A tribute to the legend.. I miss you Sachin

                Chapter of the history is finally over as India conquers the series with 2-0 against West Indies in the Wankhede stadium, Mumbai. Well who was playing there? Only one man was, Sachin Tendulkar. The rest 21 were only spectators. It all started in my life when I was growing up as a kid. At that time, all TV sets went shut down if Sachin got out in a match. Obviously I heard only the name of Sachin Tendulkar then but not aware of his reputation. A normal evening when my father was watching a nail biting match in which India was chasing huge target and Sachin was batting. I suddenly said, “Next ball and Sachin is bowled.” As I said, the same happened. Sachin was bowled on the next delivery. My father started abusing me and firstly he kicked me hard and later beat me brutally. Further I was also not allowed to watch cricket. As the time changed my father started hating him and I started loving. From the day I was beaten and the day when I quarreled with my parents for not allowing me watch the match between CSK & MI in which CSK was losing. I lost my temper and ran away from home.

                14th November 2013 is even more important date in everyone’s life when Sachin has played his last game in the Wankhede (For me it’s a nothing but a temple of God). And I always wish we must do something that the world will remember his tribute to the world cricket. Our children should not ask us, Papa/Mummy, “Who was Sachin Tendulkar?”

Sachin after stunning innings of 74 @ Wankhede

Many people including me have been sentimental after the retirement of Master Blaster from the international cricket. Well the inning of 74 runs has been even more important in every fans life. Sachin Tendulkar ends his career in his best ever form leaving a single critic not to criticize about him. Sachin had brought tears in million eyes today saying a ‘bye’. I have ordered Sachin’s special T-shirt from his goodies which are being sold on a retail site. I hope I will be able to receive it. After all, Sachin Tendulkar is the only person who makes me feel proud of my country.

My pending application with Mantralay, Mumbai

I hope it won’t happen and Sachin will be remembered as I have wrote a request to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Shree Pruthviraj Chavan for honoring Sachin Tendulkar for his contribution to the world cricket. I have requested him to allot a calendar year as Sachin Day to celebrate every year. This is a childish act of mine but somehow I have got the confirmation from Maharashtra state Mantralay and they have forwarded my application to the related department.  Till then, I shall keep praying for my application to be accepted and my dream comes true.

                Emotions all around as Sachin retires from all formats of the game. People went crazy to catch the glimpse of the star as the 3^rd day of the Test which was expected to be the last day of 5 days game play. 20,000 odd people gathered early morning to see their hero near the Wankhede Venue early morning of the third day. Many eyes had tears and so Sudhir too was sad. Sudhir is considered the biggest of the biggest fan of Sachin Tendulkar who has almost cheered every match of Sachin visiting the different venues all over the world. Sitting in a local, my eyes stuck on a large hording of Bandra last day where Reliance Communications (owned by Shree Anil Ambani) has given ad showing Sachin’s huge fan Sudhir and his spirit. Sudhir is looking very sad on the occasion when Sachin lost his wicket on 74 runs.

Emotions all around Sudhir

He might have thought that it was the last inning of his hero which had put India in to strong condition, and there were more to come, Kohli, Rohit, MSD, Ravichandran and the lower orders.

                As the venue was Mumbai, many celebs came to cheer Sachin Tendulkar in the Wankhede. We saw Aamir Khan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Aftab  Shivdasani with his fiancée, Superhero Krrish Hrithik Roshan, Maharashtra CM Pruthviraj Chavan, Mr Kapil Sibbal, Mr Prafull Shukla, Mumbai Indian owner Nita Ambani, Mr Rahul Gandhi etc. To cheer up in his last game, Sachin’s wife Anjali Tendulkar also had arrived who was stopped earlier entering the President’s Box and asked for a ticket. Well, if you are asking for ticket to her than you are the most stupid person of the world. Anjali deserves to enter each stadium of the world. Sachin’s kids were also arrived to cheer him up. Actually they aren’t any kids anymore as both Sara and Arjun have been pretty mature by their growth. Arjun, 14 remained on the boundary line to serve his dad while he was batting. At the age of 14, Sachin Tendulkar was too serving the Indian team as a ground boy before playing his first game. We could see the glimpse of his dad in Arjun Tendulkar. Apart from all the guests who were arrived including Anjali Tendulkar, daughter Sara Tendulkar and son Arjun Tendulkar, there was someone very important person of Sachin’s life who has blurred all big celeb’s presence in the stadium. An old lady headed towards the Wankhede to watch Sachin Tendulkar playing his last who was no one but Sachin’s mother (Aayi). Smt. Rajni,

Supermom Rajni with Superhero Krrish, Hrithik Roshan in Wankhede

came for the first time ever in her life to watch Sachin Tendulkar in his last test in the home ground. I cannot forget the column published by Shobaa De in Mumbai Mirror today describing his mother’s nature, was amazing to know her and the hidden truth about her personality.

