God comes after him, in Cricket !!

Here comes a day in International Cricket, double century in ODI and that too from a man who was never short of any records, any fame, any name. He had already conquered Everest in his cricketing career but still he has the same hunger, love, passion which he had 2 decades ago. What a man!!! What a character!!! What an Idol!!!

While writing this I have goose bums all over my body!! I am glazing my pc screen from almost last 30 mins with hundreds of thoughts, millions of words and struggling to put arrays of words to capture a great maestro. He is definitely beyond the words of any one on this planet.

He seems to me greater than cricket, greater than life itself. I am not one who will going to say what he has done was good, what he needs to do now, what next… I am not capable of saying that but what I read from him is that how he has done that!! Can you imagine that he had stopped whole country billions of people from breathing air while moving from 199 to 200. It required some miracle to achieve what he has achieved so far in the reality. Even world’s most prominent politician also is not capable to achieve that. In the finest of analysis I really feel that he is one of the avatar of lord Krishna!!

“Success is a journey, Not a destiny” Sachin Tendulkar. Yes Indeed success is a journey. It all start with your dream, passion, love, dedication, perseverance. As it shown by him, numbers of feathers getting attached on his head, he is getting that much more humble, down to earth person. He was already a legend, he was already a cricketing God. He had more records than any one on this planet; I could go on and on. He has it all; maybe he always had.

It takes a real character to keep your childhood dream going. He has to nurtured his career in a such manner resembling the master act on its life. He always took the utmost care to keep himself away from all the controversies. Sometimes he just gives answer to everyone without any words. This is what makes him different from almost all around this world!! Take a bow man!!

As said by some saints, “Success stays with the person who has a same level of gratitude to keep his/her feet on the ground”. And he has done that. Just imagine what it takes to keep feet on the ground with the amount of fame/name/success he has!! Kudos to you man!! Best of example I can give here is the Tendulkar trademark to look up to the heavens and thank someone up there for yet another milestone.

Doubtless, each one of the celestial fans, ranging from his father to Bradman, and a whole lot of others would have been standing and applauding an epic. Legends by their nature dominate the sport they take to. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Pele. The list could go on. But seldom has there been one, who has been pristinely clean. And to me, nothing would devastate me more than if I found something ‘not right’ about Tendulkar. May that day never come.

There is lot more to learn from him not in a cricket field but also on the day to day life!! He is the benchmark of the success, inspiration for many generation going to come on this earth.

Circus of Thoughts !!

It has been learning day for me. Learning should not be always in the form of “things you do” but it can be also in the form of “things you should not do”.

Some times you have to see things which are not correct around yourself and you should abide yourself for doing those mistakes in your foresee future. Life itself is a great teacher. It keeps on throwing live examples of mistakes people do around yourself. You just need a common sense to see all those mistakes and to learn not to do those mistakes. Now talking about common sense which is not so common around yourself.

Sense of being right is always differ from person to person. It seems to be right for doing certain things to someone but actually it is wrong if you see yourself without being bias to the situation. But it has been human tendency to adjust himself with the situation and doing things which is not correct in any form of culture or tradition.

Yesterday I learnt 3 things we should know in our life to live simple happy life.

• You should not over run your cost more than your income, you will be in deep debt soon if you don’t know how to generate more income thereafter
• Respect your family most than others, it helps you to regain your self dignity and ambience level
• Look after your health first, it helps you to make people happy around yourself

Love your life, live your life its only one life you have very few lucky people get other life to live :)

What do you do when . . .

you are just been running out of things to say

but i'm having one of those down days again, just wishing there was someone there, someone to lean on, someone to listen me, someone to hold your hand and say i am there.......

Conversation with Autowala

There was something happened today, that really touched me in fact that made me feel compelled to share it with all of you guys. There are some good people around you and when you find someone good unexpectedly you start wondering about that person!!

