I was an Anti-Team guy.Most of the time thinking Individual performances matter rather than team performance, and finally i have learnt what exactly team effort is from yesterdays game of rugby. The bangalore league has started with 4 teams participating,Black Bucks(im in this team), Black Bears, Army, The Refugees(all foreigners). Our First round was against the most experienced Refugees, the favourites for this game and our team had around 10 new comers out of 15, , but the table turned out to a 21-19 to our side. At times, wen i was tired,wen i culdnt run and protect the ball, i felt they would score a try but i saw r mates chasing and recovering the ball, and me continuing wen a few were tired. finally i realized this was team effort and nothing else.

"Born in Concord, California, Hanks was the product of divorce and traveled the States with his father and two siblings. His longest stint in any grammar school was six months, which made him painfully shy yet prone to being a prankster. This was actually his first taste of acting, which continued in high school where he became the class clown.

In 1990, audiences saw him in Joe Versus the Volcano and The Bonfire of the Vanities, neither of which were runaway hits. Three years later he had two winners with Sleepless in Seattle and Philadelphia, winning his first Oscar for the latter.

His second Oscar for Best Actor came the very next year for Forrest Gump, the lovable antihero who taught us that "Life is like a box of chocolates." In true Forrest fashion, Hanks was invited to celebrate his victory with Princess Diana at Kensington Palace.

Like King Midas, everything Hanks touches seems to turn to gold. He would go on to direct his first feature, That Thing You Do, and From the Earth to the Moon (both well received). Films he starred in such as Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, Cast Away and Road to Perdition had excellent showings at the box office. He was nominated for two more Oscars (Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away), and won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in Cast Away (2000). His look-alike son, actor Colin Hanks (b. 1977), and daughter Elizabeth Hanks (b. 1982), are from his first marriage to Samantha Lewes. Since 1985, Hanks has been married to actress Rita Wilson. They have two children, Chester (b. 1990) and Truman (b. 1995).
