The world was what it was. Moving in its own pace.Then came technology, and the world started shrinking and started moving at a faster pace.First they wanted to bring the people together around the world to chat rooms to get to know about each
other.Distances apart, but available online.People from different places whom you wouldn't have dreamed of knowing.I once had a pen friend in Romania.Then it started moving at more faster pace and people started to drift apart.Then they realized to forget about strangers, there is more to connect with friends in one's own circle, as gone are the days where people settle down in the same places they grew up.So we saw Classmates,Geocities,Friendster.Now we keep seeing Orkut ,Facebook and a lot more.
For people who weren't getting enough from having a profile and scrapbooks,walls to write, Twitter came to rescue.Now we know what our dear ones and not so near ones
do every single day.Celebrities have found it a perfect way to communicate with their fans.First there is not much to write which saves more time.So its just few words but still they can be connected to their fans.I have a friend of mine who is a cricket freak ,she watches the match on tv and listens to the commentary over the fm at the same time.She anxiously follows her favourite cricketers' tweets.When one realises there is nothing more to be connected to,Apple wronged them.
People,when apple gave us iTunes10 ,it also gave us "Ping".Ping , a social network for music.Now I know what my friends listen to .What concerts they are planning to attend.He may be a long lost friend from school.But I still, can even know, what is his taste in music.Also I can get to know what are the songs the celebs listen to.So when you are walking down the streets of Sydney far away from home, and you see an old friend , who is so active online,you can connect with him or her in the current moment precisely without the traditional "How have you been?", for its not, just his or her current status you are aware of, but even their play list too.
So after a little talk, you may also want to ask "I see you are listening to Endhiran.So is your favorite song ,Robo da"?
Welcome to Ping.
And it might be, just this ultimate one for music.But then for sure, tomorrow we will be wronged again.

India - better known for its diverse culture and religion, is also best known for its one religion that unites the country like nothing else does and one god almost everyone in the nation worships. Yes in India, Cricket is the religion and Sachin is the God!!!
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, born on April 24 1973 is celebrating his 37th birthday today. On his birthday, the whole nation salutes the little master for all the success he has brought home.
Sachin made his first Test Cricket Debut when he was 16 years old and from then on there was no going back. What a journey it has been, completing 20 years in cricketing world... from where he was to where he is now... Sachin is truly the Master Blaster!!!
Checkout the video below, one of the early interviews with the master!
Who would have thought, that this boy from Bandra would make the nation go crazy whenever he starts the fireworks with his bat and that one day he would become the God of Cricket.
It's been said that only God can make miracles happen and yeah, Sachin is no exception to that!!! He made one in Gwalior on 24th Feb 2010 while batting against South Africa, by becoming the first man on the planet to score a double century in the One Day International Cricket.
Those last few moments, when Sachin was about to make wonders, the whole nation came united and was praying for one cause. From farmers to multi billionaires, from gully cricketers to great cricketing legends... everyone was hoping for that one thing to happen... and Sachin made that happen. He created a new world record by scoring a double century.
Sustaining for the full 50 overs and earning those full 200 runs all by himself even at the age of 36 ,who could question his fitness and his love and passion for Cricket??
Sachin always loved playing for his country and he proved that once again when he dedicated his world record to the people of his country and making the nation proud.
That is Sachin, modest and humble. Anil Kumble, former Test Cricket Captain of India put that in best of his words "I thought the way he celebrated when he reached his 200 epitomised the man's persona. There was no running laps around the field, no aggressive gestures,nothing over-the-top. He did what he always does, raised both his arms, closed his eyes for a moment and quietly acknowledged that it had been done"
Being the successful batsman in cricketing world, Sachin knows what is best for him and his team. Way back in 2007, when Rahul Dravid decided to step down as captain of Indian team, the selectors were planning to give it to Sachin. But it was Sachin who recommended MS Dhoni for captaincy, who was performing extremely well and was in good form at that time. Thanks to Sachin, else India would have lost its Captain Cool.
Success is nothing new for Sachin. He holds all world records under his name. So, what else is left for this man who has seen success in almost all form of his career. Well, there is this ICC World Cup that is coming in about a period of 8-9 months and the whole country is hoping that their God would make miracles happen once again and bring home the trophy, which has been a dream since 1983.
Hope Sachin answers all the prayers. Long Live Sachin!!! Happy Birthday!!!
Football , the religion in most parts of the world.The top stars- Gods of the religion.
