Elements of Successful defeat.


In life you try to be content with what you have, those who don't they either work hard and harder to get their things and the remaining just blow themselves in self curse. Do you really get what you want?If you get was it the thing you wanted? was it worth the effort you took?

Its subjective and absolutely relative. Do the karma and don't worry of the fruits.That's The greatest point. But its the fruit which drives most to do extra-ordinary things?So if I try and give my best to be nothing or to find me in lost situation?

Am I the winner? Long back someone told me Winning is Absolute you either Win or Lose. Oops may be its true! I remember Ashoka in the battle of kalinga won everything but the massacre left him to self disdain and he gave up everything for which he took so much effort. I have seen people who work arduously to get a thing or two but then give up their own grown baby. Its then when you want to have something but you don't see it from all dimensions.

If you are really in Love, you give a try and get it, you try and did not got , you never tried and yes never got. Is the first one the winner or the second one or the third or the one who tried and gave up owns life for a lost love. Is the self pain the panacea for the losers?
Someone who lost ones love and then crib about it everyday - is the one who lost or won?Huh hu, I never knew and may be I will never know. To me give your best and enjoy it , if you fail I know its heartfelt but respect the effort and be happy; for the fact and those days you tried to achieve your Love. Its tough , I know millions and zillions and can spout gibberish like me explaining and trying to spread a message. Ok chill!

You have a Choice or chance? You would take what? I take a chance? What say? the risk is higher; but for the fact the Chance may yield me my Choice; I grab the Chance!

1971 between the Indo- Pak war , Indian forces with only 120 in number hold ed the pakis which were around 2000-3000 in number. Ohh I wont digress from the the point.

Life is a strange phenomenon, you make it, break it and your destiny moulds it. The things you yell you may get and still be happy or unhappy. I never know how to live? Is it the life? Oh I got this message on my cell a day before:=

" The most you can miss a person is when you sit besides the person you Love the most and .. u know you can't have that person....." dats life....!"

I dont like to lose things, The things which are good and I cant get I dont think about it. Is it a victory or not accepting that you lost or just a mental delusion or a manipulation that ok dear its your destiny. , because you found someone so good but you know you cant so you never ever try and just move on. Is it the right way?

Or you let your feelings grow and grow , till you find the person you love cant be yours and then one daily you start to sink every night crying for that one. Never ever punish yourself. move on at a pace. Many cant do this by self. The time makes things to happen. Time is a healer, but what about your mind? if you get something more or better can it squash your memories? I dont think for everyone its true. One had a dream and you never chased it , then the dream is never lost by you. is that a failure? Successful are the people who chase their dreams and be content with what they have today and have courage when they fail. Lucky are the people who are happy every day and enjoy with what they have and doesn't crib what they dont. Life is a struggle , and dont let the inertia hold you. Just Move ,move on a pace , the time we have today is to do a lot of things , dont be shy . Life is short so Just Do iT?

All those young at age n heart life is not a journey its a race its actually a car rally, you got milestones you may achieve some and some not. You may create some and you may not see some.

Whats this? Am i writing this to console me? Am I having a tough time? or did I lose something?May be its true or partly true or as I say its Relatively True? Wish you Happiness! Ciao!

Sachin- The Maestro of Indian cricket.
Cricket Crickeet Crickeeeeet.......

&&&^^^" Eat Cricket, Sleep cricket and drink Cricket "

Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, Kapil dev , Kiran More, Bishen Singh Bedi, Anil Kumble and many more inspired the Indian cricket by playing in rough times. The Body Line series, the numerous matches with Mighty English, the ruthless Aussies and the arch rivals Pakistan. They stood up and told the world that Indian Cricket is alive and can brush the best of any side.

kapil Dev infused a sense of pride and agrressiveness in the 70-80's . Got the country the 1983 cup which made the cricket mad country in a frenzy. Those numerous matches I would have missed but yo I can realate to the pulse of the nerves which the retro audience would
have enjoyed - The Absolute Pulsation.
The era of my youth those early school days, the summer and the winter, the 1991 world cup with the Newzealanders going wild to the six off the last ball and to the bowling of Khan's. Then 1996 mayhem by Sanath jaysuriya, to ravishing act of Aussies in 1999 , 2003 and 2007.

