What Does Loving Someone Mean?
Does loving someone or something mean that I have to hate everyone and everything else??
Why can't I like 'Akki Roti' if I like 'Aaloo Paratha'? Why can't I like 'Salman' if I like 'Shahrukh'? Why can't I like 'Physics' if I like 'Java'? Why can't I like 'Rahul' if I like 'Sachin'? Why can't I like 'Dell' if I like 'HP'? Why can't I like 'The Shawshank Redemption' if I like 'Andaz Apna Apna'? Why can't I like '100M Sprint' if I like 'Cricket'? Why can't I like 'Mc Veggie' if I like 'Pani Poori'? Why can't I like AMD if I like Intel?
Why do I have to 'choose' everytime I try to love someone or something? I feel choosing is worse than loosing. If you loose someone or something, it's not your fault. It was either your bad luck or you don't deserve etc etc. But the moment you choose, you end up with just 'nothing'.
Quite often I feel like whenever somebody tells me that he/she loves someone or something, he/she is actually showing his/her hatred towards rest of the world.
I never get this. Let me know if you get the answer. And if you do get the answer, you are truly in love.

I'm not gonna miss SACHIN
I don't have words, yet i'm here. I don't have anything which I can post on my wall or tweet. Still I want to write, I want to talk. I want to show the gratitude, I want to say thanks. I am completely numb. But i'm not gonna mourn. It would be an act of disrespect. When a warrier returns from the war, broken and wounded, we don't mourn. We celebrate his victory. Sachin is my warrier who has returned after battling for almost quarter of a century, battling against all the odd, standing tall, never shaken, never broken.
He always was, and he always will be my hero. It doesn't matter if he is on the field or not, He'll always inspire me to do better, like he has always done. Nothing in this world is for eternity. It's a fact, and I have to live with that. I just thank him for all he has done for more than 1,220,200,000 people and everybody in this world for over 24 long years. Most of us don't even have the courage to do the same thing, even for a limited period of time, continuously. He has done it. He has done it for me, for us, for India.
He has not only tried to keep himself upto everyone's expectations, but tried his level best to do that, without thinking about his family, his health, his personal life etc etc. After all the criticism, all the bad things, which came to his way, any ordinary human like me would definitely have given up. But he never stopped. Stood tall against everything and delivered.
But, afterall he is a human being, like me, like you and like everybody else in this world. Someday, we too will grow old, old enough that we won't be able to do the things which we would do with perfection till that time. Perhaps, then we'll understand this law of nature. Usually people think about me as a freak, a Sachin freak, but it's not just about cricket, not just about Sachin. It's about dedication, it's about perfection, it's about principles, it's about hard work, it's about values and it's about everything I have learned from him. It's much much more than just being a Sachin freak.
Now, there is a void which nobody will be able to consume. But I have lots of memories, good memories and I am satisfied with that. I am satisfied with whatever he has done, whatever he has given. Cricket would never be the same for me. But there are certain things which cannot be replaced, there are certain people who cannot be replaced.
He has taught me to dream big, think big and do big. He'll always be there with me, inspiring me, encouraging me, teaching me how to try for better, how to do better. Even if you are at the top, even if you have everything.
"Chase ur dreams, dreams do come true."
