My love Mom & Dad:-
My Mom
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
“I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.”
“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.”
My Daddy
“How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.”
“Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts, let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile.”
"I don’t know a lot about sports, but I do know that it is not about winning and losing. It is about the belief that every sportsman has and the effort they put in. I just want to say to Rahul (Dravid) and the boys, that they should just do their best and leave the rest," SRK told almost the entire cricket team, including captain Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, at a function in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The function was organised by soft drinks major Pepsi on the eve of the team's departure for the West Indies.
As some of India's top artistes including Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami performed some foot-tapping numbers for the scores of fans gathered at the venue, actress Priyanka Chopra also put in an appearance to wish the team all the success in Caribbean.
Standing next to Dravid on stage, SRK even apologised to the team on behalf of the media, saying, "Sometimes we may have said rude and demeaning things about the team when they lose, but let me tell you that we take it all back. We love you and we hope you bring back the World Cup."
Looking dapper in a blue India T-shirt, Dravid thanked SRK and scores of fans for the wishes saying "these wishes of a billion people will definitely help us in the World Cup when we go out and do our best."
Other members of the Indian team tapping and moving to the beats of the songs were Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Tendulkar and S Sreesanth.
Cheering the team on, SRK inquired Yuvraj Singh's fitness and told Sehwag "to rock with his bat".
The tone of the event was set by the music director trio of Shankar Ehsan Loy who played some of their most popular tracks including Mitwa ( Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna ), 'Suno Gaur Se Duniya Waalo' and 'Tainu Le Ke Main Jaaonga' from Salaam-e-Ishq .
"We are playing this song especially for the team because we hope the lyrics of the song come true and we bring back the World Cup trophy," Shankar said.
Adnan Sami brought the podium alive with the Pepsi 2003 World Cup anthem, "Ae Aaa O" and some of his other chartbusters.
Scores of fans and curious onlookers had assembled at the venue to catch a glimpse of some of the country's biggest icons.

New Delhi, Sept. 23 (PTI): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, business tycoon Vijay Mallya and BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla will join hundreds of fans to cheer for Team India when Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men take on Pakistan in the final of the Twenty20 cricket World Cup in Johannesburg tomorrow.
Shah Rukh, who played a hockey coach in his latest release "Chak De India", earlier made a surprise visit to the India-England third Test at The Oval last month.
Shah Rukh, Mallya and Shukla will leave tonight by the liquor baron's private jet.
"We will root for the Indian team, which has made us proud by its commendable show. An India-Pakistan match is always a humdinger and we are going to enjoy every bit of it," said Shukla.
me: It must have been a great experience watching the final of the World T20 Championship, what with India winning the World Cup after so many years.
Shah Rukh Khan: It was absolutely wonderful. I am lucky that I could participate in the history-making piece of sportsmanship that the team has shown and I congratulate the team. I am so happy that I could make it and we won, especially against a well-deserving opponent like Pakistan, which also played wonderfully.
me: Do you think that this new team has brought in a totally fresh new look to Indian cricket?
Shah Rukh Khan: Let's not jump to conclusions so fast. They are all great players, but we have always had great players in our team. The BCCI has always made sure that there is a great team playing. However, the fact is that you win some and you lose some, but when you win some, it does not mean that this is the greatest team and when we lose some, it does not mean that it is the worst team!
But this is a great team. On good days we performed very well and we have had a great spell of cricket these last two weeks. Hopefully the form will continue. And I say that this set of guys is very energetic and they have a great belief in winning and that is good spirit.
me: What do you think of the Chak De... factor across sub-continental cricket?
Shah Rukh Khan: I keep telling everyone that the movie does not inspire people. Real heroes like the Indian cricket team which just won the World T20 Championship inspire people.
I am glad that this film of mine came when we are doing so well in football, cricket and hockey. All I would like to say is thank you for giving us more chances to make more movies on real heroes like the Indian cricket team.
happy Surfing!!!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni or MS Dhoni (born July 7, 1981 in Ranchi, Jharkhand) is an Indian cricketer and the current captain of the Indian Twenty20 and ODI team. Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 World Twenty20.
Dhoni is an aggressive right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper.
Dhoni is one of the wicket-keepers who have come through the ranks of junior and India A cricket teams to represent the national team - Parthiv Patel, Ajay Ratra and Dinesh Karthik being the others. Dhoni, referred to as 'Mahi'
by his friends, debuted in the Bihar cricket
team during the 1998/99 cricket season and was selected to represent India-A for a tour to Kenya in 2004. Along with Gautam Gambhir, Dhoni made multiple centuries against the Pakistan-A team in a tri-nation series and was selected in the Indian national team later in that year.
Dhoni scored 148 against Pakistan in his fifth ODI match in 2005 - then the highest score by an Indian wicketkeeper. Later in the year, he broke his own record as well as set the current world record for the highest score in the second innings in ODI matches as he scored 183* against Sri Lanka. Dhoni's success in the limited overs format secured him a place in the test team and coincidentally he made his maiden test century in his fifth Test mat
ch, when he scored 148 against Pakistan. Consistent performances in ODI cricket through the end of the 2005/06 season saw Dhoni ranked as the No. 1 batsman in the ICC ODI ratings briefly.
Dhoni's form dipped through 2006 as India lost matches at the ICC Champions trophy, DLF Cup, away bilateral series against West Indies and South Africa. A return to form in the home series against West Indies and Sri Lanka in early 2007 proved t
o be an inaccurate indicator of Dhoni's form as India crashed out of the first round in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. Dhoni was out for duck in both India's losses. After the World Cup, Dhoni won the Man of the series award in the bilateral ODI tournament against Bangladesh. For the tour of England, Dhoni was named the ODI team vice-captain.[2]
A powerful hitter of the ball, Dhoni has shown the maturity to restrain his aggressive nature and play a responsible innings when the situation requires.[3] Apart from traditional shots, Dhoni has two very unorthodox but effective cricket strokes. Since his entry into the Indian cricket team, Dhoni's aggressive batting style, success on the field, personality, and long hair have made him one of the most marketable cricketers in India.
