Life has changed
Here i am sitting in my office @ night
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life...
How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
but then why it gives less happiness.
How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
but then why there are less people to use them
How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
But then why there is less hunger..
Here i am sitting in my office @ night
Thinking hard about life
How it changed..
How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on
but then why there are less places to go on
How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day
but then why its feels like shop is far away..
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
but then why there are less calls & more messages
Here i am sitting in my office @ night
Thinking hard about life
How it changed...
How a general class journey changed to Flight journey
But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment.
How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop
but then why there is less time to put it on.
How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate
But then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz..
Here i am sitting in my office @ night
Thinking hard about life
How it changed.. How it changed..
ICC Umpire of the Year 2009
Pakistan's Aleem Dar was named Umpire of the Year at the ICC Awards in Johannesburg. Dar, 41, was voted for this award by the 10 Full-Member captains as well as the eight-man Elite Panel of match referees, based on his decision statistics over the last 12 months.
It was the first time he had received an ICC award, and he collected the trophy from ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat. "I am very pleased to get this award," Dar said. "Thanks to the PCB and ICC, as well as my friends and family and of course my wife, who I have to leave for long periods of time.
"Normally I am quite calm and so the pressure is not big for me. It is important to stay cool and if you make a mistake you can't let it get to you. You have to concentrate all the time."
Dar, who made his international debut as an umpire in 2000, joined the Elite Panel in 2004. He beat strong competition from his colleagues Asad Rauf, Tony Hill and five-time ICC Umpire of the Year Simon Taufel. In the voting period of these awards, Dar stood in seven Tests and eight ODIs, as well as the World Twenty20 in England.
