(Rules permit corrupt people like Lallu,Madam,Karunanidhi,Shibu Soren to be Ministers/extra constitutional authority.)
Change the Rules.
The calls for bestowing Sachin Tendulkar with the ‘Bharat Ratna‘ may have got louder after India‘s World Cup triumph but giving the country’s highest civillian honour to the batting icon would require tweaking of the criteria that has been laid down for the coveted award.
The ‘Bharat Ratna’ was started in 1954 and has so far been given to 41 eminent personalities, none of whom are sports-persons, the reason being the criteria for the coveted honour.
Constitutional expert Subhash Kashyap says given the current rules “Tendulkar does not qualify for the honour and giving the award to him would require a change in the rules.”
According to the criteria at present, the award is given for exceptional contribution in the fields of art, literature, science and social service. The criteria does not have any mention of sports.
During World Cup 2011,Yuvraj said that his changed approach to the game ,calmness on/off the field and better performances to a mysterious person.
Media was agog with speculation about a girl friend either in Chennai,Pune or Bangalore .
Now Yuuraj has revealed that it is none other than The master,Sachin Tendulkar(Isn’t time we Called Sachin as The Master?)
People who achieve are one a breed apart.
But to inspire the Youth, that too, a temperamental and highly talented one at that?
Sachin is Sachin.
Story:
Yuvraj Singh lifted the suspense he had created last month, confirming team mate Sachin Tendulkar was the “special person” he owes his red hot World Cup form to.
The 29-year-old southpaw kept the entire nation guessing after the quarter-final win against Australia, saying he was playing for a “special person” who always stood by him.
“Very sorry to disappoint you, guys. It was not for my girlfriend or my fiancee but for Sachin Tendulkar,” he told reporters on Saturday, keeping his promise to reveal the identity of the person after the team reached the final.
Dhoni is believed to have made a commitment to do so before a deity close to his hometown in Ranchi before the World Cup began. The priest had advised him to shave off the head between 2.45 am and 3 am which is what he did.
The hair will now be offered at the Balaji temple in Tirupati.
….Incidentally, Dhoni had cut his long locks after India won the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007.
If the decision of the Field Umpires are reversed, it points out the Error of Judgment by them.
How is it they remain immune from action by ICC , for the mistake they commit ,especially when it could have cost a match to a Team?(In fact, it nearly in World Cup Tie between India and England on 28 FEB), while if the decision remains unaltered the number of appeal is reduced.
It is like Plaintiff being penalized for failing to prove the Respondent Guilty( in the form of reducing the appeal to Third Umpire)
For the First reversed decision, both the Field Umpires should forego 25% of their match fee% for the Second, for the Third 75% and they should be replaced by new set of Field Umpires.
They can no longer escape under the plea they are human,
They have technology to rely on.
Even after that there are mistakes, if it is genuine, it is ok.
When you shun Technology you should shun altogether, which you do not; you rely on it through the Third Umpire.
During a Test match, each team is given two challenges per innings. A fielding team may use the system to dispute a “not out” call and a batting team may do so to dispute an “out” call. The fielding team captain or the batsman being dismissed invokes the challenge by signalling a “T” with the arms. Once the challenge is invoked, acknowledged, and agreed, the Third Umpire reviews the play. While umpires may request the Third Umpire for certain close calls such as line calls (to determine run outs and stumpings) and boundary calls, a challenge may be used in situations that may result in a dismissal: for example, to determine if the ball is a legal catch (making contact with the batsman’s bat or glove and not touching the ground before being held by a fielder) or if a delivery made the criteria for a leg before wicketdismissal (hitting the ground in line or on the off side and hitting the batsman in line with a path that would have hit the wicket). The Third Umpire then reports to the on-field umpire whether his analysis supports the original call, contradicts the call, or is inconclusive. The on-field umpire then makes the final decision: either re-signalling a call that is standing or revoking a call that is being reversed and then making the corrected signal. If a team’s challenge results in a reversed call, the team keep that challenge; they can continue to challenge throughout the innings until they make two failed challenges.
Listen to his philosophy for success, nothing but Karma Yoga in action.
Some cricketers ‘ total career score do not exceed 5000
But Sachin remains the epitome of Humility,Modesty, and Simplicity.

Despite standing on the threshold of history, Sachin Tendulkar seemed unfazed by the media attention and the anticipation around his 50th Test century.
“I believe it is destiny. When it is destined to happen it will happen. I am not thinking too much about it. My focus is on preparation,” Tendulkar said.
Tendulkar, however, preferred to focus on the match and not personal landmarks.
“For me one thing is very important and that is to get acclimatised to local weather conditions,” he said. “Preparations have been spot on and the lengthy practice session has given us that opportunity (to get acclimatised). “We have had good net sessions under the guidance of coach Gary (Kirsten),” he said.
The Indian master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar gets another feather of praise and honor added to his cap as the great player of West Indies, Brian Lara described the Indian batting legend as the “Don Bradman of modern era”, but he refused to compare the two icons of the different eras.
Talking about Tendulkar and his excellence in batting, the Caribbean batsman who is equally famous for his record score states that what astonishes him about Sachin is his longevity and attachment to the game. Lara says, “I don’t think that there is any competition between the two legendary players. Both are great in their own skill with love for the game. Tendulkar has proved to the world his capability and longevity in the game which is definitely praiseworthy.”
“The longer time Sachin stays in the game, he is going to tumble more records. The fact that a player can perform brilliantly from the age of 16 till date at the age of 37 is something to cherish and admire than anything else” says Lara. He also says that Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar should not be compared as they played in different eras. According to him, “Sachin Tendulkar is the Don Bradman of our period.”