I missed my bus today in the morning so I had to catch the train and get down to one of the suburban station of the Mumbai and had to catch auto for reaching office on time. And suddenly that Autowala decided to strike up a conversation with me. Normally, I don't really like to talk with all those people because usually when I do travelling I like to be in my thoughts of wonderland but as he chattered away, I found myself admiring the attitude of this Autowala.

It all started when I told him where I wanted to go, and he quickly confirmed my destination and my urgency to reach over there by giving me the names of all the streets and the landmarks that were close by. He then told me that it's really important for him as a Autowala to know all the areas of suburban's very well, so that he knows exactly where to take his customers when they get into his auto.

He said that you can't depend on the people to know how to get to where they want to go, which is what Autowala are for. On and on he went, talking about all the places he has driven to already that day, even though it was only 10 in the morning. As I was a part of conversation, I casually remarked that he must have a good day since he had so much business. Then he replied, sometimes I have good days, and sometimes I have bad days. But in the end, it all evens out, and I guess that's pretty much all I can ask for. I nodded in agreement with the strangely deep philosophy behind that statement; I was just amazed with the optimism of that Autowala.

He didn't stop over there, he said "You know, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of job you're doing, but you still need to do your very best. It's your responsibility. Just like hoe it's my responsibility as a Autowala to know all the roads. Might not mean so much to some people, but it helps."

I reached my destination and I paid his fare but my mind still hovering around that Autowala. He just made me understand the meaning of the word RESPONSIBILITY.

Whether it is related to your work, family, friends or social but you need to understand your responsibility. Kudos to you man, Autowala.

Thanks for giving me such a brief, yet so important lesson in a 10 min auto ride.

Hindi Movies, Coming Up in 2010

1. My Name is Khan

Rahul and Anjali are back! Okay, only this time in far more serious skin than ever.

Nothing less than the world is expected from the magical troika of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Karan Johar in My Name is Khan. As the title suggests, MNIK touches the topic of ethnic discrimination wherein SRK plays an individual with Asperger syndrome, residing in post 9/11 US.

2. Ramayana

Inspired from the copious Indian mythological epic, Ramayana, filmmaker Mani Ratnam brings his own vision and sensibilities to this wildly-anticipated interpretation.Considering the secrecy surrounding this project, simultaneously shot in Tamil, Raavan with its curious title and casting is expected to hit the marquee during the first quarter of 2010. Known to extract career-best performances from his actors, Raavan had a lot going for it.

Here's the rumoured lowdown: Abhishek Bachchan plays the title role avenging his sister's derision by Vikram, modelled after Lord Rama by abducting the latter's wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Sita. Supposedly, there's a masterful twist to it all, which we shall wait for Ratnam to reveal at his own accord. Until then, it's back to twiddling thumbs in excitement and wait.

3. Kites

Salsa on the rocks? Check. Steaming love scenes? Check. Super sexy cast? Check. No wonder, the buzz on Hrithik Roshan's Kites is hot.

After what seems like forever, director Anurag Basu's ambitious romantic thriller in Hindi, English and Spanish is all set to soar with its tale of blazing passions and nasty betrayals.

Roshan (in his Jesus Christ Superstar-inspired avatar) and his gorgeous Mexican co-star Barbara Mori play two intense, star-crossed lovers striving to make it against all odds. Their explosive chemistry is already talk-of-the-town. Kangna Ranaut completes this puzzling triangle.

4. Rann

In his latest, Rann he takes on the media and its existing strategy of substituting sensationalism in place of news. It's topical, yes. So far, however, the entire 'Breaking News' lunacy has been more of a sloppy gimmick than a point of debate in our movies. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see Varma's take on a medium he enjoys a bittersweet relationship with.

Rann has previously attracted controversy for its distortion of the national anthem, Jana Gana Mana in the title song. Varma promptly replaced it with Vande Mataram. The ensemble cast led by Amitabh Bachchan, playing a fiercely ethical media baron, features Varma's usual suspects Sudeep, Ritesh Deshmukh, Suchitra Krishnamurthy and Rajpal Yadav along with Rajat Kapoor, Neetu Chandra, Gul Panag and Paresh Rawal.

