Sachin - He is an Icon, He is a cricketer, No!, he is an actor, an Artist

Seems Sachin tendulkar's primary profession is an actor/artist and cricket is his "other source" of income. Referring to his tax filings...

As a fan, I am aghast that this was tried, rejected and re-applied. Is this even required by him? or is he being hood-winked/ill-advised by his accountants/legal team. Eitherway, it is a blot and a stupid one! and what to say about the Tax department that accepted such a claim!!

Mumbai test Seems Ripe for Sachin's 100th ton

Well, the pitch seems to have tons of runs in store. As of the 3rd day, it looks like draw might be the inevitable result. Ideal conditions for Sachin to score his ton of tons, don't you think?

Do you also have difficult sorting in gmail?

Have been wondering about this many times during my usage of gmail and today google-ed it. Seems many many netizens have this same problem. One of the links is here

Observations such as Gmail is search based and not sort based - is like the many junior guys in my company hiding behind technical jargons instead of looking from user perspective. What does the user care?

Anyway, the above link gives round about workarounds in which you can get the mails you want - Not the same as sort, but can probably help 80% of the needs. One good think from google is that if you enter "to:" or "from:" in the search box, it displays the available options from your contact list.
Anyway, My suggestion would be to Convey to google our displeasure and prioritize its implementation in a straight fwd way - Will helps us cleanup megabytes of data and free data center hard disks:)
