From Pratyush's Diary
TIME magazine describes Sachin Tendulkar
"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.
When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.
It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."
This was posted on Quora under "Who is Sachin Tendulkar?"
Though I couldn't trace it in TIME's archives, it inspires none the less.
Work In Progress
If you’re not embarrassed when you ship your first version you waited too long.Apple
As a coder, it has always been a dream to develop my own blogging/CMS platform. Something where you can plug-in anything - anywhere.
I am finally moving from Tumblr to my own blogging platform. Though it is nowhere near to complete, releasing it would at-least keep me going. So here is the version One.Dot.O.
Stay tuned, lots and lots of interesting things are queued up!!!

Job's note to his wife for their 20th anniversary
We didn’t know much about each other twenty years ago. We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet. It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee. Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times. Our love and respect has endured and grown. We’ve been through so much together and here we are right back where we started 20 years ago - older, wiser - with wrinkles on our faces and hearts. We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we’re still here together. My feet have never returned to the ground.
