I Want To Be Sachin Tendulkar Poem by CANDID XPRESSIONS

i want to be sachin tendulkar,
just to feel,
how its like making millions happy,

i want to be sachin,
just to know, ,
how its like being showered by love, adultation, and affection,
from not just the people of india, ,
but also of the country against which we are competing, ,
i want to sachin,
to see how seasoned pros bite their nails,
while i bat, ,
to see how india stops breathing, ,
while i perform, ,

i want to be sachin..
to know how it feels like,
being the only person, ,
with the capacity to erase bad memories, ,
to heal wounds,
without medicines, ,
i want to be sachin..
to see babies in their nappies smiling, ,
as they see their dads, ,
turning into boisterous seven year olds, ,
to see toothless grandmothers do a jig,
opening the newspaper.
and seeing your full page photograph, ,
with 'GOD' inscribed on it., ,

i want to be sachin,
to know how its like being larger than life, ,
yet firmly on the ground, , ,
to know how to earn millions, ,
yet not being a ' STAR', ,
To see journalists embarrassed on not finding suitable superlatives to describe me, ,
yet letting nothing, , neither praise, , nor flattery,
get into my head, ,
to be a ' DEMI GOD', ,
without the ' GODLY AIRS'..
WITHOUT THE ' GODLY DEMANDS', ,
WITHOUT THE AURA OF BEING A GOD, ,
YET RESERVING A PLACE IN THE PANTHEON FOREVER.....
