlost aquaintances are remembered as friends while current friends remain aquiantances ? until they become longlost ofcourse .]
* While we are on that topic..Friends who dont mind my not initiating-keeping-in-touch.[This one is actually a trap]
* Doing nothing [By now..I'm the resident expert.]

Sachin - The Living Legend

A King is a King, No one should testify his presence, neither can they, I suppose. Yes, I am taking "SACHIN". He does not need to bother for his critics. His Bat does the talking every time and leaves everything behind. He is arguably THE BEST Batsman in the World today. Every one is making a hue and cry, that its time he retires, and he is not the Sachin of old whom we have known for all the time, actually speaking there was no change in neither him nor his batting only thing that has changed are the peoples expectations of him, He has single handedly won matches in Australia now, Every one who said he does not play well in crucial finals and more specially when India is chasing, had to put their foot in mouth. He returned home as the second highest scorer in ODIs, His contributions in Tests were also commendable, The records that Sachin had set straight while on his journey in leading India to victories on numerous matches speak on their own. He can be compared to none not even to the likes of Lara or Ponting. He is a virtuoso. As a die hard fan of his, I feel he is one of the priceless gems that India has ever produced, I am really proud as an Indian. British media and official consortium also gave a statement to honor Sachin by bestowing up on him the honorary three letter word "SIR" which marks the knighthood in sports, ( Sir Garry Sobers, Sir Don Bradman, Sir Jack hobes and Sir Vivian Richards were the only four to have been given the Knighthood earlier ), I admit that he has not been as attacking as he used to be in his earlier days of his carrier, but now he plays according to the situation of the game and seems to be a more matured person on the ground to whom all the younger players in the team can look up to any time. He is admittedly the God of Indian cricket, let leave all those who try to find fault with his batting skills, there is nothing like form which he looses, its just a bad patch that he would have been traveling on the days when he could not score for his country. Tendulkar may nurture his genius or spurn it, the responsibility of greatness lies with him. It seems he understands that. He is surer now than before, less driven to petulant strokes or rakish indiscretion. The two ODIs in Australia in the 3 match finals because of which India romped home with a fabulous and eventful victory were just a reminder, a page from a book, that this is a batsman who was conceived under God's full attention. Imagine, what greater deeds remain, the other pages of that book are yet to be turned. He always maintained, that he never played for records, they just came as he played along and a victory for the team meant more than a century for him, and so dis I feel, he is so sober. and that is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar admired by millions Oops ! Billions around the world for you. Take a Bow !
