God once played cricket

I was 28 when i first witnessed Sachin play for India.

And I was hooked.

It was possibly the combination of his vulnerable child-like looks, his immaculate politeness & humility combined with his magical, smooth yet make-no-mistake aggression and ability to dominate that grabbed attention.

This was an infatuation that would become love with the many high-fives, pumped-up-fists, midnight celebrations and those quite smiles of victory while pretending to be working.

Ahhhh #tendulkar: well played and #thankyousachin for all the smiles, the high-fives, the punches-in-the-airs, satisfied celebrations at random times & locations.

God can now go back to normal godly stuff and pack up his pads.

Over the course of more than 60 years, my journey has taken me across India, the Middle East, and South Asia. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with people, explore different cuisines, and experience a variety of cultures and art forms. I’m fortunate to have friends in many places, and several cities around the world feel like home. These experiences have helped shape me into a more empathetic person, always open to learning and new connections.
