DAVID SHEPERD


   , MBE (27 December 1940 – 27 October 2009[1]) was one of the cricket world's best-known umpires.

What was striking to me was the accuracy of his decisions and the speed at which they came.

He was regarded as a father figure in cricket fraternity and has his own Premonition.




His stance next to wickets was as sharp as the razor sharp finger which raised to give out many a lot.


His radical views on cricket and love for test cricket is well known.








The triple Nelsons could never play with him.

May his accuracy and sharpness inspire a lot.

!!Something Stupid!!

, is a song written by C. Carson Parks and originally recorded in 1967 by Parks and his wife Gaile Foote, as "Carson and Gaile". It is best known in the hit version by Frank Sinatra and his daughter, Nancy Sinatra.

British singer Robbie Williams recorded "Somethin' Stupid" as a duet in 2001 with Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman. The song appeared on Williams' 2001 album, Swing When You're Winning, and it topped the UK Singles Chart at the end of the year.
I know I stand in line
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
you won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like :"I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
you still despise the same old lines
you heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you
for me it's true
and never seemed so right before

I practice everyday
to find some clever lines to say
to make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait
until the evening gets late
and I'm alone with you

The time is right
your perfume fills my head
the stars get red
and oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like: "I love you"

The time is right
your perfume fills my head
the stars get red
and oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like: "I love you"

"I love you"
"I love you"... I love you
 But is Ain't that stupid after all!!

Michael Jackson

August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009- forever, the KING OF POP, is a true performer. There is inherent fan following and in spite of all of his public image because of private life, he still lived king size and following song just made me his fan for life.





"They Don't Care About Us"

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
black man, black male
Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us



Long live the spirit of pop which Michael defined,

"When You Say Nothing At All"


It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing


The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd

Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me


(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

PETE SAMPRAS




Petros "Pete" Sampras (born August 12, 1971, in Washington, D.C.) is a retired Greek American tennis player and former World No. 1.

Pete Sampras was born in Washington, D.C., and is the third son of Sammy and Georgia Sampras. His parents are Greek immigrants.Greek culture played a big role in his upbringing since his mother Georgia is AYA originally from Sparta while his father Sam was half Greek Jewish.

During his 15-year career, he won 14 Grand Slam men's singles titles, (a record he shares with Roger Federer from Switzerland)and had a 203–38 win-loss record over 52 Grand Slam singles tournament appearances.

"Even though Federer has made the career grand-slam and equalled him at 14 GS still Sampras is more a humble champion to me. Never a faze on court, just a lick on eyebrow and cam out the Ace at the top of Tennis. Sheer brilliance and humility"

DHEERE DHEERE SE

is a song in waiting, soothing as it can be;
has to be one phase of everybody's life.
written by Sameer


Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana
Dheere Dheere Se Mere Dil Ko Churaana
Tum Se Pyaar Humein Kitna Hai Jaane Jaana
Tumse Milkar Tumko Hai Bataana

Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana
Dheere Dheere Se Mere Dil Ko Churaana
Tum Se Pyaar Humein Kitna Hai Jaane Jaana
Tumse Milkar Tumko Hai Bataana

Jabse Tujhko Dekha Dil Ko Koi Aaraam Nahin
Mere Hothon Pe Ek Tere Siva Koi Naam Nahin
Apna Bhi Haal Tumhare Jaisa Hai Saajan
Bas Yaad Tujhe Karti Hoon Aur Koi Kaam Nahin
Ban Gaya Hoon Main Tera Deewana
Dheere Dheere Se Dil Ko Churaana

Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana
Dheere Dheere Se Mere Dil Ko Churaana

Tune Bhi Aksar Mujhko Jagaya Raaton Mein
Aur Neend Churayi Meethi Meethi Baaton Mein
Tune Bhi Beshak Mujhe Kitna Tadpaya
Phir Bhi Teri Har Ek Ada Par Pyaar Aaya
Aaja Aaja Ab Kaisa Sharmaana
Dheere Dheere Se Dil Ko Churaana

Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana
Dheere Dheere Se Mere Dil Ko Churaana
Tum Se Pyaar Humein Kitna Hai Jaane Jaana
Tumse Milkar Tumko Hai Bataana .

- will sing to somebody someday

E SREEDHARAN





Dr. Elattuvalapil Sreedharan (b. 12 JULY 1932 in Palakkad district, Kerala) is an Indian technocrat, known for completing both the Konkan Railway and Delhi Metro projects within budget and ahead of schedule.

