An ode to Sachin Tendulkar

 Staying Power:
 Boeing 747 on high octane rocket fuel,
 Mohammed Ali's fiercest boxing duel.

 Stroke play:
 Angelina Jolie's at her seductive best,
 King Kong's strength when he beats his chest.

 Humility,
 Gandhi during his South African stay,
 Churchill when his hair turned grey.

 Mentor-ship,
 Mother hen over its dear eggs,
 Banyan tree with young and frail under its legs.

 Speed,
 Usain Bolt in the 100m sprint.
 Bill Gates when he is emptying the mint.

 Agility,
 Nadia Comaneci displaying calisthenics,
 European pyrotechnics.

 Dependability,
 The Great Wall of China,
 Is enough to describe Sachin's Arena.

 Religion,
 To entertain himself, When God decides to descend on Earth,
 He usually orders a divine warrior called Sachin to take birth !!

What makes the real difference ?

What makes the REAL difference?

 It is not the rice; it is the homemade lemon pickle.

 It is not the biryani; it is the nutmeg, cloves & cinnamon.

 It is not the milk; it is the cocoa & coffee seeds.

 It is not the idly/dosa, it is the chutney & sambar

 It is not the fabric, it is the design.

 It is not the diamond, it is the cut.

 It is not the expensive ship that sunk in the movie Titanic, it is the poignant romance well narrated.

 It is not the IPhone, it is Angry Birds & Temple Run.

 It is not the 2 Lakh Plasma TV, it is Cable TV & it is IPL.

 It is not the marriage, it is the trust.

 It is not the PC; it is Microsoft Office & Photoshop

 It is not the World Wide Web, it is Facebook & Gmail

 It is not the prestigious college; it is the unforgettable hostel life.

 It is not the party, it is the jokes.

 It is not the cruise; it is the dolphin dive in the sea.

 It is not the million dollars home, it is seeing your baby crawl in it.

 Understand what makes the REAL difference.

 Only then you can give and get real VALUE. More importantly you will know where the life in your life is?

Well he did not live to find out but looks like his house had emotion.
