27 today!!

A year ago on the same day i wrote a post about turning 26 and today here i am writing one on turning 27.

Well, has anything changed from 26 to 27? Alot of things in life have changed but i dont think those things in life are in any way affected by numbers (i.e. age)

So guys bless you all and I am off now to go and watch some TV and then off to the Gurudwara during the day to thank the Almighty.

Cheers!!

Sachin Tendulkar

Time Magazine on Sachin Tendulkar`s Journey

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 another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.
