"Destined to be a great" -Barry Richards.
"He is 99.5 percent perfect. I'd pay to see him" - Viv Richards.
"Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours" - Michael Kasprowicz.
"It's scary, where the hell do we bowl to him" -Allan Border.
"There is no shame being beaten by such a great player. We didn't lose to TeamIndia. We Lost to Sachin Tendulkar" -Steve Waugh.
"If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard" -Dennis Lillee.
"I'd like to see him go out and bat one day with a stump. I tell you he'd do okay"-Greg Chappell.
"Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he played in mytime" - Wasim Akram.
"The pressure on me is nothing as compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God,must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressureon him" -Mark Waugh.
"Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a15-year of period, it's definitely Sachin." - Brain Lara
"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket andbelting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone,apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just anamazing player" -Shane Warne.
"I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wifeto come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player isplaying much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television andsaid yes, there is a similarity between the two... his compactness, technique,stroke production... it all seemed to gel" -Sir Donald Bradman.
"In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me with a sortof gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say 'Can you bowl me another one?'" -Adam Hollioke
You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and hewalks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but hejust waves it arounad like it's a toothpick? -Brett Lee
You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going tohit you for fours and sixes anyway? -Micheal Kasprowicz
Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow ? Nothing is aproblem? -Geoffrey Boycott.
His life seems to be stillness in a frantic world... [When he goes out to bat], itis beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to oneman. The people see him as a God... ? Mathew Hayden, on Sachin Tendulkar.
"The fact of the matter is that India still needs Sachin in a big way. All this talkof the youngsters taking over is very foolish. The reason whyTendulkar is so important for the team is because of his ability to inspire othersand make them perform under pressure" - Some day on "Times of India".
And, this is the best!!! (A True fan of Sachin carried this Banner in a match..)
"Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because eventhe Lord is busy watching him batting"

New ICC rules:
After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification
(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only.
(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
These rules will clarify better to the all teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.

వర్ధమాన దేశం
(Translation for one of the old mail in my mailbox,with due credits to the original author)
1990(నేను స్కూల్ కి వెళ్ళే రోజుళ్ళో...)
చీమ వేసవికాలం అంతా కష్టపడి శీతాకాలానికి కావాల్సిన అన్నింటిని(ఇల్లు ,ఆహారం) సమకూర్చుకొంది. మిడత మాత్రం చీమను చూసి నవ్వుకొంది. ఎగతాళి చేసింది. వేసవి అంతా ఎంజాయ్ చేసింది. వేసవి వచ్చాక చీమ వెచ్చగా రెస్ట్ తీసుకుంటుంటే మిడత మాత్రం అహారం లేక, ఉండడానికి షెల్టర్ లేక చలికి చనిపొయింది.
నీతి ఏంటంటే దీపం ఉండగానే ఇల్లు చక్కబెట్టుకోవాలి.
ఇదంతా నా చిన్నప్పుడు, ఇప్పటి కోతులు మాకూ తాతలున్నారన్నట్టే, మిడతలు కూడా తెలివిమీరిపోయాయి.
2007:
చీమ వేసవికాలం అంతా కష్టపడి శీతాకాలానికి కావాల్సిన అన్నింటిని(ఇల్లు ,ఆహారం) సమకూర్చుకొంది. మిడత మాత్రం చీమను చూసి నవ్వుకొంది. ఎగతాళి చేసింది. వేసవి అంతా ఎంజాయ్ చేసింది. చలికాలం వచ్చింది.
మిడత వణుక్కుంటూ ఒక ప్రెస్ కాన్ఫరెన్స్ పెట్టి, అందరూ చలికి వణుకుతూ, కరువులో వుంటే చీమ మాత్రం వెచ్చగా , వేళకు తింటూ ఆనందంగా ఉండడం ఎంతవరకు సమంజసం అని ప్రశ్నించింది. ఇక మొదలు అసలు కధ.
NDTV, BBC, CNN ఛానల్స్ అన్నీ ఒకపక్క వణుకుతున్న మిడత ఫొటోని, మరోపక్క చీమ సౌకర్యంగా ఇంట్లో తినే వీడియోని పోటీ పడి ప్రసారం చేసాయి.
ప్రపంచం అంతా బిత్తరపోయింది. మిడత మాత్రం, మిడత మాత్రమే ఎందుకు అలా బాధ పడాలని.....
అరుందతి రాయ్ చీమ ఇంటి ముందు నిరసన ప్రదర్శన చేసింది.
మేధా పాట్కర్ మిగతా మిడతలతో కలిసి మిడతలన్నిటినీ చలికాలంలో వెచ్చని ప్రదేశాలకి తరలించాలని నిరాహార దీక్ష మొదలు పెట్టింది.
ఆమ్నెస్టీ ఇంటర్నేషనల్ , కోఫీ అన్నన్ మిడతల హక్కుల్ని పరిరక్షించలేక పోయినందుకు భారత ప్రభుత్వాన్ని విమర్శించారు.
