Sachin Tendulkar

Thanks for playing for our country. Though I am not a big cricket fan, ever since I got to know about the dirt that is match fixing, I still hold you in high esteem. You are undoubtedly the best batsman that has ever played the game. Even better than the Don.
And I loathe political leaders who are casting aspersions on you. You have been the one force that has often united this country in a time of crisis. A person who is seen as one that belongs to every Indian and not just a community, a region or a race.
For a deeply pluralistic society like ours you are one symbol of hope. The bad political leadership which has been thrust upon our country to ruin, divide and demean it has also tried to put you into dock. I hope that you are able to serve our country for a few more years and say good bye to the game in a graceful manner. Thanks Sachin, for bringing me out of my frustration by your playing abilities.
