Sachin The Great

Have you ever witnessed the youth of India shouting Boo when Dhoni hits a Six. Have you ever seen the hard core soul devotees of Indian cricket applauding when an boundary shot by an Indian is fielded against for a single run. I have seen these miracles happening, happening in one of the most premier institute of the world. When the pounding hearts of the billion Indians were taking deep breaths, when the only person important for every man in this country was just one man, just one man, the man who was awaiting to get just one run, to add just one another feather of excellence and divination in his already stars studded cap. Sachin Tendulkar, who is the better identification of the game than the cricket itself, was in the process of creating history. Every Indian was doing a reverse countdown on the number of balls left, and was just praying for Sachin to get the strike as soon as possible. Whereas Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was giving the audience an another spectacular performance, the audience was waiting for something else. This was the eve of India-South Africa one-day cricket match at Captain Roop Singh Stadium in Gwalior. This was a moment when you dont feel happy because somebody else has achieved a success, but you felt glorified such as that you yourself have achieved some great feat. There is only one thought in the minds of every Indian, the proud feeling of being an Indian, there is just one feeling in the minds of every cricket lover, the proud feeling of being a cricket fan, and there is just one feeling in the minds of every observer, the lucky choosen ones to be able to see the miracle happening themselves. We always felt proud that we were born in the nation of the greatest philosophers such as Mahavira and Buddha, the greatest warriors such as Gandhi, Bhagat Singh and Rani Lakshmi Bai, the greatest rulers such as Ashoka and Akbar, the greatest mathematicians such as Aryabhatta and Ramanujan, now the history will taught our future generations that feel proud because you have taken birth in the nation of the greatest player ever. The devout lover of the cricket or the GOD of the cricket, whatever you say is just not enough to describe him. He does not just acts as a great cricketer but as great insipiration for the thousands and millions, as he inspires them to do just what you love and to love watever you do. Excellence will follow the sincere and committed. Success and greatness will follow the excellence.@bkm
