It is a usual day at work and I was going through some web portals related to sports, movies etc. With all articles about batting maestro Sachin, prolific Mani Ratnam, Maradonna, ARR, I was wondering how many such great legends lived in during our period. There were countless. For a moment I thought, this period has produced most number of greats in their respective fields and I proudly smiled sitting at my desk (Thank God that it is closed cubicle and no one saw !!!!) thinking that I would tell my grandchildren that my period was the best.
And now that the moment crossed by, I was thinking, How many such greats lived in the past. I could think
only of a very few like say Einstien, Newton, Bradman, Sobers. It is not that the world hasnt produced many legends previously, it is just that I am so pathetic in history which is the cause for my ignorancy . It is sure that there lived so many greats in the past and so many are yet to come in the future. We just have to sit down, lean back and wait for more to come.
