LORD of the TITANS

  

We all need a hero. A person who sets examples for us, who makes us believe in miracles, a person who is larger than our lives. We need a hero for whom we can pray,cry,dream and cheer. A hero who tiles his own road, whose mental will surpasses his physical capacity, who gives meaning to the word 'champion'. We wait for hours to catch a mere glimpse of him, we stand in queues to scream and wave at him irrespective of the heat,rain,sweat and cold. We fight and argue with our closest buddies in favour of him, we wear T-shirts carrying king-size picture of him and we paint our walls with his color. We don't accept his failures, we don't count his vulnerability.Rather, we rever his passion and we idolize his commitment. We go crazy for him because we know that he is not just a winner. He is a champion filled with extraordinary compassion, commitment and modesty. His name is snynonymous with brilliance, purity and magic.And we know, if by any chance, we get to touch him, we will touch divinity.

We need a hero, whose story, we can narrate to our kids, years later, feeling proud of the fact that we were born in his era.

PS: I thought to write about Sachin and his achievements here, but quickly realized that I am not capable enough to describe him in words. He is above all statistics and comparisons. And after the last day's display of his 'supermanness', I feel there is absolutely no need to do this or to prove anything to anyone.
