There is very little in this world that gives me more pleasure, than to watch (or read about) this man play.
It is one of those days, when the sun does not need to shine. It is gloriously bright, alrite!!
Vigbert
Originally named Deerghakantha Vinayaka Chenna Reddy, he is a two time national tennis champion and three time winner of the Gaganmahal Open. His signature "over the net" returns have since revolutionalised the art of ungainly balance while facing 150 mph serves. Though widely known as the guy who taught Andre Agassi how to score with chicks, Vigbert has also been instrumental in setting up several support groups around the world for the follicle-ly challenged sportsmen. Now, having retired to a more modest role as a feline enthusiast, he spends most of his time watching Ekta Kapoor serials and chairing the international scouting council for promising Lingocha players.
Sharad Ragas
Often referred to as the "worst badminton player to have never played for India", SR has tormented fans and detractors alike, with his inimitable lack of talent. His on-court verbal assaults on players resulted in two fractured ribs and a broken marriage. He has since drifted to less popular games like cricket, and now acts as career counsellor to out-of-work coaches of the sub continent's cricket teams. Currently under review for inappropriate behaviour at the Domalguda Ganesh Chaturdhi celebrations, if found guilty, could be a part of the next season of Bigg Boss. Likes bhangra songs and curd rice.
Partha
An ardent Ricky Ponting fan, who infamously refused to play for the national cricket team due to differences with the management on the exclusion of "gutthi vankaya koora" from the team's diet menu. He is also notorious for having told Dada off (in Bengali) for his poor off-side play and timid captaincy tactics. His leg spinning option has since never served the national team, and now bowls at the nets to aspiring cricketers in Bermuda. Author of two unpublished books, "If you are an Aussie and you know it, STFU" and "ECB - Saviour of World Cricket", Partha is touted as the next in line for the Booker Prize 2009 for his innovative style of writing and raspy remarks. Sometimes writes for unworthy blogs, as a marketing strategy and wears two pairs of glasses, as his personal fashion statement.

Sachin defines the very sport itself. sigh, all I could do was read.. wonder when I'll get to watch him play!
"because even the Lord is watching.."
How many subjects can get away with a 'loaded' line like that sung in their praise...?
And have a billion fanatics who are elated each time they read it, as if they were at the receiving end?
Ah well, we know 'one' who can!!!
P.S: This is definitely going on my blog. =))
That line is going down in history. Trust me!! =)
God is being kind to us, nowadays.
Had to tell you this.
I got to see him play, this sunday.
Did the mandatory and much cherished.. "Sachiiin.. Sachin"... chants along with the whole stadium. :D
I must admit, I am more than a tad jealous.
The only cricket match I ever went to had the likes of Azharuddin and Kapildev in it.. and I dont even remember Sachin playing that match. 1989, I think it was..
