one of my many heros

India Vs. Pakistan
Dec 2007
Third Test
Break of Day 1
Sourav Ganguly... still playing... 125 and ravaging the Pakis.

a Man of substance in it's true sense.
he takes the trophy of the Fighter of the Century.
the spirit with which Dada fought his way back into the squad was commendable.
after being treated like a dog... and almost kicked out of the team, he marched past all the bastards who stood there watching.

i can actually visualize the royal bengal tiger walk past a heard without bothering to spit at them.
he made his statement.

i am no where close to being a bengali. but i am a fan. i do not go about watching all his innings but i can die for the attitude.
i correlate because i was once battered and bruised. blue and black not metaphorically but it still hurts.
i had my moment of glory to walk past 'the heard'. to fight and kill has been my motto since then.

i bow to the Great Sourav Ganguly for his will and spirit to make a mark.
cheers also go out to another man... bhajji the turner for being another man to come out and support dada in his lean patch. that's how you gang-up... kudos

we cock a snook at 'the heard'. fuck you all...
this includes uncle greg!!!
