SACHIN TENDULKAR

the name itself strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers all around the world. Hailed as the next master-blaster following the legacy of the great West Indian Vivian Richards, this man has all the shots in the book, and a few more. There is nothing this man cannot do - he opens the batting for India in the one-dayers, comes at no. 4 in test matches, bowls rightarm offbreaks, legbreaks and even googlies (the wrong-un). He also swings the ball both ways when he bowls his medium pacers. It seems he had tried his hands at wicket-keeping too (in his school days), but gave it up in pursuit of what he does best - Batting.
Tendulkar is the only Indian cricketer to receive the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour for his performance in 1997-1998.

Playing in the same team as Sachin is a huge honour.His balance of mind, and above all,his technical brilliance make him my all-time hero..

Duty and Love.

If you act out of the idea of duty, you are forcing yourself;
it means you are following a certain discipline taught by the society.
Duty is something forced upon you; you ‘have to’ do it.
Duty is a social obligation; it is a commitment not because of love.
Duty is social; duty is legal.
Duty is a burden, a formality.

If your act is out love then it has a different fragrance,
through your act you are sharing your joy.
Love is out of the desire to share; it is your total response.
Love is your joy; it is of your own heartbeats,
Love is being responsible; it is out of your own experience of joy.
Love is flowing; love is rejoicing.
Love is freedom, it is informal.

Duty is a false substitute for love.
Let all your action born out of love.

Orbed is the moon and bright,
And the stars they glisten, glisten,
Seeming with bright eyes to listen
For what listen they?"
