Beautiful lines I read : 1

If you don't get what you want, you suffer.
If you get what you don't want, you suffer.
If you get exactly what you want,
You still suffer because you can't hold onto it forever.


From the book Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman

One of my many dreams fulfilled

Oct 12 2008
Chinnaswamy Stadium
Bangalore
Day 4 of Test match, India vs Australia

One of my role models, Sourav Ganguly.
He certainly is one of the greatest cricketers world cricket ever had.
Look for aggession, look unto Dada.
The name most Australians hate.
Trade mark beautiful front-foot sixers.
Only next to God on off-side.
Royal Bengal Tiger.
A never-dying Phoenix.
Thesaurus to come back.
Most successful captain(till now) Indian cricket ever had.
Controversies? Which person on earth does not get involved?

It was my dream. A dream for over 13 years. Watch Sourav in person. Today it turned out to be a reality. Seeing him play for India in his last test series. A very gr8 feeling.
