Puzzled Dreams

The prolonging notions that the cricketing maestro, Sachin Tendulkar should retire or rather should consider restricting his appearance only to certain forms of cricket, is doing the rounds since a long time! And however constant the news and views may be, it's should be a decision left to the sportsman himself. Though it has been often seen that Tendulkar hasn't been consistent in his performances, it's totally different that it should be something which should provoke the critics and fellow players to MAKE him retire from the game. And why, certain critics or players seem to agree to this opinion strongly. It's mainly because he hasn't been able to reach that 100th international century, which has been pending for so long. Regarding the ex-players, who would also have been his teammates during certain periods of time, saying that Sachin has to consider his time in ODIs is over, they should really think about it. Think about another angle to the situation. Te...

It's that day of the year again! This month of every year - February - has all the charms associated with it, due to this special day on the calendar. When there is love all over. Roses, cards, and what not. Everyone wants to wish their better-halves all the love they have for them. Be it through cards, words, or be it a romantic dinner over the candle. Anyways, it's the thought and the expression that counts. Not the material things that you can share with each other. The feeling of belonging to someone, that you would give the world for someone, is what is important! If you do feel that with or for someone, then you're lucky to feel one of the most beautiful feelings in the world - LOVE! So show some love towards everyone, for those who are experiencing it, show your special one, how special they are. And for those who are yet to hit the jackpot, don't worry, it will be there when the time is right, and you won't regret it then! And for others in general, mak...

The whole cricketing world and anyone who follows cricket even in a little most manner, would not be unknown to the recent mishaps that have happened to the Indian Cricket Team. Once, it was in England, and now, the ghosts haunted them against Australia as well. India lost all of their recent 8 Test Matches abroad. And that too in great humiliating ways. But, what is the reason to it? Earlier in England, it was said that the injuries plaguing the team, and too much of cricket during those months, was the reason. Accepted. But, what about now? What happened in Australia? As with all the things that underwent Down Under, there is a small doubt that the problems plaguing Team India are psychological rather than technical. None of the top players, were performing as was expected of them. The reasons, not yet found out. The Australians were not supposed to be such a strong team as their earlier versions, but still Team India faltered. And strangely the top official of the board stil...

What has become of the people whom we call the Representatives of the People? Yes, this question would arise in every other person's mind. Because that's the situation which exists now. The leaders of the different political parties which exist in our country, are getting more and more proficient in things that aren't what really the citizens need. Every time an election is on the way, there is a constant effort by every political party, of making the competing political party less honest and less efficient compared to their own. And after all, what is the ultimate intention? As always, the intention which has been constant all throughout the history of normal elections - the garnering of votes! The only thing that make then win or lose. And for that our dear political parties are intending to do anything. How can they be left behind? From promising complimentary goods, to providing hard cash, there would be all that would be done. And the latest option is to target ...

The power of social media isn't a new thing. The popularity of various things, has been due to the advent of the social media. The real-time sharing of almost everything online, the eye-catchy things get a lot of attention, through sharing, similar to the word-of-mouth in real-life! The recent one being the maddening popularity of the "Kolaveri Di" song. It had been a sensation on social media, and later on, it caught the attention of the national media, and a huge lot of other people. And there have been various opinions about the song too - not-so-worthy, hilarious, good tune - a mix of everything! But, the truth must be that, it's the sensational popularity of it on the social media like Twitter, Facebook, with the exponentially increasing hits on YouTube, the song became everything. Not that it liked quality though, but the national media would never have played it otherwise. Not that it lacked the quality. But there are lots of other scores which are played ...

The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks  My second book by Nicholas Sparks. And as expected, it was astonishing. A book about true love, again. In A Walk to Remember , it was about a young couple, experiencing some unique love. And in The Notebook, it's about two people, who lose themselves, and then later on, are reunited by nature. That "destined to be together" scenario. And still, life again plays it's part on them, but they stand strong with their love. How love can overcome certain things! True love, after all, comes to you. And when it is from the heart, there is nothing more valuable and respected than that! Image courtesy: Wikimedia
