Iam convinced that I have none to compete against..
I say so because I can always find out more about the competitor and thus find no reason to compete..
But I must compete against myself since I know very less about myself..SO I must compete only against myself..If I finally know who really "I"am then thats the day competition and the desire to achieve ends..Finally a rational reason to this point..GR8

Lara THE MAN
Cricket has been my passion for about 10 years now..And Lara is one person who has remained an enigma even in cricketing senses for me...Before one can admonish me for not watching enough of a cricketing lord like Lara I just want to tell them that it has never worked for me with Lara..I have always wanted to watch a full innings of his live but that has not happened for various reasons like
1).He has lost his wicket early when I watch him
2).Power cuts
3)stupid rain interruptions..
But inspite of this fact I have managed to follow his career via highlights and papers..I have always been awestruck by his genius..He is one person who makes cricket seem as easy as washing dishes in a dishwasher..The sheer variety of strokes he's got when matched with that unending desire to dominate.. some old watchers say its the Carribbean blood that he shares with the original master blaster Viv "GOD" Richards has a role too.But another feature people sometimes forget when they watch Lara in full flow is the amount of hard work that has gone into his batting..Genius can dwarf most attributes that exists around including one's perseverance...The way he fought within himself to emerge from that historic slump of form at the turn of the millenium showed that his strength of character is amazing..I know other cricketers who had slumps but none have had it as bad as Lara and none have come back with such force(400 in an innings is the stats testimonial)..
Iam writing this as Lara is pounding the wits out of the Pakis at Multan with yet another gem and ..
Iam not watching that live either..
