Hope is a good thing !

Sometime life brings us to a point where logic leads to difficult situations ahead but people who stay hopeful comes brilliantly out of it. Needless to say the dialogue from Shawshank Redemption is truly legendary " Hope is good thing ",indeed it is the best thing..

When I look and analyze various kinds of individuals, I found that people who have very strong belief in God tends to do better than others. The faith in God gives them hope that they will do well in life and odds are with them. This leads to increased passion of achieving things which may not seem plausible if looked with reason. Religion provides hope to people and is very important as it leads to positive outcome in life.

Second category of people who I feel at times achieve much more than their potential are the one who are little stubborn, cocky as they tend to remain confident about their abilities and this hope leads to better results..

I feel that Logic by no means is second to hope but when logic seems to be not helping and their are no more option left for someone, Hope is a good Thing !

Some of the Best Quotes for God !

These are some of the quotes I love to read again and again ! Its like listening to Bhajans .

From Cricket Legends

"Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal" ~ Brian Charles Lara

"If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard." Dennis Lillee

" I saw him (Sachin) playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel. " Sir Don Bradman.

"Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has
many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
world" - Allen Donald

"He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease." - Greg Chappell

"I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of Cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that's going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he's 99.5% perfect" - Viv Richards

Some from Twitter by Tendulkar Fans

" ICC announced that Sachin Tendulkar's b'day i.e. 24th April will be will be celebrated as "World Cricket Day"

" A cricket fact - Most of the countries have history in playing cricket but INDIA has SACHIN TENDULKAR to rewrite it "

" All kneel down and praise whatever God you fancy for the mighty Sachin Tendulkar. "

" Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives." BBC

" I'm hounored to take birth in the same Land, I'm blessed to breathe the same air, and I'm fortunate to see god in True Sense, No words to describe this great Man , Thanks Sir Sachin ! Kudos ! " Abhishek Mahajan via SMS

"They say that God created the world – the grossly flawed world that we know and live in. Sachin created another world where in people live in pure harmony till the time he is on the pitch. No egos are hurt when a guy in a Mercedes comes to a autowallah with a radio and asks “Kitne pe khel raha hai??“. There are no class distinctions when outside a TV showroom you can see people with expensive clothes standing alongside street vendors looking at the screens – all with the same wish in their hearts. And a world where a whole nation can rise with one voice if something goes against the God. Where else can you find such a homogeneous world?"-Sidharth Bedi


I believe time is ripe for Indian government to award him Bharat Ratna , Oxford to include the word Tendulkar in their Dictionaries, Ms-Word to recognize Tendulkar as a word and Tendulkar critics to bow in front of him and go to Himalayas .
