A Thankless Nation!!

My heart goes out to these guys... Sachin Tendulkar.. the great man!! "God" as he is known in my circle... 12000 runs.. 1st man to do so... and our media celebrates it with a caveat that .. It took a long time coming... I mean come on!! The man has given you some of the most exhilrating moments and has done you proud for the last 19 years!! Is this what we are about as a nation??

Another one... Sourav Chandidas Ganguly.... since come back in 2006.. 1810 runs at 47.63 with 3 centuries including a double century...Only 4th man after Sachin, Gavaskar and Dravid to complete 7000 runs in test cricket for India. 127 runs in the existing series with 2 notouts leaving him with a staggering average of 127!! Not a single word of praise from anywhere!! No picture of our man on any website!! A small mention somewhere... These guys are gunning for his head for long now... Funny thing is that our skipper this year.. the celebrated "young" man averages a lowly 25.45!! Funny right?? No one baying for his head? One just wonders.... is the media blind? Or is it a consipracy to pack off the seniors...

Just some random thoughts....... Think India Think!! Maybe we have some introspection to do...

cheers,
Bhanu
