Sachin Tendulkar

"Few, if any, sportsmen have been so loved through their career, even by their opponents, as Tendulkar was. It usually happens in retirement, or close to it, with the mellow glow of insight, when the threat of defeat is over. In Tendulkar's case it happened in the heat of battle, through white-line fever, even as he was carving apart the opposing attack. "

"Never a commentator nor a coach, he's faded somewhat from the limelight (so much so that Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul picked Kohli over Tendulkar on that show.) New gods have taken his place, performing amazing new feats, setting new records. But here's what I really miss about Sachin Tendulkar: not once in all those years did he ask me, and other non-fans, to leave the country."

Interview with Mahesh Bhatt

Ronaldo

• "But it is when the chips are really down that Ronaldo always shows up."
• "But it is his ability to produce when it really matters that makes him so special."
• "Juventus’s Champions League dream, though, goes on. In black and white there were heroes everywhere, but one hero stood out head and shoulders above the rest (quite literally for two of his goals) and that was the Champions League’s greatest player ever, Cristiano Ronaldo."

Vanished Friend

Around the Corner
Charles Hanson Towne

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him",
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
