The daffodil dance

When William Wordsworth penned it down,

Golden daffodils painted the town,

Was it the flowers or the flowing stream,

Was it the solitude or his dream. 

I cannot tell what poets do,

Inspirations, imaginations, or just a singing cuckoo,

All I know, my mind blinds off,

Starts galloping like a horse.

It takes control of my thoughts

Holds my will as a wrought,

Penning it down is the only aim

Nothing works, no excuse lame. 

Today was such definite day

Down the stairs, I pave my way

I feel the breeze in my hair

The sun shines somewhere.

Listening to the rustle of autumn dry

The white cumulus flocks the sky,

The moment of smile, a sigh of relief 

Tonite with sleep, I would do a thief. 

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - My hero, I hail to thee!!

When Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar started playing cricket, majority of the players in the Indian Nathional Cricket Team were attending kindergarden.

Under the influence of the world, I used to cheer for SRT. It was world cup 1992 when i started understanding cricket. Sachin was Jersey number 6. I started following his games. I do not much technical understanding of the game, neither do i intended to. What impressed and influence me was the commitment. It was far away from his team mates, from his seniors. (90% of the team was senior to him).

And then came Sharjah cup 1998. Whoa, what matches. And the game which I will forever remember, which made Sachin my hero. The desert storm game. The storm starts, the players leave the field, no one near the pitch, and SRT standing tall, with his bat, on the middle of the pitch, waiting for the storm to end. Nature bowed to his dedication and will power, and the match continued, and the SRT store continued. Shane Warne did enjoy it the most.

That incident is printed on my mind forever. A very rare sight seen in today's world. I consider myself real lucky to witness this little man's great work.

SRT, just for the Sharjah Cup 2008, accept my standing ovation. You are my inspiration, for life. To have the willpower to win over all complexities of life, stand tall, and persevere to excel.
ucky to witness this little man's great work.