5. Veer

Wanted goes period? If last year saw him beat the baddies like a flock of flies (casually, if you please), his new offering, Veer, a lavish-scale Salman Khan wagon coloured in the Anil Sharma School of filmmaking witnesses him do Conan in true blue Bollywood tradition of grandeur and disbelief.

Credited for its incredulous plot, the beefy superstar plays a brave warrior of some exotic tribe fighting the British for honour and all those Samurai-like qualities whilst hobnobbing with its pretty new-finds Zarine Khan and Lisa Lazarus.

6. Ishqiya

Ah well, Ishqiya isn't a Vishal Bhardwaj film. He's *only* written, composed and produced it while assistant Abhishek Chaubey calls the shots. It's easy to recognise the Bhardwaj stamp even as you get over the sheer audacity of its trailer.

Brilliance of blasphemy aside, Ishqiya takes its fabulous cast to places we had never thought we would see them go. And so you have a robber duo of lyrical Naseeruddin Shah and flaky Arshad Warsi give it up for the scheming, seductive hellcat in Vidya Balan.

Conventionally speaking, Ishqiya is not exactly a money-spinning prospect but given Bhardwaj's success with the offensive, it very well could be.

7. Rajneeti

When Prakash Jha nails it, he nails it good. And Rajneeti, with its wholesome line-up of actors -- Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgan, Ranbir Kapoor, Manoj Bajpai, Arjun Rampal and Katrina Kaif in her first serious assignment looks very, very interesting.

Influenced by the pages of Mahabharata, Jha explores the science of politics in the face of personal equations, in his under production slated for a May release. Earlier on, enthused by the intricate complexities evident in the epic saga, filmmaker Shyam Benegal set his Kalyug against the backdrop of warring industrialists.

8. Guzaarish

It's a creative circle. Hrithik Roshan creates unforgettable screen moments with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Aishwarya lights the soulful frames of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's imagery. Bhansali paints poetry with his uncontrollably lavish imagination. Just imagine what their collective combination will do?

It's quite simple, really. Either Guzaarish will become immortal in the pages of history. Or fade into nothingness like a wasted opportunity.

Few months into its announcement, Guzaarish has already generated terrific buzz. Rumoured to touch the topic of Euthanasia, the drama features Hrithik as a paraplegic patient and his unique relationship with a nurse, played by Ash. Stock those pack of tissues, folks. They will come in handy.

9. Main Azaad Hoon

'Itne baaju Itne sar, gin le dushman dhyan se. Harega woh har baazi, jab khelein hum jee jaan se.'

Remember Amitabh Bachchan's powerful baritone expounding the same to a spell-binding effect in Tinnu Anand's Main Azaad Hoon. Drawing its title from the same, Ashutosh Gowariker goes back in time to adapt Manini Chatterjee's novel, Do or Die, revolving around a revolutionary's initiation of the 1930 Chittagong Uprising.

His What's your Raashee? may have shook your faith in astrology but the usually durable filmmaker promises to bounce back with this patriotic fare starring Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. While Bachchan works well under a keen eye, let's see how Deepika evolves with Gowariker's stickler attitude.

10. Karthik Calling Karthik

There's something edgy about his films. Whether he's directing, producing or acting in them, there's always something original about his execution. Farhan Akhtar has earned this reputation quite early in his career. And that's why we are eyeing this queerly titled Karthik Calling Karthik with utmost interest.

As the press junket will tell you, Akhtar plays Karthik, a recluse-types in an extraordinary situation where his only hope is another guy called Karthik. Somewhere in these baffling scheme of things, fits in Deepika, a hip chain smoker in great need of rescuing herself.

It all sounds deliciously vague and intriguing. Directed by newbie, Vijay Lalwani, could Karthik Calling Karthik be that breakthrough film around the corner? We'll soon find out.

Akshay Kumar and Ash time-travel to the 1950s in Action Replay.

Imran Khan explores the grim side of the capital in Delhi Belly.

