GOD

Sachin Tendulkar

Every morning I am shedding tears. Why? Times of India is carrying two pages... TWO WHOLE PAGES.... of articles about Sachin. And today was the best. It was an interview with Anjali Tendulkar (his wife). Touching !!! I have this queer habit of crying at just the thought of Sachin Tendulkar. That has been the impact of this man on my life. Right from that fateful day in Baroda in 1988-89 when he came to play a 'double wicket' tournament ( he was not yet in the Indian team ). I like a kid sat near the 'pooja room' and prayed to God while listening to the commentary on the radio.... right from that day, HE has been an immutable part of my life.

Anyways, right now am too excited to write a proper post... just read the interview and wanted to pay homage to HIS family for the sacrifices they have made for Sachin. Imagine a selfless guy like HIM, having only one selfish desire. To play for the country and contribute. For this, HIS brother, mother, wife and kids have had to do a lot of things that HE has to be indebted to them for. I hope god blesses him to take care of his family and his post-retirement life in the same impeccable and honourable manner.

Enough, got to get ready for my office... can't sit like a this and keep sobbing and writing about the legend. Lol ! What a girl I am becoming !!! :-) ( women's lib, did i hear anyone say?)
