Poem on Sachin: Me an underachiever – I am in need.
To,
Dear Sachin Tendulkar,
The dusk bask in when the dawn fawns out;
The days are listless and the nights are sleepless;
The days are fearful and the nights are tearful;
A ray of hope, a way to rope;
I am in need, I am in need;
I saw you fighting for winning cause for the nation;
I saw glow in your eyes after your win;
I saw flow of celebration in my eyes after your win;
I saw you fighting for losing cause for the nation;
I saw tears in your eyes after your loss;
I saw tears in my eyes after your loss;
I saw you losing health while fighting for the nation;
I saw you with my painful eyes;
Your inspiration is in due, my aspirations are in queue;
I depend on you, I append by you;
Take me out of the dark, set me out in the bask;
Fulfill my need, fulfill my wish;
I have not seen heavenly god fulfilling my every second wish, but;
I have seen you fulfilling my every second wish;
I aspire again for your golden glorious;
You inspire again by your golden glorious;
I am in need, I am in need.
Regards,
Vijayanand
(This was my first ever poem on Sachin Tendulkar. I wrote this when he was going through his worst phase ever between 2005-06. It was during South Africa tour,2006 when my emotions finally choked down and forced me to write this poem. It was during when the whole world stood against him and criticized him for his poor form. He was criticized when he was nursing series of injuries.That was the only time he was out of form and people didn’t even spare a second thought of criticizing him. Wonder how will others perform their day to day work when they are bed-ridden ? Interesting right?.All the criticism which was coming from different quarters ( from so-called experts, his anti fans, other cricketer’s fans and of course my so-called friends) hurt me and because of this I openly prayed to him to come out of the slump and inspire me again).
