Should Sachin Tendulkar retire???

A "TOP" tv news channel starts this debate.... Should Sachin ramesh tendulkar retire from one day cricket???
And like the trend these days
what does mr doshi_an insurance salesman,from ajmer think?
what does mr selvaraghavan_a banker from Chennai have to say about this?
what is an IT student ankur's opinion from bangalore?
And a dabbawalla in Mumbai, scurrying frantically to deliver his dabbas is stopped by an intrepid correspondent and is asked to air his view about Sachin's future....and even the cabbies trying to hustle their way past rush hour traffic are made to "MAKE THEIR VOICE HEARD",.,.,.,.,
True, this is the land of the Gandhi........the largest democracy in the world.,.,.,.sure,everyone have a right to their opinion,.,.,.,and lest i forget ,the land where cricket is not merely a sport,but a religion for the legions of fans all across this great nation and where cricketers are demigods.
So people are naturally interested to know more about the cricketers and the lives they lead..,so, in comes the great indian media.,to specifically cater to these needs.,.tv to be specific,to bring all the latest news,views,"ACTIONS" and "REACTIONS",.,,.,.So in comes unconfirmed reports,from "RELIABLE HIGHLY PLACED SOURCES" that one Mr Sachin Tendulkar is contemplating hanging his boots in the near future fom one day cricket.I really wonder who these reliable and highly placed sources are,who at the drop of a hat seem to be knowing more about Sachin's plans than his wife and family,or even Sachin himself.and the media,quite despicably air this a countless times at primetime slots till even the hard core tv junkies get freaked out,.,.,this is a classic example of the media's irresponsible reporting giving undue importance to unreliable reports which have not been authenticated and stoking unrest and sometimes even panic among the people.
The other question is who are we to decide on Sachin Tendulkar's career plans.The cricketer billed to be the all time greatest batsman.This great champion playing with what many enthusiasts see at the peak of his ability,with the flair,aggression and sublime skill which endeared him to cricket lovers world over.Sachin has been shouldering huge expectations from the indian public every time he walks out to bat and is praised highly for a good performance and vehemently criticised for every small failure.Doesn't this man who has served Indian cricket tirelessly for the past eighteen odd years performing exceptionally well consistently barring a few bad patches have the right to decide his cricketing future.Though Sachin is not new to these intense speculation and constant scrutiny,the media,with its irresponsible debates is putting undue pressure on this great cricketer instead of trying to keep him out of the intense,often foolish scrutiny,comparisions and unnecessary attention to enable him focus on what he does best,play cricket.The problem i think is mainly because the tv news channels have nothing to show,or they don't want to show the real important issues which do not garner as many eye balls or trp's(another bloody fancy term) as these "SENSATIONAL BREAKING NEWS" do .There are scores of issues which cry for media attention to highlight people's sufferings and many positive things to show to people,to make them smile and give them hope that is so missing in todays world filled with despair for many.The tv news channels may argue that they cover issues like the Jessica lall murder case,the iim grad manjunath murder case and various scams.etc.But why do they do it.Not really to bring any justice,but to capture more eyeballs per show.But along with this they could be more socially responsible and highlight the real problems,social and economic issues plaguing our country.With this they will definitely win hearts than just eyeballs of our very warm hearted nation.
P.S:kudos to dd or doordarshan for being socially responsible and finding airspace to air important socio-economic issues even while other channels are busy playing ball to irrelevant assorted bullshit.
