Interesting puzzle

I always wondered: why do I have to click on the Start button to stop windows?
I guess Microsoft heard my thoughts! No wonder they kept the button and removed the start! OMG! This is scary! is Windows 7 really my idea ;-?
My life is slowly getting converted into Cingular! Unlimited nights and weekends! I am fighting it out now, but have no idea how much longer I am going to be able to take this! I am just glad that it is almost coming to an end. Is this how academics is supposed to be? I was so grossly under-prepared. Work, in India, is no match to academics in the U.S - concentration required, effort spent, knowledge gained!

Time Magazine's quote on Sachin Tendulkar

When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will.