                My sixth sense didn’t work this time as I was expecting the match to be ended on Sunday so that I could see the Farewell of master blaster. But it all ended on the third day. Well I will miss him a lot. I cannot imagine cricket without Sachin Tendulkar. For me, it’s all over I believe. Someone I like now is Rohit Sharma, belongs to the same city which Sachin does. I hope he will keep my hopes alive for cricket after retirement of Sachin Tendulkar. Now everyone is keen to know about Sachin and his life after retirement. I believe we should make him independent now. He was bound by unlimited expectation of people, fans, media, BCCI and his family. Now let him do what he wants. I wish him all the very best with my wet eyes. Like Shobhaa says, apart from the cricketer, Sachin is a good Son, good husband, nice brother and best father. Leaving you with his final words at the Wankhede Farewell (courtesy: Shruti Badjatia on Facebook)

“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 guidance 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.

Anjali cheering with HR in Wankhede for her husband

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,

Sara-Arjun taking break from Dad's last game

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 in-laws - 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 cricketer 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" which will reverberate in my ears till I stop breathing. Thank you very much. If I have missed out on saying something, I hope you understand. Goodbye.

In the safest Hands of MSD & Virat, Sachin says final bye to Cricket in Wankhede

I’ll be back with more updates. Nothing more I feel except crying…

Finally he arrived today... The God!

            What a breathtaking incident took place today! You know the staircase which I use after alighting local at Bhayander. Someone shouted under the bridge where Borivli bound local was arrived. Actually a thief stole someone's smartphone and disappeared in the crowd. In this chaos a young girl was somehow molested and she identified the accused who did bad to her. He came beside me and started watching the thief under the bridge. Meanwhile that girl came, pulled him and started beating him badly. I was suddenly scared what was happening and looking at the girl who was beating him. That man was saying, 

"Maine kya kiya?"

In reply the girl was saying," Tuje pata hai na tune kya kiya....." 

Thousand salute to her. I bow her. All girls must behave the same as she did. 

        

Palak (right) with our beloved God

    Well #ThankYouSachin is being tweeted everywhere. It's great to see him batting in his 200th test match. Actually, the last game of his life in International cricket. Yes, his Temple is full of devotees today as co incidentally he has come to play on his home ground at Wankhede Venue and remains unbeaten on 38*. I am sure tomorrow morning will be quite cool in Mumbai but the heat will be on early morning when the God will come to bat. The atmosphere will turn wild when thousands of spectators will roar as he will arrive in ground looking towards the sky and wishing to make yet another century before his retirement. I will not be able to witness him as I will be in my office but I am satisfied with the thing which Sachin brought into my life. He is even more than the God for me. 

            The picture above defines everything about the God as RJ Palak of Radio City Mumbai has prepared this amazing temple of Sachin Tendulkar and it is being driven in the various parts of Mumbai. From Shivaji Park to Lords, Sachin has made everyone stunned with his performance in his journey and not only me but also the spectators sitting in the Wankhede must be saying,  

"Come On Sachin! It's just a start. Do not retire now."

            When I went to see him in the IPL in his temple Wankhede, I was allotted the Grand Stand (Which has the camera view) where the VVIP guests had arrived. But their craze for Sachin Tendulkar was just like a little kid who was eager to meet Sachin. Whenever Sachin would come to field on the boundary line, they would shout loudly, 

"Ey Sachin....." or "Sachin" 

            Hoping that one of the noise he would catch and he might look at them. But how it is possible when the stand has seats on top level and the crowd is already roaring "Sachin.... Sachin". I hope I will be able to see him once again because he makes me feel happy, he brings luck, he brings me all that I want in life. Well either asking to the God made of stone or asking the real God, there's a big difference. A stoned God will make your dreams fulfilled after efforts but the real one will fulfill them automatically. That's my personal experience. Great to see today Palak with the God in his temple, it has probably increased my faith more in Sachin and proved that even after retirement he'll be not only seen as a cricketer but also he'll be worshiped as a God. I don't know about the other parts of the country but I am sure, the Mumbaikars will do because a Mumbaikar cannot be called a "Mumbaikar" if he doesn't eat Vadapav and doesn't pray Sachin Tendulkar. 

