Sachin at the Basin
It is a pleasure to watch Sachin batting - even in the nets!
It seems he comes with a plan as he starts his session. He misses one or two; pushes himself to focus more. Requests the net-bowler to pitch em up more on the off.
Asks the bowler what his field is. Then he taps away his singles and twos and keeps a mental score.
Sachin - we'll miss you at the Basin.
As a nice sidelight of the 2009 India tour, read this story:

Keeping up with the Joneses
We all read from time to time about happiness and money. A few of us also understand that having money does not necessarily equate to being happy.
This new Harvard research is a real eye-opener.The research posed two basic sceanrios to the qualified students. Would they take a $100,000 job without being told what their friends/peers earn or would they take a $50,000 job if they knew their peers would earn half their salary.
Surprise Surprise - the particpants chose the 50k pay instead of $100k.
What it shows is we are primarly motivated by comparing ourself with our peers/people known to us/relatives and push ourselves to be the best among this almost negligible percentage of the world's population.
Comparison indeed breeds acquisitiveness.
