SORRY PAAJI!!!!

SORRY PAAJI!!!!

"sorry paaji!!!" That was sachin tendulkar’s comment when the greatest indian allrounder broke down in front of the cameras during a bbc interview.and..

..and that is precisely what i feel when i see people pointing fingers at him,those very same people who went crazy about him when he brought the world cup which is still our biggest claim to cricketing fame. Sometimes i wonder how do people manage to change their heroes as often as they change their clothes. For me paaji was a hero, and will always be inspite of whatever darkside u may present about him .

I mean why don’t u judge people according to the heights they have reached rather than to the depths they fall. Inspite of what they say about wasim akram, i will still pay to watch him anytime, anywhere rather than any of the “cleanest” bowlers around. Sometimes i really feel that we love to bring down our heroes, maybe this instinct is buried somewhere deep in all of us. Well i have never managed to rekindle this instinct. Maybe because i don’t go by the book when it comes to choosing my heroes, i guess i have never gone by the book in anything i have done, but that doesn’t really matter.

We were talking about a man who led a team which was pretty ordinary to say the least. And led he did, taking us all the way to our most glorious triumph and that probably made cricket what it is today in India. So where do we go from here, suppose a guy comes and tells u Sachin has made some wrong decisions in team selection in lieu of his close association with Kambli(though the probability of this happening is about 1 in a million), what would u do.. would you sell your story to rolling stone, would you take away his glory and leave him alone. I won’t be surprised either way

..sorry paaji!!!!
