The Vault Of Souls

Well , Since India reached the top position in test rankings yesterday, much has changed.


But the foremost change I noticed in any player was in SACHIN TENDULKAR. And I am not talking about his ON-Field self.


Well , In the past few days SACHIN has started speaking on controversial issues. He does'nt usually say anything contoversial nor does he shifts his weight around things but these days he has started saying what is on his mind on issues in his own UNASSUMING DIGNIFIED way.

First, I believe he did a great service to the nation by stating that He was an Indian first and that MUMBAI belonged to all Indians. I think it was even better than his 175... well, almost!! And the response letter by the sena supremo bared to all that his ground was shaking.

Then , At the yesterdays post match session he thrilled a lot of people by including the names of Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh , who were unceremoniously sacked by the BCCI , in the list of people who made most effort in bringing the team to the NO. 1 position. Well, Prasad would be encouraged by this unexpected vote-of-confidence.


Thus, Sachin speaking on national issues is a huge bonus along with having him play for the team. Though not noticable , but for me it is a huge change as he is one man who can influence the minds of most Indians and no-one could ever doubt on his Patriotism!!
