Stumped !

Its all over the place and all out. 

Kumble has retired and Ganguly is looking forward to it.

Soon it will be Sachin and Dravid. :(

Well, retirement is not so bad. But have you ever seen god retire ?

These people are like these big idols!! Agreed they are humans, they are not there to amuse or entertain us only!! Its sad.

It's sadder because, Indian (I would love to say the rest of the world too !!) fan following is mourning :( :( 

I have grown up with these heros in my house. Of course, my brother's heros. With missy so self involved, I would hardly care. But I still remember when every guy in my brother's friend circle wanted to be a spinner after Kumble came around. I just found (and still find) the spectacled and "engineer" (gives him a nerdy persona) part cute though!! 

Then came Dravid. They called him the wall. He was (now no more, after he married that doctor chic from my hometown!! how could he do that to me??) so cute (again!). He was considered the most technical player till date. His strokes were like..perfect!! And he was cold like steel in any situation!! And the looks (again!)

sigh..

I don't even know and remember  how many records these guys broke, how many matches they won us, how many centuries they scored, how many wickets they took, but I know one thing they were revered and will be forever!!

If I changed my religion and started following cricket, will you guys stay back a bit longer??

Its never too late you see, I already have my basics ready. There are so many people who still need real heros like you. Consider my suggestion (I don't need to add a "puhleeeeez", right?)

P.S. I personally don't have any opinion or much knowledge about cricket. I have grown up with cricket fanatics and have picked my bits and pieces from them. But I can feel the void forming inside me too. You don't really have to know/follow something to feel these things. I feel empathic with the cricketing community and fans! :( :(
