CRICKET Personified by SACHIN!

Personification means giving an inanimate (non-living) object human traits and qualities, such as emotions, desires, sensations, physical gestures and speech. Say, for example, while watching the final match of World cup 2011, some people in the stadium were chanting prayers and when the moment arrived, there were tears(happy) in the eyes. The nearby market gets shut down when there is India-Pakistan match.  

The biggest example of personification of Cricket is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Last time, when he was leaving the ground with wicket in his hand and blend of emotions on his face, it seemed as if a child is parting from his mother. Nobody will remember how many records he has made, but the way he has played will be remembered throughout generations. From the day he has started playing, he has shown what the cricket has been for him. There were some occasions where his efforts proved futile on the ground but his saying "When stones are thrown at you, convert them into milestones" is proved by him. The most beautiful gesture of his - whenever he scores 100, he takes his helmet down and looks up at the sky. The Jersey No.10 is only made for him. Every player who plays for his own country has love and determination for the sport, but above all what Sachin Tendulkar did was he brought the nation closer to cricket, not to just see it only as a game. On his retirement day, when he was walking up the stairs, it seemed that from now Cricket will be only a match between two countries. When I saw him retiring, all the childhood memories related with cricked brushed up my mind. I remember some 10 years back or so, when our tution teacher gave us homework and went to other room, we switched on TV and started watching test match, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar were playing and we all were shouting "Sachin! Sachin!". Every player loves cricket but His love for Cricket is undefined. He has always earned respect.

When all the players were carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders with National flag wavering in his hand, it showed that he has given not only world-class records but He has carried the responsibility of India on his shoulders respectfully. And then he came back, bowed down, touched the pitch and took "Aashirwad" and went back forever. When He was declared out, all the uproar in the stadium came to halt and it seemed cricket lost its personification. And then the last time He signed on the camera.

"Legends never retire"

Have you ever cleaned 8000 VIRUSES!!

The best thing that has happened in this world is invention of Computer (Thanks! Charles Babbage) and subsequently with the mammoth growth in technology sector, we have laptops and now stylish tablets. With the help of world wide web and cloud computing, Internet has become man's best friend.Sitting at home, one can schedule a meeting, talk with relatives who stays on other side of the globe, create relationships (thanks to facebook) and many more. A building cannot stand without its base. To enjoy the benefits of cloud computing, good internet connectivity and most important, a PC or a tablet is required.

If I talk about my experience, I have Lenovo G560 laptop with intel i5 core processor (which is pretty stylish), supported with windows 7 operating system and Microsoft Security essentials as anti-virus software. Product has built in features such as anti-virus automatically gets updated with latest applications and disallows pop-up applications and potential threats gets automatically removed. Even though, laptop has the best anti-virus software, still I am very "protective" about my laptop, scans every weekend, always check latest updates on anti-virus, keeps my laptop in zip bag when not in use, never allow my cousins to insert any game cds in it for fear of virus entering the system.

Even though with all the care and precautions maintained severe Trojan horses and Dropper entered my system. And not one or two, but around 3000! Now the laptop has become slow and steady, battery life has reduced, system automatically gets off and shut down has to be "forced". Keeping in view the above facts, I downloaded some other anti-virus software with the hope that it might help to block unwanted content from internet. Both the anti-viruses were working day and night to clean PC but the "Horses" were not leaving the "ground". Adding to my worries, the new anti-virus which I downloaded contained 5000 more horses ( Trojan Drooper). So, the total goes to 8000 viruses! which was "Life-threatening" for my PC and the only life-coach is Microsoft security essentials which is working day and night to safeguard my PC. Horses are still "racing" with anti-virus and the "war" has not yet ended. It takes around 4-5 hours to remove few horses from the system and there are still many more. While writing the blog, I am still cleaning the viruses.

Hardwork leads to success. Hope my anti-virus throws all horses from the battle-ground and wins this battle. If I talk about experience with my laptop, it has been pretty good since I bought it. The only problem which I am facing is its battery which is quite vulnerable to external threats (here I mean virus). As of now, I never had any misadventure with my PC except that of this virus "scandal". Now, to talk of new Lenovo Yoga tablet, I can suggest it to have

•  longer battery life
• Apple touch
• amazing apps

Thanks Lenovo for the amazing products and hope to get new Yoga now! facebook.com/lenovo
