Apology Letter to Maria Sharapova

Dear Sharapova,

I sincerely apologize for the wayward posts and comments buzzing on social media these days about the fact that you don't know about Sachin Tendulkar or from where I belong to, THE SACHIN TENDULKAR. Don't get me wrong here I am not anti-Sachin or a hater. I adore him and love him to the core but I am sure that even Sachin wouldn't promote any bullshit like this ever.

To begin with, Sachin Tendulkar is a cricketer who served in the Indian Cricket team for 24 years and holds almost all prominent batting records. He is a 'Bharat Ratna' awardee which is the highest award conferred to any civilian in the country and the first sportsperson to receive such an honour in our great country of 1 billion plus population. For nearly 2 decades now he has been the sensation and the highest level of sportsmanship in the country with everyone from parents, teachers, roadside chachas (uncles/ acquaintances) calling children who aspire to play, "abey sachin banega kya??" (do you want to become Sachin). 

You would have loved it if you were born in India, people would have made big hoardings and banners of you and worshiped you by adoring garlands on your hoardings and pouring milk over it (religious custom). Sachin might just got bored of all this now since he has been accepting this love for years now. Actually, I take it back, that God you were born there otherwise you would have had to deal with drooling lechers from the moment you stepped out of your house and assholes who would pass wry and disgusting comments directed at your blonde hair to your long earrings to your prettiness, everything and anything, no one would have spared you even for a moment. 

On the record I would like to state that there would only be say 20% (or even lesser) who would know you, even lesser who would know Martina Navratilova and even lesser who would know Billie Jean King. For a fact I also know that if it wasn't Sachin and were other sports heroes like Vishwanath Anand or Jeev Milkha Singh or Leander Paes, there wouldn't have been any hue and cry. Hence, you not knowing THE SACHIN TENDULKAR is absolutely fine to me. For all  you should know is how to play the sport you love in the best possible way. There is no problem whatsover in not know who Sachin is. 

For how humble Sachin is he might just come to you and introduce himself by his own but such is his fan following here that they can't digest it. 

Your faithfully,

A Sachin Fan
An Ashamed Indian
A Sports Enthusiast.

P.S. Don't forget to tick on reaction once you read it.
