SehWagged

Aby baby in a hit film had said " Duniya mein do tarah ke log... ". There are two kinds of people: as per todays obama catch mantra: Those who think they can and those who think they cannot. and that though makes the final difference.
When i had written about Ganguly and Tendulkar, i had thought i would write on each of big 5. Naturally kumble is next in line as dravid story seems to have tragic ending and VVS is still very much on.. But now arises a need to add another great: Viru..
He is the most paisa vasool player in world today. Full value of money or time whenever you watch him. More than entertainment which cricket is , he gives a special food for thought. The only way he thinks is positive. If he thinks he can hit he does. More often than not, it succeeds. People have criticized that he throws away wicket loosely and does not have technique. What better technique you can have if you can hit like what he does. And about throwing away wicket , its shows for lack of fear of failure.
Even in life we need to do away with lot of mental baggage, remove negativity and stop being afraid of failures: Sehwag shows the way. Fear of failure comes with lack of confidence in ones ability and efforts. Back your strenghts, think positively: Think every ball as potential boundary ball : be it a bouncer (recession) or be it a half volley (boom time). Every ball can be hit. You will get beaten one ball or might even be out. But dont stop playing your shots....
Dont just block the ball. Purpose of life is to score runs , and while doing that is that you remain notout. If you dont score, better be out as blocking will not lead you anywhere. Score will remain same and there will be one ball which will take you out just as people who are comfortably enconsced in their jobs get fired during recession as an example. Are you listening dravid and all those who are afraid of taking risk.
Coming back to cricket from philosophy; he rightfully got Man of match ahead of SRT (separate mention is deseverd for his 4th innings knock) or Yuvi or Strauss as it was the difference between sides: wining and losing
Positive attitude and art of living has one more name: Sehwag
i will pay any amount to watch him play or can spend very precious commodity these days: Time to get myself entertained and educated.
