The Human spirit continues to amaze me in ways that are beyond any explanation.I say this because whenever i think i have seen all the variations possible and just about to reach a conclusion that something Super special happens and i sit in awe of this amazing happening!!!

The event that is forcing me to write today is related to a sports performance – Cricket to be specific…Well it is undoubtedly the most covered and (over)talked  sport in India…but we can’t escape from the fact that we have an inherent liking for this addictive game..and yes it is my favourite game too…and may be that is the reason that i learn many lessons of my life from it(I really Do!!!).

I will be writing here about the innings played by Sachin in the 5th ODI(Hero Honda Cup 2009) between India and Australia in Hyderabad.It is not the case that i haven’t seen sachin playing so well before but what amazed me is little deeper than what meets the eye.

Australia set up a mammoth total of 350 in 50 overs for Indian team to chase.350 …did i say!!!

Well just the sound of the score too intimidating and the chasing team starts thinking of how much will be a honourable defeat…even as a audience who have some unrealistic expectations at times you feel it is beyond the reach.We too have such situations in our lives everyday when we face a situation which seems unsurmountable …but that is exactly where the magic begins…A short man walks in the ground amid cheers that threaten to bring the stadium down and an excitement that is simply unmatched and inexplicable. We have seen him walking into the stadium to begin the fight for the country for about twenty years now…but are we bored of it?? No waysss…Infact the excitement increases every single time as we see our excitement reflected back from the Great man..Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.  The passion with which he plays the game is unfathomable and worth imitating in our lives in whatever we may be doing.

He lives his passion.It shows on his face all the time.That childlike Innocent happiness every time things go india’s way tells it all…and that disaapointment when ever we lose a close game.The best thing is his insatiable hunger which keeps him excited for his game day after day and is simply unbelievable.Even if we can have some part of that in our chosen field we would be many times more efficient.Most importantly it is about loving what one is doing and Sachin shows us how to do it year after year with a focus and determination that is out of the world!!

The man is an institution in himself…an icon worth following and a man worth emulating.

So people borrow heavily from the qualities of this man and get ready to be outstanding in your chosen Line of Activity.Cheers to Him and Happy Success to you all!!!
