Sachin Tendulkar’s 41, 30 hundreds are for winning cause
Sachin Tendulkar's 30 hundreds are for winning cause
I got this by mail from one of my friend [courtesy: Sanjeev]
When many people say how many of Sachin’s hundreds have come for a winning cause, Here is analysis of each of those centuries he scored when INDIA lost and reason why it went in vain. Out of the 41 hundreds, 11 hundreds have gone in vain.
1. 37 off 137 (Strike rate 100) balls Vs Sri Lanka at Delhi in 1996 World Cup . India scored 271/3 in 50 overs. The only other 50 score was from Azhar. SL made 272 in 48.4 overs. Manoj Prabhakar had 4-0-47-0. He also opened in the innings and scored 7 of 36 balls.
2. 100 of 111 Balls Vs Pak in Singapore- Apr 96 . India 226 all out in 47.1 overs, When Sachin was out score was 186/4 (We cant blame because next 3 are match fixtures) . Pak had a reduced target of 187 from 33 overs.
Nihar’s World on CopyBlogger Wordpress theme with three columns
I started this blog on Nov 30th, 2007. Initially, I wanted to use CopyBlogger Wordpress theme created by Chris Pearson. I liked this theme very much and wanted to use it but i didn’t because it has only one sidebar. Then i found one more theme called Cutline theme with three columns which is also created by Chris Pearson and has the same features as the former one. This theme is now maintained by Tubetorial. If you like the Cutline theme that i was using earlier, you can download from here.
There are two themes for Cutline 3-column:

Tokyo Disney Sea- a trip to the fantasy world!
Last weekend, I had been to Tokyo Disney Sea. It has been one of my most memorable trips. Built and operated by The Oriental Land Company, it allows you to go through the wonderland of Disney characters and enjoy the thrilling rides. I would not go into the history or technical details of it. Rather, I would just write down the experience one gets on being there. No doubt, since this was my first visit to a theme park.
I was awed at the imagination and meticulous design used in each and every creation.
The entire park has been divided into seven layouts that have separate themes. Each of them look so authentic as all the details have been properly taken care of. At the entrance itself, we saw the “AquaSphere” (globe surrounded by a fountain and Disney characters). This was their way of saying : Welcome aboard, your adventurous journey starts here. And yes, your photo shoot starts here, too.
