Another milestone

Having made the habit of crossing milestones with regularity Sachin Tendulkar crossed two today:'
1) Becoming the highest run scorer in test match cricket
2) First batsmen to score over 12000 run in test match cricket

Not so long ago the mood of India was determined by the kind of innings Sachin played. Not today though, how will the market like to see Tendulkar's test aggregate on the BSE index, even better his ODI aggregate. Or probably thats the reason it was to happen today, to take India's collective physche away from the financial turmoils and yet again celebrate the many achievements of little genius.

Bored with the daily headlines of financial gloom, I can take solace in the fact that atleast half of tomorrow's front page will celebrate Sachin's achievement.

As he did countless time in 90's the master has yet again provided an escape from the realities of the world.
