Sania-Shoaib to play mix-doubles!

Well as the news broke of Sania Mirza, India's answer to Anna Kournikova, getting married to Shoaib Malik, presently estranged pakistani cricketer, analysis, arguments, debates and newshour discussions are bound to follow.
So totally acknowledging their personal right to marry anybody (on planet or outside), I would still like to stick my neck out and try to relate the publicly perceived personality they carry (in particular Sania) vs this choice.
For starters, do you know how many followers Shoaib Malik had on twitter till yesterday ? (Btw, yes he too tweets, total 34, 10% coming in last 20 hours alone).
When I checked after the news first came on Indian news channels Shoaib had 85 followers, which is much lesser than many of my cousins' who are close to 12 years.
Come on, now what does twitter has to do with someone getting married ? Well nothing till you are not a celebrity but the moment you are suppose to have fans/followers a lot can be gauged from twitter world. And if you still are wondering about all this logic then check the Malik's followers' number now, some 24 hours later the news broke, 1476 !!
So you see suddenly Malik seems to have gained popularity even while serving an official ban from playing cricket, something which is the prime reason people should have been following him. And is the boy excited, well you can say so, 3 tweets in last 25 hours, he can't wait to let the whole world know !
This whole difference in the brand value of Sania and Shoiab and not the International boundaries is something they need to watch out for. More so when Sania is known to be (at least pretend to be) a sort of rebel and can definitely go an extra mile to prove her point or to remain in the center of attraction all the time. Of course we can stop speculating someone's personal decisions but then didn't I disclaimed in the beginning itself. :)
So Sania-n-Sohaib here's wishing you a rocking mix doubles !!

Give me Another Chance.....

How easy was it for many to connect with this song from 3 idiots says a lot about the validity of the argument.
Argument or the need to get restarted, many a times things go so monotonous that we just want to dump the viscous cycle and feel the desperate need to restart once more. And then procrastinators like me, they just spends years in search of that perfect Monday (or weekend) after which everything will get organized and tasks will start happening in s streamline fashion. Alas ! your procrastinator wins every single time, for not that its too strong early in the morning but infact its focusing on the small little battles (like delaying bath till lunch) when the alter ego is just busy in fascinating the victory and hoping continuously against the hope. :(
But does this means its a gone case ? I hope not. A least not till the time one has got the ultimate source to bank upon, our shame !
So yes I'll get rid of this series of failures and get in to virtuous cycle where the more work one does the more busy world wants to see him. Give me some sunshine....give me some rain....give me another chance and I'll grow big from here itself. :)

Amen !

P.S. By the way this post coming on late in a Monday night speaks loads about the problem.

Well, I don't think anything is required to be added to this thought provoking article :-

Character and Strength

I always wondered, what makes few characters strong and others not ?
And after a lot of analysis, primarily of people I met or (believe to) know through different media, I am ready to submit a partial theory to begin with :-
There can't be any Character without Strength.
To discuss this any further we need to define both "Character" and 'Strength" a bit more :-
Character
A set of principles or guidelines, not necessarily positive, a person can be trusted to stick too, come what may. So broadly this divides humans in to two major sphere's few whose response to certain situations can be predicted and others who vary their response based on consideration or vested interest (namely hypocrites). This somehow is what the entire selection into defense is based upon. Their whole probing/grilling (hope you have faced SSB sometimes) is to find out candidates who will follow orders/training learnings irrespective of petty calculations.
Strength
A driving force allowing individual to propagate and take decisions/stances. Now strength in itself can be of many kinds both internal or external. Somebody can be stinky rich and thus can easily afford to let profit making opportunity go for his/her believes/convictions, or a sheer hardworker never shy of putting extra hours without worrying for outcome as such. But all kind of strengths require some degree of will power and vision as platform to lay their foundations to. Examples can be Mahatama Gandhi, Sachin Tendulkar to Adolf Hitler or Great Alexander.

Conclusion:
Its obviously too complex a topic to be covered under one blog and too open to be concluded at all but roughly I would never risk trusting some one for good or bad till am not sure of his/her strength which can be mental,physical,financial anything.
So, there can't be any character without strength !

Time

Why for me (Seasoned Procrastinator) there are only two stages between the decision day to the delivery day, one where I feel there's more than enough time to start and the other when I realise that time is too little to worry for quality.

Looks, time comes only in two packets --> Abundance or Scarcity.

Sachin and Patriortism

Well just watched :-
Sachin's knock against Australia at Hyderabad

Obviously saying/typing anything more for Sachin will be like adding water to ocean. So instead I would like to limit to bullet points :-

• This match at the beginning was all about Sachin crossing the 17000 mark but by the the end do we realize the man has already covered 17% of the next milestone 18000 !
• Such is the greatness of Sachin and thanks to him so many admirers/critics are generating moolah participating in the surreal phenomenon ......S.R.Tendulkar.
  
• There's always a talk of India losing inspite of Sachin playing his heart out, but then let's not forget the importance of fundamentals, Sachin is not mere brilliant, he' prepares maximum among all 22 players before any match and to get similar results India team and Indian cricket system have to incorporate similar (even 25%) discipline.

And talking of current Indian team I guess players are good but just need a little break to reorganize a bit. Today's other good performers were Raina and Jadeja out of which former has already proved his quality as limited over batsman and latter certainly needs to be given more chances as I would like to bet on his temperament more than that of the immediate option Virat Kohli.