ఇంటర్నెట్ అంతా మిడతలకు న్యాయం జరగాలని ఆన్ లైన్ పిటిషన్స్ తో హోరెత్తిపోయింది.
అపోజిషన్ పార్టీ వాకౌట్ చేసింది. లెఫ్ట్ పార్టీస్ పశ్చిమ బెంగాల్ లో భారత్ బంద్ కి పిలుపునిచ్చాయి. కేరళ జ్యుడిషియల్ ఎంక్వైరీ కోరింది.
వెనువెంటనే కేరళ లో CPM పార్టీ, చీమలకూ,మిడతలకూ సమానత్వం కావాలంటూ, చీమలు వేసవి కాలంలో పని చేయరాదంటూ ఒక ఆర్డినెన్స్ పాస్ చేసింది.
లాలూ ప్రసాద్ ఇండియన్ రైల్వే తరపున ఒక పూర్తి కోచ్ ని మిడతలకి ఇచ్చేసారు.
చివరికి జ్యుడిషియల్ కమిటీ Prevention Of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act(POTAGA) ను పాస్ చేసింది. అది ఆ శీతాకాలం నుంచే అమల్లోకి వచ్చింది.
అర్జున్ సింగ్, అన్ని మిడతలకి విద్యాలయాలలోనూ, ప్రభుత్వ ఉద్యోగాలలోనూ ప్రత్యేక రిజర్వేషన్లు కల్పిస్తూ ఒక ప్రకటన విడుదల చేసారు.
చీమ POTAGA చట్టానికి విరుధ్ధంగా ప్రవర్తించినందుకు చీమకు ఫైన్ పడింది. చీమ చెల్లించకపోయేసరికి చీమ ఇంటిని ప్రభుత్వం స్వాధీనం చేసుకొని మిడతకు అప్పగించింది. ఈ కార్యక్రమాన్ని NDTV ప్రత్యక్ష ప్రసారం చేసింది.
.......
చివరకు న్యాయమే గెలించిందని అరుందతి రాయ్ అన్నారు.
సమాజానికి ఇప్పుడు న్యాయం జరిగిందని లాలు ప్రసాద్ పేర్కొన్నారు.
బలహీన వర్గాల విజయంగా దీన్ని CPM పేర్కొంది.
కోఫీ అన్నన్ UN సర్వ సభ్య సమావేశం లో ప్రసంగించాల్సిందిగా మిడతను అహ్వానించారు.
చాలా సంవత్సరాల తర్వాత,
…………
...........…….
అప్పుడే చీమ ఇండియా నుంచి అమెరికాకు వలస వెళ్ళిపోయింది. అక్కడే సిలికాన్ వాలీ లో భారీ పరిశ్రమ నొకదాన్ని స్ధాపించి సంతోషంగా ఉంది.
కానీ ఇక్కడ ఇండియా లో మాత్రం మిడతలు కరువుతో చస్తూనే ఉన్నాయి.(రిజర్వేషన్ ఉన్నా)
కష్టపడి పని చేసే చీమలను పోగొట్టుకోవడంచేతనూ, మిడతలను మేపుతూ ఉండడం చేతనూ ,
................................................
................................................
భారతదేశం ఇంకా వర్ధమాన దేశమే!

ఆర్యులు-- నిజమా లేక భారత చరిత్రని నిలువునా ముంచడానికి మక్స్ ముల్లర్ చేసిన ప్రయత్నమా?--1
నా చిన్నప్పుడు మా నాన్నగారు మమ్మల్ని కూర్చోపెట్టుకొని రామాయణం చెప్పేవారు. ఆ చరిత్రకి, నేను పాఠశాలలో చదివిన చరిత్రకి ఎక్కడో తేడా కనపడుతూ వుండేది. ఐతే అప్పట్లో నాకు ఒకేఒక సందేహం ఎక్కువగా వచ్చేది. అదేమిటంటే పట్టుబట్టల్లో పుట్టిన సంస్కృతికి బట్టలు కట్టుకోవడం ఒకరు నేర్పించడమేమిటి అని, తర్వాతి కాలంలో ఈ లిస్ట్ పెద్దదై పోయింది.
“వేదాలు అపౌరుషేయాలు, అవి ఎవరూ రాయలేదు, అందుకే వేద పాఠశాలలలో వేదాలు వల్లె వేస్తారు కాని పుస్తకాలలో చూసి చదవరు” ఇదీ వేదాల గురించి అప్పటిదాకా నాకు తెలిసినది. కానీ ఆర్యులు వేదాలు రాసారు అనేసరికి ఎమీ అర్ధం కాలేదు. అప్పటినుంచి ఇప్పటిదాకా ఆ సందేహం అలాగే ఉండిపోయింది. You tube పుణ్యమా అని నిన్న ఒక వీడియో చూడడం జరిగింది. కొన్ని సందేహాలు తీరిపొయాయి. ఆ వీడియో ఇక్కడ embed చేస్తున్నాను.

