As Sachin Tendulkar has become the first cricketer to score 200 runs in a one-dayer, as expected, print and electronic media in India are vying with each other in praising him. (Update: On his achievement of scoring 50 centuries, all the news papers are portraying him as God).
These psychopaths who advised Sachin to retire only a few months ago, are now calling him the GOD of Cricket!! Whenever he was out of form or lost consistency, the critics passed crude comments on his age. The same critics are now heaping praise.
Agreed, it is the job of a critic to 'critically analyze' the performance of a cricketer. But, quite often, the so-called critics passed unreasonable, unceremonious, unwarranted and unproductive comments.
I feel, all such people do not have any right to praise Tendulkar now. I am not able to accept the twin standards of these hypocrites.
Sachin belongs to the 'philosophical' class of AR Rahman, Nobel laureate Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, novelist RK Narayan and others who are totally devoid of egos and do not pay any heed to flattery.
Above all, after having accomplished a great deal, he remains totally calm. Accepts 'Himalayan' success with all humility. I am sure Sachin would take both bouquets and brickbats in the same manner.
Shameless 'critics' - change your attitude at least now. Engage yourselves in constructive criticism.
