R2: Godzilla, why does seeing Tendulkar do well make all of us so deeply happy?
Godzilla (without a hint of sarcasm): I wish I could explain that R2. It is almost mystical. Watching him bat at his best is a spiritual experience of the highest order. A friend of mine recently said ,“ I was an atheist till I found God. My God's middle name is Ramesh.” Its amazing that so many Indian cricket lovers make “God” reference when talking about Sachin and it never feels hyperbole. It is said that a player cannot be greater than his sport, but in Sachin’s case, he is definitely greater than Cricket. He is the Hope, the Conscience, the Accomplishment and the Happiness of an entire nation.
And here I say it, Sachin is the greatest ever. Sorry Woods, Jordan, Federer and Joey Chestnut – you guys pale in His comparison.
R2: Wow! Godzilla, you have never sounded so sincere. Let’s not make any silly jokes today and just drink to the God. Cheers!
Godzilla: Cheers!
