And another .....

Hello everybody,

What a master class, another century, another milestone, a true legend, Sachin .......

Just read his achievement so far .....

Test matches:

Number of matches - 156

Runs scores - 12429

Highest score - 248 not out

Average - 54.27

100's - 41

50's - 51

One Day International:

Number of matches - 425

Runs scores - 16684

Highest score - 186 not out

Average - 44.37

100's - 43

50's - 91

Truly a master class. 

I was really confident of him scoring the first ever 200 by a batsman in ODI that other night against New Zealand, with the pace he was scoring with another 5 others to bowl, looked easy, but he had done enough, & i respect his decision for not pushing his body in danger of further damage & retiring hurt.

But as i m saying it again n again, what a master class of play.

Now the following is my dream:

I m watching the final of World Cup 2011 at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. India playing the final, (not worried who the opponent is) Sachin scores a century again, that should be his atleast 50th ODI hundred. India to win the match & the World Cup, Sachin's first & final world cup win, Sachin is the man of the match & the player of the tournament. What a dream finish!

Anyways, i m confident that my dream will come true.

Have a good day guys,

Cheers!

"Love & Marriage"

Hi Everybody,

How u all doin? I hope everyone is good, safe & surviving from the recent crunch thats affected the whole world.

Anyways, following post is an email forward to me by my school friend Asim Pereira, who is getting married on May 2, '2009. Its funny ..... Enjoy!

A student asked a teacher, "What is love?" 

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. 
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." 
The student went to the field, went thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wondered....may be there is a bigger one later. 
Then he saw another big one... but may be there is a bigger one waiting for him, he thought. 
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knows he has missed the biggest one, and he regrets. 
So, he ended up going back to the teacher empty handed. 
The teacher told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but  later you realise, you have already missed the person...." 


"What is marriage then?" the student asked. 
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." 
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, hence, when he reached the middle of the field, he picked one medium corn that he felt satisfied with, and came back to the teacher. 
The teacher told him, "this time you brought back a corn.... you looked for one that is just nice, and you had faith and believed that this is the best one you will get.... this is marriage."* 
 
Nice one, isn't it?

And here are some of the transformations over a period of time.

Why are all clocks on 10:10 .......

Well i have been thinking about this for a while & trying to do a bit of research to find out, why does all the clock in ads or on displays are on 10:10 .....

There are a lot of conspiracy theories that i came across while i conducted my research. Some of which i m gonna share with u now & then if anyone has a different answer or has come across a much better reason, drop in a line, well u can drop in a line anyways .....

1. Most watch companies have their logo under the 12, hence it gives a good look of the logo if the clock is set at 10:10

2. Its a smiley face

3. JFK was shot at 10:10 & its a tribute to him

4. Lincoln was shot at 10:10, hence its a tribute to him

5. Its gives a sensation of something friendly & welcoming (open arms)

6. Its a promoto for safe driving ( keep ur hands on the wheel at 10 to 2 position)

Well that is pretty much what my research revealed, let me know if u have any more information on it.

Have a good weekend everyone..

Cheers!
