Sachin strikes...still India cries...

Yesterday was quite a rare feeling every Indian Cricket lover would have felt for Indian team & Sachin...being an ardent fan of cricket I went home following the score all the way from office...I felt since it is crucial encounter Sachin might have bogged down to pressure & got out...

When I reached home...India were 200/4 and to my Surprise Sachin was still in the crease completing his Hundred & as energetic and focussed he was 20years back...Yesterday I felt like seeing a much younger Sachin with full of energy even after fighting for more than 2hours in the crease...He was focused,brave,encouraging players in the other end & he was playing like never before...I started praying to God that we should win this match & Sachin score the first 200 in the History of One day cricket.

India was cruishing towards Victory with 80odd runs to win with a decent required run rate..Sachin reached his 150 & he was as powerful when he opened the innings....Raina mistimed a Hook shot & he got out...There was little disappointment but it was Sachin whom everyone was watching at...

Then came the Young Jadeja...he was Sachin's experience old...20years..still I could see Sachin running faster and playing more energetic shots....we were cruishing very close to Victory and it was like we needed 22odd runs almost run a ball..the match was like we are gonna win...Fate struct India & Sachin as a mistimed shot proved very costly...Sachin misjudged a slow delivery & was caught in the Fine leg...and the rest is just History...We lost the match by 4runs...

Everytime India loses we either abuse our players for poor cricket or bad strategy...but this time I could not convince myself that we lost the match..it was out and out Sachin who brought this match to that level...and finally we could not speak a word..We all would have forgotten that it's just a game & only one can win.But the pain of losing a match when we dream about Victory is more painfull...

Sachin then came out for the presentation ceremony & when the Commentrator annonced his name for winning yet another man of the match...I couldn't see the little master walking down to collect with dignity....we all could never forget Sachin's words that he just love to play for the country & thats what carries him all the way...

This match was like losing a lover Sachin in the love of cricket....but the hero is always Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar..Cricket's God in action...

The Korean struggle...

After a long time I wanted to write a Blog Entry on my changing life & changing attitude on the influenza I caught after I got into this Korean Struggle..Every now & then we all dream from childhood to visit a Foreign country...On May 2nd 2009 I started off to Korea on a bussiness trip. I was excited,energetic & enthusiastic as ever.

As Soon as I came here, I got news that my boss dad passed away & he was in leave for a week. Life was little good during those days when I used to sit for 12-14hours a day. Simply doing some work here & there. I felt I was in a alien land with Bruce Lee & jackie chan's around..

Then the Lion came back & the struggle started.I was sitting in the office all the time & sat more in weekends & infact the week never ended. I felt tired all the time, drooping eyes & drowning mind with sorrowful faces around...we still laughed like begger's laughter...we still had fun with the will to live & push life harder as the tough keeps going.I ran & ran...I forgot that there is something called evenings in life..I can only see nights,mornings & lunch inbetween to greet the sun. Life ran so fast that I only felt am in a train.65days passed so fast & still am running it hard. I work for almost 16hours a day on a average & many times worked overnight also.Manydays,I used to count the hours left for me to go back to office & try to sleep as quickly as possible to feel the sleep..sometimes I missed it too.Life is little more a struggle than difficult. I pushed myself hard & felt locked up in a Korean Jail with permission to guest house for food & sleep.

Life's sounding like difficult,but the best part is I felt I missed small things which I never wondered I want in my life or maybe always there in my life. I missed my 8 hours sleep,Saturdays & Sundays, fresh mondays or mornings,Idly & Dosa though I had Indian food. I felt life is going to be very good from now as I'm going back to my mother nation & life cannot be tougher.But the stay extended as usual.

Everytime I feel am upset on my lifestyle, i used to think the days which were so normal those days sounding like a pleasant memory.The days I used to leave office on time,have fun in the friend's place.I was hardly able to think much as work was always loading me all the time & I really feel am lost in work. I could hardly see a world outside this diameter.Life is so very different.
It is 70odd days in this Foriegn country with one or two visits outside & 2days out of office. Maybe a struggle but it makes me think how much I've changed. I wanted a lot in life before,but now I cant count anything which I feel I need.I feel I have everything, still not using anything. I will not say I'm Sanyasi,but I would say I've realised the toughness of life.I've realised 100bucks is still energiser yet the pain is more!! I have the heart to face any struggle going forward, seeing myself more confident than ever.More optimistic & a will to win all the time.Maybe I dont wanna live like this as every struggle should end as it has always been & every struggle sows success seeds.Maybe, this is yet an another accident,rather this is yet another incident in life or a phase in life I could never forget.

Jackpot

Manytimes in life I've felt I'm lucky.I get things right in the right time.But sometimes I used to wonder if my lucky life also would be luckier..than the right proportions of luck I get in life....And yes,it happened this week.12.5kbucks in less than half an hour...Can u believe it?Well,I will tell how? :-)

Tuesday morning I came back from Chennai & I was little tired....Soon as I came to office I logged into the stock trader terminal as usual & in a hurry I thought of the usual strategy(dumb) of bidding 40TCS for 450...in which I will gain around 800 if it clicks...this strategy I was trying for a week then without luck... :P

Then when I verified,to my surprise I saw the deal was completed at 490(Current Price)...I was blamming my fate & when I turned back to the price..it was shooting upto 497 in a second...I was thrilled & I did a Bid to sell at 510....to my surprise it crossed 510 within seconds..& I was happy to complete my deal with a profit of 800 in 10minutes...

The real story begins now...When I verified my account it was showing 410shares in the net holding..I was really surprised to see this...The current price went up to 515 & I was at 25Rs profit for every share I sell...God that's the jackpot....It was like luck riding me....I was really happy to see this & tried immedietly to sell....But luck again favoured me...I was not able to sell!!!

I tried to sell in many different ways & still the stock exchange was reject my plea. I was confused a lot,but happy that price was only up to my surprise.I spent some 10minutes to sell,then I decided to call up the customer care to sell the shares for me...By this time the share value shoot up to 520,30Rs profit per share....wowo....Soon as when some picked up...they were telling some procedures to do intraday trading & stuff...again my try was failing, so I called up the traders line to sell the shares.

Finally I sold 410shares at an average of 521....& I made a ransom of 12.8K in a short time of less than half an hour....Well,if at all the extra bit of luckier luck didn't hit me I would have never had the guts to buy such a bug volume & if at all I knew how to sell,I wouldn't have reached this big a profit...I made all that profit just because I did not know how to sell the shares I bought.Sometimes life gives you riches even if u didn't feel it....again a positive accident indeed....
