He Is God

Well finally the dreaded words have been said , saurav ganguly has decided to retire from test cricket at the end of the aus series .Well i guess this news must have been a shock and must have been a great disappointment to most of the true patriotic indians and especially the people of kolkata , which according to me is the patriotic capital of india , i am sure that in places like bombay here must have been celebrations .Feels cruel to say this but mumbai has always been unjust to the prince .Those sick people booing him during the IPL match at wankhede or people like dilip vengsarkar , mumbai has shown the dark side of the indian mentality ,ie pull down the people who are successful and doing something useful , if we cant do something useful others also shouldnt do it .People like sanjay manjrekar writing articles on cricinfo praising sauravs contribution infuriate me further .Coz i know deep down manjrekar , vengsarkar and all the mumbaikars are giggling , they have managed to cut down the carreer of a great man , guess they must be proud of themselves .The debate on sauravs place in the team had been heightened unecessarily by the media and by the jealous mumbaikars like vengsarkar , manjrekar and others.I like many other true indians [ i doubt if mumbai has any ] are still trying to come to terms with why dada decide to do this ? he was still looking good to play at least for a year or 2 .He has been a great cricketer , captain , player , father , husband , son , role model and hero .Just hope that he finishes up in typical style with a man of the series award .For the past 12 years has always touched our hearts with his cricket and his behaviour and he is gona leave many of us moist eyed when he plays his final test at nagpur .Thanks for touching our hearts dada .You are the closest thing to god we have ever known .
