As clichéd it may sound though, opposites make the most celebrated of pairs.. And when the brutal world of sports is washed by the purest liquid on the planet—THE HUMAN TEAR…..isnt it a sight to behold? Human emotions at its purest best!!
When you see your ever infallible hero weeping out of inability or bad luck or for any reason that it may be, does it strike indeed he too is human. While the first lesson of sports will teach you to take every defeat in your stride, bury every emotion into the ground its this human facet of sport which makes it surreal. While a Sachin’s cover drive will send a nation into frenzy, Laxman’s artistry will keep a purist raving for years, its those images like Kambli weeping inconsolably after losing a WC match which touch the barest emotions.
But the tears aren’t shallow to be restricted to the men who play the game. The sight of an injured Ramsey walking out of the ground with a broken leg will still make the eyes of every Gooner moist. Tears in sport is a romantic confluence derived from the noblest world of sports and the ubiquitous tears. Every tear kissing hardened cheeks of a sportsman has brought a million hearts together. Every tear caressing the cheeks of a fan has produced a sporting spectacle one better than the one before. All this leads me to wonder, if this is not passion..What is??