Dear God, Your Temple is ready...

                We’re just a day away when we are seeing our god in his own temple, Wankhede in Mumbai. Well my office is just around corner but I cannot be able to watch him because of unavailability of tickets. I will get myself satisfied by hearing the noise of the crowd sitting in the temple. I always wished along my life that I was a bird who knew Sachin Tendulkar very well amongst all the birds and whenever he played, I would have gone to witness him regularly in his temple and in the last test he would hit a stroke towards the stand where I would be sitting and the ball would hit me with its speed which would cause my immediate death.

              

Wankhede, Temple of Sachin Tendulkar

  Well, it is the end of cricket in my life when my God retires after 24 years of tremendous cricket. What has he given to the country? Cricket….. If he wasn’t here, no one would have ever known what cricket was and your child would never ask you for a cricket bat or ball. He is the guy who has provided the opportunity to make business of cricket kits. Playing last game at the Wankhede, Sachin is well prepared and so the securities too. It is considered the highest secured place ever in India, the Wankhede Stadium during the Test match between WI & India. Have a look how much the temple of Sachin Tendulkar gonna be secured….

·         Numbers of Deputy Commissioners- 3

·         Maharashtra Police (Male)- 850

·         ACPs- 18

·         Police Inspectors- 35

·         Sub Inspectors- 90

·         Maharashtra Police (Female)- 200

·         Bomb detective & disposal squad- 6

·         Quick Response Team- 12 Teams

·         Emergency Vehicles – 16

·         SRPF- 6 Companies

·         CCTV Cameras- 352

                Apart from the ground securities, the South Mumbai has been declared “No Flying Zone” during the five days game play. So do you feel if I was a bird and I had gone to see Sachin Tendulkar, would have I been survived???? 

I’ll be back with more on Sachin. Have a nice day guys.

How to control your 60,000 thoughts?

                A normal human thinks average 60,000 thoughts in a day. Thoughts decide future and human builds his own future by thinking in a proper way. Once, thinking is under control, no one can stop you reaching your destination. Not even the God because you become a superior, undefeated and successful enough to control things around you. But it is never possible if one of those thoughts you are thinking will be a negative. Probably it will destroy your 59,999 thoughts and mislead you.

               

We're the creator of the situation we're in. Stop Blaming.

We all know that “An empty mind is a home for Devil” and once we get into the situation, we find it hard to come out. Although we try to think positive, but we can only show people that we are thinking positive but actually we are still there in our inner world which is quite complicated and problematic. This is the situation we need to come out and control our thoughts in a beautiful way. I have got the simple way to do it. Well here they are,

·         Read Newspapers (Improve GK in current affairs and don’t panic reading sensitive articles by involving yourself in them)

·         Children are gift of God. Imagine yourself playing with the child you like the most. Either it is yours or somebody else’s. It will definitely make you relaxed in a situation like that.

·         Always keep the company of good books with you. In that case, I must recommend Robin Sharma’s books which are nothing but the hidden treasure of life how to live it. I bet you will read those 100 times without being bored .One of the best of him is “Who will cry when you die” which is available in almost every major language in India.

·         Stop seeing those stupid reality shows on TV.

·         Make the less use of social networks. A recent survey has proven that Facebook creates much anxiety. And so the WhatApp when you’re seeing your crush’s last seen. If you’re feeling lonely with unnecessary thoughts, have bananas with you. Bananas have tremendous power to heal you from loneliness.

·         “Love” is the most beautiful gift. If you have your love than please do not doubt, do not hurt and do not ignore. The more you respect your love, the more you get from them and the more you doubt them, the more it will be complicated .It’s also a matter of thinking.

·         If you hate someone than stop thinking about them. Leave them on their own.

·         And the biggest one is hard to apply yet it is the most effective. Replace the bad thought immediately with a good one which is implemented by almost every successful person of the world.

Please don't make me cry anymore.

