Sachin Tendulkar (The Little Master)


Sachin Tendulkar the known Little Master, an icon of world cricket and synonym of batting. He had created so many records and brings laurels to the Indian Cricket. I think no other cricket player will be able the reach the heights achieved by Tendulkar. When he started his carrier, he is the youngest player in Indian team and still playing and I hope he will play the next world cup also. So much of cricket is inside him and that never ends. Tendulkar is not only a senior player of the team now but a mature person also. The way he handled the Australia tour shows his coolness and he also guide fresher / younger player in teams.

I think he will win the next World Cup for India.

If you agree please comment.

National Animal (Tiger)


From last few years our National Animal Tiger had been illegally killed on large scale by poachers for its skin, skull and bones. There are only 1,500 tigers (approx. figure) in India's reserves and jungles—down from about 3,600 just few years ago and an estimated hundred thousand a century ago, according to the government. Experts say tigers are killed for their pelts and body parts to make supply for Chinese traditional medicine market is a very big reason in the sharp decline of wild tigers in last few years. Trade of tiger’s body parts, skull, skin etc. is banned under the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES. One of the famous sanctuary ‘Sariska’ now do not have any Tiger as per the reports. Poaching had reached a level that Prime Minister himself has to intervene and initiated a mission to protect Tigers. A tiger's function in the scheme of things is to help maintain the balance in nature and if we do not take action to save the endangered species of Tigers immediately we will lost important part of our natural cycle. Awareness to save the tigers is very low among common peoples and urbanization must be done in a manner so that it does not affect the natural habitat of any species.
