Sachin Tendulkar: the man who FROZED time says TIME magazine!




World's most revered magazine, TIME has put it all in a most perfect
and precise way; Time has frozen in front of cricketting God!

"It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the
face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front
of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but
we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will." "When
Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest
bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet
to race an F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de
France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion
Argentina team, (and) Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam," Time
was quoted as saying on its website.


"When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and
company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his
nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The
Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr
Manmohan Singh was yet to 'open' the Nehruvian economy."

Truly, time was frozen for him. May be even it decisively watched his
play and wanted to watch some more of those straight drives! It isn't
just literal but in a sense, he was one man who brought every movement
to a halt when he stood in the middle with his magic wand and whole of
stadium breaking every mould of identity cheered him regardless of
their birth, caste or even nationality. That was our Sachin. May be it
wouldn't be wrong to say, he only has achieved a united India to shout
for something. He was the one legend whose every achievement with joy
filled every fans heart with little more. With every record that he
achieved to break, we hoped and prayed for still more. The thirst to
see him play more was quintessential. And master understood it well
everytime he stood in the middle thrashing every ball that ran towards
him.

To talk or mention of his records would be a disrespect towards the
legend because every cricket follower knows it by heart! Moreover even
those who don't follow cricket; they follow master closely. It's more
than evident when in every home, each pupil tucks his eyes onto tv
sets leaving all their works mostly the daily soaps! Yes, that was the
magic and connection he achieved creating by himself.

When Shahrukh Khan was asked who is one man India most watches or
crave always. He had said, "When I walk into an arena, some people
stands upright and wave hands, when Amitabh Bachchan walks in, more
crowds goes dizzy and roars but when Tendulkar moves in whole of the
place stands tall including myself and Amit ji." That was the craze he
had eventually achieved.

I am mere a part of that long community which counts in unbountables
that still desires to watch him still more... "Though I'm an atheist I
believe in one god: Sachin Tendulkar" twitted a twitteratti. There
can't be anyone in this world who have got himself a bending ovation
amongst million cheering crowd from his own ideologue, Sunil Gavaskar
after he hit a double ton in ODI, first in the cricketting history.
First? Well, everything was first for him and may be last we gonna
see. Because nobody could be that modest after climbing so high and
still preserving the bridges that got him where he stood today. Master
isn't the finest gem in cricketting history but still more precious
even to humanking with his stern discipline and conduct.

He was one assurance of full packed stadium, he was a hope of when
every stalwart had failed, he was one giant who brought whole world to
standstill when he hold that willow in hand. Thats what perhaps US
President Barack Obama referred to when he mentioned concerns over
share market when Tendulkar stood playing in the middle!

For all and many more that you and whole world knows of this one God
whom all pupils believe in against every division, i believe the
Jersey Number 10 of Indian side must be retired forever as it
resembles more of this impossible maestro who achieved every
impossible record than anything and anyone!

After all who would fit into the shoes of this man who frozed even the
TIME that stood for no one till date!?
