Gardens by the Bay is an essential part of a stratagem by the Singapore administration to make over Singapore from a 'Garden City' to a 'City in a Garden'. Straddling 101 hectares, it is a part of the city-state's efforts to bring and nurture greenery within the city and capture the spirit of Singapore as a tropical city. The plan is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
Super trees which serve as vertical gardens stand tall in the almost completed Gardens by the Bay with the Marina Bay Sands hotel towers in the background Tuesday, April 3, 2012 in Singapore.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar born April 24, 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, is an Indian cricketer extensively regarded as one of the supreme batsmen in the history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time next only to Sir Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day international (ODI) batsman of all time next only to Sir Viv Richards. The list was later revised to make him the greatest one-day international (ODI) batsman of all time. In September 2007, Shane Warne, the world-record breaking Australian leg spinner, rated Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with or against. Sachin Tendulkar was the only player of the current generation to be built-in in Bradman's Eleven, the dream team of Sir Donald Bradman, published in his biography. He is sometimes referred to as the Little Master or the Master Blaster.
