This is the first time when I am copying the article of someone else on my blog and even I won't deny rather admit that," YES I AM COPYING THE ARTICLE OF SOMEONE ELSE.When I write something in any social networking sites or in my blog,my friends use to ask me every time," from where have you copied it?" I remain silent unanswered because every now and then I can't answer the same question as I don't like the concept of COPY and PASTE. But this time, I really want that my friend ask me from where have you copied and I will feel glad to answer them because it will  make me realize and ensure me that there are many people who are so bothered about cricket and moreover about SACHIN TENDULKAR that they can even set themselves back on such a boring and useful blog of mine to read about the RELIGION and THE GOD. There is nothing much left for me to say on the match of India vs SA,rather I should say, feelings of THE GOD is picturized on the paper by the genius-Harsha Bhogle. 
You guys ever tried to recall your failure just because of some one else when you tried above your potential and just expect your mates to support you and even that you won't get from your mates and finally you sought that your success is recalling about the DOPPLER'S EFFECT and success is slowing down and failure is succeeding faster now. Do you remember how we feel when we use to write our lab report fixing our ass at a single place and couldn't afford to take it away till we complete writing the report despite,the chair starts giving the sensation like tandoor, but for any reason we left the work and tell any of our friend to do the figure work and then left the place handing over our work to someone else believing in them. But when we return back and see either he didn't do the work or did it wrong and mess up everything and you don't have even much time left to do it again. How much irritating and annoying moment is that. But, we have no other option to keep mum and blame oneself of believing on others and thinking about the moment when we thought "why i had given him this work? It would be rather better to hang up for the some more time and to finish the work." In everyone's life such situation goes by but I guess it won't be so absurd and inevitable as it was with the Sachin's on the day. The same situation gone that day with Sachin Tendulkar but it couldn't get anything worst than this. And the same was the reaction of the little master. I really feel that it is next to impossible to be anything like Sachin and probably I won't be the one to think of putting ma legs on the shoes which Sachin wear. This is the reason why he is referred as GOD. 
After that match, I was simply searching something on one of the cricketing site and somehow i came across this article of Harsha and I felt It can't be anything appropriate and perfect than this. This article of Harsha is much more than simply an article,its a true feeling of a genuine person who really admires and respect the patriotic feeling,hard working and dedication of someone who really deserves to be appreciated for his contribution i.e. Sachin Tendulkar. We all are thankful to little master and shows our gratitude towards him. I request to all the readers and my friends to read this article at least once.
Article by Harsha Bhogle after India v/s South Africa match, must read it! – March 2011 league stage meet( world cup)

Remember when you failed an examination. How many people recall that, your class, friends, relatives? You failed to make it to the IITs or IIMs. Who remembers. How many times have you had the feeling of being the best in your class, school , university, s…tate….., you failed to get a visa stamped this quarter…, you missed a promotion this year…, how did it feel when you dad told you in your early twenties that you are good for nothing…..and now your boss tell you the same… You keep introspecting and go into a shell when people most of whom don’t matter a dime in your life criticize you, back bite you, make fun of you. You are left sad and shattered and you cry when your own kin scoffs at you. You say I am feeling low today. It takes a lot from us to come out of these everyday situations and move on. A lot??? really? Now here’s a man standing on the third man boundary in the last over of a world cup match. The bowler just has to bowl sensibly to win this game. What the man at the boundary sees is 4 rank bad bowls bowled without any sense of focus, planning or regret. India loses, yet again in those circumstances when he has done just about everything right. He does not cry. Does not show any emotion. Just keeps his head down and leaves the field. He has seen these failures for 22 years now. And not just his class, relatives, friends but the whole world has seen these failures. We are too immature to even imagine what goes on in that mind and heart of his. That’s why I would never want to be Sachin. True, he has single handedly lifted to moods of this entire nation umpteen number of times. He has been an inspiration to rise above our mediocrity. Nobody who has ever lifted the willow even comes close to this man’s genius. His dedication and metal strength is unparallel. This is specially for those people who would have made fun of him again last night when India lost. They are people who are mediocre in their own lives. Who just scoff at others to create cheap fun. Who have lived in a small hole throughout their lives and thought they have seen the oceans. Think about the man himself. He is 37 years of age. He has been playing almost non stop for 22 years. The way he was running and diving around the field last night would have put 22 year olds to shame. The way he played the best opening quickies in the world was breathtaking. He just keeps getting better which is by the way humanly impossible. Its not for nothing that people call him GOD. But still I don’t want to be in those shoes. We struggle in keeping our monotonous lives straight, lives which affect a limited number of people. Imagine what would be the magnitude of the inner struggle for him, pain both mental and physical, tears that have frozen with time, knees and ankles and every other joint in the body that is either bandaged or needs to be attended to every night, eyes that don’t sleep before a big game, bats that have scored 99 international tons and still see expectations from a billion people. And he just converts those expectations into reality. We watch in awe, feel privileged. Well I think its time that his team realizes that enough is enough. They have an obligation, not towards their country alone but towards sachin. They need to win this one for him. Stay assured that he himself will still deliver and leave no stone unturned to make sure India wins this cup. This is not just a game, and he is not just a sportsman. Its much more than this. Words fail here…..
