so its finally come to pass....The Maharajah had to take his final bow....and for all his fans, it could not have unfolded better.....I am not a die hard fan of indian cricket...just about an average fan...i cannot tell the difference between one Tendulkar cover drive from another...or remember to a painful detail, all those overs bowled in a Test match as some people I know can..but I guess, like most Indians, I have been following cricket to whatever extent is possible....and the memories I retain on top of my mind in all these years of watching cricket is Kapil Dev falling to Eddie Hemmings caught on the boundary by Gatting and Saurav Ganguly waving his shirt at the Lords balcony.....one image dashed hopes, the other provided visions of something new...and as I have read all the farewell scripts written for Dada, I think the common thread is around the Lords incident ...which I think is truly interesting...
for all his statistics, when we think about Ganguly, we think about the shirt waving, the Steve Waugh toss, the Greg Chappell saga, the falling out of favor and the comeback......the off side elegeance and the huge sixes are more of an afterthought...I think few cricketers would had so many off field incidents that kept so many people interested.....but I think the reason I am a Ganguly fan is because he split opinions about himself in such extreme ways....you are either a Ganguly fan or you are not..you can take the middle road with Tendulkar , Dravid, Kumble, Laxman or Sehwag....but not with Ganguly.....
Here was a man...you liked him or hated him...but you could never ignore him.... and thats why this is the end of something special....cricket is at the end of the day entertainment...and with Ganguly, there was no shortage of it...
There will be Gods and Champions...but it will take some time to find another maharajah...someone who can blend elegance and disdain in one smooth package...somone who can lead India like its a hereditary privilege ...unfortunately, theres no yuvraj in the waiting....The feudal days are over
cheers!!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