Kajol and Kareena Kapoor slips into the shoes of Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts in the official remake of Stepmom.

Strangers in the night, exchanging glances Ranbir Kapoor serenades Priyanka Chopra along these lines in Anjaana Anjaani.

John Abraham dials 1-800-Love to experience the conversation of a lifetime.

What do you do when . . .

people around you in office makes you laugh so much through out the day with their filmy dialouges . .
Kya baat kya baat kya baat . . :)

Khush to bahot honge aaj :))

what it is?? what it is?? what it is??

My New Experience

Here i go, after almost 4 yrs of being into same job finally i am into something new. New Job, office, people, feelings, excitements, everything is new except me J

Morning was as usual, but for me it was more brighter, air seems to be more cooler giving soothing effects and the smile with nervousness on my face was complimentary to all this. I looked couple of more time in the mirror I guess. Everything seems to be fine. I boarded into company bus soon it reminded me my sixth class school (last time i used my school bus) but only difference of perception of being professional but i am still school going child from my mind J

But soon all got vanished once i stepped into new office. Although it was not as much bigger as DAKC but still it was enough for me to look around with bigger eyes. But i was missing DAKC and will surely miss DAKC always.

10 odd people were joining along with me. I looked them sheepishly trying to gaze some good faces but was disappointed.J Even they were like me uncertainty and nervousness was clearly visible on their face but more than me J Had a friendship with the couple of guys. Both had something to teach me in fact now they are my lunch partner. . Hehe Thank you guys specially M.

2 days of induction program about CMMI level 5 company always have profound impact. I don't know as it was best but it was certainly better than my previous company and when you got to know about company and its culture very first two days of your joining, gives you unknown confidence. I felt it was structured rather than organized.

Finally I met with the people belongs to my IDU. My team members, colleagues, seniors all seems to be supportive and helpful but still long way to go. Will soon find some of the interesting characters J

It's now been week but I don't know what exactly I felt about my new company. It is good in fact better structured and defined than my previous organization. Even though I like my profile here but still it is not what I desire or I can say it is not what I dream of myself to be.

Well hope is all we can have for moving ahead in life and for me it's more like a 'fight' with my fate. I know what I want to be and this is just one stop for me, it is not everything for me. I wish I can soon move towards my dream.

Anyways one bad thing I found is that blog spot is blocked in my new office LL so less blogging and more work LL

Your Horoscope for 2010

From June till September, you will find yourself nudged towards broadening your horizons. As you climb yet another mountain, the view will be breathtaking and there in the distance will be another one that you'll want to climb next. Overall, the year's biggest surprise for you lies in discovering how much you can achieve when you put your mind to it.

Career
Those employed will find themselves ready to change jobs and will look for greener pastures by the end of the year. Fortunately, you will have a little more money to dabble in varied interests and also double your earnings as you turn expert in your chosen field.

For those involved in manufacture and trade, luxurious opportunities could arise through cultural activities and travel to exotic places. Three-way partnerships offered to some of you will be worth considering between August and September. Keep the faith, get your paperwork organised, do not leave space for any ambiguity and move ahead purposefully and peacefully.

Wealth
Though money inflow remains constant, expenditures will continue to increase, as the natural spendthrift in you would always want the very best money can buy. For many, your home will become the priority in August as you deal with renovations, travel and relocations. Study and research may take you to foreign lands in September. You will put your learning to best use. Purchasing your dream home is the perfect way you end your year, decorating and celebrating lavishly and happily.

In May, you will be the centre of attention and those who are single will find themselves having plenty of options to choose from. In October, family and friends will generally not be happy bunnies.

Travel
The majestic and royal Leos love to holiday in style. You don't like roughing it out on holidays like trekking or cycling, but instead want to be pampered. This year, you will stretch your budget to include luxury cruises or five-star stays. A holiday in the East is on the cards.

2010 Mission

One of the toughest challenges as you begin 2010 is to stay positive. Remember how the law of attraction works: Focusing on the negative will only attract the negative. You will have to work harder to put it into practice.
