Twinkle Twinkle Little Star....Sachin is the superstar
The Maestro of world Cricket our own little master sachin tendulkar wrote a new chapter in the history books...adding to his tally of records....the highest run scorer in one dayers...Most One day Centuries....Most Test Centuries...the master blaster when on 15 went past the west indian batting sensation Brian Charles Lara to become the Highest Run Scorer in the Longer Version of the game....

When Dreams catch the Moon...
When i read a few months back about India's proposed unmanned mission to the moon- Chandrayaan-1 (the voyage to the moon), i was really thrilled simply for the reason that the so called journey to "space supremacy" for India had finally begun...I for one believed it was high time we start aiming for the stars and beyond...well this journey to the mooon is the starting point....it's not far when One lucky Indian would do the Neil Armstrong- "One small step for an Indian One Giant Leap for Indian Space Research"...
This whole episode reminded me of our ex-president Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam....this is my salute to a great man and for all his contributions to this great country and its space research...'Wings of Fire' is truly awe-inspiring...

Language....
What Language does the Wind Speak...is it the sound...or the music....
What Language does the Flower Speak...is it the color...or the fragrance...
what language does the Ocean Speak....is it the waves... or the froth...
What Language does Love speak....is it the eyes...or the lips...
If you understand the language of nature...you no longer need the human language...
If you understand the language of heart...the human does not need language....
Awesome aint it...well not mine though....here's the original...
