Sachin: got through mail and was impressed

When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.

When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.

It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had a Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.

A tale of two gals

By just being in this world often you come across some incidents which are interesting even though when u r also not part of it.

Similar thing happened with me when i was travelling in a bus in Delhi. Seats of the bus were arranged in face to face way. I was on my seat and in front of me were two college going gals facing towards me, their talks were easily audible to me. One of them was pretty attractive [;)], and was owner of some great pair of Eyes.They were talking like we all used to talk in out college days, sharing earphones from single mobile. Talking of mobile companies, motorola ... sony erricson blah blah..., but there was a piece of conversation which was pretty interesting.

So after some time ... the attractive gal complains that she is feeling dizzy.

Attractive gal: Yaar m feeling very dizzy, headache

Other Gal: what happened, may be coz our seats r arranged in opposite direction to the bus

Attractive gal: No yaar, its coz of my eyes.

[That time i thought what happened to those beautiful eyes.]

Other gal: Why what happened

Attractive gal: yaar my eyes number got increased. before it was 4.25 now its 4.75.

Other gal: What ?? why dont you take specs then.

Attractive gal: No i cant even think about it.

Other gal: why what happened.

Attractive gal:You know It will be of so much embarrassment in front of my cousins. I don't want to look like inferior in front of them.

Other gal: Its nothing like that. you should wear specs.

Attractive gal: No yaar, you wont understand.

Other gal: hmmm....

Attractive gal: (suddenly in excited stage) CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF WITH SPECS??? JUST THINK HOW BAD IT'LL BE.

Other gal: (in same enthusiasm) haan yaar i cant even imagine.

Attractive gal: tell me what to do now....

That point of time .. i was smiling with on that gal with pity ... not only coz she was talking rubbish ... putting her looks before her eyes .... but also for that i wished i could tell her that she will look more prettier in Rectangular specs with black frame.
