Sach is life

A master blaster for ages, he is now being blasted for 'metamorphosing' into a miser run scorer. Yes, I am talking about the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar, who despite this rough patch in his long career, continues to overshadow minion critics.
Sachin's case highlights the often-stated fact that public memory lasts as long as you are performing. It's like the present-day corporate philosophy of being judged by your yesterday's performance, your years of toil notwithstanding. Now, a political twist here. Left, the great guardians of the Indian middle and worker class, should find Sachin's fall from greatness in the last year or so to be his victimisation since he is being benchmarked by corporate standards of 'present-day performance'. Shouldn't Sachin be equated with a PSU_the undeniable forte of the Left_since performance and productivity don't look good in the company of these white elephants? But, not a single Left leader has seen Red in the Sachin controversy? Even if one agrees that Sachin has become an NPA, the Left should make it a point to persist with him till he collapses completely! Instead, they have been hurt by Dada being asked to sit out. No voices for Sachin though, who has become Team India proverbial NPA. The little master should restire with grace by not trying to score good Marx anymore.
