Pride
and happiness finally when a man who I have idolized right from the
time I can remember reaches 100th Century in International cricket. Many
people will say that it comes against a weaker attack on a subcontinent
batting surface, but I hope finally after this the multitude of fickle
fans (who turned on him after he wasn't able to achieve this feat for an
year and four days) will again remember the previous 99 hundreds which
define a momentous journey spanning two decades.
More
than his records what impresses me more is his humbleness and
discipline. He has a billion hopes to fulfill and has to score in every
match, many blasphemously think him as God. That he still has achieved
so much in spite of such high expectations is definitely God level.
Married
at an appropriate age he has not a single controversy blemish in spite
of the constant presence of cameras and journalist who fixate on
documenting every second of his live. Even he passed through the
terrible match-fixing scandal without a single question raised and even
for corrupt men like bookies he remains a huge unpredictable factor. His
simplicity is more endearing to fans like me and teaches us the value
of discipline, focus and hard work.
The
recent years have been tough but as usual I am sure he will again
silence all his critic. There are so many things to say but not enough
time (i have to start a set of experiments you see..:P). But I had to
write this at least to vent out these feelings and document that I was
alive when this event happens.
RESPECT for Sachin Tendulkar - The boy wonder who fulfilled all expectation!!
