Frankly I feel that we have had enough of Sachin Tendulkar on TV and everywhere for that matter , no doubt he is a brilliant achiever and has earned name, fame and wealth....but is there any need to go overboard when he decides to retire ! Don't we have far more serious concerns in our country that need to be addressed ?

I didn't see much about Sachin in TV channels. Only sports channels especially Star cricket had used lot of footage a few backs ago. some Local channels which dont have much stuff to show use the footage of star cricket once in a while. That's all.

All the news channels have been going on and on since yesterday, callinhg up his family friends and other people to talk about him and so on...It is the same today on Times now and headlines today...NDTV too had a lot of coverage yesterday and today too....No doubt that he is an achiever but hero worship should have some limits ...
Well, That's what media always want, something new. I am sure no body will care after his farewell done.
No doubt about that, but while it goes on , it is a bit too much to take in....We need to have a balance !

This is the trick used generally by those channels which have no stuff to show on a given day. Sachin footage is a syndicated stuff for which no extra work like creating storyboard etc are necessary. Just playing the stuff on their channels. All the telugu channels use these space fillers.

That's the problem with us. We do everything in excess. Sachin like every celebrity has to go in to PAST. How many people are still rememberng Don Bradman we know.

May be, but it is a dangerous trend of hero worship and this is how we get sucked into a system where we make much of celebrities,politicians and others and look down on common people with common problems and achievemnets..

Channels are least bothered about the trends. They bother about their ratings. True , Hero worship is an unhealthy trend.

It is right at present Sachin's retirement is hot topic. This hero worship is time being, after some time all forgot Sachine.

Apart from that it will effect his game adversely and his last game may turnout to be a big disappointment for him and his fans.
Usha I totally agree with you, although I too am a fan of Sachin, it has still made me sick of so much constant adulation and worship that is going on currently for the past so many days. Not just sports and News channels, but even in the daily soaps it is all about Sachin Tendulkar, I actually switched off TV twice! :blink: It is beyond doubt that he is a brilliant cricketer and has achieved a status that no one else has managed to even reach, but so much worship and a big hullabaloo about his retirement is quite beyond my comprehension! Or maybe I am stupid but I still fail to understand why money needs to be spent on building a new path at the stadium just to make sure his mother is able to reach their on her wheelchair to see her son play for the last time? And that too when she spent her entire lifetime avoiding to sit in the stadium even once to see him play! :blink: :blink:
News headlines must include news from all sphere be it entertainment, sports, politics or social and general awareness, etc. We cannot avoid any of them. Sachin Tendulkar is idle of many young Indians. People learn from them be it good or bad. Although we should accept the good.
We learn how to become great and famous like them.

Of course, i agree with what you said that Sachin is a role model for Indians. especially young ones. So is Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas chandra Bose. What I feel is if done in doses people relish anything. It should not be overdone. Its what happening in Sachin's media coverage.

Sachin is a role model as far as cricket is concerned only ! I wouldnt have wanted my children to emulate him where studies and academic distinction is concerned...He also commercialised cricket by modeling and making large bucks, so let us not close ourr eyes about realities.Besides being a brilliant sportsperson he is also a brilliant business man...He has tried to evade taxes quite a few times taking advantage of the fact that he is adored by all including the politicians !
No one is perfect and it is the same case with Sachin, so let us not take him to the level of a demi god...