                Quite tough time I have during my visits to hometown. I believe our home is bound by some supernatural powers that have made all of us ill. My father who has suddenly fallen ill, mother has been operated and younger brother has been suffering from food poisoning and I, as usual sneezing and irritating with the cold and flu. After the Jalaram Jayanti, my conditions got worsen and uneasiness covered me in its trap quite well again. With the semi unconscious condition, last day I got in MEMU in which I was accompanied by couple of families. I was down with fever, cold and head was extremely aching, I wasn’t able to talk to anybody. I saw a college going girl who had a bag hung on her shoulder even heavier than her was finding seat here and there. After the incident took place in Delhi Metro at the AIIMS Station couple of years ago with a pregnant lady, I immediately gave her seat and she went asleep. I believe women must be helped however they’re because we don’t know exactly through which condition they’re going.

               

                I was starving and taking Andheri bound local, I saw a Bhelpuri Vendor and asked him to make one. And here, when I got the Bhel, I found no onion in it. He had added cucumber instead of onions in the Bhel. Now I can say that the onions have make many people cry a lot (except jain). Mumbai which is famous for its fast food that is different types of Chats, the vendors are unable to use the onions as their rates have increased to such point where a common men might afford. No wonder it has made many people JAIN now as people have stopped using them, Now  if you are jain and you are ordering Bhel you will definitely say,

Well the day isn't far.. Lol!

“Bhaiya. Ek jain bhel bana de.”

Now you don’t have to say that because the vendors are not using them. As an option, they are using either cabbage or cucumber. Lol! I am amazed because I am living in Maharashtra state which is known for its productivity of Onions worldwide and it is going through the toughest conditions. Few days ago, I met a man living in the interior locality of Maharashtra where onions are grown. He told me the rates of them per Kg is 5 to 6 Rs. It is still the same as it was published in newspapers too. But see how corruption has controlled our lives as we are paying 60 to 90 Rs for single Kg Onions!!! The fun has throughout spread in India as the onion prices are hiked. The wedding rings made of an onion; man with onions becomes the richest man in the country and the others you may find either on social networks or WhatsApp.

Richest Indian

But the thing is that an onion is the most common vegetable among the rich and the poor. This time it has proven with its hiked rates that it is no more common now. Even a rich will think twice to buy onions, and poor can either only imagine about it or get satisfied with the pictures of it.

                We can only expect the rates of onions will be decreased in the future so that we can taste the Bhel again, a poor will afford to buy them and rich will start crying while cutting them in large numbers. It seems impossible when we have the largest democracy where people are losers and corruption is a winner.

All is well for K3!

                It’s a rumor everywhere in Mumbai around the relationship of Hrithik Roshan & Susane Roshan. I hope everything is all right between them under the huge success of Krrish 3. Everyone is celebrating the success of the movie and I am amazed how movies are competing by their collection on Box Office with the other movies. Krrish 3, which has successfully crossed the Chennai Express record (as expected), is being liked by everyone. Figures are now counted in crores including the international business. What is to be criticized when the movie is made for kids? It is quite digestible for me with amazing effects.

               

He's back in his own town

Hrithik Roshan, a Papa’s boy defines every time with his speechless acts in the movies that no one can compete with him, especially the role of Rohit where he gives tremendous performance in the series of Superhero movies. Just think you’re an actor and imagine you are going for an audition at the office of one of the biggest directors of Bollywood and you are given the role to play the character of Rohit which is played by Hrithik. I am sure that you will fail. Rekha who is absent from the movie and Priyanka who gets married to Krishna fits in a wife role. Krishna’s father Rohit who sacrifices his life to give a new life to his son to survive the world is back with new researches. Vivek is as usual. I really do not like his attitude. Let’s see who will be nominated in best villain category. In that case, I’ll truly favor Kangana Ranaut. The beautiful lady in a negative role suits best in her character. Well, in person I like her very much after seeing her in different roles in movies and this time she is much appreciated.

                Let’s not blame the movie anymore and wish all Krrish 3 team all the best for its huge success. It has been made considering the kids and it has got the benefit of the biggest festival of India. The factor may be the city in which it has been filmed that is Mumbai. The kids are much interested to see their city survived by their superhero who was seen somewhere in northern area in KMG, in Singapore in K2 and now he is back in his hometown in K3, Mumbai. Beloved Rakesh papa has done fabulous job to which I must salute. As Hrithik and Priyanka get a baby boy in the end, we must expect the Krrish 4 will soon be planned in the upcoming future.
