			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m blatantly copying this section from <a href="http://churumuri.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/the-bandra-bomber-vs-the-kid-from-kanjurmarg/">Churmuri</a> who copied (took the quote) it from Time Magazine! I think the title of this post tell everyone that what I feel for this man!</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“When <b>Sachin Tendulkar</b> travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, <b>Michael Schumacher</b> was yet to race a F1 car, <b>Lance Armstrong</b> had never been to the Tour de France, <b>Diego Maradona</b> was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, <b>Pete Sampras</b> had never won a Grand Slam.</p>
<p>“When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming <b>Imran Khan</b> and company, <b>Roger Federer</b> was a name unheard of; <b>Lionel Messi</b> was in his nappies, <b>Usain Bolt</b> was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, <b>Dr Manmohan Singh</b> was yet to “open” the Nehruvian economy&#8221;</p>
<p>“It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of <b>Sachin Tendulkar</b>. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.”</p>

<div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in;">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is one of the email that forwarded to me by one of my dear friend &#8220;Chintu&#8221; &#8211; his real name is Nikhil and I&#8217;m thankful to him for sharing it with me and I thought that it should be shared with the world and so here&#8217;s this wonderful point that some guy named Naren wrote. I&#8217;ve to say &#8211; Naren, brilliant thoughts!!!</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dearest Friends,</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are leaving for a holiday to Lakshwadeep this May. Fantastic preparations have been done. The train reservations are in place. Enough information has been gathered on the places to visit and things to do. The right kind of clothing, the necessary medicines, the anticipatory boredom tackling schemes have been discussed in details.</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The best place to stay has been booked. A few local contacts too have been found. The right company for the holidays have been identified, convinced and enthused.</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The holidays are still more than a month away. We leave on 6th of May. But everyday there is a discussion on how to make the holidays the best ever. For brilliant memories, a camera, a handicam, enough spare batteries have already found there way to the luggage.</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This makes me wonder. We plan so well for the holidays. Most of us do not plan our life so well. Why?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Is it because holidays sound ‘fun’ and life not so?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Is it because holidays are a break from routine and life is routine?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Is it because holidays are an escape and life to me looks like a bondage?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Is it because I look forward to holidays while I look behind in life?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kya baat hai? Sochoooo mmmm?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Like Farhan Akhtar croons in the movie ‘Rock on’…</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Socha Hai Kya Tumne Kya Kabhi?</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Socha Nahi to Socho Abhiiiiiii…</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Happy holidays,</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">With love, prayers and best wishes,</span></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">naren</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #990000; font-family: Verdana;">Ok this is one of the forwards which I got.. and I think its just super duper correct..!!!! I think he should be kept in jail and shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to address public. Anyway.. enjoy the forward&#8230;.</span></p>
<p><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #990000; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #000000;"><font><font><font size="3"><span style="color: #990000;">We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more&#8230;</span></font></font></font></p>
<p>1. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don&#8217;t study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school<br />
2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi<br />
3. Prime-minister, President and all other leaders should only be from Delhi<br />
4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.<br />
5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men<br />
6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals<br />
7. Lord Shiva, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)</p>
<p>8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only<br />
9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?</p>
<p>10. Let&#8217;s support kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and injuring innocent people for benifit of there state and community&#8230; &#8230;</p>
<p>11. Let&#8217;s throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world .</p>
<p>12. Let&#8217;s stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi<br />
13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states<br />
14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside<br />
15. We should STOP using local trains&#8230; Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari<br />
16. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi&#8217;s</p>
<p>This should somehow reach Raj Thackrey so forward it to as many people as possible.</span><br /></span></p>

<p>Because I&#8217;ve always lived away from beaches and in the hot summers or really cold summers of Delhi, I&#8217;d a fascination with beaches and always loved to visit them..whenever I got a chance. However, even though I&#8217;ve been in Chennai from last 1 and half months I&#8217;ve hardly given visits to the beaches.</p>
<p>Although, one fine day I visited the beach and I&#8217;m glad that I did. The beaches over here are much clean and I&#8217;ve noticed that people do take care as well by keeping things neat and clean. Very unlike rest of India.</p>
<p>The combination of cool breeze and the cool friends Shashank &amp; Anubhav make the beach even more loveable <img src='http://www.mayankgupta.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . I&#8217;m wondering about the time when both these guys will leave Chennai&#8230;what the hell will I do!!!!!</p>
