The Living Legend,
The God at no. 4
Cricket ka Devta.
Cliché.
But we all know why such clichés have been coined.
When he bats, I switch on my TV and switch off my life.
I remember this particular family vacation, I was 12, I think. We were on our way to some hillstation.
so we had to board a local train for 2 hours. And the train was made to halt because - Sachin Tendulkar was batting at 92 not out. The passengers, the railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete his century.
This 5'5'' master blaster, can make time stop in India!
Here, its quite acceptable to hurl at top notch politicians, but, dare you point a finger at Sachin.
The joy he bring to a billion cricket crazy overgrown bachhas, a million of his countrymen, and the way he handles all the adulation, the expectations with such humility and grace. what a genius.
underneath the helmet, that unruly curly hair, inside that head, there is something we don’t know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even comprehend.
This post to the man we love,
The man we all want to be.

ReplyDeleteI didn't invite you to read my blog.
ReplyDeleteDon't like, stop reading.
I thought I'd give you a second chance.
ReplyDeleteBut your manners?
Clearly missing.
No shit?
ReplyDeleteFound it. On a friend's wall:
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others.Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.
And the train part I think you've told me before. Maybe.
Yes she needs a 2nd chance from YOU. Who are you once again? I think anonymous!!
ReplyDeleteYes peevie, a good line tends to remain on your mind, and you tend to use it.
You can put your sword down Ma'am. I'm not attacking her.
ReplyDeleteNaw I'm not talking against you. That was just a line. I am more annoyed by the "anonymous" commenter.
ReplyDeleteI love you man.

ReplyDeleteSachin might probably be the most revered cricketer that I know. Respect for him goes beyond crossing the boundary. The phrase 'good things come in small packages' was made for him =P
