Sachin steps out from a white Ambassador,
is greeted by a flurry of photographers, journos and freshly appointed
cheerleaders
Sachin (clearing his throat and with that
his way through the crowd): It’s a privilege…
But such is the noise that the privileged
statement is lost on deaf ears…the crowd continues to huddle ask inane
questions…
Journo 1: Sachin, how do you think being an
MP in the Rajya Sabha will affect your cricket form?
Journo 2: Like you have scored 100 100s are
you looking to pass 100 bills too…
Journo 1: sir, Sachin…please…(repeats
question) Sachin, how do you think being an
MP in the Rajya Sabha will affect your cricket form?
Journo 3: Have you thought of a career in
Bollywood?
Journo 4: What was your conversation with
Soniajee that day
Journo 5: Sachin! Areh Sachin listen no…very
impo-r-tant question…what does Anjali mam think of all this…
Journo 6: Would you like Sarah and Arjun to
do politics or cricket
Sachin: It’s been a privilege to…
The commotion is much too much, safari
suited, ray banned security walk him through to security…but at security Sachin
is stopped, as is everyone
Security 1: Sachin! please autograph…
The security guy produces three t-shirts,
two cricket bats, and a few note pads…
Sachin smiles, signs each one of them.
Then the other security guy shows his gun –
Security2: Sir, Sachin sir, please sign on
gun, sir, it’s always with me…and if there is another attack, God forbid, I
will attack the attacker with master blaster’s autograph wallah gun bat…(weak
laugh)
Sachin smiles, signs the gun.
The safari suited ray banned security is
impatient, but only because they want a few autographs for themselves
Apologies from the security as Sachin is
asked to walk through the metal detector – which starts to beep madly
They all apologise for the sound…
Security 1(smiling weakly): Sorry Sachin, it
is not working properly…
Security2 (smiling weakly): Sorry sir,
Sachin, but I have to frisk you…
Security 1: No, no…I have to frisk you…
Security 2: It is my…
Just then Rajiv Shukla appears and
apologises
Shukla: Sorry, but it is procedure even
when I went to United States they…
The frisking is done, and Sachin walks
towards the galleries…he looks up, as he often does when he goes on to bat…the
crowds inside are going nuts, much as they do in the stadium…
Ravi Shastri is centre stage with
microphone –
Ravi Shastri: Cricket really need this…er
ha I mean the Rajya Sabha really needed this….
Mad applause, the MPs are all slapping
their tables with miniature bats branded with Kingfisher …
Ravi Shastri (continues)…Upper house goes
the finger!!
Sachin smiles weakly, somewhat embarrassed
Mukesh Bhai and Nita Bhabhi appear next to
Shastri, they take the mike and start to speak…
The MPs go nuts, appears the Lok Sabha MPs
too have gate-crashed the party
Dozens of cameras roll on Sachin, they have
that same motion-capture technique that immortalized Sachin in that adidas ad
years ago, the same director too…
Sachin stands still amongst all that,
smiles…
Sachin: It’s a privilege…

Why Congress has not nominated honest people like E Sreedharan to RS their services may be more useful than Power Hungry Cricketrs and Filmstars. Is congress afraid of Honest persons
It will be interesting to see how the Rajya Sabha members treat 'God'....if he says something against the BJP members, will they swear at him and throw chairs? :D
Hi everyone, I have decided to start a blog talking about how cricket has shaped my life. I hope to share some of my lessons learned. Here is my first piece: http://bit.ly/IEhBHl. I look forward to having you join me on my journey!
