SACHINISM INSIDE OUT- E MAGAZINE - AUGUST EDITION
Sachinism.com : The Idea , The Inspiration
In the truest sense the actual inspiration started approximately 20 years back
when a young lad, barely in his teens walked into the field with a bat that most
felt was be too heavy for him. Many felt that the bloke would not be able to
handle the pressure of international cricket and may burn out too soon, some
suggested he needed exposure at domestic level for a few years …..a certain
Imran Khan saw something in him even as he got hit by a Waqar Younis scorcher
.and still went on to make a gritty 50.
Talk about that inning or the way he smashed Abdul Quadir all over the place
or the way he stood firmly when wickets kept tumbling on a bouncy Perth
wicket.......... the signs of genius were evident but I doubt anyone expected him
to become the greatest batsman ever at that stage.
I’ve been tracking his career with awe right from the time i was around 8 or 9
seeing him cross his highest score from 30 something to 50 something to 80
something till he finally came off age and slammed his first ODI ton………….that
was the thrill till then , then his centuries became a national obsession his
scoring was no longer a talking point, but his rare failures almost always hit the
headlines .

It was his authority over the bowlers of the world that forced an otherwise
ordinary Indian team to the semifinals of the world cup in 1996 before India
faced a familiar middle order collapse to succumb to Champions Sri Lanka in
front of an unforgiving Kolkata crowd .It was the way he led his Mumbai Ranaji
team to a win against a loaded Australian team …and the flavor lasted the entire season with Warnie’s nightmares and Waugh’s
acceptance that there’s no shame in losing to such a man when the mighty Australian were blown away in what is famously known
as “desert storm”.
It was his resilience that made Indians feel that it was possible to face the likes of Donald in South African pitches, it was the way he
took responsibility to address a tempestuous Indian crowd from South Africa and follow it up by a series of spectacular performances
including man handling a Pakistani attack boasting of the likes of Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib and Razzaq, it was the way he decided
against playing his favourite strokes and score a resilient 241* against the Aussies in Sydney, it was the way he pierced an outfield
loaded with 7 fielders at will in his little cameo of 28* against England, it was the way he returned back after an injury layout and
straightaway slammed a classy 141, it was the way he responded after a seemingly disappointing world cup to score runs against
every team in the world the examples would never end, nor would the heroics.
If his on field antics were awe inspiring, his conduct off the field is a lesson on handling success and fame with utmost dignity. The
way he has handled astounding pressure, occasional failures and outrageous criticism with the highest degree of élan and still
continue to walk in and live upto the expectations of more than a billion individuals is exemplary.
The concept called SACHINISM, in simplest terms is a belief derived from the examples laid by the great man himself, following
which we can greatly influence our own lives positively. Sachinism.com is a place where Sachin inspires our thought process and the
way we react to day to day situations. Off course the idea has been laid down in concrete form by those who believe that the master
is the most perfect role model for generations to come, who hold Sachin in very high regard not just for his cricketing
accomplishments but also for the lessons he continues to teach tacitly.
The technical work on the website began on 24 th October 2007 and the site opened up to an overwhelming reception on the 4 th of
November the same year, its been due to active involvement of a large number of believers that the project was done at such brisk
pace and since then the site has been literally being run by those who matter the most. We all have a common belief uniting us and
we are committed in using our collective energies to promote the belief so that the benefits are visible in the society.
One nation, one belief.
Sachin Tendulkar -“When there is time to think about cricket, I think but when there is time to
be with family, I try to do justice to that aspect of my life as well.”
