sachin and ganguly still makes 100's but fixers were more in news than them.waist of a talent like jadeja
it is a more lasting memory...those sixes of waquar...those inningses of ressurection...those singles filled partnerships are all going to be memories...no pardon for jadeja ...but what a waist of talent
clinton came and gone vajpayee went and came it made no diffrence
malleswari's medal was something but tennis doubles hockey medel or boxing medel would have been an achievement
sure amitabh was a failure in big sceen of late in bussiness as well.
but crorepatti reminded why he was or is a superstar.there is something in him that attract all
his showmanship his screen presence has left us with the most.... everlasting.....pleasant....memory on 2000
