Sachin Tendulkar leaves with stirring speech.

Sachin Tendulkar's emotional message:

"Friends please settle down, I'll get more emotional! It's hard to believe my wonderful journey is coming to an end. I've a list of names to thank. The first is my father, who passed away in 1999. Without his guida
nce I wouldn't be standing in front of you. he said 'chase your dreams, don't give up, the path will be difficult.' I miss him today. My mom, I don't know how she managed a naughty child like me. She just prayed and prayed from the day I started playing the game. For four years I stayed with my uncle and aunt when in school, they treated me like their own son. My eldest brother Nitin doesn't like to talk ,much but he said, whatever you do, I know you will give 100%. My first cricket bat was presented to me by my sister Savita. She still continues to fast while I bat. Ajit my brother - We have lived this dream together, he sacrificed his career for me, he took me to Achrekar sir first. Even last night he called me to discuss my dismissal. Even when I'm not playing we will still be discussing technique. If that hadn't happened, I would have been a lesser cricketer.
"The most beautiful thing happened to me when I met Anjali in 1990. I know that being a doctor there was a big career in front of her. But she decides that I should continue playing and she took care of the children. Thanks for bearing with me for all the nonsense I've said (Anjali wipes tears). Then the two precious diamonds of my life Sara and Arjun. I've missed out on several birthdays, holidays. I know for 14-16 years I've not spent enough time with you. But I promise you I will spend the next 16.
"My inlaws - I've discussed several things with them. The most important thing they did was allow me to marry Anjali. In the last 24 years my friends have made terrific contributions. They have been with me while I was stressed. They have been with me even at 3am when I was injured. Thanks for being there for me.
"My career started when I was 11. I was extremely delighted to see Achrekar sir in the stands. I used to ride on his scooter and play two matches a day. Sir took me along to make sure I played. On a lighter note, Sir never said 'well played' because he didn't want me to be complacent. You can push your luck now, Sir, since I'm not playing cricker anymore.
"I started my career here in Mumbai. I remember landing from NZ at 4am and playing a Ranji game the next day. The BCCI was fantastic from my debut. Thanks to the selectors. You were right with me making sure my treatment was taken care of.
"Thanks to all the senior cricketers who have played with me. We see on the screen Rahul, VVS, Sourav, Anil who is not here. All the coaches. I know when MS presented the 200th Test cap, I had a message to the team - I said we are all so proud to be representing the nation. I hope to continue to serve the nation with dignity. I have full faith that you will serve the country in the right spirit.
I will be failing in my duty if I didn't thank the doctors who have kept me fit. Given the injuries I have suffered. They have treated me in odd hours.
My dear friend the late Mark Mascarenhas. I miss him. My current management team WSG, for continuing what Mark has done. Someone who has worked closely with me for 14 years is my friend Vinay Nayudu.
"The media has backed me a lot, since my school days. Even today. Thank you. Thanks to the photographers for capturing those moments.
"I know my speech has become long. I want to thank people who have flown in from different parts of the world. I want to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. "Sachin, Sachin" will reverberate in my years till I stop breathing." (Followed by loud cheers).
The crowd wants more. Sachin has handed back the mic. We haven't seen the last of him here surely.
Sudhir Kumar Gautam, by far his biggest fan, waves the tri-colour. Sachin may not have mentioned his name, but he holds a special place in his heart, you can be sure.
Sachin gets together for a huddle with his family. I'm sure he is preparing for a lap of honour around Wankhede.
And the walk start. Sachin waves the tricolour, his wife and kids next to him and his team-mates behind. It's a leisurely walk but the photographers are clamoring in front of him. It's an army.
Now the special moment. Kohli and Dhoni haul him up on their shoulders! He continues to wave the flag. Memories of April 2, 2011, when India lifted the World Cup right here at the Wankhede.
The entourage slowly complete the lap. The chants of "Saachiin Saachiin" will never cease.
The lap's done. Sachin's back on his feet. People surround him. If you look closely, somewhere in the middle you might spot him. Small in stature maybe, but he has the cricket world at his feet now.
He walks across to the pitch and bends and touches it, one last time.

