Apocryphal Stories !!!

There is a dialogue in the novel Atlas Shrugged , which goes like this “If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders-what would you tell him to do?" "I . . . don't know. What . . . could he do? What would you tell him?" "To shrug."

One was frustration at the inability of his fielders to back-up his efforts and the other being to find himself in a team of normal mortals after being a part of champion teams Strauss finds himself in charge of a team that is doing all the right things and even in this match, his team’s bowling was better than that of Australia. In the end, the only separating factor between both the teams was Shane Watson The match started off in a fashion that was utterly reminiscent of the Ashes. England batsmen stitching a superb opening partnership and having the luck running their way throughout the entire span of the partnership. Haddin was helping them with his ineffective keeping. He regularly muffed stumping chances and was having a bad match in general. After what has transpired in the Ashes, it’s barely a surprise and the calls for including Tim Paine won’t be pushed to the backgro...

The point here is to draw the attention to his amazing screen presence When it comes to Telugu film industry, there is nobody who can quite catch up with the energy levels shown by this man. He has time and again proved that the basic ingredients of a movie are not what he is driven by. In fact, it is ENTERTAINMENT that drives him or rather he is the driving force for Entertainment. When it comes to carrying the movie on his shoulders, he has proved that he is second to none Venki, Bhadra, Dubai Seenu, Krishna, Kick and more films of his have proved the fact that he can share a crackling chemistry with anybody and everybody. That he acts in a minimum of three movies per year makes him the distributors favourite hero and the growing number of female audiences in the...
