GOD IS BACK.....the christ called sachin

The ball in the game swings. Earlier it used to swing only when it was a new ball but then techniques and innovation made the ball swing even when the ball was worn and it was called reverse swing. So now the ball swings when its new and when its worn.

The game where this ball swings is not called Cricket (where India is on the rise (may be inspired by Arch Enemy..we will rise) against the Sri Lankans ) but I would call it LIFE.

Everyday in life is a lesson. Life is a school someone rightly said.And sometimes the lessons come simply from games. And if you are follower of Cricket or for that matter if you are from the sub-continent where people live, eat ,drink and sleep CRICKET, then you can clearly read the lessons this series has taught us all.

One of my friends scrapped me on orkut "FUCKING GOD IS BACK".
I couldn't realise what he was taking about. Just hours later I realised he was talking about the GOD of Cricket or "SACHIN TENDULKAR" the living legend came back to play after six months and he announces his comeback with style that no one else can match. No fireworks no spoken words, his bat does the talking.
And what it means for all of us.
He is not a captain, he is just a team player. But when he gets going the team gets a boost and in the following matches India was rolling on a high like never before. Every one hitting runs, exceptional bowling, he brought the spirit into the team..the winning zeal and the confidence the belief back. And you need not be a leader to do so.
Yes Ganguly had been successfull but thats mere statistics. The aura aroung ganguly and Sachin is so different. Thought I am not trying to convey that Ganguly was a lamer or a jerk or a looser cause that would be another debate and yes he did contribute to Indian Cricket as a captain. I firmly believe its the class of Dravids and Tendulkars who are the real Indian crickets. Dhoni Sehwag Irfan who just play cricket and don't play with media. Its not the naming game mind you. The team be it the Super Subtitute who just came to gave the drinks. Just hardwork dedication and determination and these guys have it all.

Just when these are all struggling to get a good break and to find a place for themselves in the side, we are also living our lives find a place. Not every one can be a GOD, and for being GOD you need not be a leader.

Just keep doing your work, put your hundred percent, stay true to your heart and yes success will come. Yes when it doesn't come, things go awry...when you are the only one slogging on a Sunday in office struggling, when u realise you don't get anything out of it..I feel frustrated and I also know that I am not alone feeling so.

But thats Okay. This is a learning.
Learn what life is teaching. We choose what be become.
So learn to make choices.
Try to become GOD and if you can't like me, then just follow the GOD when he is back and the motive is not success for you but for the team.


Because its like "WE WILL RISE" and not "I WILL RISE"
