The, The, THE biggest influence in my life; that's what you were to me, dear Sachin till a few days back, when a so-called Vahad Siddique hailing from north Kerala went ahead and called you a RICH SHIT.
Now you may ask me, who is this Vahad? Why does it bother you if he calls me a Rich Shit? Does that change the equation between us? Have I not entertained you throughout my career, have I not lived for you, have I not had a poise that carried the Indian cricket team through the various allegations spanning match-fixing, bribery, and scandals. Have I not helped you live the Great Indian Dream with my life as an example.
Yes, Sachin, a 10000 'likes' for that; I won't deny any of those, and you are my idol, and I am not disowning you; it is just that I would like you to UNDERSTAND when I reach out to Vahad Siddique and say .."Sorry my friend."
There are friends, good friends, and best friends and I won't categorize Vahad Siddique as he falls in a different league. To be frank Sachin, you don't befriend a Vahad Siddique often; he is just like you my idol, an entertainer, a philosopher and if you play cricket, his 'moothappa' may have invented cricket...
To cut it short Sachin, we have stood by each other during up's and downs, and today we have fought over you, and with all your magnanimity, please do forgive me because he is too dear a friend to me.
Your greatest fan,
Pappan