Issue

Yesterday I had an argument with my friends about social issues like the plight of women, homosexuality, human rights, and the like. Eventually they all shut my liberal ideas down by saying that "This is India, you can't change anything here." Now I would like to tell everyone that "NO", a line has to be drawn, we have to stop this madness somewhere. If anyone is asking for rights, give them. Treat everyone equally. Do not hate people for being different. As long as anyone is not infringing the rights of others, they should be left alone, and not told to what to do. Hereby I want you guys to know that liberty is everyone's right, and whoever is oppressed I will stand against the oppression. Now I see the point of being an extremist liberal, I would not tolerate any of your stupidity, because you are too stupid to understand that world needs to be free. Stop boasting of your past, because times have changed, and your so called "culture" has gotten stagnant. Wasting billions of rupees for things which we would never get (The donations for religious stuff and all). I know many bloggers will comment here and try to be badass and get pops, people grow up, world'd on fire and you are humans not animals, behave like humans. And yes this might not sound like a confession because it isn't. It is a war cry against oppression and stupidity. Anyone can make a difference. You don't need to go on streets and disrupt lives of others. As Gandhi said, "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."

Happy Birthday Sachin !

Adjectives are at a dearth when it comes to describing Sachin Tendulkar.
Throughout his 23-year-old career, Tendulkar the batsman has been admired, but, yet, one cannot help but admire the humility of the master blaster off the field as well.

The ‘Master Blaster’ who turned 40 on Wednesday, made an appearance in front of the media for a cake cutting ceremony and took the opportunity to thank his fans and well wishers for the unconditional love they have showered on him till date.


“First of all thank you very much to all of you for this gesture. It is really touching. I was just walking to get here and met Anil Kumble along the way who wished me Happy Birthday and said, “Don’t worry Forty is only a number. That is very relieving,” said Tendulkar as he was all smiles addressing the press here in Kolkata.


“I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people of India and all across the world who are well wishers of mine, who have supported me throughout and showered their unconditional love for me over the last 23 years. It has been really special and because of the good wishes and prayers, I am standing here in front of you after 23 years. It has been my strength. I thought this was the best opportunity to come here and thank each and every one of them for every little thing that they have done for me,” added a humble Sachin.


The master blaster also expressed gratitude to the billions of fans who have stood by him like a spine through the ups and downs of his glorious career.
“There have been various people who have made various sacrifices for me, have gone on a fast and all those kind of things when I was injured. I just want to say ‘Thank You’ to all, which I believe is not enough. I would have personally liked to meet them and thank them, but it is not possible, so I thought this is the best forum from where I can reach out to most of them and give my thanks.”

Sachin more than obliged to pose for the shutterbugs and cater to the needs of the other media personnel. One of them even asked his wife; Anjali Tendulkar to join Sachin and offer him a piece of cake. “ Abhi Muh pe lagane nahi bolna ! (Now don’t ask her to put some cake on my face),” chirped Tendulkar as he showed his funny side as well.


Those around just could not walk back without a smile on their face, whatever the circumstance, however small the interaction, with ‘The Legend’.

Why does she love me ?

She likes me but doesn't wanna be with me..
She cares for me but ends up hurting me..
She wants me to be happy but gives me a reason to be sad..
When I walk away, she keeps chasing me..
When I want her to leave me alone, she is always there for me..
Yeah, she loves me but she knows she can never be with me..
Why does she Love me when she doesn't wanna be with me..

A Touching Story For Married People..

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders. Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restles...sness . I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love. One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.


“Why?” he asked, shocked. “I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!” I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times.


My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can’t even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And finally he asked me:” What can I do to change your mind?” Somebody said it right, it’s hard to change a person’s personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.


Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : “Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let’s say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?” He said :” I will give you your answer tomorrow….” My hopes just sank by listening to his response.


I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes….


My dear, “I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further..” This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading. “When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.


You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way.


You always have the cramps whenever your “good friend” approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.


You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand… and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face…


Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do… I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. ” My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting… and as I continue on reading…


“Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk…


I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread…. Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone…


That’s life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.


Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands… and that’s our life… Love, not words win arguments..
