I have seen him cry, rejoice, succeed, struggle, in pain and I have seen him ecstatic.
The God I know has not looked away from his responsibilities and more than often has been Selfless. We have heard about Jesus, Krishna, Shiv, Guru Nanak, Sai Baba who transcended all barriers to command respect of millions & billions of humans. On the contrary, there have been many exemplary mortals who were close to perfection like Gandhi ji, Mother Teresa who made a difference in lives of so many mere humans.
I was born in the year when India Won its First World Cup. Unaware of the excitement , happiness and Indian-ness in me, I was living like a mediocre cricket fan for a very longtime. More than that I was living like a mediocre being. Then a day came, when I found my religion..My God and My Idol in Sachin. It was not an enlightenment, but it was once in a Job Interview back during my Graduation when I realized , YES I HAVE A MAN I WANT TO BE LIKE WHEN I DIE, THAT IS SACHIN TENDULKAR. WHY IS HE WORSHIPPED & WHY IS HE AN IDOL??
It is not about his game & about Cricket. It is frankly about the Character & Steel that he is made of. As a young gun, he did not forget his path like Kambli. A perfect differentiator of where HUMILITY can take you in life. Don't fly high, just keep running on with Honesty.
Some men tell us its not about the Power of your Surname, the position & Social status inherited. In my life I have lost many a battles to more deserving people, to more influential people, to prettier faces and attractive women. I have never believed in failing against a Corrupt or a bad human being. They are not a threat to me.We might not be in the most beneficial & conducive circumstances mostly in life (This goes for the common man like us) , but our Will & Efforts can turn tables sooner or later. 5 years down the line I will learn more from like of Dhoni, Saina or maybe Rahul Gandhi. Their time is yet to come, as they are to achieve more than what they have done today.
I do not know about the game much, what is On side/off side, gully, Long on/long off?Thankfully I do know what matters. What is money, Fame, Success maybe nothing in front of a sound sleep after you give your 100% to anything that you do in life. A wish of God to hold the World Cup and his dream had instilled conviction in young stars like Kohli, Yuvraj, Gambhir and many others. Indeed they are honored to have played with Sachin and would be extremely blessed if they learn one/two traits from THE MAN.
BALANCE- To keep the extremes in harmony. Aggression vs Patience with a heart to take Success & Failure in the same stride. Being aware of our strengths & weaknesses. Respecting fate & having the undying belief in Self. Rock solid commitment, passion & perseverance. Saying your heart out with utter simplicity leaving no scope for any bitterness or animosity. Making criticism a TO-DO List rather than a I Hate the Critic. To be 35+ , and still running around the field with enthusiasm of a Teen, I applaud Sachin for training not only his body, passion, talent , character but also his MIND & SPIRIT.
Sachin is a Visionary. He saw India winning the Cup like Gandhi saw India getting Independence. Conviction & Faith as much as being subjective are contagious & Inspiring. I am a NOBODY, but A MAN has inspired me to most of all BE HONEST. Honest to the people in my life, to my profession, to my talents and to my goals.
Yes there are times I want to be Cunning, Clever, Jugaadu & might love to give -in to small temptations and get my way through. I would get the end result once, twice but what would it do to me in future? People would give me back what I gave them jugaad, betrayal & below quality behavior. In India, there are millions of gallons of Talent, optimism, love, hope, faith, honesty. If we even realize 1% of its potential it can lead to many such moments like THE NIGHT OF 2nd APRIL 2011 for INDIA.
Sachin might not have built an empire like Arcelor Mittal or the Ambanis. He has surely built a Nation which will rise against any adversity, pain, struggle & rough patch to enthuse GODNESS (self devised term) into billions of humans who will strive to be like THE SACHIN TENDULKAR. He is a man to be studied and understood. In SACHIN- Hopeless can find hope, Failures can find success, Strugglers can love the pain, Achievers can become humble, Rich can rise above Ferraris & assets to value equality & rise above status-quo, Dishonest can have guilt and Zillions can have a YARDSTICK to measure actual success.
WE CAN BECOME MORE PERFECT AS A HUMAN BY UNDERSTANDING THIS MAN-SACHIN. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A RELIGION, CAN HAVE A REAL EXAMPLE OF DOs & DONTs of life to follow.
SACHIN IS THE MODERN DAY GOD, WHO WILL SIT IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE CARS, IN THE MOST AMAZING ATTIRE & STILL GIVE THAT INNOCENT SMILE WITHOUT ANY AIRS.
Everyday is not our best day, if we give our best shot to atleast one deed that we do in a day, we will achieve more than what we dreamt of.
