I dream Dreams.

It was in August 1992 that I was brought to this city of dreams….All we got was a scooter, a color television and some Rs.25,000 (salaries used to be starting from 300-400 in the eighties)….we had no idea what life would be like…..we just came.

19 years later, I’m a doctor working at one of the best hospitals in the city….life looks settled after going through all these years of hardships, hard work, ups and downs in life, never losing hope…just the dreams in my eyes…the burning desire to make it big in life, among the greats one day…I couldn’t be happier at this junction of my life.

Every single day I crave to be at AHIRC casualty….the sense of pride to dress smartly….formally…branded clothes…my trademark sunglasses...all from my hard earned money...then driving to work at more than 100 plus speeds…I feel alive every moment now…I had never thought life could be so great coming out of a government hospital….the world of losers, narrow minded souls, the corrupt officers, inhuman condition to work, no job satisfaction……I had never enjoyed myself away from creativity, always studying….Now I really feel I have arrived…..my confidence is over the roof…the desire is burning more fiercely now.

I am also so surprised that so many people from my LTMMC ‘05 batch would be so jealous that I’m doing well in life… “ Guys, your higher marks in the exams do not guarantee that you are a better doctor….It’s just your misconception that you know more than me”….I only laugh on reaching home on those narrow minded ‘un grown’ boys and girls (not mature enough to be called doctors).

Well, the studies seem to be going fine….job is awesome….business ideas in the hospitality industry popping up in my head from time to time…there is so much to learn from everyday life…Now, I have realized how easy it is to be the ‘deserving’ doctor SAHEB for people…50% of them feel good the moment a doctor opens his/her mouth….the faith, the confidence…the trust builds up right there…. I will never stop clinical medicine in spite of my MBA aspirations, it really is very satisfying.

On a lighter note, I admit to have had crushes, been in love (no relationship), had my heart broken….it’s just that career was always the priority….there was no time for love….but I guess it’s time now to find some worthy enough of my love..…(dream girl, if you are reading this, do get in touch).

Just wanting to work harder now…I want to really try out in life what I have always trusted in… “If you believe in the beauty of your dreams, then nothing is impossible”….can’t wait to see the future unfold….see what destiny I’m born with….thank you God for all these wonderful years….You really have been kind to me ‘FINALLY’….been there to give me strength always…my pillar of support…as my best friend…Love You….Hope to see happier years ahead !!

The God of Cricket

NOTE- NOT AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF WORK.... The Following are few of the best quotes about the genius...the Little Master...the Master Blaster....undoubtedly the most loved Indian.... SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR.

Mark Taylor(Aus)
''We did not lose to a team called India, we lost to a man called Sachin''

Brian Lara(WI)
"I want my son to become Sachin Tendulkar.....Sachin is a genius, I am a mere Mortal."

Hashim Amla(SA)
'Nothing bad can happen to us if we were on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it.''

Waqar Younis(Pak)''He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also.

Andy Flower(ZIM)''There are 2 kind of batsman in the world. 1 Sachin Tendulkar and 2. all the others .

Matthew Hayden(AUS.)"I have seen God. He bats at no.4 for India in tests.

Don Bradman(AUS)
"I see myself when I see Sachin batting.

Australian Fan
"Do your crime when Sachin is batting, because even God is busy watching his batting.

BBC Sports
Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.

Shane Warne
I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.

Anil Kumble
"I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!"

Andrew Symonds
"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
What Symonds wrote on an Aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin.

Peter Roebuck
"On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!!"

Brett Lee
You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick.

Steve Waugh
It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don.

Michael Kasprowicz
Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours.

Greg Chappell
He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease.

Barack Obama - "I don't know about cricket but still I watch cricket to see Sachin play..Not b'coz I love his play its because I want to know the reason why my country's production goes down by 5 percent when he's in batting"...

Mere Khwab

Aakhen band karte hii

Madhmast main ho jata hoon

Adhure khwabon aur sapnon ko

Main phir pura hote pata hoon.

Takdir mein kya hai lika

Bhala kaun batla pate hain

Hum toh unn musaffiron mein hain

Jo tanha, aage badte jate hain.

Pana chahta hoon woh mukaam,

Umeed se pare hai jo iss tann se

Zindagi ko aazmane ki

Ek khwahish hai iss komal mann mein.

Shram aur mehnat ke dum pe

Kash bahut naam aur shohrat ho jaye

Aas hai marne se pehle

Bass mere khwab pure ho jayein.
