37 and still going strong...

Yes I am talking about the legend ‘Sachin Tendulkar’. The man with 93 centuries in all forms of international cricket and more than 30,000 runs is still going strong!! People back in India regard him as the God of cricket, infact many people just watch cricket because of this legend. The little master or master blaster has mended his path all the way from a little guy to a legend. He is regarded as the second best batsmen in test cricket after Sir Don Bradman and the second best batsmen in one day cricket after Vivian Richards. The legend of spin Shane Warne himself has said that Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest player he has played against. Sachin was the only player of this generation to be selected in Bradman’s XI. He has been able to bag many awards including the prestigious Padma Shri award and Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award. He is not only a wonderful cricketer but also a modest human being. In his first interview when asked was he feeling scared to be selected for the Indian cricket team at such a young age (16), he replied he has no problems even facing the then fast bowlers of West Indies like Courtney Walsh, Curtly Ambrose etc. Though he was not successful as a captain he still is regarded as a born leader. He has led his IPL team to the final of the third edition rubbishing his critics who said that he cannot perform as a captain. But the question is why doesn’t he play for India in T20I’s? He says that he is not comfortable with this format, so why does he play IPL and still becomes the highest run getter in the tournament? He has got to clear his stand on this controversy. Talking about controversies Sachin was involved in couple of controversies in his 20 year career including Mike Denness incident and Ferrari custom waiver incident. Still he has overcome every hurdle in his life and is leading a successful personal and professional life. Talking about his personal life, he got married on 25^th may 1995 to Anjali. He runs two restaurants in Mumbai named “Sachin’s” and “Tendulkar’s”. He has two children – one boy and one girl. The master blaster is hoping to play in 2011 world cup to be played in the sub-continent and is looking good both with his form and fitness. He is the guy who can lead the Indian team to the world cup trophy. Though being such a great batsman, Sachin has never won a world cup. Maybe this is the time he gets to achieve this feat!! Good luck to this great player for his future endeavours and congratulations for his past achievements.

FAILURE OF BJP's "RENAISSANCE" ?

A new hope had risen for the BJP and NDA government when Nitin Gadkari was appointed the president of national BJP. He earlier was the president of BJP Maharashtra. Sushma Swaraj also succeeded LK Advani as the Leader of Opposition. Their new ideology of following the secular idea of our nation, initiated by Mr. Gadkari did not last for long. BJP is well known for its ideology of supporting and promoting Hinduism as was in the case of Babri masjid. In fact Mr. Gadkari himself derailed their short-lived project by making a comment on Muslims. The project also got a massive blow when the Babri masjid case got murkier following a statement made by Anju Gupta that Mr. Advani had provoked the people for the demolition of the masjid!! BJP is fast losing its track from national politics and becoming a religious group provoking people for riots and disgraceful actions. They are not only failing in their new ideologies but also are failing as a party. They lost their second consecutive general elections. Their recent plan of cut motion of the national budget was cut short by their own people (Shibu Soren). Narendra Modi is another factor for the downfall of BJP. He still is the CM of Gujarat but the question is how long will he last? How long will he be using the old ideology of BJP? The Gujarat police have even found evidence of his role in Gujarat riots!! There are many more corrupt and non-secular people in BJP. India is a secular nation!! People are beginning to understand the stupid logics of BJP. Why can't BJP change its ideology rather than changing people's mind to follow their ideology? Its high time BJP does something to change their conception about people and moreover about Indian politics. ABVP is another factor for its failure. It has lost its popularity among the students and it has just become an organization which is now-a-days known for its strikes and bandhs in all educational institutions across the country. The people and organizations involved in BJP are only the reason for the downfall of BJP. Isn't this the beginning of the end for BJP?