ఎటు సాగునో ఈ IT నావ
నాకు వచ్చిన ఒక ఫార్వర్డ్ మెయిల్................ భారతీయ IT పరిశ్రమ తీరు తెన్నుల గురించి.....
It's a topic that has been oft debated - that India 's tech industry is a lot like the Chinese manufacturing phenomenon - Low cost, reasonable quality, minimal innovation. I was an employee of a huge IT company in India (what the heck, it was TCS ) and have, in the two years in their employ, developed certain opinions and concerns about the direction of India 's IT revolution.
Here's how Indian IT companies operate (Infy, TCS, wipro and the second string such as mastek, satyam, patni etc). Hire engineers in bulk, never mind that they are not computer scientists or electrical engineers - if they can write a few lines of code in C/C++ and are academically decent, they're hired . After all, they dont need brilliant engineers - just people who will do as they are told and reasonably intelligent enough to get the client's work done, and bullshit their way out of it if they don't. They'll rarely make CAD software for Electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. Instead they will develop "end to end solutions" for banking, finance, inventory management, website development, etc. By develop I mean code, not design - there is a huge difference between the two, something which I will touch upon shortly. One important thing to note is that the HR in most IT companies dont give a damn about individual interests. They will put you wherever they need someone to slog for them . I've had one HR person tell me that they will put me in a project where they get maximum money, regar d less if I am interested or not. And they wonder why so many people leave!!!
What is the nature of the work? At least 70% of the international projects in most indian IT companies is maintenence - i.e someone else has already developed an application.. All you need to do is add more features/change behaviour as per client's request . Then there's production support, which is worse. It is almost call-center work - ensure that the application runs normally and if it fails, get it up and running ASAP. Take calls from the client, update on the status. In a sense, like a car mechanic - I didnt get an engineering degree to be a car mechanic - I got it to design the car! Finally, if you are lucky you get development - write code.. But then, writing code is easy - it is like manufacturing a car. What is not, is designing a system that works efficiently. Typically, foreign clients get the design done by the likes of Accenture, IBM, etc. The designs are then sent to desi companies, who actually do the coding at a cost much cheaper than IBM or accenture. Thus, all we do is donkey work. It is not technology - it is programming. Technology is a new idea, paradigm or design - programming is implementing that design. Thus, most of the people in IT waste their engineering degrees, doing mundane programming, until they are made project managers - after which they spend their lives approving timesheets, conducting appraisals and sucking up to the client . Wait a second - shouldnt an experienced IT professional be doing advanced stuff and leave the bullshitting to MBAs?
Why is it so hard for desi companies to do design? The've not tried hard enough (yet) to get into this space. They just dont have the competence to get the job done. Desi companies are amazing at procedure oriented projects - if there is a procedure in place telling us what to do, we can do it. They dont have the experience (and therefore the brand equity) to attract IT consulting projects. Consulting is largely a reputation driven business. In order to build such a reputation, desi companies need to hire high-flying consulants - they dont come cheap. Even after all this, there is no guarantee of results! (Lately, Infy is trying to get into this space, I'm told, so good luck to them. I dont think TCS is though :-)) How many software products come out of Indian cos? IFlex is the only company to have a product successful worldwide. Making products is expensive and again, there is no guarantee of success - why risk it when services give me an assured income?
Why do we need to get into high end IT - consulting and products? Simply because the algorithm of low cost, low margin services will run it's course in the future. As payscales rise in india and the rupee appreciating wrt the dollar, margins become more and more slim. In time, India may not be as competitive as say Brasil or Russia - the American cos will take their projects out there! U can see trends in the manufacturing sector - earlier Taiwan was the manufacturing base for American cos, then SouthKorea and then these days, China For too long have we been stuck in the procedure oriented IT services. It is time to invest in consulting and products, and take Indian IT to the next level, or else I fear we will remain stuck in this low end nonsense.
Indian companies thus have 2 choices - identify and set shop in countries where the low cost, low margin algorithm can be applied (TCS seems to be taking this route) or enter into high end IT, which is independent of geography (Which Infy is trying) . I believe the latter is the better route - it is a high margin business and reasonably high tech. What is even better, is coming up with technology - like Java, efficient databases, advanced operating systems (Like Sun, Oracle or Microsoft). That is real tech. It's not that we can't do it. It's just that we dont want to risk it . But, nothing venture, nothing have! Desi companies' dont even do proper R&D!
Finally, a true story. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) was huge in the chip manufacturing industry, making almost 60% profit. T h ey could have got into chip design, and potentially, designed low cost chips. However, design is a risky business - what if the chip bombs? TSMC chose to stick to it's core competence - fabrication. In time, TSMC's profits have declined to 20% or so... they're still number one, but don't make as much money as they used to... Are we learning yet?
