17 years of batting and Not Out Forever- Tendulkar.

I don’t idolize human beings, hence I do not have role models; but I do idiolise characteristics and choose to pick up the best from the best.
However, these theories of mine take a break when it comes to one individual whom I look up to and who to me, is above all the media measurement antics!

To me, he has always been and will always be- The Sachin Tendulkar.

My craze for him started like most of us during the early 90’s when Indian Cricket meant Sachin Tendulkar; and I loved him simply because….how could you not?!…all at home did, so me too.

Over the years, this craze has transformed into respect and admiration, which goes beyond runs and statistics. I don’t watch cricket anymore, but I watch Sachin play; to me it gives peace to believe that there is this individual who has identified his passion and followed it relentlessly for 17 years.

Today Sachin Tendulkar to me is not a mere cricketer but a man who has ducked the most filthy controversies that were bowled at him, who has patiently played out the long spells of humiliation that were delivered to him by the media and so called fans, and has continued to smash those boundaries of respect and humility towards all the so-called dignitaries and statesmen of our society, compelling even the most sort after cynics to accept in the fine gullies of their heart that- "boss, bandhe mein kucht toh hai!"

Thanks Sachin for being the sportsman you have been, I wish for you a healthy life here after and yes I know…a world cup win!

News u can use TO News that can AMUSE!!

...Thats the road travelled by our journalist in todays times.
Definitions:
News(supposed to b): Reporting of facts.
News(as of today): Entertaining, Gripping, Thrilling, Dramatising, Hidden cams....

Breaking News(Supposed to be): Very Very Important News.
Breaking News(as of today): The news that appears between commercial breaks!!

Too much of nothing is good- my dad often tells me and i wish with all my heart that the media channels cud hear him.
I have given into the fact that this is a media age, people's accesibility to information has increased and hence it is the responsibility of this media to make sure they dish out the right information...is it happening?
Lets take a very analytical approach:
"Certain Celebrities need security"-as citizens we might like to know this news, alrite, but is this item so important as to take 10 minutes of every half an hour on every news channel, can't it appear as a scroll?
"Certain Celebrity has two wives"- has it changed our lives?
"A boy was trapped in a pit and was rescued"- unprecedented coverage-state of the art graphics- cud not some time be alloted to knowing whose carelessness caused all this trouble or for that matter the importance of safety at such places?
These are just a few and top of the head events, u know for yourself how many more unwarranted events have been forced upon us. I believe the fact that economics matter and i respect competition and thats why i am for the concept of INFOTAINMENT.
Put in a pinch of prioritisation and a teaspoon of creativity and what you have is News you can use with TRP's intact!
Give a thought to satisfying the right need rather than going for speed!

Who am i...the games my mind plays.

Who am I?

How long does it take to know a person?
For the past 21 years I have been trying the same.
Though I spend all my time with him,
All I’m sure off-is his name!

He tells me everything that happens to him,
I know everything that he does.
I feel I’m blessed to have him with me,
But at times I think he is a curse!

I have seen him laugh,
I have seen him cry,
I have seen him give up,
And I have seen him try.

I was around when he had the taste of success,
I was there when failure made its call,
I saw him exalted to all time highs
And I was there when he had his fall

He’ll surprise u with his positive exuberance
And then there is none other like him,
But u’ll also find him making a hill of a mole.
With negativity filled upto the brim.

Who is he truly then?
A person good or bad,
Which side is the fictitious one?
Will I ever understand?

However, I don’t think I am trying anymore,
For what purpose wud it achieve
We came together in one body one soul,
And together we will leave.

From him however I have learnt
That one should not judge anyone,
For if I cant understand him after all these years,
I’ll certainly understand none!
