A girl threw a firebrand at a goat that was eating her corn and the goat’s coat caught fire. Maddened with fear, it ran to a haystack and started rubbing against it . The haystack was soon ablaze. The fire spread to the barn and then to the stables in which the royal elephants were housed. Some of the elephants were badly burnt before the fire was finally put out.
The men looking after the elephants could not heal their wounds. So the king sent for his own physician.
On the way to the palace the physician lay down under a tree for a nap. Hardly had he closed his eyes than he felt something warm running down his face. He got up with a start and found that a crow that was sitting on a branch directly above him, had spattered him with its droppings. The physician cursed the crow and wiping his face, continued on his way, but in a foul mood. When he reached the palace and the king asked him for a remedy for the elephants’ wounds he replied: "Rub the wounds with crow's fat, lots of crow’s fat!"
And so began a great slaughter of crows. Thousands were shot and it looked as if the slaughter would continue till all the crows in the kingdom were dead. One day, a crow flew into the palace and settled down in front of the king. Soldiers rushed forward to catch it, but the king waved them back.
"Let it be,’ he said. "Perhaps it has come to tell me something."
"I have," said the bird. "I am the king of crows and I have come to tell you that you are doing us a great wrong. You are being led astray by a man bent on revenge against my brethren."
"You are making a serious accusation," said the king." Have you any proof?"
"I have," said the crow. "The proof lies in the fact that crows have no fat, otherwise you would have got bucketfuls of it from the thousands you have already slaughtered."
The king felt ashamed of what he had done and immediately stopped the slaughter of the birds.

Sachin - The Master Blaster
Appreciations to the Little Master SACHIN TENDULKAR.
@Hashim Amla ---South African Batsman.
"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin
Tendulkar on it."
@yaseer hameed
"Sometimes you get so engrossed in watching batsmen like Rahul Dravid and
Sachin Tendulkar that you lose focus on your job."
"To Sachin, the man we all want to be"
- What Andrew Symonds wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially
for Sachin
Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there
is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something
that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even
those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When
he goes out to bat, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their
lives "
BBC on Sachin
But the finest compliment must be that bookmakers would not fix the odds -
or a game - until Tendulkar was out.
"Tuzhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai?" Wasim Akram to Abdul Razzaq
when the latter dropped Sachin's catch.
@Brian Charles Lara again
Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.
Mark Taylor
"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin" -
Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)
@M. L. Jaisimha:
"The more I see of him the more confused I'm getting to which is his best
knock."
@McGrath
"The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which
he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility -
all make for a one-in-a-billion individual,"
@Wife Anjali
"I can be hundred per cent sure that Sachin will not play for a minute
longer when he is not enjoying himself. He is still so eager to go out
there and play. He will play as long as he feels he can play,"
HAYDEN - I feel is the best SACHIN QUOTE
"I HAVE SEEN GOD, HE BATS AT NO.4 FOR INDIA"
My Personal Best
"Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar."
Tendulkar's daughter, Sara, tells her class her father's name after the
teacher informs them of a restaurant of the same name in Mumbai
KUMBLE : I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets!
@ shahrukh
quoting Shahrukh from an interview
Que: Who do you think as most important celebrity ?
Shahrukh: There was a big party where stars from bollywood and cricket were
invited. Suddenly, there was a big noise, all wanted to see approaching
Amitabh Bachhan.
Then Sachin entered the hall and Amitabh was leading the queue to get a
grab of the GENIUS!!
@Navjot Singh Sidhu
India me aap PrimeMinister ko ek Baar Katghare me khada kar sakte hain..Par
Sachin Tendulkar par Ungli nahi utha Sakte..
@waqar younis
He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also .
A banner once said-' I WILL SEE GOD WHEN I DIE BUT TILL THEN I WILL SEE
SACHIN ' that quiet defines Sachin-The greatest.
Allan Donald...
Sachin Tendulkar has often reminded me of a veteran army colonel who has
many medals on his chest to show how he has conquered bowlers all over the
world .
In one of the interview....
I was bowling to Sachin and he hit me for two fours in a row. One from
point and the other in between point and gully. That was the last two balls of the over and the over after that we (SA) took a wicket and during the group meeting I told Jonty (Rhodes) to be alert and I know a way to pin Sachin. And i delivered the first ball of my next over and it was a fuller length delevery outside offstump. And I shouted catch. To my astonishment the ball was hit to the cover boundary. Such was the brilliance of Sachin. His reflex time is the best I have ever seen. Its like 1/20th of a sec. To get his wicket better not prepare. Atleast u wont regret if he hits you for boundaries.
Peter Rebouck - aussie journalist
On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations.
The train stopped by for few minutes as usual.
Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway
officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century.
This Genius can stop time in India!!
NKP Salve, former Union Minister
This was when he was accused of ball tempering
"Sachin cannot cheat. He is to cricket what (Mahatma) Gandhiji was to
politics. It's clear discrimination.
Andy Flower:
There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the
others.
Feel Proud that Sachin an Indian....

Craig-Kim Combo....
Kim Kardashian has set her goals to fly high in the entertainment business. The former BFF to Paris Hilton, who shot to fame as the superstar sex tape girl with hip hopper Ray J, wants to expand from her current reality show project and become the next 007 Bond Girl. "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is the beginning of Kim's acting career and while Kim is the star of upcoming theatrical release of the spoof film "Disaster Movie."
I wonder how many people will take her lofty goal of acting next to the respected Craig. "The Bond Girls are still recovering from Denise Richards' turn in the legendary film series," stated one Hollywood agent, "I can't see producers making the mistake of hiring a pseudo-celeb whose claim to fame is being Paris Hilton's former party buddy and star of a sex tape and treating her like a legitimate actress."
Still, our girl Kim has hope. "I want to be a Bond Girl and film a love scene with Daniel Craig after he's rescued me," she said. "I would be drowning, wearing a bikini with a gun in a sachet, and he would dive in and get me - that would be really sexy."
Hope for a Sexyyyyyyy Show Kim.......