Cricket has grown over the years with efforts of many . But I connotate Sachin And Brain Lara to be the drivers and gears of the morden cricket. They have outgrown the difficult times and with a mediocre team in hand. Yes I love Sachin and I am not writing his biography and statistics ( which you can find in plethora of websites ).
He started an age of 16 - the youngest in the history of cricket ( yeah someone from Pakistan did before him later , but its something I will like to throw in Oblivion). Year 1989 Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and the Pakistan Pace Attack brimming with confidence with undue support of match refrees are waiting for Indians . The Pacemen look to rip apart Indian Batting. That was the time , the Team India Called Upon sachin to face the Bloodbath and
yeah he failed in the first attempt , but with meagre score of 15 runs he impressed many. A few days later he was not out with a maiden half century at Faisalabad.
A brief look at his records:
<>
Today many say he couldnt win matches or crib about his ability. I want to tell them to Shut the **** up. This man has played for 17 years. The body line, the worldcups to the morden run scoring cricket. He has been the backbone of Indian Cricket. He was among the star batsman of the cricket ,when the rest of the team struggled. With hardly any experience in Internation
cricket he scored his first test century Against England in England and remember The English were far better then and the pitches had the pace and bounce to test the batsmen. India wold have won many matches today but those ruthless pitches are now numb and are batsmen friendly . We dont have pacers like courtney Walsh or marsh.

Even Today when we defeated Aussies in their homeland who scored the runs?SACHINWith his century in the first final and a 90 in second final. Remember the 2nd final the Aussies came tough and it was only Sachin who tamed them.or take the 2009 NZ series he was again among the best scorers.
Go back in time and look at 1996 World Cup.Huh! Who has played like him in any world cup. With highest amount of runs to even great Bowling. He took India single
handed to Semi finals. And in Semis when we lost who scored the Highest???? SACHIN

Come to the 2004 Aussie tour . Aussies were the team who had won 13 straight test matches. Indian Drew the series. Who again scored the best? SACHIN with 200 in Sydney awesome Innings. We all know the mighty Aussies. Who has scored the Max runs against them?? Sachin
Most number of Man of Matches in the World? Sachin.

Get back in time ( year 1994) when Sachin was 18 , the new Zealand tour, the bouncy turf. He was asked to open and he smashed 82 in 49 bowls at Auckland NZ.To year 1991 when India Toured Australia the Toughest team then in the world. While the rest of the team struggled to
score Sachin stood tall and scored 148 at Sydney and saved the Indian team at such an early age. To Sharjah in 1994 where he ripped Pakistan all out. To 1998 series with Australia where he was the lone to smash Aussies around with his brilliant centuries.
There was time period of 1992-2000 where if SAchin gets out early India loses matches. He has to play all matches well to ensure the Indian Victory. Has to handle a mediocre team and undue expectations from the countrymen.
God I cant believe the skills and the persistence of this MAN in the 2003 World Cup . 11 Matches India lost twice and sachin Scored 673 runs. With most most Man of the matches and eventually the Many of the Series ( he was man of the series in 1996 too ).
Remember those days when Sachin use to walk in the ground and the whole crowd used to be mad. The 6's the 4's to the wonderful bowling in hero cup, he made crowd wild.With people carry slogans
" Cricket is Our Religon , Sachin is our GOD."
He is the only cricketer to score centuries in all version of Indian First Class Cricket.
1st march 2003 WC match India vs Pakistan, The Hot day and the crazy environment , the Pakis waiting to explode scores 273. The Pak pacers sets eye on Indian batsmen and Shoiab Akhtar bowling at 160 miles . What happened was just amazing the Bat of Sachin
slashes and the bowl goes out of ropes at speed of 200 miles. India Won Again. Sachin played virtually in every match in 2003 and took India to finals where bowlers failed miserably.
The thing did not stop there Sachin was in great form and he scored continous centuries when even toured the Pakistan and the famous Steve Waugh retirement series.

Come back in 1998 when India was in Bangladesh, fighting Aqeeb Javed, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis from Pakistan. Sachin got India to flying starts and ripped off Aqeeb by hitting sixes. It was such a shame for the pacer to see a man charging down
the track and hitting for a Six. Oh my goodness I loved his style of play.

Now if we see his style of play , he has been a unique cricketer much to the Likes of the Legendary Don Bradman. He has the uncanny ability to use full crease and shoot the ball around the circumference the pitch. His straight and wonderful watch.
None can hit so straight in such a beautiful way. His contribution to cricket has been legendary- leg cut , the leg glance and the effective use of Chinese cuts are his trademarks. Not only he discovered such style of play , he influenced many young cricketers to use their bat and imbibe such skills. He spotting of the ball early makes him equivalent in fact more
agile then a F1 driver. He has been a true gentlemen away from any controversies; a polite intellect and talented human being.
I can keep writing about him but it wont conclude. He is the Jewel an asset to the Country and the Cricket. We can never ever have Sachin again. My heart sinks when I think he would retire today or tomorrow. We cant replace him. He has done what many just cant dream too. I can wish he plays as long as he can and delight our eyes with his extraordinary skills.Wish Sachin a very Best of Luck.
Chak de Sachin.!
