...Assignment Paper Course Title: News editing and Translation Course Teacher: Nazrul Islam Course Code: MSJ11322 Submitted By: Sourav Ghosh I.D: 113012035 Department: MSJ Date: 24-November-2013 Sachin Tendulkar: A great human being more than a great player 26th December 2004, there was the second one day match Between Bangladesh and India. The match was just about to start. A boy aged most probably ten was walking around the pavilion of Bangabandhu national stadium in Dhaka. The father of that boy was trying to feed him something but it was not ready to take. Then he asked him why not you are eating, would please tell me? He did not reply and pay attention at all. His eyes were strung on stairs towards the dressing room. Suddenly he cheered up, here is Sachin tendulkar ! After hearing the shout everyone was on their feet whether it is true or not. As soon as the boy saw him he at once agreed to eat. It is so much surprising that a sports person can make such impact on a child that he even refused to eat! But it was not so unusual to see a youngster left his food to see one of the greatest cricketers ever. This is `how Sachin Tendulkar has made himself as the cricket god to his fans. There is nothing to tell...

...A Legendary coach John Wooden said, "Many athletes have tremendous God-given gifts. … Who are these individuals? You have never heard of them and you never will." It means many gifted athlete’s fail to reach their true potential. To avoid future disappointments and reach true potentials a good work ethic is must in sports.

Even if one is not in his favourite sports work hard because they have developed a good work ethic and hare dedicated to give their best all endeavours they pursue. We can take the example of Yuvraj singh who initially wanted to be in skating or Sachin Tendulkar who formerly wanted to be tennis Player. Often, it is only when their hard work turns into success that a love for that sport develops; the hard work came first. It is important to note that with this emphasis on preparation over results, players develop a positive self-esteem regardless of whether or not they are successful. It needs to be understood that what is our hands is preparation and that we should to do with dedication ,results will eventually follow.

...I was only 12 when Sachin Tendulkar first represented India and left a nation instantly mesmerised. I remember watching him dance down the track to hit Abdul Qadir for three towering sixes, and must have tried to do the same innumerable times, if only in my imagination. While I was still learning how to stand properly at the crease, Tendulkar was earning standing ovations around the globe; while I was still learning how to use my feet to get to the pitch of the ball, Tendulkar was taking giant strides. The more I played the game, the more I admired him, for it was only through playing that one truly understood the scale of what he was doing. By the end of the 1990s, it was as if he had ceased to be just a player, and now symbolised excellence. It was around this time that I started nurturing the dream of playing for India myself. And yet playing for India and playing alongside Tendulkar seemed two separate things. Playing for India would mean countless hours of toil, something I was prepared for. But nothing had prepared me for sitting in the dressing-room next to my idol. I was a bundle of nerves when I walked into the conference hall of Ahmedabad’s plush Taj hotel for my first India team meeting in October 2003. I had attended many team meetings before, but had little idea of how this one would unfold – and even less idea of how I would react to my first encounter with Tendulkar. Fifteen minutes in, I worried our chat wouldn’t go beyond the customary exchange of greetings:...

...Virat Kohli set to beat Dhoni, Tendulkar in endorsement earnings Team India's batting sensation, Virat Kohli, has been a huge hit with the youngsters - thanks to his quick rise in the international cricket over the past few years. An eye candy for the domestic and international brands, the Delhi lad is all set to surpass the incumbent Indian skipper MS Dhoni and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar in the endorsement earnings. Team India's vice-captain, who seems to be the most comfortable young gun on screen, has reportedly signed a Rs.10-crore per year deal with German sports goods giant, Adidas. The 24-year-old cricketer will be seen endorsing Adidas' apparel and shoes as per his three-year contract. Sachin Tendulkar was the face of Adidas shoes for quite some time in India but it seems that the master blaster's age is finally catching up on his endorsements. According to the TOI reports, the right-hander has also struck a Rs.6.5 crore a year deal with a popular tyre brand that had Tendulkar and Steve Waugh as its ambassadors. The new deals will help Team India's probable future captain to beat the likes of MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar in terms of annual earnings per brand endorsement. With these two deals in his kitty, Kohli is set to take on the big players with an increase in his annual earnings from last year's Rs.40 crore in endorsements. He is currently the face of 13 brands including Pepsi, Toyota and Cinthol deodorants. The Indian skipper MS Dhoni...

...CLASSIC PEN COMPANY - DEVELOPING ABC MODEL Sourav Baliarsingh MIB -118083 ANALYSIS Classic Pen Company’s Return on Sales decreased significantly after it expanded its product line to include red and purple pens. Two alternatives exist: 1) Stop making red and purple pens 2) Increase the price of red and purple pens Prior to adding red and purple pens to its lineup, Classic Pen’s Return on Sales was approximately 22%. However, producing the new colors has caused many time consuming changeovers, increasing production costs and decreasing the Profit Margin. Comprehensive Return on Sales has fallen from 22% to 13.5% (Exhibit 1). Blue and black pens are still generating a 21.6% and 22.6% return, while red and purple pens are operating at a loss, reducing both Net Income and Return on Sales. Classic Pen Company could easily restore its Profit Margin to 22% if it stopped making red and purple pens. Currently, red and purple pens are causing Classic Pen Company to lose money. If the company wants to continue to produce red and purple pens, it should increase the selling price of these colors, so the Return on Sales is equal to, if not greater than, that of the blue and black pens. However, Classic Pen Company should not continue to produce these additional colors at a loss, decreasing its Net Income and comprehensive Return on Sales. Classic Pen Company should immediately cease production on red and purple pens. It should continue to produce blue and black pens, but should...
