I believe in GOD.People know the ONE by many names based on their religion.
For Hindus--- Ishwar,
For Muslims--- Allah,
For Christians---Jesus,
For Sikhs--- Wahe Guru...... and the list continues.
We believe in some divine power who protect us from all kind of evils in this world. I too have felt him a lot of times. But, I have never seen him.
Or Am I wrong??? I have seen him and see him almost daily battling(read batting).. against all kind of evils.(Read bowlers)..
If in the list above , I add another religion(Though its not for many people but many of you would support me.. that India has got an additional religion and that is cricket)...then, we have another GOD incarnated and sane people call him Sachin Tendulkar...But there are a few insane like me who couldnt find another name for him other than God. Someone rightly said... If Cricket is a religion then Sachin is God...
For last 19 years,we have been living a life enforced by him. When he hits a century and India wins, he is happy.. so are we.. If he doesn't perform well, it does reflect on our performance in our day-2-day activities..Believe me or not. it is cent percent true for many Indans who follow cricket religiously; though they may deny this fact.
Last week,he broke another record and it was my day.. Things went smoothly..without any hicupps. Why do I hail him as GOD?? Do I really need to answer this? Just see him with his willow on the cricket ground..and you will know the answer. People always compared him with Sunny,Vivian,Lara,Haynes( I have intentionally missed Punter.He is not worhty to be in this list.Read my previous post) and I-dont-remember so many batting maesteros and tried to belittle his achievements by finding something or the other.
But, it has not affected him as he knows it that he is beyond this comparison.
Just a simple logic I have for my arguement:- Find me any player who has such phenomenal success in both forms of game. You can't find one. We have Lara and Sunny who are really gr8s in Test matches; then we have Vivian and Desmond, gr8 in Onedays. But, once you look at their records in other forms of the games,answer will flash befor you and how hard you try to deny it, you would not be able to deny the fact that Sachu is the most accomplished batsman in the modern era.I can't really comment about Don as I haven't seen him playing LIVE. May be I missed another GOD in action.
One could just tell that he doesn't hit century in every match and wins..but then its we who are expecting this from him. Just think, how often does your wish come true in your real life. Here at least, percentage of him making us cheerful is pretty high.
I have been really fortunate to be be born in his era and watching him play. I know its not too long that I would continue watching him but for now I would not want to think about that and would just live in present and cherish all the precious moments he is providing to me.
Congratulating him on his wonderful feat.. and hope there is a lot more to come...
HAIL GOD!!!!