Dr. Elattuvalapil Sreedharan better known as the “Metro man” for his Delhi Metro Project execution. I particularly impressed by his focus and passion for his work which shows in his time management skill and timed delivery of project. At my work on assignments I often requested to select the team myself knowing my requirements, which helped me in delivering output on or before time. This I have learnt by reading about his style of work and a quote of his "I believe that when an officer is given a particular task, he should be made responsible to finish it" gives an important value about onus of one’s work.

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN


 (born Steven Anderson on December 18, 1964, later Steven Williams),better known by his ring name Stone Cold Steve Austin, is an American film and television actor and former professional wrestler, making regular appearances for World Wrestling Entertainment. Austin wrestled for several well-known wrestling promotions such as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and most famously, World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which became World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002. In the late 1990s, Austin gained significant mainstream popularity in the WWF as Stone Cold, a disrespectful, beer-drinking anti-hero who routinely defied his boss, Mr. McMahon. This defiance was often shown by Austin flipping McMahon off and incapacitating him with the Stone Cold Stunner, Austin's finisher.
He retired as a regular in-ring performer in 2003 due to neck, ankle and knee injuries sustained throughout his career. He still makes occasional in-ring appearances, often to only perform his finishing move, the Stone Cold Stunner, normally followed by an extended beer drinking session punctuated by his slamming two beer cans together in a distinctive style then pouring the beer over his face. Austin had his first starring film role as Jack Conrad in the 2007 thriller The Condemned.
Austin is a six-time WWF/E Champion, the 1996 King of the Ring, and winner of the 1997, 1998 and 2001 Royal Rumbles, and is the only man in WWE history to win the Royal Rumble three times. He will also be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 4, 2009.

Austin's genuine rise to superstardom began on June 23, 1996 in Milwaukee, where the 1996 King of the Ring pay-per-view took place. Austin began using his trademark finishing maneuver, the Stone Cold Stunner, and with this new technique he won the King of the Ring tournament, receiving the push originally intended for Hunter Hearst Helmsley. After toppling Marc Mero in the semi-finals, Austin defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the final. At the time, Roberts was portraying a born-again Christian, so after the match, Austin cut a promo during his coronation, telling Roberts
“You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16... Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass! ”
Austin 3:16" ultimately became one of the most popular catch phrases in wrestling history.
""GIVE ME A HELL OR YEA"-- TOUGHEST SOB EVER
I LIKE THE TEXAS RATTLE SNAKE-WRESTLER FOR HIS SHEER ARROGANCE, he is the best entertainer in WWF

Where do you go my lovely
Where do you go - I wanna know
My lovely I wanna know
Where do you go?
I wanna know
Where do you go?
I wanna know
Where do you, where do you go?
Where do you, where do you go?
You leave without a word
No message no number
And now my head is poundin like rollin thunder
You left me with a heartache
Deep inside
Girl you should see me
Cry all night and I wonder
Everybody says what a shame
What is wrong
They dont like the game you play
Heard youre hangin round every night
Until dawn
And waiting for you night and day
Where do you go my lovely
Where do you go - I wanna know
My lovely I wanna know
Where do you go?
I wanna know
Where do you go?
I wanna know
You gotta break the silence
Dont keep me waiting
Just like ariver flowing to the sea
Youre running back to me
Girl, hear what Im saying
Where do you go my lovely
I wanna know
Where do you go?
I wanna know
Where do you, where do you go?
Where do you, where do you go?
Save me
Come back and dry
The tears I cry for you baby
You gotta stop this heartache
Deep inside
You gotta help me make it through the night
Save me - come back and save me
Where do you go my lovely
Where do you go - I wanna know
My lovely I wanna know
Where do you go?
My lovely where do you go?
I wanna know
Where do you, where do you go?


--- It the most soothing song, when I am alone.

QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART

is the fourth single from the Backstreet Boys' international album(1995).

Even in my heart I see
You're not being true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby

Chorus
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got in my heart

I live my life the way
To keep you coming back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see?
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
You better quit playin' games with my heart

Chorus

Quit playin' games
Baby, baby, the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin here forever
Oh baby, baby, this is not right
Lets stop this tonight

Baby, quit playin games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could
So bad, baby
Quit playin games with my heart


-- A heart breaking song indeed. Great solace.
