Unlike many others, life had very few happiness in store for me during my childhood days, my grand mother's affection, dreams of my fantasy land while being awake and finally Sachin (not just his batting). For the past 16 years he has been a part of my life. There is a psychological concept called as CWS. The expansion of it is Celebrity Worshiping Syndrome, there are three levels in it, I might as well suffer the third level (the intense one). The intense-personal aspect of celebrity worship reflects intensive and compulsive feelings about the celebrity, akin to the obsessional tendencies of fans often referred to in the literature; for example “I share with my favorite celebrity a special bond that cannot be described in words” and “When something bad happens to my favorite celebrity I feel like it happened to me’”. I seriously doubted this, so did lot of research about this concept and to find out If I am really mentally sick. The levels of attachment... details >>>

Shiva, to me he is my father, mentor, guru and friend. It has been a fashion lately among people to criticize religions and Hindu deities in India. So am I going to write anything against them? Tell them Hinduism is better than and list out the reasons? Nopes, I have much better work to do. Religion is something that man should give up immediately. If there were so called Gods, then will they lose their sleep over the increase in followers for their competitors or dwindling support for them? Nopes, while few of them like Buddha, ancient rishis and Jesus lived on earth, many or mythical and they are more to do with beliefs. Buddha, a great soul preached commoners what enlightenment is and he wanted everyone to attain gyan. Was he successful? The biggest massacres happened in countries ruled by buddhists, Myanmar, Lanka and so on. Jesus is a personality beyond compare, he gave direction of millions of people nearly 3 centuries after he was crucified. The truth... details >>>

"The young South African has shown he has the right stuff to take over from Ponting when the time comes." - Ian Chappel. "Ricky Ponting has long been considered the master of the willow wielders. He attained this lofty status even with the presence of Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, both of whom vied for the title from the days when the young Australian was only a glint in the eye of Academy head coach Rod Marsh. Judging by the cool approach and precise shot-making of Cape Cobras' JP Duminy in the opening Champions League match, he's the young batsman most likely to usurp Ponting's title." - Ian Chappel. Last time when sachin failed in two matches in the world cup(2007),  out came the waiting vultures to rip the already injured hero of his remaining flesh. It is often said, vultures don't differentiate between a lion or a lamb when they are injured badly. The same happened with Sachin, he was already hurt with the india's early exit from the... details >>>

This one was a very old article of mine, I wrote this just after the 2007 world cup and when Ian Chappel declared that Sachin is no more a good player and he should hang his boots, In an article for cricinfo titled.  "Mirror Mirror Answer me."

Money, what a beautiful thing? Ugly as well. Ugly??? I got to be kidding.  No. It is not just Ugly, but it is the mother of all evils. I may sound philosophical. What good it is being philosophical if there is no rationale behind your words? My view is completely rational as well. How? The nature has given every resource in abundance to us. More that what we would ever need. Have you ever seen an animal die of hunger in forest? Look at everything around, the nature takes care of every living being. People did not eat rats to live like what is happening in Andhra and Tamil Nadu in India. People did not die out of hunger like it is in Chad and Somalia. Even today, there is surplus of food, and food wasted everywhere around the world. The wasted food per day is much more than the average calorie requirements of all the poor across the globe. The speculators, and people in the commodity market play with the commodities and quite a few times, these commodities... details >>>
